How we will investigate your complaint
The FCA rules require us to investigate complaints fairly and impartially.
Where possible, we will endeavour to consider your complaint and respond with our comments by the close of the third working day after we received your complaint.
Where we can’t resolve your complaint within three working days, we will contact you to confirm that your complaint is taking longer to investigate.
We will usually complete our investigations within eight weeks. When we have finished our investigation, we will contact you to explain the outcome. Our letter will also explain your right to refer your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are not satisfied with the outcome.
In the unlikely event that our investigation is not completed within eight weeks, we will contact you to explain why and let you know when you can expect to hear from us. We will also provide details of how to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are not satisfied with our progress.
Provided you confirm that you are happy with our response, we will send a letter to you to confirm that your complaint has been closed.
You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are still unhappy.
Financial Ombudsman Service
You have a statutory right to refer your complaint, free of charge, to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are unhappy with our decision or if we take longer than eight weeks to provide a final response.
You may refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service within six months from the date of the final response letter. Should you not do this, it could be argued that the Financial Ombudsman Service should not look at your complaint.
