What happens after we receive your complaint?
Upon receipt of your complaint, we will acknowledge receipt of your complaint promptly by email.
In accordance with our Complaints Procedure, your complaint will be forwarded to the relevant department, which will review it carefully and make every endeavor to resolve it without undue delay. We shall make every effort to provide you with a final response within eight (8) weeks from the date you have submitted your complaint to us. If we are unable to provide you with a final response within this time frame, we will write to you explaining why we are unable to issue a final response at this time and advise you when you can expect a final response.
During the investigation process, we will keep you updated of the handling process of your complaint.
If you are dissatisfied with the final response you have received from us, you are entitled to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The Financial Ombudsman Service is a free, independent service for settling disputes between financial services firms and their customers.
You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service:
By telephone: 0800 023 4567
By Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk
Online: https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/contact-us/complain-online
You have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, free of charge – but you must do so within six (6) months of the date of our final response to you.
If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Financial Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances e.g. if the Financial Ombudsman believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.
