Complaints Policy

Redbridge Radio Cars is pleased to hear from its customers when services are appreciated, but we also want to know when things go wrong. We are committed to dealing with complaints fairly and impartially and to providing a high quality service.

This policy explains the company’s complaints procedure which aims to resolve complaints as quickly as possible and to enable the company to learn and improve on service it provides.

A complaint is:

‘’An expression of dissatisfaction, however made, about the standard of service received, action or lack of action taken by the company or its staff, which affects a customer.’’

A complaint is not a request for a service. However, if we fail to respond to that request, this would give rise to a complaint.

A complaint can be made:

• By calling us directly on our 24×7 telephone line ( 0208 000 0000)
• By emailing us on info@redbridgeradiocars.com
• In writing
• In person at our Hainault office.

Stages of Complaint procedure

Stage 1

When a complaint is received it is passed on to our manager who will carry out an investigation of the complaint and provide a full response.

We aim to provide a full response to all stage 1 complaints within 7 working days but some complaints will take longer to investigate properly. In these cases, the customer must be told when they can expect a full reply.

Stages 2

Complaints that are not satisfactory resolved at Stage 1 will be escalated to Stage 2 where a Director will deal with the complaint. This will involve a review of the complaint under stage one.

When a stage 2 complaint is received, a full response should be provided within 14 working days. If the complaint takes longer to investigate, the customer must be kept informed of the progress.

DISCLAIMER

The company cannot be held responsible for losses consequential or actual arising from missed connections due to adverse weather, prevailing traffic conditions or any other events that negatively influence journey times.

 

The company and its drivers cannot be held responsible for any actual or consequential financial or professional loss, missed travel connections (flights, trains etc.) due to the late or non-arrival of any car.
