Complaints Procedure

All our consumer hires are protected by the consumer credit act 1974. Hire Fitness operates through a franchise system and each franchise (which is a single legal entity) separately holds a consumer credit licence. The details and address of each franchise is on the home page of their section of our web site. If you have any complaints we ask you to please follow our complaints procedure.

What we will need from you

To help us investigate and resolve any issues or concerns that you may have please provide the following information:

  • Your full name, address, and a daytime telephone number
  • Full details of your concern

How long will it take?

We will always try to resolve your concerns immediately. However, if we are not able to resolve your complaint within five working days we will write to you to tell you:

  • Who is dealing with your complaint
  • When we will contact you again

We will contact you regularly until your complaint has been resolved. If your complaint is particularly complex, it may take longer to resolve. If a resolution has not been reached by the end of eight weeks we will:

  • Refer your complaint to the Hire Fitness Company Secretary for investigation who will send you the Hire Fitness ‘Final Response’ Letter. This will explain our final position.
    At this stage, you will also receive a leaflet explaining your referral rights to the Financial Ombudsman Service. For more information please refer to www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

If you are not satisfied

If you feel that we have not resolved the situation to your satisfaction, please contact the person or department that handled your concerns. Together, you can then agree on what to do next. If you are still dissatisfied, you can request a review from the Financial Ombudsman Service.
