If we are unable to resolve your complaint within three business days following the day on which it is received we will send you an acknowledgement letter. If by 4 weeks after your complaint is received we are unable to provide a final response, we will inform you and indicate when we expect to be in a position to send our final response. The majority of complaints will be quickly and satisfactorily resolved by this stage, however, if the matter is more complex and involves a third party, it may take longer to resolve. In our final response letter we will set out our final view on the issues raised in your complaint and tell you whether we:

• accept your complaint and – where appropriate – are offering redress
• are offering redress without accepting your complaint or reject your complaint.

If we reject your complaint, our final response letter will explain why we have reached this decision. If by 8 weeks after your complaint is received we are still unable to provide a final response we will write and tell you how much longer we believe it will take before a final response can be sent. At this point, if your agreement is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act or your complaint relates to an insurance product linked to your account, you will be entitled to refer your complaint to The Financial Ombudsman’s Service (FOS) who provide a dispute resolution service.

We will provide a full response as soon as possible but no later than 8 weeks from the receipt of your complaint. If we don’t resolve your complaint within 8 weeks we will write to you with an update and let you know how to take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman should you wish to do so. If you have any questions about your complaint, you can contact our Kia Finance Contract Hire customer services team on:

Tel: 0800 0749 755 Option 4
Opening hours: Mon – Friday 0900 – 1730

Our final response letter will tell you that if you remain dissatisfied with our response you may refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service within six months of the date of our final response.

Yes, you can. If you employ a solicitor, claims management company or third party – e.g. a financial advisor – to handle your complaint, we’ll investigate your complaint in the same way as we would if we were dealing with you directly. Please be aware that

• We don’t charge to investigate your complaint
• We’re not liable for any fees you need to pay for a third party’s services
• If we agree with your complaint and we make a redress payment, we’ll generally only make this payment directly to you.

If you’re not happy with our final decision about your complaint, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The FOS acts as an independent and impartial organisation which helps settle disputes between consumers and financial services businesses. For the FOS to look into your complaint you must have tried to resolve it with us first or it must have been over 8 weeks since you first raised your complaint.

How to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service
Phone: 0800 023 4567 – Calls to this number are normally free for people ringing from a fixed line phone but charges may apply if you call from a mobile phone.
or 0300 123 9123
