Complaints by e-mail

While we typically respond to email complaints using your provided email address, there may be times when a postal response is necessary. This could be to protect your privacy or if we need to include hard copies of documents. Therefore, please include your full postal address in your complaint email.

How We Will Handle Your Complaint

We will try to resolve your complaint immediately and with the minimum of inconvenience to you. The individual who handles your initial contact will discuss your complaint with you to determine the appropriate steps for resolution. The more information you can provide, the quicker we can try to resolve your grievance.

Sometimes we will not be able to solve the problem for you straightaway. We will acknowledge your complaint in writing within two working days in these circumstances. Our goal is to resolve these matters within 14 days.

If your complaint is particularly complex, it may take longer to resolve.

If, together, we cannot reach an agreement by the end of eight weeks, we will:

  • Send you a letter giving you a reason for the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a resolution

Or

  • Issue a final response letter, which will explain our final position.

If, for whatever reason, you are not satisfied with the result of your complaint, please contact the individual who has been handling the matter directly, and they will agree the next steps with you.

If you are still not satisfied you may refer your complaint to our ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) provider, which is The Motor Ombudsman, who will investigate the matter.
