How we first handle complaints

If you make a complaint by telephone or we are aware that you are dissatisfied in any way, we will investigate your complaint and where possible, try and resolve matters with a Customer Service Agent. If the complaint has not been resolved following contact from our Customer Service Agent, this is then escalated to their Team Manager.

If we cannot resolve the complaint over the phone

If at this stage your complaint can still not be resolved, we will write to you, within 2 days of the date you made the complaint, to confirm that it is being looked into.

Where complaints are received in writing, a member of our Customer Complaints team will notify you in writing that we are investigating your complaint and when you should hear from us.

Investigating your complaint

Once we have investigated the complaint, we will contact you (usually in writing) to explain the position and confirm our view. Where applicable, this will include details of our proposals to resolve the matter. We will keep you informed of progress whilst your complaint is being investigated.

Confirming our final position

We will confirm our final position in writing – usually this will be no later than 8 weeks from the date when you first made the complaint. If for any reason we cannot give you a final response within 8 weeks, we will write to you anyway within that time to let you know and to explain why.

If you remain dissatisfied

If you remain dissatisfied after receiving our final response, you may pass the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service where you are eligible to do so. The following are not eligible to refer a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service:

• Limited Companies or other corporate bodies (including partnerships comprised entirely of corporate bodies)
