further investigations

be looking into your complaint.

time, we will contact you and provide you with an update of the current situation.

write to you with a final response.


WHAT IF THE VEHICLE PURCHASED IS ON FINANCE?
How does this Affect Us?
If the complaint is not for Fox 4×4 Specialist Limited the Complaint Handler will
ensure it is passed to the correct business immediately, by use of the quickest
method.
But also, at any point the customer is entitled to contact the finance company
themselves or if you are unhappy with our decision and wish to take your complaint
further, you can contact the finance company as we operate with a panel of lenders you
can find the finance companies contact details on your contracts/policies or we can
supply the appropriate contact number on demand.

If you are unhappy with our decision and wish to take your complaint further, you can
contact the finance company you have your contracts/policies with and you can also ask
the Financial Ombudsman Service to investigate your complaint for you.
The Financial Ombudsman is a free, independent service for resolving disputes between
customers and financial services institutions. You will need to contact them within 6
months of our final response letter – and they will ask to see the letter as summary of
our investigation of your complaint.
