What happens next?
We'll begin our investigation into your complaint. If we can't resolve it within 5 working days we send you a formal acknowledgement letter. This will contain your complaint reference number and our next steps.
We aim to resolve complaints within 15 working days (in some cases it can take up to 8 weeks). At the end of our investigation we send you a 'final response' letter or email. The response will explain our findings, decision and your referral rights.
If you aren't happy with our final response, or we have failed to give you a final response within 8 weeks you have the right to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). You have up to 6 months to refer your complaint to the FOS. They are a free and independent service who resolves disputes between customers and financial service providers.
Referring to the Financial Ombudsman Service
You can only refer your complaint to the FOS if:
- You have received a 'final response' letter from Vanquis and you are not happy with the decision.
or - Vanquis has not provided you with a 'final response' within 8 weeks of your acknowledgement letter.
