The following information is designed to draw your attention to the information required to be disclosed by the Provision of Services Regulations 2009 relating to 360 Insolvency Limited (“360").
Licensing body
Danny Allen is licensed to act as an Insolvency Practitioner in the United Kingdom by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Rules governing actions
Our insolvency practitioners are bound by the rules of the ICAEW, including any that relate specifically to insolvency. The rules of the ICAEW that licences our IP can be found here.
In addition, our practitioners are bound by the Statements of Insolvency Practice (SIPs), details of which can be viewed here.
Ethics
All IPs are required to comply with the Insolvency Code of Ethics and a copy of the Code can be found here.
Complaints
At 360 we always aim to provide a professional and efficient service. However, we recognise that it is in the nature of insolvency proceedings for disputes or dissatisfaction to arise from time to time. As such, should you have any comments or complaints regarding the administration of a particular case then in the first instance you should speak to the IP to discuss.
If you consider that the IP has not dealt with your comments or complaint appropriately you should then put details of your concerns in writing. This will then formally invoke our complaints procedure and we will endeavour to deal with your complaint, where appropriate, with input from someone unconnected with the appointment.
Most disputes can be resolved amicably either through the provision of further information or following discussions. 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 complain to the regulatory body that licences us. However, you do not do so directly, but through the Insolvency Service. Any such complaints should be addressed to The Insolvency Service, IP Complaints, 3rd Floor, 1 City Walk, Leeds, LS11 9DA, and you can make a submission using an on-line form available at www.gov.uk/complain-about-insolvency-practitioner or you can email insolvency.enquiryline@insolvency.gov.uk; or by phoning 0300 678 0015. Information on the call charges that apply is available at https://www.gov.uk/call-charges.
