We’ll do our best to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. If we can’t do this immediately, we’ll try to acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days of receiving it, and keep you updated on the progress of our investigation.
We aim to resolve any complaint within two weeks. If this isn’t possible, we’ll write to you with an update on the progress of our investigation. Once we’ve resolved your complaint, we’ll confirm everything in writing.
In the unlikely event that we haven’t resolved your complaint within 8 weeks of us receiving it, we’ll write to you and let you know the reasons why. At this point, you can also refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
