If you have a complaint
If you have a complaint about any aspect of our service then we would like to hear from you. You can contact us by telephone or in writing and your complaint will be resolved by the appropriate person in the shortest possible time. All complaints will be acknowledged and confirmed as received within 24 hours of receipt.
To help us to investigate and resolve your concerns as quickly as possible, you should in the first instance contact the department with which you have been dealing. To help us resolve your problem you should provide the following information:
We will try to resolve your complaint immediately. However, sometimes this may not be possible. In the unlikely event that we are not able to resolve your complaint by the end of the next business day, we will keep you informed of the progress of our investigations and provide our final response in writing providing our findings and the action to then take. We aim to resolve all complaints within 72 hours where possible. Complaints that can be resolved within 3 business days can be recorded & communicated differently. Where we consider a complaint to be resolved to your satisfaction, we will send a written summary communication to you. If you are dissatisfied with the resolution of your complaint, you may be able to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the BVRLA Conciliation Service. We will provide you with the relevant details in our final response.
Most complaints will initially be dealt with by your Account Manager, they are your first point of contact and will be able to resolve most day to day matters. If the complaint is of a more complex nature and requires assistance, a member of our management will support and offer assistance. Our main aim is to avoid passing complaints from one department to another, continuity is very important in achieving a positive & satisfactory outcome. All our staff are trained to deal with complaints in a sensitive and professional manner and all complaints will be taken seriously, regardless of the subject.
In the event that the complaint has arisen as a result of action taken/or not, by one of our trusted business partners, such as a finance company, dealer, or delivery agent, we will work with all parties to achieve a swift and positive outcome.
We have various resources available to us, to assist in ascertaining the root of the problem, such as telephone records and call recording, email archives and database records, as well as relevant documentation.
