Your right to complain!
Every year 247 Helps thousands of people to rent homes. However, every so often someone comes away from 247 feeling unhappy. Perhaps your viewing was late, the property was cancelled. Perhaps you felt that you were not treated with respect or courtesy. Perhaps our service was not of a high standard.
Unfortunately, these things happen. We know we are not perfect. But we aim to be. That is why we have a complaints procedure. Sometimes we can put things right; sometimes we can only explain ourselves and apologise. But we do want to learn from our mistakes. What you tell us helps to improve our service to you.
We will treat your complaint confidentially, seriously and quickly.
What can I do?
It is important to let 247 know that you are unhappy and to give them the chance to put things right. Dont be afraid to speak to the manager or branch manager she or he might be able to sort out the problem straight away. Otherwise, move to the more formal process.
If you are not a client, ask a 247 manager to explain the Third Party complaints procedure to you.
Making a formal complaint
There are several ways to make a complaint. You can put the information in a letter and send it to the branch that you are complaining about or drop it into the branch. Complaints can be addressed to the 247 manager. You cannot tell 247 on the phone or face-to-face that you want them to investigate your complaint as all complaints must be done in writing only.
If you prefer, you can ask the local branch to refer your complaint to the Doncaster head office. You can complain via Head Office by calling our complaints line 0800 68 00 247 and asking for the complaints manager. Or you can email your complaint to
[email protected]. We at 247 will assess who is the best person to handle your complaint and ask them to deal with it.
Your complaint will be investigated by the local branch manager under the direction of the head office in Doncaster, or by the Directors if you are complaining about the manager. If it is upheld, you will get a full apology and, where appropriate, be given details of any action that 247 is taking to put things right. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can ask for a further review.
