First, the right door
Is it a complaint?
A complaint is about Hyyryn itself. A problem with the work goes somewhere else, because only that route can hold the money while it is decided.
-
The work, or the tradesperson
A dispute, raised from the job
The work was not done, was done badly or is not finished, or nobody turned up.
The money stays where it is until the dispute is decided.

A complaint, to us
The platform, a decision we made (on a dispute, a review or your checks), something we said or did, how long we took, or how we treated you. Tradespeople complain the same way, about a payout, a plan charge or anything else we did.
The money is not affected.
How to complain -
A card charge, or a refund
Payment protection
A charge you do not recognise, or a refund that has not reached you. Look at your bank statement first, then tell us; the payment protection page shows where your money is at every step.
The money is held by Stripe, never by us.

How to complain
It costs nothing. Use the form on Help and choose “A complaint about Hyyryn”, or email support@hyyryn.com. Either way it reaches the same person, and it is dated the moment it arrives.

- 1Complaint: the decision on my dispute
Hello,
The job reference is 2at the top of the job page. Here is what happened, in a few plain sentences, and how it affected me.
And 3this is what I would like done.
- 1Put “Complaint” in the subjectSo it is read as a complaint, with its dates, and not as a question.
- 2Give the job reference, if there is oneIt is at the top of the job page and in every email we have sent you about the job. With it we can see the whole file: the photographs, the times and who confirmed what.
- 3Say what you would like doneYou do not have to, and we will still answer. A complaint that says what would put it right is one we can act on, not only explain.

Your dates
If you send it today. If we are going to miss a date, you hear that before the day it is due, with the reason and the new date.
- You send itToday
- We acknowledge itBy the second working dayA person confirms we have it, says who is looking at it, and gives you a reference.
- We answer itBy the twentieth working dayWhat we found, what we are doing about it, and where you can go if you disagree.
- We keep itFor six yearsFrom the day we answer it, so a pattern is seen rather than forgotten.
Working days are Monday to Friday, not counting bank holidays in England and Wales. A complaint sent on a weekend or a bank holiday arrives on the next working day.
However suits you
Help to complain
- Someone can complain for you. A relative, a friend or an adviser can write on your behalf. We need a line from you saying they may, so that we can share your details with them.
- Tell us what you need. If writing is hard, or you need more time, larger text or a call from us instead of emails, say so in your message and we will arrange it.
- It never costs you anything, and making a complaint never counts against you, on a job, a review or your account.
We tell you, whether or not you ask
If we do not put it right
Our answer always says where you can go next, whether or not we agreed with you. You do not need our say-so for any of these, and most of them can help sooner if you have come to us first.

- A card payment
Your bank or card provider
Your card provider may be able to reverse a card payment (a chargeback). If it will not help, you can complain about it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
- Any of it
The courts
Nothing on this page limits your right to go to court. A claim for less than £10,000 is usually offered a free mediation session first.
Being straight with you. Hyyryn is not a member of an ombudsman or alternative dispute resolution scheme, and is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, so there is no ombudsman for a complaint about us. The money itself is held and moved by Stripe Payments UK, Ltd., which the Financial Conduct Authority authorises as an electronic money institution (reference 900461). We would rather say so here than have you find out at the worst moment.
