Honda Civic making creaking noises

My partner has been experiencing an issue with his Honda Civic whereby it is severely creaking at the back for the first five minutes of driving. Our local dealer thinks it might be coming from the fuel pump primer. Do you think this is correct or are they just fobbing us off?

I thought at first likely to be something to do with the parking brake cables. I hadn't heard of a low pressure fuel tank sender pump making creaking noises, but I guess it could if the tank was regularly run low. However, in a Civic, the tank is not at the back. It is under the driver's and passenger's seats.
