The Financial Ombudsman Service
An independent view
The Financial Ombudsman Service has been set up by law to provide consumers with a free, independent service for resolving disputes with financial firms.
However the Financial Ombudsman Service can't deal with your case unless you've first given us (or the insurer) the chance to put things right. Under normal circumstances, we have up to 56 days to deal with your complaint. You'll usually then need to take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service no later than six months from the date on the letter giving you the final response.
