Treating Customers Fairly (TCF)

At Cleevely Electric Vehicles we are fully committed to providing our customers with the highest standards of customer service. We are transparent in how we run our business and always put our customers first.

We embrace and take seriously the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in particular, the requirement to treat customers fairly. 

Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) is one of the key principles set by the Financial Conduct Authority to ensure fair treatment of customers, by improving standards across the financial industry.

The FCA has outlined six key outcomes which are central to our treating customers fairly initiative:

  • Outcome 1: Consumers can be confident they are dealing with firms where the fair treatment of customers is central to the corporate culture.
  • Outcome 2: Products and services marketed and sold in the retail market are designed to meet the needs of identified consumer groups and are targeted accordingly.
  • Outcome 3: Consumers are provided with clear information and are kept appropriately informed before, during and after the point of sale.
  • Outcome 4: Where consumers receive advice, the advice is suitable and takes account of their circumstances.
  • Outcome 5: Consumers are provided with products that perform as firms have led them to expect, and the associated service is of an acceptable standard and as they have been led to expect.
  • Outcome 6: Consumers do not face unreasonable post-sale barriers imposed by firms to change product, switch provider, submit a claim or make a complaint.

Bringing the initiative to life in our day to day operations
