Compliments And Concerns

At Acceptance Finance, we always work hard to build strong and lasting relationships with our valued customers. By listening to your feedback, not only can we address any immediate concerns you may have, we will also continually improve our products and services.

We know there are times when you may wish to compliment us on something we have done well and other times when you may wish to tell us we have not met your expectations.

Compliments

Our representatives are always delighted to know that they have succeeded in making your experience a pleasant and successful one.

If one of our representatives has provided you with exceptional service in any way, please let us know using the details below, so that we can further encourage them via this feedback process.

Concerns

If, for any reason, you do not feel that you have received the highest standard of care from us, we likewise encourage you to share this with us. We have developed a process that we believe makes it easy for you to tell us of your concerns and for them to be addressed quickly and fairly.

You can lodge complaints by contacting Jonathan Cornish, the Complaints Officer, by:

  • telephoning 03 9854 3545
  • e-mailing jonathan@acceptancefinance.com.au
  • writing to Acceptance Finance, Level 3a, 379 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn, Vic 3103

or by speaking to any representative of our business who will refer you to the Complaints Officer.

You should explain the details of your complaint as clearly as you can.  You may do this verbally or in writing.

When we receive a complaint, we will attempt to resolve it promptly.

Our aim is for all customers to be treated with respect during the complaint process and we will strive to keep our customers informed of the decisions and reasons for those decisions in an appropriate time frame. We will observe the following principles in handling your complaint:

  • there is no requirement for face-to-face contact between you and us, although it may be useful for us to come to a satisfactory resolution;
  • we expect that both parties will make a genuine attempt to resolve a complaint promptly;
  • we expect that both parties will provide all essential and relevant information, documents, written statements and any other materials that may properly and reasonably be believed to assist in resolving the complaint;
  • we expect that both parties will comply with all reasonable requests from the other party to provide information within a reasonable time frame.
