St. Raphael's Complaint Procedure

Complaints Procedure

At St. Raphael’s Garda Credit Union, we are committed to doing things right for you, our members. This is your credit union and while we work hard to serve you well and to meet your expectations, we accept that we don’t always get things right. We want you to let us know how we’re doing – hearing your feedback gives us the opportunity to learn and to make improvements. At all times, we will:

  • Recognise that we do not always get it right. We will apologise for any mistakes that we have caused and will do our best to resolve any issues that you may have.
  • Make it easy for you to complain and we will give you complaint the attention it deserves.
  • Attempt to resolve things as soon as possible and give you feedback to ensure you are satisfied with the action we have taken to resolve the complaint.
  • Ensure training is delivered to staff where appropriate to continually improve our services.

How Long Will It Take?

IMMEDIATELY
We aim to resolve all complaints immediately.
If you are not happy with our service, we want you to tell us so we can focus on improving things. We will listen to your complaint and make sure we understand why you are unhappy.
The staff member dealing with you will attempt to resolve your complaint immediately and agree a solution with you directly.

WITHIN 5 DAYS
If we are unable to resolve the complaint immediately, our complaints officer will write to you and acknowledge your complaint within 5 days. We will let you know how long we expect to take to resolve it.

WITHIN 20 DAYS
If our investigations take a little longer than expected, we will contact you within 20 days to keep you informed about when we expect to have it resolved. At this point, the complaint may also be passed to the complaints sub-committee for further investigation.

AFTER 20 DAYS
After 20 days, we will give you regular updates about the progress of your complaint until we have a resolution.
