How will Streamline handle your complaint?

At Streamline Merchant Services we place great importance on providing the highest standards of service to all our customers.

We recognise that occasionally we don't get it right. In these instances we encourage you to tell us about your concerns so that we have the opportunity to make amends.

Streamline want to:

  • Make it easy for you to raise your complaint
  • Listen to your concerns
  • Consider your suggestion for how we can put matters right
  • Make every effort to ensure you are satisfied with how your complaint is handled

If you are not satisfied with any aspect of our service or products you can tell us about your concerns in any of the following ways:

In writing:

How long will it take for Streamline to respond?

Streamline's aim is to resolve the complaint straight away with staff who have the right experience, knowledge and authority to do just that.

If we have been unable to resolve your complaint by the end of the following business day, Streamline will contact you and:

  • Acknowledge receipt of your complaint
  • Tell you who is dealing with your complaint
  • Tell you how long we expect to take to resolve it.

In the majority of cases, we will be able to resolve your complaint within 5 business days. If we have not resolved it within that time we will contact you to update you with progress and tell you how much longer we anticipate it will take to resolve.

In very exceptional circumstances, where your complaint is particularly complex, matters may take longer. We will continue to update you on a regular basis until your complaint is resolved.

The Bank is a member of the Financial Ombudsman Service. We will provide you with details of the Financial Ombudsman Service in our final response to you or within 8 weeks, if matters have become protracted.

What to do if you're not happy with our response

If you're not satisfied by our action or our explanation, you can ask for your case to be reviewed at a higher level within the Bank.

In this situation please write to:

Head of Operations, Retailer Card Services
PO Box 700
Central House
Otley Road
Harrogate
HG3 1XH

If we cannot reach agreement with you, we will send you our final response which will clearly set out the Bank's position with regard to your complaint. A leaflet will also be enclosed which will advise you how to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service should you wish to ask for a review of your case.

You will have 6 months from the date of our final response to ask them to carry out a review.
