Complaints policy
Should you have a complaint, please make a member of our staff aware. This complaint will be logged onto
our database system and dealt with as quickly as possible. Our Compliance Officer will write to you to confirm
the complaint and give you a unique reference and look to offer a solution.
Treating customers fairly
We will clearly outline to you, the repayment amount, and repayment frequency of your lease or loan. In addition, the finance companies we work with normally charge a documentation fee of up to £150.00+VAT. Some of the finance companies also make a yearly administration fee of up to £60.00+VAT.
If the agreement is a lease rental, there may be a charge at the end of the agreement should you wish a third party to take ownership in the equipment subject to the lease. We are more than happy to state this amount now or prior to any credit approval. Alternatively, at the end of a lease agreement, you can return the equipment.
WestWon Limited will aim to get the best rates from the finance companies we work with and earn a commission that is reasonable within our business sector.
