We welcome comments from our customers on any of our services. Please tell us if you think we could offer new services, or improve existing ones

We aim to exceed our customers' expectations, so please let us know if you are pleased with the services we provide!

Complaints

We recognise that we will not always get things right. When we make mistakes, our aim is always to put them right straight away. If we don't, and you are still dissatisfied, we will investigate and provide you with an explanation.

What to do…


Letting us know

If you are unhappy with the service you have received, contact our Customer Service Centre. We can usually sort the problem out there and then.

Making a formal complaint

If you are not satisfied with our response, you should contact us and ask to make a formal complaint. The Complaints Administrator will acknowledge your complaint and the Departmental Manager will be asked to investigate.

You can register a complaint by completing a contact us form or by writing to us at the address below. We don't insist that you put it in writing; you can also make a complaint over the phone or by e-mail.

Asking for a review

If you are not satisfied with the Departmental Manager's response, you may request that your complaint is reviewed by one of Leeds Federated's Directors.

If you still disagree with the way we have dealt with your complaint, you have the right to take your case to the Appeals Panel. The panel is made up of tenant representatives, members of the Board and a Director who has not previously been involved in the case.

How will we respond?

Whatever stage your query is at, Leeds Federated will contact you in writing within 2 working days to let you know how we are handling your complaint. Within 10 working days, we will give you a full written response. If we can't keep to this deadline, we will always contact you in writing to let you know when we will provide a full response.

Beyond Leeds Federated

Occasionally we are not able to resolve complaints within our procedure. If you have followed our complaints process through and you are not happy with the outcome of the Appeal, you may ask the Independent Housing Ombudsman Service to investigate.

The Housing Ombudsman Service provides a completely independent service. They will investigate complaints which we have not been able to resolve to a customer's satisfaction through our formal complaints procedure and decide what should be done. Leeds Federated is obliged to implement their decisions.
