If we can’t resolve the matter straight away
Wherever possible, we’ll attempt to resolve the matter during your initial phone call to us, or we may attempt to call you back where appropriate. In cases where we need to undertake a more detailed investigation, or we’ve been unable to speak with you, we’ll acknowledge your complaint in writing within five working days of receiving it. Where possible, we’ll give you with a full response within this acknowledgement letter.
Note: If we receive a complaint outside normal working hours, it’s treated as if it had arrived at the start of the next working day.
Complaints that require further investigation
We’ll always try to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, but sometimes this isn’t possible. If we haven’t included a decision in your acknowledgement letter, we’ll be in touch to explain why. This may be up to 20 days after your acknowledgement letter as we may need to carry out additional investigations (e.g. listening to recorded calls or awaiting additional information from your broker).
In the unlikely event that we’ve not finished investigating your complaint 40 business days after we received it, we’ll send you a further letter to:
- Explain why we have been unable to reach a decision
- Let you know when you can expect our final decision
- Provide contact details for the Financial Service & Pensions Ombudsman and explain their service
Our response
Once we’ve fully investigated the matter, we’ll write to you confirming our decision, how we reached this decision, and any offer of redress if this is appropriate. If you’re unhappy about our response, you may refer the matter to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO).
The FSPO is an independent service provided free for consumers. You can contact them using the details below:
