Complaints
At The Business Debt Advisor we always strive to provide a professional and efficient service. However, we recognise that it is in the nature of insolvency proceedings for disputes to arise from time to time. Should you have any comments or complaints regarding an insolvency, please contact one of the Office Holders in the first instance. If you consider that your comments or complaint have not been dealt with appropriately you should then put details of your concerns in writing to our Complaints Officer at complaints@thedebtadvisor.co.uk who will then formally invoke our complaints procedure and we will endeavour to deal with your complaint under the supervision of a partner unconnected with the appointment.
If you still feel that you have not received a satisfactory response, then you may be able to make a complaint to the Complaints Gateway operated by the Insolvency Service. Any such complaint should be completed online using the form here: Complain About IP. If you have difficulty accessing the online complaints form, you can also make your complaint through the Insolvency Service Enquiry Line
at insolvency.enquiryline@insolvency.gov.uk or telephone: 0300 678 0015.
The Complaints Gateway will in turn determine if such complaint should be addressed by the Office Holder’s regulatory body.
