We take care to maintain high standards of service. Where we become aware of client concerns or unease, we give priority to resolving the matter as quicky as possible and that your concerns are handled fairly and within reasonable timescales.
Upon receipt of a complaint, we will do all we can to resolve your concerns within three business days and confirm this to you in writing.

A senior person, who where possible is independent of the case, will investigate your complaint. You will be given their name and contact details.
When acknowledging your complaint, especially in the case of an oral complaint, we will set out the nature of the complaint and may request further clarification if necessary. Your complaint will be investigated using our files together with reports from other parties if relevant. We may also write to you if further information is required. We will keep you informed of the progress of the complaint investigation.
After eight weeks – If a final response letter has not already been sent to you, you will receive;

This letter will also confirm that if you remain dissatisfied with our final response that you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) within six months of the date of our final response letter, otherwise you would lose this referral right. A copy of the FOS leaflet ‘your complaint and the Ombudsman’ will be enclosed, if not already supplied.
