If you choose to complain by email, we will usually respond to your email address. However, there may be occasions when we will need to respond to you by post to ensure privacy or where we need to enclose copies of documents.

How long will it take?

We are committed to resolving your complaint fairly and quickly. In most cases, if you contact us with your concerns as soon as you have them, we can agree a solution with you.

 

Within one week

We aim to resolve your complaint straight away. However, if we aren't able to do so within a week, we will write to tell you:

  • Why we haven't resolved it yet
  • Who is dealing with your complaint
  • When we'll contact you again 

More than two weeks

We usually resolve most complaints within two weeks. If your complaint is particularly complex, it may take longer.

We'll be in touch regularly until your complaint has been resolved.

More than eight weeks

If we can’t agree an acceptable resolution to your complaint within eight weeks we will either:

  • Send you a letter giving reasons for the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a decision
  • Issue our decision letter, which will explain our final position
Financial Ombudsman Service

It's our aim to resolve all complaints internally. But if you're not satisfied with our suggested resolution, or if eight weeks have passed since you first brought your complaint to our attention, you may be able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. In order for them to look into your complaint, you must contact them within six months of the date of any final response we've issued.

Complaints relating to a finance agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act (CCA) or to a contract of general insurance may have a right of referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If this is the case, you will also receive a leaflet explaining your rights.

The Financial Ombudsman Service offers a free independent service and can help with most financial complaints, but there are some limitations. Contact them directly for further information.

Finance and Leasing Association (FLA)

The FLA is the leading trade association for the consumer credit sector in the UK, promoting best practice in lending and leasing.

They have two Codes of Practice that require members to deal fairly and responsibly with their customers:

The Lending Code is for customers who have taken out a consumer credit loan with an FLA member, no matter how much it is worth. The Code gives customers more rights than those provided by law, setting out standards of good practive in consumer lending and providing assurance to customers that they can buy with confidence from FLA members. Member companies are bound by the Code at all times in their dealings with borrowers.

Monitored by a group made up of independent consumer representatives and a selection of finance houses, each FLA member has a code compliance officer and internal auditing procedures that ensure they comply.
