What we will do

We want to resolve your concerns as quickly as possible; however, more complex problems may involve conducting an investigation. We will review your complaint in a fair, impartial and timely manner.

Within three working days

If your complaint has not been satisfactorily resolved, within three working days from the date your complaint was received, you will receive a written letter from us confirming that your complaint is being looked into.

Within eight weeks

All our complaints should be resolved within eight weeks, and you will receive a copy of the resolution in writing for your records.

If this is not possible within eight weeks, we will write to you to let you know why we have not resolved your issues and when we expect to issue you with a final response.

Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)

If you are unhappy with the resolution we offer, or we have not provided a resolution within eight weeks from the date we acknowledged your complaint, you can escalate your complaint to FOS.
