External Resolution Options
If we're unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may have the option to refer your complaint to:
Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
If your complaint relates to a regulated financial product provided by one of our lending partners, you may be able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The FOS is a free, independent service for resolving disputes between consumers and financial businesses.
Website: www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
Phone: 0800 023 4567 (free) or 0300 123 9123
Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk
Note: As CapExpand is a commercial finance introducer and not itself FCA-authorised, complaints about our introduction service may not fall within the FOS's jurisdiction. However, complaints about the lending product itself can be directed to the lender, who may be covered by the FOS.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
If your complaint relates to a service provided by one of our partner organisations, you may be able to refer your complaint to the relevant ombudsman or regulatory body. We'll provide details of any relevant schemes when we send our final response to your complaint.
Legal Action
You always have the right to take legal action through the courts if you believe we've breached our agreement with you or failed in our duty of care.
