This document sets out how we respond to your complaints about our services.

How We Will Handle Your Complaint 

We aim to do our best to resolve your complaint by the end of the third business day after the day we receive it (excluding weekends). If we do, we shall send you a summary resolution communication to confirm that we have resolved your complaint and outline how to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Services (FOS) if you are a sole trader and are dissatisfied with the resolution.

If we cannot resolve it by end of the third business day, we shall send you an acknowledgement by close of business to keep you informed of the measures being taken in respect to your complaint resolution.

We aim to resolve all complaints within four weeks. After investigating your complaint, we will send you a final written response and advise you whether we have upheld the complaint or not.

Where we have upheld your complaint, we shall highlight to you how we will resolve the situation. If you agree to the action we propose, then we will consider your complaint closed. If we did not uphold your complaint, then we shall advise you accordingly of the reason and how we reached this conclusion.

We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are permitted to enter into Regulated Consumer Hire Agreements as Owner. You can find our credentials by following the link below:

If you are a sole trader and operate your business in personal capacity as opposed to as a Limited Company, it means you are a Consumer and can escalate your dissatisfaction to the FOS. The details of the FOS are available below.

Where we cannot resolve your complaint within four weeks, we shall advise when we shall be able to resolve the complaint. If you are eligible, we will send you a copy of the FOS explanatory leaflet, which will provide you with enough information, should you want to refer your complaint to the FOS directly. We will write to you again once we have completed our investigation and advise you of the outcome.
