Complaints Handling and Dispute Resolution

This provides us with the opportunity to prove to you that we are proactive, fair and genuinely care about your concerns. 

Complaints are managed through our license holder (Financial Advice Provider), Instant Finance Limited. 

Our complaints process is outlined below. We will try to make it as easy as 1 - 2 - 3. 

Step 1: Not happy? Something not quite, right? 

  • Please raise your concerns with the staff member you have been dealing with. 

  • If you feel your concerns have not been resolved, ask to speak with their manager. 

  • In most cases we would expect to resolve your concern straight away. 

Step 2: Problem not solved? 

  • If you are not satisfied with our response in Step ONE, please complete our Complaints Form. You can find the form here 

  • Provide as much detail as possible, including how and when to contact you. 

  • We may communicate with you further to better understand what has or has not occurred that has caused the problem. 

  • We will do our utmost to resolve your concerns and/or complaints. 

Step 3: If we cannot agree… 

If we are unable to reach a satisfactory outcome, we will provide you with a “letter of deadlock” so you can refer your complaint to a free and independent disputes resolution scheme.
