2. Acknowledging your Complaint

If your complaint cannot be resolved by the close of three business days following its receipt, we will send you a written acknowledgement of your complaint within five working days of receipt and a full investigation will follow.

We will provide a copy of this document on request and when acknowledging a complaint.

3. Investigating your Complaint

Your complaint will be investigated diligently and will be assessed competently and impartially. We may ask you to submit copies of documentation and may request further information from you to assist us with our investigation.

If we have reasonable grounds to be satisfied that another organisation may be solely or jointly responsible for the issues raised, we will forward the complaint, or the relevant part of it, to that organisation. We will write to you to confirm our actions and provide contact details of the organisation concerned.

From receipt of your complaint we will meet the following timeframe:

• By Day 28 - Investigate your complaint and provide you with a response within 28 days. If it is not possible to resolve the complaint within 28 days, for example your complaint may involve us obtaining information from our client or another party; you will be advised of our progress status.
• By Day 56 – In the unlikely event that your complaint has not been resolved at an earlier date, we write to you with a final response letter setting out our conclusions.

If we are unable to provide you with a final response within this time, we will send you an update and explain why we have been unable to respond fully.

If more than eight weeks from the date of your complaint has passed and you haven’t received a final response, or you are dissatisfied with the final response you receive you can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service. Their contact details are:
