Investigating complaints

Our complaints procedure is designed to ensure that each complaint is dealt with fairly and to your satisfaction. We aim to resolve your complaint within 48 hours, however if we are unable to do so we will send an acknowledgement letter within 5 working days of your complaint being received. If our investigations are not completed within 3 weeks, we will confirm by letter the reasons for the delay.

If our investigations have not been completed within 8 weeks, we will outline our findings to you by letter, explain why we have been unable to resolve the issue and highlight your referral rights to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

We will be pleased to deal with all your concerns, however if your complaint relates to additional services offered to you via a third party, you may wish to contact them directly.
