Our Service to You
Our goal is to give excellent service to all Our customers but We recognise that things do go wrong occasionally. We take all complaints We receive seriously and aim to resolve all Our customers’ problems promptly. To ensure that We provide the kind of service You expect We welcome Your feedback. We will record and analyse Your comments to make sure We continually improve the service We offer.
What will happen if You complain?
• We will acknowledge Your complaint within 2 working days of receipt
• We aim to resolve complaints following assessment and investigation, as quickly as possible.
Most of Our customers’ concerns can be resolved quickly but occasionally more detailed enquiries are needed. If this is likely, We will contact You with an update within 10 working days of receipt and give You an expected date of response.
If You remain unhappy with the decision You receive from the local branch You may write to the Chief Executive. If You are dissatisfied with Our final decision, You can refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
The FOS will only consider Your complaint if You have given Us the opportunity to resolve it and You are a private policyholder, a business with a group annual turnover of less than £1 million, a charity with an annual income of less than £1 million or a trustee of a trust with a net asset value of less than £1 million. Please follow the steps below. If, however, We do not resolve Your complaint within 40 working days, the FOS will accept a direct referral.
Whilst We are bound by the decision of the FOS, You are not. Following the complaint procedure does not affect Your right to take legal action.
What should I do? The steps You should take if dissatisfied
