In order for us to be able to take care of your case as quickly and well as possible, we need to get some information from you.
Send your email to: konsumenteuropa@konsumentverket.se
You message to us needs to contain:
Your name and the company’s name
A description of the problem
Documentation as evidence of your case
Documentation may for example be:
Agreements/agreement terms
Screen dumps of advertisements
Invoices/receipts for purchases
Your complaint or right of withdrawal notification that you sent to the company
Images/other materials that show the fault (preferably write what you want to prove with each image)
Emails that you and the company sent to each other
Tickets/boarding cards (for travel)
Receipts, if you want to claim compensation for expenses
Baggage receipts

It is also good if you include information such as:

Means of payment (for example bank card, credit card, cash payment)
Sales method (for example in store, e-commerce, phone sales)
Suggestion of solution
We can unfortunately not accept messages or cases by SMS and MMS. Send your case by email instead.
How to send us documentation
We prefer that you send us your documentation, such as receipts, as PDF files. Name the files as clearly as you can, such as “Order confirmation” if you send us an order confirmation. If you send us agreements or agreement terms, they need to be complete.
Documentation that shows your and the company’s written dialogue should preferably be arranged in chronological order. We also need to be able to see sender, recipient and date if you attach emails.
We need to receive all documentation in your case within four weeks otherwise the case will be closed.
If you send letters
Since we scan in all materials that come in to us, it is good if you, in addition to the points above, consider that the documentation you send in to us are in A4 format and free from tape, post-its, registers, staples, paper clips or the like.
What happens once you submit your case?
Once you submit the case, it is registered in our case management system and you are assigned a case officer. The case officer will go through your case and will then contact you. You are then assigned a case number that you must save for further contact with us.
Cases are processed in the order received
We receive many cases every day, and the cases are processed in the order they are received. If your case is urgent (for example on a deadline), it is better to call us during our phone hours.
The case may be shared with one of our sister centres.
If we deem that the company has not followed applicable legislation with regard to your rights as a consumer, the case may be shared with the ECC centre in the country that the company is located in. They will then contact the company for you and provide information about what you have a right to by law.
We cannot compel a company to do anything
Our network cannot force a company to do anything, but rather we can only mediate between you and the company and provide information on rights and obligations. If the company refuses to cooperate, we try to find a dispute resolution body that you can turn to.
Your case becomes official documents
All cases are saved in our case management system. It is not possible to submit a case anonymously. Documents that come in are in most cases public as ECC Sweden is governed by the Swedish principle of public access to official documents.
