Frequently Asked Questions

Will making a complaint affect my service? +
Absolutely not. Making a complaint will never affect the quality of service you receive from LOYALS. We treat all complaints seriously and professionally, and you'll continue to receive the same high standard of service throughout and after the complaints process. Your feedback helps us improve.
Is my complaint kept confidential? +
Yes. All complaints are handled with strict confidentiality. Information is only shared with those directly involved in investigating and resolving your complaint. We comply fully with GDPR and data protection regulations.
Will I be charged for the time spent handling my complaint? +
No. We will never charge you for time spent investigating and responding to a complaint. This is part of our commitment to professional service and continuous improvement.
Can I complain about fees? +
Yes, you can raise concerns about our fees through this complaints procedure. However, please note that ICAEW (our regulatory body) does not intervene in fee disputes. If we cannot resolve a fee dispute directly with you, we can discuss alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation.
What if my complaint is about the person who usually handles my account? +
Your complaint will be handled by a senior member of our team who has not been directly involved in the matter. This ensures an impartial, objective investigation. If your complaint involves Kris Nick (Director), it will be handled by another senior partner or external mediator to maintain independence.
How far back can I complain about an issue? +
We recommend raising complaints as soon as possible after the issue occurs. However, we will consider complaints about events that happened some time ago, particularly if you have a reasonable explanation for the delay. The sooner you raise a concern, the easier it is for us to investigate thoroughly.
Can someone else complain on my behalf? +
Yes, we can accept complaints from your representative with your written consent. This ensures we can discuss details with them while protecting your confidentiality. Please include authorization in your initial complaint or send it separately.
What if I need to make a complaint in a different format? +
We're committed to making our complaints procedure accessible to everyone. If you require assistance, have accessibility needs, or would prefer to submit your complaint in a different format, please contact us on 07450 258975 and we'll make appropriate arrangements.
