If somethinggoes wrong.
Tell Ultra Vita. Most things are quicker to put right directly, and a complaint is taken seriously whether or not it turns out to be Ultra Vita's to fix. Where a complaint concerns regulated finance, it follows DSG's procedure, and this page explains how to reach it.
Start by telling us
Telephone or email — the details are on the contact page — or write to Ultra Vita at the correspondence address below. Say what happened, when, and what you would like done about it. If you have a reference, an email or paperwork, send it; it saves time.
Riccardo Leighton trading as Ultra Vita, Edward House, Great North Road, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1DP.
What happens next
Ultra Vita will acknowledge your complaint, look into it, and come back to you with what it has found and what it proposes to do.
A complaint that is not about finance is looked into by Riccardo Leighton personally, and he will respond to you within one week.
If your complaint is about a regulated finance activity, Ultra Vita will tell you and pass it to DSG Financial Services Ltd, whose procedure applies to it. If it is about a vehicle, a dealer or a sourcing service, Ultra Vita handles it directly — and will tell you honestly where responsibility lies if it rests with a third party.
Complaints about finance
Ultra Vita is a credit broker, not a lender, and acts in relation to DSG Financial Services Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. A complaint about a regulated finance activity is handled under DSG's complaints procedure.
DSG publishes that procedure in full, including how to contact them and the timescales that apply. It is linked below, and it is the authoritative version — the summary on this page does not replace it.

The Financial Ombudsman Service
If your complaint concerns a regulated finance activity and you are not satisfied with the final response, or you have not received one within the time the rules allow, you may be able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The service is free to you and independent of both Ultra Vita and DSG.
There are time limits for referring a complaint to the ombudsman. The final response you receive will set them out, and the ombudsman's own website explains who can use the service and how.
The Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Conduct Authority are different bodies with different jobs: the FCA regulates firms, the ombudsman resolves individual disputes. Both are linked below so neither is mistaken for the other.

Complaints about your information
A complaint about how Ultra Vita has handled your personal information goes to Ultra Vita first, and then if you remain unhappy to the Information Commissioner's Office. The privacy policy explains that route.
