Complaints Procedure

Complaints Procedure for Man with Van Camden Removals

Man with Van Camden is committed to providing reliable and professional removal services for homes, flats and offices. We aim to handle every move with care, but we recognise that sometimes things can go wrong. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern, what you can expect from us, and how we will work with you to resolve any issues fairly and promptly.

Our Commitment to You

We take all complaints seriously and view them as an opportunity to review, improve and strengthen our services. When you raise a complaint with us, we will treat you with respect, listen carefully to your concerns, and do our best to put matters right. Our goal is to resolve problems as quickly as possible and to learn from them so that we continue to improve our man and van and removal operations.

What This Procedure Covers

This complaints procedure covers any concerns relating to our services, including:

Delays, cancellations or missed appointments

Damage to property or belongings during a move

Issues with loading, unloading or transportation

Concerns about the attitude or behaviour of staff

Disputes about charges, quotes or invoices

Any other aspect of our removal or man and van services that you are dissatisfied with

Raising a Complaint Informally

In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly and informally. If a problem arises during your move, we encourage you to speak to the team member in charge on the day. They may be able to address the matter immediately, explain what has happened and agree a solution with you on site.

If your concern relates to booking, scheduling or payment, you can also contact our office to discuss the issue. We will do our best to clarify any misunderstandings, correct errors and offer practical solutions where possible.

Making a Formal Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of an informal discussion, or if you prefer your concern to be handled formally from the outset, you can submit a formal complaint. Please include the following information so that we can investigate thoroughly:

Your full name and the address where the service took place

The date and time of the move or service

A clear description of what happened and why you are dissatisfied

Details of any conversations already held with our staff about the issue

Any supporting information, such as photographs of damage or copies of paperwork

Information about how you would like us to resolve the matter, if you have a preferred outcome

How We Will Handle Your Complaint

Once we receive your formal complaint, we will follow a structured process to ensure it is handled fairly and consistently.

Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable period of time. We will confirm that we have received your concerns and that an investigation is underway.

Investigation: A manager or senior member of staff will review your complaint, along with any relevant documents, job sheets or photographs. Where appropriate, we may speak to the removal team involved and any other staff who can provide information.

Clarification: If we need more details to understand the issue fully, we may contact you to ask further questions. This helps us to get a complete picture of what happened and to consider the most appropriate response.

Outcome: After the investigation is complete, we will write to you with our findings. We will explain what we have discovered, any steps we have taken to put things right, and any changes we will make to our procedures to prevent similar issues in the future.

Timeframes for Response

We aim to resolve most complaints within a reasonable period from the date we receive them. In some cases, for example where there are complex issues or where we need to obtain further information, the investigation may take longer. If we need additional time, we will let you know and keep you informed of our progress.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

The outcome of a complaint will depend on the specific circumstances. Where we have made a mistake or not met our usual standards, we will consider fair and proportionate remedies, which may include:

A clear explanation or apology

Correcting errors in documentation or billing

Providing a partial or full refund where appropriate

Offering a gesture of goodwill, depending on the situation

Reviewing staff training or procedures to reduce the risk of similar issues

All remedies are assessed on a case by case basis with the aim of being fair and reasonable.

Complaints About Damage or Loss

If your complaint relates to damage or loss of items during a removal, please inform us as soon as possible. Take clear photographs of the damage and keep any relevant packaging or materials. This information helps us to assess what has happened and whether a claim may be appropriate. We will outline any additional steps or documentation required in such cases and explain the process clearly.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint after completing our internal process, you may request that your case is reviewed by a more senior manager. They will consider the original complaint, the investigation carried out and the response provided, and will decide whether any further action is appropriate.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled confidentially. Information about your complaint will only be shared with staff who need it in order to investigate and respond. We handle any personal data in line with our data protection responsibilities and keep records of complaints securely.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review complaints and feedback to identify patterns and areas for improvement across our removal and man and van services. By monitoring what has gone wrong and how we have resolved it, we aim to reduce the likelihood of similar issues occurring in the future and to maintain a high standard of service for all customers.

Using This Procedure

This complaints procedure is intended to be clear, fair and easy to use. You will not be treated unfavourably for raising a complaint in good faith. We welcome all feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps us to maintain and improve the quality of our services for people moving home, relocating offices or using our man and van support across our service area.
