Complaints policy

We strive to offer the best service possible to our customers, unfortunately in some circumstances we may fall short of the high standards you should expect. We absolutely want to know if you have a concern, comment or complaint about the service we offer. Complaints help us to improve and become better at what we do. We accept that we are not perfect, but we promise to investigate any complaint thoroughly, respond as quick as possible and put our findings into practice if it makes us better.

We will always try our best to respond to your complaint as quickly as possible and we’ll send you our final response no later than eight weeks from when you first complained however in most cases you will receive a final response within four weeks of us receiving your complaint.

If we cannot complete our investigation within eight weeks, we will contact you to explain the delay and give you an indication of when to expect our response.

If you’re unhappy with the progress of your complaint or not happy with our final response, at this point, you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

The Financial Ombudsman Service will only deal with your complaint if you have given us the opportunity to put matters right, so please contact us first and we will do all we can to help you.
