If you have felt the need to find this page then we are genuinely sorry. We believe in treating our clients as we would wish to be treated, so we are really disappointed if we have not managed to achieve this.
We pride ourselves on not receiving complaints, but if we can try and give a positive spin, research shows that customers whose complaints are handled quickly often turn into loyal customers and even brand advocates.
Please let us know why you are not happy and we will do everything we can to resolve matters.

2. What happens next?
2.1 We will contact you within 3 working days to let you know we are considering your complaint and clarify any points where necessary. If we can resolve your complaint within 3 working days, we will send you a Summary Resolution Communication. This is a written confirmation, which confirms that you made a complaint and that we now consider the matter resolved.
2.2 If you subsequently decide that you are dissatisfied with the resolution of the complaint, you may be able to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, the NACFB or the ICO, dependent upon the circumstances surrounding the case.
2.3 We will indicate within the communication whether we consent to waive the relevant time limits as set out in the FCA handbook (Dispute Resolution) if this is applicable.
2.4 We will keep you regularly updated about what’s happening and discuss our findings. We will consider all the available evidence, the circumstances, relevant laws or regulation, as well as guidance from the Financial Ombudsman Service where applicable. When we have investigated your complaint, we will write to you to let you know our final response. This detailed letter will tell you what we have found, what we plan to do and how we came to our decision. If it is going to take us more than eight weeks to resolve your complaint, from when you first contacted us, we will update you on our progress and explain why it is still ongoing.

We have published this message as the payment that has been collected from you has nothing to do with our company. We are an asset finance company in Hampshire, we do not collect direct debits from any customers and only deal with businesses.
We receive many calls about this, as we have a similar name to the company that is collecting these direct debits. The company responsible is Focus Finance and Marketing Limited. Their website is below, however they do not answer their phone or respond:
https://www.focusfinance.co.uk/
Our understanding is that bank details are being obtained from people unknowingly, or on the pretence of providing a loan, and this is a fraudulent company.
We would therefore request you contact your bank to report this and ask them to escalate to their fraud team and stop further payments from being taken.
Please also report Focus Finance & Marketing Limited to:
ActionFraud
Financial Conduct Authority
Information Commissioners Office
We are now at a point where this is impacting our business, so we are also doing everything we can to get them shut down so your help would be appreciated.
Please feel free to copy the above message to provide to your bank.
