Timescales

Our aim is to resolve the majority of our complaints within 48 hours, but sometimes more complex issues can take longer. We promise that if we are unable to resolve your concerns within 5 business days (Monday-Friday excluding Bank Holidays) we will tell you and keep you regularly informed of our progress.

Successful resolution of complaints is important to us, so we will always strive to deliver a fair decision. While regulations allow us 56 days to issue our Final Response we will always aim to do this as soon as possible.

If you are unhappy after receiving our Final Response and you have additional information that may change our decision please contact the person who responded to you.

Alternatively, you can:

  • contact our Chief Executive using this secure form
  • take your complaint directly to the Financial Ombudsman Service

When you provide feedback on our services, or make a complaint, a record may be kept on our internal log.
