Our expectations for resolving a complaint

Step one:

Contact us as soon as possible and let us know that you are dissatisfied with an aspect of our service. Our customer services team will then look into your complaint and look to provide a substantive response, in the most appropriate way, within 10 working days. Some complaints however may take longer than others to resolve. Therefore, we will keep you updated with the progress of your complaint and let you know if the resolution will go outside of the 10 working days timeline. We'll only close your complaint when you say it's fixed or if we haven't heard from you in 28 days (we'll try to contact you before we do that).

Step two:

If an advisor can't resolve your complaint, we will ensure your complaint is escalated to an appropriate level within the company. You can ask for a manager to review your complaint at any time if our advisor hasn’t been able to help and hasn’t already offered to refer things to a manager. We do settle the majority of complaints during this step, however, if we cannot settle your complaint, we will explain our final position. In some cases we may send you a “deadlock” letter, which means there is no more that we can do to help you. Alternatively, if you would like a “deadlock” letter to approach the Ombudsman services, you can request one from our customer services team.

Step three:

If you have followed the processes set out above and are still not happy and we have sent you a “deadlock” letter, or 8 weeks have passed since we have received your complaint, you have the option of referring your complaint for independent consideration to the following body: Ombudsman Services.

Ombudsman Services

The Ombudsman Services is set up to provide a free, independent service to investigate your complaint, provided it falls within their terms of reference. Please note that you must have gone through our own complaints procedure first before they can help you. You can find out more on their website at www.ombudsman-services.org/communications.html .
