We strive to provide the best possible service. However, we appreciate that at times we may not meet your expectations. If this occurs, we want to do our best to resolve your issues as quickly and effectively as possible.

If you need to make a complaint we will:

If you make a complaint we will try to resolve it to your satisfaction by the close of business on the third working day after you first contacted us. In these cases we will write to you by email confirming that you had raised a complaint and that we now consider the matter resolved. However, if we can’t resolve your complaint within this timeframe we will follow the following process:

How soon will we deal with your complaint?

We will write to you within five working days of receiving your complaint. We will either provide a full response, or send you an acknowledgement letter which will tell you who is dealing with your complaint, provide their contact details and give the expected timescales for achieving a resolution.

We will investigate your complaint fully and once this is completed we will contact you with our findings. We will also provide our final response in writing. If your complaint is particularly complex, we may need to spend longer investigating it. In these cases, we will keep you updated on our progress.

In all cases we will respond to your complaint within eight weeks, in line with the deadline set by the Financial Conduct Authority.
