This is how you apply for KO support

KO will only support a consumer under certain circumstances. The dispute shall either be significant for the application of the law, i.e. to clarify the legal situation within a certain area, or the dispute shall be of common consumer interest, i.e. concern a great number of consumers. When KO supports a consumer in a dispute, the state covers the consumer's legal expenses.

KO determines whether a dispute is suitable for KO support when a consumer submits an application.

The application should be sent by postal mail to

Konsumentombudsmannen
Box 48
651 02 Karlstad
