Our Complaints Handling Procedure
 

1.	We aim to resolve your concerns, whenever possible, by close of business on the next working day. If this is not possible, we will promptly acknowledge your complaint in writing no later than five working days after receipt.
2.	If your complaint concerns the provision of (or failure to provide) a service by another firm authorised by the Financial Services Authority, such as an insurer, we will promptly refer your complaint in writing to the firm. In these circumstances we will provide you with the full contact details for the firm and, if the other firm is solely responsible, our final response.
3.	We will endeavour to resolve your complaint at the earliest possible stage. We will thoroughly investigate the matter and will usually send our response to you in writing no later than eight weeks after receipt of your complaint.
4.	We will keep you regularly informed of our progress and the measures being taken to resolve your complaint. If our initial response is not issued within four weeks of the date we received your complaint, we will issue a letter to you explaining why we have been unable to resolve your complaint and indicate when we will make further contact. You are welcome to contact us at any time to check the status of our investigation.
5.	If you are not satisfied by our initial response, you can ask us to review your complaint again and advise us of any additional information you believe may be relevant to our review. We will then review your complaint once more and provide you with our final response.
6.	If, after eight weeks, you are still waiting for us to respond, we will write to you explaining why we have been unable to conclude your complaint and the options available to you.
7.	If you are a private individual or firm, charity or organisation with a turnover of less than £1,000,000, you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), provided we have had an adequate opportunity to resolve your complaint first. We will advise you of the time limits for making a referral to the FOS and supply a copy of the FOS explanatory booklet with our initial or final response. The FOS can be contacted by: Accessing the website http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm Telephoning 0845 080 1800 We will provide whatever assistance we can to the FOS and abide with their final decision.

Your right as a customer to take legal action remains unaffected by the existence or use of any complaints procedures referred to above. However, the FOS will not adjudicate on any cases where litigation has commenced.
