What you will need to provide

To help us investigate and try to resolve your complaint, please provide us with the following information:

  • Details of how we can contact you
  • A clear description of your complaint
  • Details of what you would like us to do to rectify the situation; and
  • If appropriate, copies of any relevant supporting documentation

Our commitment to you

We will thoroughly investigate your complaint and offer a fair response that will consider all the information available to us.

We will do our best to resolve your complaint quickly.  If your complaint relates to our credit broking activities and cannot be resolved promptly, we will:

  • Within 5 working days, provide a written acknowledgement of your complaint and provide details of the person handling the complaint.
  • Keep you updated on the progress of your complaint, and within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint, we will either: write to you with our response and the reasons for providing this response or explain why we are not able to give you a final response and let you know when we expect to be able to provide it.

In some cases, we may need to contact the manufacturer for further information.  If appropriate, we may refer the complaint directly to them for information or action.

We may not always provide the answer you are looking for, but we will make sure we offer a clear explanation for our decision.
