Financial Ombudsman Service:
We will acknowledge your complaint within five working days of receiving it. We will always deal with complaints as quickly as we can and will carry out a full and impartial investigation of the issues you raise, although some complaints may take longer to resolve. If the investigation is still incomplete after eight weeks, we will write to you again and explain what stage the process has reached and how we are planning to proceed.
If you are not satisfied with our conclusions or decisions or if our investigations are not completed within eight weeks, if you are an eligible complainant (e.g. a consumer, micro- enterprise, small charity or small trust), you may refer your complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service. We can provide you with details of how to do this. If you are not sure whether you are an eligible complainant, the Financial Ombudsman Service will be able to confirm this for you. The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent service for eligible complainants with unresolved complaints about financial firms and offers a flexible and informal dispute resolution service.
This service is free to use. Their consumer helpline is available on 0800 023 4567 or 0300 123 9123 or you can visit their website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
