The simplest way of solving a problem is to talk to someone about it. If you are unhappy about something to do with a product or service, we'd like to hear about it.
Our staff are trained to efficiently and courteously deal with all types of problems. So don't hesitate to speak to our staff if something is troubling you. We'd like to know about anything which affects the relationship you have with us.
The first place you should take any complaint is to a member of our staff. If at all possible, the problem will be resolved immediately. However, if our staff member is unable to assist, please speak to a supervisor or manager. Our supervisor or manager will try to resolve the matter by the next business day.
You may also make a complaint by sending an email to mailto:info@lcu.com.au or by calling us on (02) 9859 0585.

Frequently, complaints are simple cases of confusion or misunderstanding which can be sorted out to everybody's satisfaction very quickly.
However, not all complaints can be dealt with quickly. Our supervisor or manager will advise you if he or she is unable to resolve your complaint by the next business day. Our aim is to have your complaint resolved within 14 days, although in more complex cases (eg a complaint about a card transaction overseas) we may need up to 45 days. If this happens we will write to you advising of this.

We are a member of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). FOS provides an external and impartial procedure for resolving disputes between credit unions and their members. FOS is free of charge to members.
If you are not satisfied with the final outcome of your complaint, you may tell us to pursue the matter further with FOS. With your written consent, we will then refer the matter, and copies of all documents and correspondence concerning the complaint, to FOS. If we fail to do this, or if we fail to resolve your complaint within 45 days, you may refer the matter to FOS yourself. You can contact FOS on 1800 367 287.

This in itself is not a contract between the credit union and yourself, and it is not enforceable against us.
