You may also complain verbally on the telephone by contacting our call centre – we prefer complaints received in writing so that we can investigate all points made and provide comprehensive answers.

So that we can handle your complaint efficiently please include the following information:

• Your full name and address

• The TRACE Enforcement Group reference number
• The time and date the incident occurred
• The details of your complaint
• Any other relevant information

Once you submit your complaint, we will acknowledge it, in writing, within 3 working days.

Your complaint will be handled by our Complaints Handler. A record will be made of your complaint we will ask for all relevant information pertaining your case, which could include a report from the High Court Enforcement Agent, Recovery Agent or any other member of staff concerned. Once all relevant reports are received our Complaint handler will decide whether your complaint appears to be justified. You will be told of the decision and receive a full response, by post, within 10 days of receipt of your complaint.

If we need more information from you, we will contact you. Please note that making a complaint will not always stop enforcement action or have any effect on your liability for the debt or fees which may have been incurred.

If you are unhappy with your response, you may escalate your complaint to our Compliance Manager, who will review all of the evidence, inclusive of the response from our Complaints Handling Team. You will be provided with a written response within 10 days.
