At Locksley Law Solicitors, we are committed to providing a professional, efficient, and courteous service to all our clients. If you feel that we have not met these standards or have any concerns about the service you have received, we encourage you to let us know so we can address and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
In the first instance, please contact the individual handling your case to discuss your concerns. We will do our very best to resolve any issues informally. If you are not satisfied with the response or resolution offered, you are entitled to make a formal complaint. Please review our full complaints procedure before proceeding with a formal complaint. Rest assured, making a complaint will not affect the way we handle your case.
If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you have the right to escalate your concerns. The Legal Ombudsman can review your complaint independently. Please note that before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will first confirm that you have attempted to resolve your complaint directly with us.
To refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, please ensure that:

If your concerns relate to issues such as dishonesty, mismanagement of funds, or unfair treatment, you may also wish to raise your concerns with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Their website provides guidance on how you can submit your concerns.
If you are dissatisfied with the service provided by the person handling your case, please contact that individual directly to discuss your concerns. If you are not satisfied with their response, you may then refer your complaint to their supervising partner or manager. The name and contact details of the supervising partner or manager are provided in your initial correspondence. Alternatively, you may contact our office on 03301271950 to obtain this information.
Once your complaint has been received, the supervising partner or manager will review your concerns and carry out an investigation. We aim to provide a proposed solution within ten business days. If your complaint is complex and additional time is required, we will contact you within ten business days to advise on the expected timescale for a full response.
If you remain dissatisfied after the supervising partner or manager’s investigation, you may escalate your complaint to the Managing Director.

Disclaimers
Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and the terms of your agreement. While commissions are not unlawful per se, unusually high or unexplained commissions may be unfair. Any figures shown are for illustrative purposes only. FCA timelines and scheme rules may change. This page provides general information and does not constitute legal advice.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has indicated that consumers making a car finance complaint may receive on average £700 in compensation or less, although actual outcomes vary depending on individual circumstances. You can read more directly on the FCA website here.
Other issues such as balloon payments, affordability concerns or hidden charges are not included in the FCA’s redress scheme. In some cases, these types of complaints may not succeed. In very limited situations, other legal routes might be available, but these are uncommon and success is uncertain.
You do not need to use a claims management company or solicitors to pursue a complaint regarding motor finance commission arrangements. Consumers are entitled to submit complaints directly to their lender and, if necessary, to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), free of charge.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is currently consulting on a potential redress scheme for certain motor finance commission complaints. During this consultation period, lenders have been granted an extension and are not required to issue final responses to eligible complaints until 4 December 2025. This temporary pause does not prevent consumers from submitting complaints during this time.
If you wish to raise a concern about our service or conduct, you can contact the SRA at sra.org.uk.
