Avoid Wright Mediation, these people are incompetent clowns 🤡
Avoid these incompetent clowns.
They cancelled 3-4 appointments at the last minute and gave feeble excuses/lies as to why we wasted several days holiday off work.
It took 2 1/2 months to eventually get to a second MIAM meeting. Only to be told that we would only be viewing my ex partner’s new side of the story/demands for childcare, not my starting position or the mutual agreement we had reached 6 month prior.
Over the course of the 2 1/2 month ordeal they took £280 cash from us and our allowance of £500 government funding which is a one-time-only grant. We had to take 5 days off work for 2 meetings due to last minute cancellations.
The mediation was massively one sided with the mediator, Julia Sacowicz showing only a spreadsheet of my exes new demands for child arrangements for 86 of the 96 minute meeting, and point blank refused to share the plan we had mutually agreed on 6 months prior to the meeting (my ex backtracked on this agreement and denied any agreement). When I questioned the focus on her new demands and not the previous agreement we had reached, Julia Sacowicz said, we would cover it in the second meeting and invited me to share a document comparing the overall changes, I sent the document prior to the meeting. We were then charged extra to cover the time to discuss my side of the story and my vocalised objections to the one sided nature of the management of the first joint mediation….I was then told at the last minute that I needed to sit in my car for the teams meeting by Wright mediation, despite the fact they let us do the first meeting on different floors for the first meeting.
When the second meeting came, Julia Sacovicz stubbornly refused to look at anything else but my exes new demands - no calendars were to be used. The experience was Sexist and one sided and Julia refused to carry on with the meeting. Not what mediation should be about and not remotely unbiased or impartial.
We are 2 1/2 months on and no closer to resolution than we were at the start of the process, if anything their lack of support and headless chicken organisation has made our situation and the discussions worse…. and as a bonus if we wish to go to mediation at our cost with another company, we need to pay out over £780, because Wright mediation falsely claimed our one time £500 government grant and offer only provided one of the 2 sessions, and that was completely biased to one side.
Wright mediation offered me an £80 refund and said go elsewhere or go to court supplying the C100 form required for a family court application, without completing the mediation we had paid them for.
BE WARNED - They are the faulty towers of mediation companies. Avoid them like the plague!!!
