Removals Camden Complaints Procedure

Removals Camden is committed to providing a reliable and professional removals service for customers moving home or business premises. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. When this happens, we want to know about it so that we can put matters right and improve our service. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect at each stage.

Our Commitment To You

We aim to handle every complaint promptly, fairly, and consistently. We will listen carefully to your concerns, keep you informed throughout the process, and seek a resolution that is reasonable in light of the circumstances and the services we provided. We use the outcome of complaints to review our training, processes, and communication, with the goal of preventing similar issues on future moves.

What Is A Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our removals or related services, whether justified or not, where a response or resolution is expected or required. This may include concerns about punctuality, handling of belongings, conduct of staff, move planning, charges and quotations, or after-move support.

Who Can Make A Complaint

This procedure is available to any customer who has used, or has a confirmed booking for, our removals or associated services. Complaints can also be raised on behalf of a customer, provided that the person acting has the customer’s clear consent to do so.

How To Make A Complaint

You can make a complaint in writing or by speaking to us. So that we can deal with your concern efficiently, please provide the following information when making a complaint:

Your full name and, where applicable, the name of the person who made the booking. The address you moved from and to, or the site where the service was provided. The date of your move or the date the issue occurred. A clear description of what went wrong or what you are unhappy about. Details of any loss or damage, including photographs where available. What you would consider a reasonable outcome or resolution.

Submitting your complaint in writing helps ensure we have an accurate record of the details, but we will accept complaints raised verbally as well.

Time Limits For Raising A Complaint

We ask that you raise your complaint as soon as reasonably possible so that we can investigate effectively. For issues involving alleged loss or damage to goods, we may specify particular timeframes in our terms and conditions. We encourage you to review those timeframes and to contact us promptly if you have any concerns.

Stage One: Initial Review And Response

In the first instance, your complaint will normally be reviewed by the person responsible for managing your booking or by a member of our customer service team. We will acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable period of time from receiving it. During this stage, we may contact you to clarify details, request further information, or obtain photographs or other evidence relevant to your concerns.

We will then investigate the matter, which may involve speaking with the removals crew, reviewing job sheets and inventory lists, examining any related documentation, and considering our terms and conditions. Once this initial review is complete, we will provide you with a response setting out our findings, any proposed resolution, and the reasons for our decision.

Stage Two: Further Investigation

If you are not satisfied with the outcome at Stage One, you can ask for your complaint to be escalated. At this stage, a more senior member of our team, who was not directly involved in the original service or Stage One review, will examine your complaint. They will review all available information, including your original complaint, our initial findings, and any additional evidence you wish to provide.

We may contact you again during this stage to discuss the matter in more detail. After completing the further investigation, we will send you a written decision that explains our final position on your complaint and any offer of resolution.

Possible Outcomes And Remedies

Depending on the nature of your complaint and the outcome of our investigation, we may offer one or more of the following remedies where appropriate and in line with our contractual obligations and terms:

An apology and explanation of what went wrong. Practical steps to complete any work or service that remains outstanding. A partial or full refund of specific charges, where justified. Compensation for proven loss or damage, calculated according to our terms and conditions and any applicable insurance or cover level selected at the time of booking. Improvements to our procedures, staff training, or communication methods to reduce the likelihood of similar problems occurring in future.

Any financial settlement will always reflect the evidence available, the coverage chosen for your move, and the limits and exclusions set out in our terms and conditions.

Information We May Require

To assess your complaint properly, we may ask you for supporting documentation. This could include signed job sheets or inventories, photographs of alleged damage, receipts or valuations for specific items, correspondence relating to bookings or quotations, and any other relevant information. Providing these details promptly will help us reach a fair and timely decision.

Confidentiality And Data Protection

All complaints are treated in confidence. Information you provide is only shared with team members who need it to investigate or respond to your concern, or where we are required to share it by law. We will handle your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and our internal data handling practices.

Using This Procedure

This complaints procedure is designed to be straightforward and accessible for customers using Removals Camden services. It does not affect any statutory rights you may have. By following the steps outlined above, we aim to give you a clear route to raise issues and obtain a considered response, helping us maintain and improve the quality of our removals services in and around our operating area.
