Complaints process

How do I contact you?
If any issues arise in the course of your dealings with us, let us know as quickly as possible. Most problems can be resolved quickly by a Customer Consultant, so we advise that you get in touch as soon as you realise there is an issue.

What if I'm still not satisfied?
If our Customer Consultants can’t resolve your concerns, the matter will be referred to the Complaints team. If our complaints team haven't already resolved your issue, Cabot will contact you either by telephone or in writing to let you know that we’ve received your complaint. If you have any documentation that could help us with our enquiries, please forward this as soon as possible so that we can resolve your complaint more quickly. 

How long will it take? 
Regulatory requirements mean we have eight weeks in which to resolve your complaint, however, we aim to conclude our investigation and send out a final response by week four. If we’re unable to do so (if we are awaiting information, for example), we will keep you updated with our progress throughout. In any case, our final response will be issued by week 8.

 

For further information, please download our 'Resolving your complaint' leaflet.

 

Resolution

For all queries, please contact us using our web contact form, or live chat with us for an instant response from one of our Customer Consultants. 

If you wish to send us any documents relating to your account, you can email us on cabotwebcustomer@cabotfinancial.com 

We appreciate that in some circumstances, you may not be happy with our final response. If this is the case, let us know and we will investigate further to resolve any additional concerns you may have. It’s often easier to discuss things over the phone as we can often resolve the situation quicker.

Our Customer Complaint Handlers are available on 0345 849 8891 from 08.00 - 17.00 (Monday to Friday).* Or you can email: complaints@cabotfinancial.com.

*Calls to our 03 numbers are charged at local rate from landlines and mobiles.

  • Your full name
  • Date of birth
  • Full address including postcode 
  • Reference number
