Summary of the Complaints Handling Process
All complaints are recorded and then independently assessed and investigated by staff with appropriate experience.
Wherever possible we will seek to investigate and resolve the complaint promptly. Where the complaint is resolved within 3 business days of its receipt, we will send you a Summary Resolution Communication explaining how the complaint has been resolved and providing information on your rights to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you remain dissatisfied.
If it will take longer to resolve your complaint, we will provide you with an acknowledgement letter within 5 business days of receipt of your complaint. We will keep you informed of progress and may ask you to provide further information to assist us in the investigation of the complaint.
We try to resolve all complaints within 8 weeks but, if this is not possible, we will write to you to explain the delay and when we expect to be able to complete the investigation. Once our investigation is complete, we will send you a Final Resolution Letter. This will set out our assessment of the complaint and our response to it, including any remedial action or offer of redress, where appropriate. We will also provide you with information on your rights to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you remain dissatisfied.
The Financial Ombudsman Service is a free and independent service for resolving disputes between eligible customers and financial services institutions.
