HOW MGX MOTOR FINANCE RESPONDS TO COMPLAINTS

Process

Our aim is to resolve complaints as soon as we are aware of them and in accordance with the FCA guidelines. 

Procedures

Once the complaint has been received, we will provide an acknowledgement of the complaint within three working days and also provide confirmation of who is dealing with the complaint.

MGX Motor Finance Ltd will:

  • Investigate the complaint competently, diligently and impartially, obtaining all relevant information.
  • Assess fairly, consistently and promptly, the subject matter of the complaint.
  • Decide whether the complaint should be upheld.
  • Decide what remedial action or redress (or both) may be appropriate.
  • If appropriate, decide whether it has reasonable grounds to be satisfied that another respondent may be solely or jointly responsible for the matter alleged in the complaint.
  • Take into account all relevant factors.
  • Offer redress or remedial action when it decides this is appropriate.
  • Explain to the complainant promptly and, in a way that is fair, clear and not misleading, its assessment of the complaint, its decision on it, and any offer of remedial action or redress.
  • Comply promptly with any offer of remedial action or redress accepted by the complainant.

MGX Motor Finance Ltd will aim to investigate and resolve any complaint within 4 weeks of receipt and in any case within 8 weeks of receipt of the complaint.  The response will include a copy of the Financial Ombudsman Service’s standard explanatory leaflet and set out how to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if they are still dissatisfied.

If MGX Motor Finance Ltd is unable to resolve the complaint within the 8 week period, it will write to the customer advising why this is the case and when the customer can expect to receive a response.

Redress

When our services do not meet our published standards, we aim to make amends in a way that is appropriate to the problems experienced. Redress will always include an explanation of what happened and why and where appropriate we will take action to put things right.

Dissatisfaction with the response

If there is dissatisfaction with our final response, the complaint may be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service.  This needs to be within six months from the date of the final response letter.
