Complaints

Complaints Handling Policy
Any expression of dissatisfaction about the provision, or failure to provide, a financial service and complaints handling procedure which alleges that the complainant has suffered (or may suffer) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience is treated as a complaint. This includes correspondence in writing and that made during verbal communication. Where any customer expresses concern about the service, steps should be taken to resolve that matter and it should be treated as a complaint.

Complaints will be resolved within 8 weeks upon receipt. We will also provide the customer with a ‘Summary Resolution Communication’ once the complaint has been resolved.

Complaints are initially made to the customer service team, and can be done via telephone on a local telephone number (basic rate).

Complaints may be received directly from customers or from third party representatives. In the event of any complaint the matter must be recorded and logged, and referred to the nominated complaints handler in accordance with the complaint handling process. All complaints will be acknowledge within 1 working day.

Any complaint received from a third-party representative such as Trading Standards or the Citizens Advice Bureau should be immediately referred to the nominated complaints handler.

Customers are provided with FOS details (including the website) and a leaflet on raising a complaint to FOS should they wish to do so.

We are required to complete a complaint return twice a year containing all complaints data.

You have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, free of charge – but you must do so within six months of the date of this letter. If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if the Ombudsman believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.
