Internal Dispute Resolution 

National Lending Group Pty Lt (NLG) is committed to the efficient and fair resolution of all client complaints as and when they are received. This level of fairness in treatments applies to all involved in any complaints or dispute process.

NLG has two types of dispute resolution processes for clients:

• Internal Disputes Resolution; and

• External Disputes Resolution.

  Internal Disputes Resolution Scheme

  It is important that NLG and Credit Representatives provide documentation of all actions taken during the complaints handling process. Our internal complaints handling system is easy to understand and in plain English. NLG will make every effort to ensure that the client has every opportunity to express their concern and complaint.

  If you have a concern or complaint with us you may:

  • Email us at – compliance@nlg.com.au;

  • Talk to our Complaints Manager by calling 1300 653 480;

  • Write a letter addressed to PO Box 6449, St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC 8008;

  • Talk to your NLG Credit Representative;

  • Upon receipt of a concern or complaint we will discuss the issue with you and undertake any

    necessary investigation to resolve the issue;

  • All client complaints must be responded to within 5 days of receipt of the initial complaint.

  • Unless unforeseeable circumstances arise, all client complaints are to be resolved within 6 weeks of receipt;

  • If after this 6 week period the complaint remains unresolved, you will be informed in writing that your complaint cannot be resolved and we will inform you of your right to continue through an External Complaints Resolution Scheme of which NLG is a member.
