Complaints Procedure
We're proud of our reputation for building excellent working relationships with our clients, so it's very rare that we need to follow this procedure. However, we believe it's important for your peace of mind that a clear procedure is in place for the rare occasions when it is needed.
Our intention would always be to resolve any issues quickly at the point of initial concern. However, we understand that there may be instances of dispute that require escalation, in which case the following procedure is implemented:
In the event of an unresolved service or quality issue with the company, Julian Pearson (Director) will serve as the person for conflict resolution. All details are recorded and filed. We will adopt the following steps in conflict resolution:
Discovery
- Identify the problem;
- Get the perspective of all parties involved (client, finance company, salesperson or other involved third parties).
Evaluation
- Identify options that will satisfy the client's need;
- Determine most appropriate and fair option.
Action
- Implement resolution;
- Notify all parties of action taken;
- Identify steps to ensure that this conflict will not recur;
- Implement action steps.
Review
- Review action steps taken to resolve conflict with client;
- Review with client to determine client satisfaction with outcome;
- Encourage communication to ensure that channels are open for further feedback on process action steps and outcome.
For specific complaints our recommended protocol is as follows:
- Client will notify the salesperson with whom they have been arranging a new car that there is a concern.
- The Next Vehicles salesman will notify Julian Pearson (Director) of the concern and the matter will be researched.
- Julian Pearson will contact the client directly within one business day. Julian Pearson will then either provide the client with resolution at that time or explain why more time is needed to identify the best possible solution. All complaints will be handled and responded to within 8 weeks.
- If the client is not satisfied with the proposed resolution, Julian Pearson will provide full details of the Financial Ombudsman Services as detailed below and the BVRLA as detailed below.
