The Customer remains responsible for the accuracy of the unique identifier. Colibrix reserves the right not to execute a Payment Order where it has well-grounded doubts as to its legitimacy or where execution would, in Colibrix’s reasonable view, give rise to a risk of fraud, financial crime, sanctions breach or other unlawful activity.

20. Complaints
20.1. Any complaints about us or the Services we provide should be addressed to us in the first place. You should clearly indicate that you wish to make a complaint to us. This helps us to distinguish a complaint from a typical query. We will send an acknowledgement of receipt of complaint and may request additional information from you regarding your complaint.

20.3. The Customer, believing that Colibrix has violated the Customer’s rights and/or interests protected by the laws related to the provision of financial services and/or concluded agreements, might refer to Colibrix by submitting a written complaint. Where the Customer is eligible to bring a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Customer ordinarily has six (6) years from the event complained of, or, if later, three (3) years from the date on which the Customer became aware (or ought reasonably to have become aware) of the cause for complaint, and a further six (6) months from the date of Colibrix’s final response to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall shorten or limit those statutory time limits.
20.4. The complaint shall contain a reference to circumstances and documents that served as a basis for the complaint. If the Customer justifies his/her complaint with documents which Colibrix does not possess, the Customer shall also submit such documents or their copies.
20.5. Colibrix has the right to forward your complaint to a third party if we have reasonable grounds to believe that the third party may be solely or jointly responsible for the matter alleged in the complaint. If a complaint is forwarded to a third party, we will inform you about the reasons and the third party’s contact details. If we receive a forwarded complaint, then we treat this complaint as if Colibrix has received the complaint directly and the same time limits will apply from the date on which Colibrix has received the forwarded complaint.
20.6. There are three stages to the complaints procedure:
20.6.1. Submission of a complaint.
You can submit your complaints by contacting us via:
- at the address: Warnford Court, 29 Throgmorton Street, London, England, EC2N 2AT;
- by email: complaints@colibrix.uk.
On receipt each complaint will be allocated a reference number and logged on our Complaints Register. You should clearly state that you wish to make a complaint to us. We may send an acknowledgment or request additional information from you regarding your complaint.
20.6.2. Investigation of the complaint.
Upon receipt, the complaint is promptly reviewed by us and we are entitled to obtain additional information as necessary for conducting a detailed investigation. Colibrix undertakes to analyse the claim or complaint of the Customer and inform the Customer about the decision business within 15 Business Days after the day on which Colibrix received the complaint. If a full reply cannot be issued within 15 Business Days for reasons beyond our control, a holding response must be sent explaining the delay and stating the deadline for a final response, which must not exceed 35 Business Days from the complaint’s receipt.
If Colibrix is not able to provide an answer to the Customer’s complaint within the aforementioned time period, Colibrix shall inform the Customer about the reasons and indicate the time period in which the answer will be provided. Analysis of the Customer’s complaints by Colibrix is free of charge. Once the complaint is resolved, we send you the final response which states whether Colibrix accepts or rejects the complaint, the relevant reasons, the intention to offer redress or remedial action and details of the redress where applicable, and other additional information relevant to the case.
20.6.3. Alternative dispute resolution mechanism.
If the Customer is still not satisfied with the decision made by Colibrix, the Customer has the right to use other legal remedies to protect its rights. For instance, you always may direct your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service:
Address: Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR
Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk
Phone number: 0800 023 4567
Website: https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/contact-us
