Understanding Our Products and Documents

If you have any health issues, difficulty in understanding information or there any recent life events that could affect your ability to fully understand the information and documentation you are presented with or what your commitments are under the agreement, you should carefully consider the amount of time you require to review the documentation.

You should make sure you have sufficient time to assess the information given to ensure the funding option offered is suitable for you and meets your requirements. You should seek further explanations and ask questions if needed to fully understand the documents you are given.

Affordability

Adviser, Provider or Quality of Goods

Clients often express dissatisfaction to their adviser about the product provider, or the quality of the goods. We will need to establish whether or not your complaint relates to the advice given, the advisers service, the service or performance of the product provider, or the quality of the goods. If unclear, this must not delay investigation and we will proceed with our own investigation.

If the complaint is about another party, we will refer details of the complaint to the third party and confirm this course of action to you in writing.

Investigation

The Complaints Officer will establish the nature and scope of your complaint having due regard to the Financial Conduct Authority’s direction:

Deal with complaints promptly and fairly
Give complainants clear replies and, where appropriate, fair redress
 
Complaints Settled within Three Business days – Informal Complaints Process

Complaints that can be settled to your satisfaction within three business days can be recorded and communicated via an informal process.

If a solution to your complaint is proposed and you indicate your acceptance, we will promptly send you a ‘Summary Resolution Communication’, being a written communication from us which:

  1. Refers to the fact that you have made a complaint and informs you that we now consider the complaint to have been resolved to your satisfaction.
  2. Advises you that, if you subsequently decide that you are dissatisfied with the resolution of the complaint, you may be able to refer the complaint back to us for further consideration or alternatively refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service

In addition to sending you a Summary Resolution Communication, we may also use other methods to communicate the information where:

  1. We consider that doing so may better meet your needs; or
  2. We have already been using another method to communicate about the complaint.

Complaints which cannot be Resolved within Three Business Days

Where the Complaints Officer judges that your complaint cannot be resolved within three business days, or they were unable to resolve your complaint in this period, the formal FCA complaints procedure will be followed. This process requires that we:

  • Send you an initial response letter within five days of receiving your complaint, or immediately on realising the informal complaints handling process will not reach a resolution.
  • Provide you with details of our complaints handling procedures.
  • Fully investigate the complaint and, where necessary, make contact with you to seek clarification on any points.
  • Send you a final response letter as soon as possible, but no later than eight weeks after receiving the complaint, detailing how your complaint has been resolved and if any redress will be offered.

Final Response

Our final response letter will set out clearly our decision and the reasons for it. If any financial redress is offered, a clear method of calculation will be shown, and it will be paid promptly and in full.

We will include details of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) in our final response. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may be eligible to refer your complaint to FOS. You must refer the matter to FOS within six months of the date of this letter or the right to use this service is lost.

If we cannot Resolve the Complaint within Eight Weeks:

While we would always aim to complete an investigation within eight weeks, if, for any reason, our investigation is not concluded within this period, our Complaints Officer will write to the complainant again.  We will inform him/her of the reasons for the further delay and advise that if he/she is not satisfied with our progress he/she may be entitled to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Closing a Complaint

Where we receive confirmation from you that you are satisfied with the findings of the investigation and any resolution we have proposed, your complaint will be considered closed.

Where no confirmation has been received from you within four weeks of our final response letter, your complaint may also be considered closed.

Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)

It is our policy to treat all customers the same, however, only eligible complainants may refer their complaint onto the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Eligible complainants are legally defined and have additional rights in law that we must acknowledge and adhere to.

 

Eligible complainants are:

  • A consumer
  • Companies within the definition of a microenterprise
  • Charities with an annual income of under £6,500,000
  • Trustees of a trust with assets of under £5,000,000
  • A small business (only an eligible complainant if the conduct took place after the 1st of April 2019)
  • A guarantor

The Financial Conduct Authority complaints rules apply to complaints:

  • made by, or on behalf of an eligible complainant.
  • relating to regulated activity.
  • involving an allegation that the customer has suffered, or may suffer, financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience.

We will co-operate fully, at all times, with FOS in resolving any complaints made against us and agree to be bound by any awards made by FOS.
