Complaints
At Equifinance we do everything we can to make sure our customers get the best possible service. We are committed to 100% client satisfaction, although we accept that sometimes things don't always work out the way we would like. Our friendly loan advisors and customer services team are always on hand to help you and resolve the vast majority of your queries.
However if you are not happy with our service we'd like to hear about it. That way, we can do something to put it right as soon as we can.
Our Complaints process is designed to be transparent and provide a timely response to any complaint.

What happens once a complaint is received?
We will log and acknowledge any complaint as soon as it is received and you issue the case with a reference number. Wherever possible we aim to resolve your complaint by the end of the same business day but if it requires further investigation we will aim to have a resolution and issue a final response within 7 days.
However, if the complaint requires further investigation and it's not possible for us to resolve it within 7 days, we have up to 8 weeks to respond with our final response.
Our final response will also include a leaflet about the Financial Ombudsman Service in case you are dissatisfied with the handling of the complaint.
You can find out more about the Financial Ombudsman Service on their website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
