We want to give you the best possible service, but sometimes we get things wrong. If that happens, we want to know about it, put it right, and learn from it. If you make a complaint to us, we will deal with it fairly, sensitively, and positively. Below, we explain the Lowell complaints process including the steps we will take when handling your complaint and what to expect from us.
Calling us is the quickest way to make a complaint and we’ll always try to resolve your concerns there and then. Alternatively, you can use the form on the complaints page or write to our Customer Relations team at Lowell Financial Ltd, PO Box 13079, Harlow, CM20 7TE and we’ll look into it.
If your complaint is about a debt that you don’t believe belongs to you, please contact us before you complete a Lowell Financial complaints form.
We'll record your complaint and do everything we can to resolve it quickly. If we can resolve your complaint within 3 business days following the day we received it, we’ll send you confirmation of this and we’ll also let you know about the Ombudsman Services at this time.
For more complex issues, we may need more time to investigate your concerns. If this is the case, we'll send you an acknowledgement letter outlining the next steps and when you can expect to hear from us. You can also track the progress of your complaint on our digital portal. Once we've completed a thorough investigation, we'll provide you with a final response. This will outline the details of our investigation, how we reached our decision, and what we’re going to do to put things right. It may also provide information about the Ombudsman Service, if you're not satisfied.

Contact us using our complaints form.
If we have contacted you about a debt and you don't think it belongs to you, please contact us before completing a complaints form.
To help us deal with your complaint as quickly as possible, when you contact us we will ask you for the account details, what you're not happy about, what you want us to look into, what you want us to do to fix things, how you want us to contact you.
In the unlikely event of us not being able to provide you with our final response within 56 days, we’ll write to you with a progress update and include details of which Ombudsmen you have a right to complain to and how to do this. Our final response to you will clearly explain our investigation of your complaint, our decision, and any remedial action suitable to your individual circumstances.
If you remain dissatisfied with our decision, you have six months from the date of our final response to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Your feedback is important to us as it gives us an opportunity to improve. If you’d like to know more about the complaints we receive, you can find out more by visiting our complaints data page.

The Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) can put you in touch with the right body to help you resolve your complaint. You have the right to refer any complaint to them for products and services bought online (or by other electronic means) under EU regulation from 15 February 2016.
As we’re a UK financial services business, the ODR will still refer you to the Financial Ombudsman Service as the alternative dispute resolution body. The Financial Ombudsman Service will refer you back to our complaints process unless you’ve already been through this. So, you might prefer to go straight to the Financial Ombudsman Service after you’ve been through our complaints process. If you decide to use the ODR platform, when you complete the form online please include the email address complaintsresolution@lowellgroup.co.uk as our contact point.
If you want us to speak to someone else about your complaint, we need you to give us a clear instruction to do this – like a letter telling us their details and that you agree that we can speak to them about your account.
If there is anything else you need us to do so you can use this service, please let us know and we will do our best to help.
