The Consumer Credit Act 1974 does not allow you to do so, therefore if you are a private individual, sole trader or partner in a partnership and your agreement is regulated by this act we cannot transfer it into somebody else’s name. If the agreement is in a limited company name, however, it falls outside the scope of the Consumer Credit Act. Provided the reason for transfer isn’t due to bankruptcy or the company being dissolved, you may be able to change it into another limited company name. Please contact our Customer Services department on 0800 085 2054* for further information. Please note that agreement transfers are subject to an Account Management fee.

We have a duty to provide a true and accurate reflection of the financial conduct of our customers and as such register all activity with credit referencing agencies. If your account falls into arrears, therefore, this information will be registered with these agencies.

If you’ve made an extra payment by direct debit an automatic refund will be made to the bank or building society account from which the payment was taken. If the overpayment has been made by some other means, such as a bank transfer, cash, cheque or standing order, a refund will be made upon receipt of proof of the payment.

Excess mileage charges can be due at the end of Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreements, but only in certain circumstances. Specifically if you choose to return the vehicle to Genesis Finance at the end of your agreement and if you have exceeded your agreed mileage limit. In such cases a pence per mile charge is applied to the number of miles by which you exceeded your limit. The pence per mile rate is set at the outset of your agreement and is clearly shown within your agreement documentation.

Yes you can. If, upon reaching the end of your Personal Contract Purchase agreement, you want to keep your vehicle but are not able to make the final balloon payment, we will, subject to eligibility, reschedule this amount for you.

You may need to confirm whether or not we hold any financial interest in your vehicle. You can find out by submitting a finance clearance request via our online service

You should firstly contact your Genesis Personal Assistant to discuss the problem. If you are unhappy with the outcome and require further assistance you can submit a ‘Satisfactory Quality Complaint‘ to Genesis Finance

If we are unable to resolve your complaint within three business days following the day on which it is received we will send you an acknowledgment letter.  If by 4 weeks after your complaint is received we are unable to provide a final response, we will inform you and indicate when we expect to be in a position to send our final response. The majority of complaints will be quickly and satisfactorily resolved by this stage, however, if the matter is more complex and involves a third party, it may take longer to resolve.  In our final response letter we will set out our final view on the issues raised in your complaint and tell you whether we:

• accept your complaint and – where appropriate – are offering redress
• are offering redress without accepting your complaint or reject your complaint.

If we reject your complaint, our final response letter will explain why we have reached this decision. If by 8 weeks after your complaint is received we are still unable to provide a final response we will issue a letter to advise you of your escalation rights.

At this point, if your agreement is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act or your complaint relates to an insurance product linked to your account, you will be entitled to refer your complaint to The Financial Ombudsman’s Service. Additionally, if you are a small to medium sized business, you may also be able to refer your complaint. If you wish to refer your complaint at this point, please contact them directly and they will be able to confirm whether they are able to help.

We will provide a full response as soon as possible but no later than 8 weeks from the receipt of your complaint. If we don’t resolve your complaint within 8 weeks we will write to you with an update and let you know how to take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman should you wish to do so. If you have any questions about your complaint, you can contact our Complaints team on 0800 085 1353*

*Calls from UK landlines and mobiles are free

Our final response letter will tell you that if you remain dissatisfied with our response you may refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service within six months of the date of our final response.

Yes, you can. If you employ a solicitor, claims management company or third party – e.g. a financial advisor – to handle your complaint, we’ll investigate your complaint in the same way as we would if we were dealing with you directly. Please be aware that:

• We don’t charge to investigate your complaint
• We’re not liable for any fees you need to pay for a third party’s services
• If we agree with your complaint and we make a redress payment, we’ll generally only make this payment directly to you.

If you’re not happy with our final decision about your complaint, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The Finanical Ombudsman Service act as an independent and impartial organisation who help settle disputes between consumers and financial services businesses. The FOS are only able to investigate your complaint if Genesis Finance have issued a final response or if your complaint has exceeded the 8 week limit from when it was first raised.
