Within 5 Working Days of Receipt of Your Complaint You Will Receive From Us...
An acknowledgement letter to let you know that your complaint is being dealt with and to provide you with contact details of the person dealing with it.
Within 4 Weeks You Will Receive From Us...
If the complaint is still being investigated 4 weeks after receipt, we are obliged to send you a further response to let you know what is happening. This letter should detail either:
• The reasons why more time is required to investigate your response and how long it will be before you should expect to receive a final response (within a maximum of another 4 weeks).
Or,• The final response from us. This will include the findings from our investigation and details of any compensation we have concluded is payable to you (if appropriate).
Within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint we are obliged to have fully investigated it and provide you with the details of our findings and details of any compensation that we think you would be due - in other words our final response. Hopefully this would be a mutually satisfactory response and the matter will be concluded. However, if you are not satisfied with our final response, you have the right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) within 6 months of the date of that letter. This is free of charge and details of how to do this are set out below. In addition we will provide you with a leaflet when we send our final response detailing how to compliant to FOS.
We will maintain contact with you throughout the complaints process, and during this period, feel free to contact the Complaints Department on 01133200658 if you have any queries.
If you are not satisfied with our final response, you may be eligible to refer the matter to FOS. This is free of charge. To make a complaint to FOS please contact:
