Complaints Procedure

Useful Links

Making a complaint

We work hard to ensure our Members act within the rules set by the industry regulators.

Please click on the following link and read our Code of Practice. If you think a Member has broken the rules of this Code you can make a complaint by downloading our Complaints Form.

Before making a complaint we would encourage you to carry out the following activities:

 

  • Go to the Members Directory and check whether the company you wish to complain about is a Member of the CSA. If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us. If the company is a Member of the CSA then we are able to help you with your complaint.
  • On first instance, we recommend you contact the Member company to discuss any issues you have and enquire about their complaints process. If you are still dissatisfied with the outcome then you can review our Complaints Procedure.
  • If you believe that the Member has acted in breach of our Code of Practice and the complaint meets the necessary criteria, please complete, sign and return the Complaint Form to our registered address.

CSA Complaints Procedure

 How we deal with your complaint.

All complaints must be submitted in writing, with a signed complaint form. We require the form to be signed so that we, and our Member, have the requisite authorisation to share information.

The following is the sequence of events after the CSA receive a complaint form;

  • CSA receive a signed complaint form
  • CSA register the complaint and send a copy to the relevant Member company
  • The Member is given four weeks to respond directly to the complainant
  • CSA get a copy of the response from the Member company
  • CSA considers both positions and determines whether the Code of Practice has been breached
  • Appropriate action is taken (if required) to remedy the situation
  • If further information is required the CSA contact the relevant party (the complainant or the Member company).
  • After a full review, the CSA provides a formal response to the complainant

 

If you remain unhappy with the outcome of the complaint, you may have justification to escalate the matter to our our head of compliance, Claire Aynsley, claire.aynsley@csa-uk.com.

 

Please note: The CSA can only intervene when;

  • a Member company is in breach of the Code.
  • the company is a Member of the CSA (we cannot act when the complaint is about the client of a Member company, a bank or building society for example).
  • the information supplied by a Member company appears from the facts to be incorrect.

Methods of Contact

You can send a scanned (and signed) copy of your complaint to us by e-mail to complaints@csa-uk.com or daniel.spenceley@csa-uk.com, or in the post;

Why the CSA need a signed copy of your complaint

The CSA ask that complaints be submitted in writing because we require the complainant’s signed authority for information to be shared. Unfortunately, if we do not have the requisite authority to share information, this will prevent us from sharing details of the complaint with our member and will prevent our member sharing information with us about their investigation. To do so without a signed complaint form would likely find us and/or the member company in breach of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Student testimonials

"I am a massive advocate of the level 2 programme. It  provides  people  with  an  industry  specific  qualification and trains them in every operational  area of our business. It has been a great success  from a people point of view with the added  commercial benefits as well."

- Chris Shaw, member company L&D Manager

 
"I would recommend CSA courses to anyone that is motivated and focused to succeed within the industry, as I feel it provides a good platform to excel with the expert knowledge that is provided."
- CSA Level 3 Diploma student

 

"We have found the CSA Level 3 qualification to be of benefit on many levels. It gives our Organisation credibility with  our clients, regulator and external parties  looking to partner with us. It gives our team  members increased knowledge which builds  confidence and credibility."

- Chris Nowland, member company L&D Manager

 

"The L5 Diploma in Compliance Risk Management has been both challenging and enjoyable in equal measure.

As a significant part of our industry faces one of its biggest regulatory changes in recent history,  this course has helped provide a theoretical and practical understanding of our ongoing compliance obligations.  It has also given a wider perspective in relation to both the political and economic environment within which we operate.

The course has provided significant professional development and the increased knowledge is being put to good use within our business."

- Sarah Kemp, CSA Level 5 Diploma student

 

"I can confirm that the Diploma has benefitted me by providing me with a better understanding of Compliance in line with regulatory requirements and how it is relevant to the debt recovery industry.   

Although this course was the pilot for the Diploma 5, the CSA has taken all feedback on board, offered support via one-to-one assistance, provided in-depth study material and helpful guides and encouraged communication between the students via study workshops, group discussions via LinkedIn and the CSA e-Learning Academy.  

I believe this course has benefitted both me and the business and along the way I have made some great contacts and friends which assists in continuing to share best practices."

- Susan Bain, CSA Level 5 Diploma student

 

"Our group was well supported by the professionals from the CSA along with the experienced tutors whom made learning fun, and who were very approachable, supportive and knowledgeable. The monthly sessions were relevant and structured.

Additional support groups on LinkedIn and the CSA e-Learning Academy helped our group to keep in touch and support one another."

- Lesley Wilson, CSA Level 5 Diploma student

 

“We have incorporated the CAI examination within our Annual Regulatory Training Programme; it comes at the end of the year’s curriculum and consolidates all the learning from the year. It has proven to be an excellent benchmark process to allow us to measure the effectiveness of our internal courses as well as providing an industry recognised certification for our staff."

- Alan MacDonald, member company Head of People and Culture

 

"By having staff members participate in the CAI this allows us, as an organisation, to measure through an external provider - the CSA - the quality of our internal training whilst also providing staff with an online external test of their knowledge and competency."

- Jonathan Lewis, member company Director of Debt Collection Services

CSA Compliance Essentials will enable firms to embed a compliance culture - suitable for front and back office, customer and client-facing staff.

Users receive monthly compliance updates direct to their inbox featuring news and guidance tailored for those working within the credit and collections industry.
