Complaints

How can I make a complaint?

We want to give you the service you expect. So if something goes wrong, we want to put it right and stop it from happening again.

If something’s gone wrong, you can let us know by getting in touch with us.

We’ll:

• Let you know that we’ve received your complaint within five working days of receiving it.
• Write to you to explain what we think’s happened, so we’re sure we understand why you’re concerned.
• Investigate your complaint as soon as we can. If we need any extra information from a third party, we'll keep you up to date.

If we think it’ll take us more than eight weeks to find out what’s happened, we’ll write to you to explain why, and tell you when we think we’ll be able to reply.

When we’ve completed our investigation, we’ll write to you to explain what we’ve found, and what we think should happen.

If you’re still unhappy, you can refer your complaint to the independent Financial Ombudsman Service. You’ll usually need to do this within six months of receiving our final reply.
