We'll aim to resolve your complaint as soon as possible, normally within three business days, at which point we'll send you confirmation in writing that your complaint has been resolved. On occasions we'll require a bit longer to resolve your complaint and in this case we'll send you an acknowledgement letter telling you when we hope to reach a decision. We'll then continue to keep you updated on our progress.
Once resolution has been agreed we'll then write to you with our complaint decision (this is called a final response), it will either be to:
- Uphold your complaint, telling you why and what action we intend to carry out to put this right for you, or;
- If we do not uphold your complaint we will explain our reasons for our decision.
If at the end of the process you remain dissatisfied, you may contact the Financial Ombudsman Service.
The Financial Ombudsman Service can be reached via http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/ or you can write to them at The Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London, E14 9SR.
