What we do when we receive a Complaint
On receipt of a complaint the details are passed to our Complaints Officer for acknowledgement, further investigation and resolution. The complaint is entered onto our complaints register and copies of any documents kept in a complaints file.
Complaints Resolved within 3 Business Days of Receipt
On receipt of a complaint if we believe the complaint has been resolved to the Complainant’s satisfaction within 3 business days we will send the Complainant a ‘Summary Resolution Communication’.
Complaints which take longer than 3 Business Days to Resolve
On receipt of a complaint if we believe that it cannot be resolved within 3 business days we will acknowledge it by within 5 business days of receiving the original complaint.
If we receive an oral complaint the matter complained of will be referred to in our letter of acknowledgement together with details of our understanding of the complaint for the complainant to confirm the accuracy of this.
Within 4 Weeks of receiving the initial Complaint
A copy of our complaints policy and details of the Financial Ombudsman Service will also be sent with this initial letter. This letter may contain our Final Response where appropriate.
The Complaints Officer will review the details surrounding the matter complained about and will examine the file and any other relevant information.
The Complaints Officer will endeavour to complete his or her investigation as quickly as possible. In any event within 4 weeks of receiving the initial complaint the Complaints Officer will contact the complainant either in writing with either a Final Response (see section 6) or an explanation of why further investigation is necessary.
Within 8 Weeks of receiving the initial Complaint
Within eight weeks of receiving the initial complaint the Complaints Officer will contact the complainant again by letter. This will be in the form of either a Final Response (see section 5.2.4) or in exceptional circumstances where extensive further investigations are necessary a full explanation:
1) Setting out why the matter is still unresolved.
2) Giving a full summary of our investigation to date and explaining why we have not been able to conclude the matter.
3) Indicating when we expect to be able to give you a final response.
4) Explaining that you may refer the handling of the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman if you are unhappy with the delay.
Final Response
Once the investigation is completed then our Complaints Officer will send you a Final Response by letter with their appraisal of the matter and outlining our offer to settle the matter if appropriate.
The letter will detail whether we
1) Have accepted the complaint – and where appropriate are offering compensation or
2) are offering compensation without accepting the complaint
3) reject the complaint
If having written to you with a Final Response letter you do not respond within 8 weeks we will treat the matter as closed.

If you are not satisfied after receiving the Final Response from us then you have the right to make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. You must do this within 6 months of the date of the Final Response letter.
