Receiving complaints

You can lodge complaints by contacting the Real Flow Finance Complaints Officer by:

  • telephoning 1800 00 3569
  • e-mailing info@realflowfinance.com.au
  • writing to PO Box 33, Seaforth NSW 2092

or by speaking to any representative of Real Flow Finance who will refer you to the Complaints Officer.

You should explain the details of your complaint as clearly as you can.  You may do this verbally or in writing.

When we receive a complaint, we will attempt to resolve it promptly.  We hope that in this way we will stop any unnecessary and inappropriate escalation of minor complaints.

We will observe the following principles in handling your complaint:

  1. there is no requirement for face-to-face contact between you and us, although it may be useful for us to come to a satisfactory resolution;
  2. we expect that both parties will make a genuine attempt to resolve a complaint promptly;
  3. we expect that both parties will provide all essential and relevant information, documents, written statements and any other materials that may properly and reasonably be believed to assist in resolving the complaint;
  4. we expect that both parties will comply with all reasonable requests from the other party to provide information within a reasonable time frame.

Our external dispute resolution scheme

If we do not reach agreement on your complaint, you may refer the complaint to our External Dispute Resolution Scheme, Australian Finance Complaints Authority (AFCA).  You can contact AFCA on 1800 931 678 or https://www.afca.org.au/about-afca.

External dispute resolution is a free service established to provide you with an independent mechanism to resolve specific complaints.
