Complaints Policy

This policy explains how to make a complaint to DMUK in the first instance. 

1. How to make a complaint

If you wish to make a complaint about the service you have received from Debt Movement Ltd, please contact us using one of the following methods:

By phone: 0333 987 0000

By Email: Complaints Team

By Post: Complaints Officer, Debt Movement UK, PO Box 7900, Bilston, WV1 9TJ

2. What to include in your complaint

To help us understand your concerns and investigate them as quickly as possible, please have the following available when you call, or include them in any email or letter that you send us:

• Your full name, address and case reference number.
• The name of the person(s) to whom you have spoken to within Debt Movement.
• Details of your complaint.
• Copies of any correspondence or documents relating to your complaint.
• How you believe we can resolve your complaint.
  

3. What happens next?

Initially we would ask you to contact a Client Service Officer who will try to resolve your complaint over the telephone. If you are satisfied with the outcome following this, no further action will be taken.

If we are unable to resolve your complaint at first contact, or you would prefer to submit your complaint in writing, a written acknowledgement will be issued to you no later than 5 working days from receiving your complaint.

Your concerns will be fully investigated by a Complaints Officer along with the Insolvency Practitioner.

A final response will be issued to you within 8 weeks of the initial receipt of your complaint or we will explain why we are not able to issue a response within that timescale.

During this time the Complaints Officer may need to contact you to seek additional information or clarification regarding your complaint.

4. Not satisfied with our response?

If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint you have the right to make a formal complaint to our regulator.
