Making a Complaint

How we handle complaints*

If you call us with a complaint we’ll do our best to resolve it immediately. If this isn’t possible, we’ll write to you within 5 working days. And, if we need more time to investigate, we’ll send you an update within 4 weeks.

If you’re still not satisfied, or it takes more than 8 weeks to resolve your complaint, you can take your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
