Finance Complaints Process
At H2O Bathroom Solutions Ltd, we want every part of your experience with us to be straightforward and positive. We work hard to make sure that any finance options we introduce are clear, fair, and suitable for your needs and circumstances. But if you feel something hasn’t gone quite right, we want to hear about it.
Whether it's about the way we introduced you to a lender, the information you received, or anything you feel was unclear or misleading, your feedback helps us improve and, most importantly, put things right.

- Make it easy for you to get in touch

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE A COMPLAINT?
We aim to resolve all finance-related complaints as quickly and fairly as possible. Here’s what you can expect once we’ve received your complaint:
If We Can Resolve It Within 3 Business Days
- If your complaint is resolved to your satisfaction within three business days, we’ll send you a Summary Resolution Communication.
- This letter will confirm the outcome and inform you of your right to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if you remain dissatisfied.
If We Need More Time
- We’ll send a written acknowledgement within 5 business days, along with a copy of this complaints procedure.
- We’ll keep in touch and let you know when you can expect our next update.
If It’s Not Resolved Within 4 Weeks
- We’ll send you a progress update (known as a "holding letter"), explaining why the complaint is still ongoing and confirming that we’re actively working on it.
If It’s Still Unresolved After 8 Weeks
- We’ll write to explain why there’s still no final decision.
- We’ll also tell you that you now have the right to escalate your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
IF SOMEONE ELSE IS INVOLVED
Sometimes we may have to pass your complaint to another business if they are:
- Solely responsible – e.g., the lender or finance provider. In this case, we’ll forward your complaint to them within 5 business days and let you know we’ve done so.
- Jointly responsible – we’ll work with the other party to handle our part, and let you know how your concerns are being addressed.
STILL UNHAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME?
If we’ve sent our final response and you’re still not satisfied, or if it’s been 8 weeks and your complaint remains unresolved, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
This is a free, independent service for customers who want to escalate complaints about financial products or services.
You must contact the Financial Ombudsman within six months of the date on our final response letter.
