12. Our Complaints Policy for Regulated Loans and Hire Agreements

Stage 1: Receiving your complaint

Once we’ve received your complaint, we’ll write to you within five days to let you know who’ll be dealing with your complaint and how we’ll handle it. We’ll also send you an authority letter for you to sign which allows us access to information from the lender about your account. If we can’t get access to all of your information then we might not be able to investigate your complaint properly.

If a third party has raised the complaint for you, we’ll ask you to sign an authority letter so that we know you’re happy for us to contact the third party on your behalf. We’ll then liaise with them, wherever possible.

Stage 2: Our investigation

We take all complaints about our credit broking/hire service seriously and we’ll investigate all of them thoroughly. Your complaint will be looked into by a dedicated team of specially trained investigators.

As part of our investigation, we’ll gather information from the lender and the sales person who sold you the loan/hire contract. We may also need to speak to other people who were present at the time.

Stage 3: Contacting you

We’ll usually give you a call after we’ve received your signed authority letter. We’ll do this to understand more about your complaint and get your recollection of what happened. If you can’t remember every detail, that’s OK – just tell us what you can.

Stage 4: Our final response to you

We aim to take no more than eight weeks to get back to you with the results of our investigation. We’ll write to you to tell you what we’ve found and whether we’re going to uphold your complaint or not. If your complaint is upheld, the letter will also let you know how we propose to put things right.

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)

If you’re not happy with our final response or we haven’t got back to you within eight weeks, you may be able to refer your complaint to FOS. The Financial Ombudsman is a free to use service. If you want to contact them, you’ll need to do this within six months of us sending you a final response or after the eight week deadline is up, if you haven’t received a final response. We don’t consent to the waiving of our rights to take eight weeks to investigate your complaint before you contact them.

If you do contact FOS and you don’t agree with their decision, then you retain your rights to go to court; but if you accept their decision, it then becomes binding on both of us.

You can get in contact with them using the following information:

  • Telephone: 0800 023 4567
  • E-mail: [email protected]
  • Post: The Financial Ombudsman Service Exchange Tower London E14 9SR
  • Website: financial-ombudsman.org.uk
