Complaints

We try hard to look after our customers, but unfortunately on rare occasions problems can arise.
If you feel we’ve slipped up, then we want to be able to address that for you.

SUGGESTED FIRST STEP
If you have a problem or complaint we ask that you first try to resolve this with one of our service team. If you are still not happy please ask to speak with their manager. We find most issues will be resolved at this stage.

RAISING A FORMAL COMPLAINT
However if you are still not satisfied, please complete the following form and your complaint will be sent directly to our Compliance Manager for prompt resolution.

    WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
    We have an internal process to deal with complaints – these are dealt with by our compliance team who operate independently from our lending and collections teams.

    We will acknowledge your complaint within 1-3 business days. We then undertake to investigate your complaint and propose a resolution to you promptly (usually in 1-3 business days following the initial acknowledgement).
    We will endeavour to resolve the complaint as soon as possible, however, a longer time frame may be required, depending on the nature of the complaint. In the event of any delay, you will be kept fully informed of our revised response time.

    AFTER OUR INTERNAL REVIEW:
    If you’re still not satisfied with the resolution or clarification offered by our compliance team, you can contact our independent disputes resolution scheme operated by Financial Dispute Resolution Service (“FDRS”).
