Complaints

We always strive to provide a professional and efficient service, however we recognise that it is in the nature of insolvency proceedings for disputes to arise from time to time. If you should have cause to complain about the way that we are acting, you should, in the first instance, put details of your complaint in writing to either Andrew McTear or Chris Williams. We will endeavour to deal with your complaint under the supervision of a senior director unconnected with the appointment. Further contact information for the firm can be found on our website www.mw-w.com by clicking on creditor information and then other statutory and regulatory information.

Most disputes can be resolved amicably either through the provision of further information or following negotiations. However, in the event that you have exhausted our complaints procedure and you are not satisfied that your complaint has been resolved or dealt with appropriately, you may refer your complaint to The Insolvency Service, IP Complaints, 3rd Floor, 1 City Walk, Leeds, LS11 9DA.
