We take all complaints we receive seriously and aim to resolve all our customers' problems promptly. To ensure that we provide the kind of service you expect we welcome your feedback. We will record and analyse your comments to make sure we continually improve the service we offer.

We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days of receipt and should we be able to investigate and finalise your complaint within this period we will provide you with our final response together with this acknowledgement.

Where we are unable to finalise your complaint within 5 working days we will provide you with a final response within 4 weeks of receiving the complaint. In the event that we are unable to provide you with our final response we will provide you with a holding response that will explain why we are not yet in a position to resolve the complaint and when we will next contact you.

If after 8 weeks we are unable to provide you with our final response we will provide you with a holding response that will explain why we are not yet in a position to resolve the complaint and when we will be able to provide you with our final response.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only considers complaints from eligible complainants.
