WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MAKING A COMPLAINT

Shortly after receiving your complaint we will send you a prompt acknowledgement in writing, letting you know that we have received the complaint and that we are looking into it. We will also let you know when you should receive our response, which we will always aim to provide within 8-weeks from the day you made your complaint. We will then keep you updated on the progress of your complaint up to the time when you receive our response.

Our response

Before we will respond to your complaint, our complaint handler, Emanuel Grolman, will investigate the circumstances surrounding your complaint and which led to it being made. They will look at why you have made your complaint and investigate what might have gone wrong. Then, within 8 weeks from the date of your complaint, our complaint handler will send you either:

  • A final response addressing the complaint and outlining your right to appeal with the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are dissatisfied with the resolution of your complaint; or
  • A written response which explains why we are still not in a position to make our final response, giving reasons for the further delay, indicating when we expect to be able to provide our final response and informing you that you can now refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are dissatisfied with the delay.
If your complaint is upheld, we will confirm this in writing to you, including any suitable recourse, where applicable. If we consider it appropriate to offer redress or remedial action, we will promptly comply with that offer should you accept this.

If we reject the complaint, we will give reasons for doing so in writing. If you are not satisfied with our resolution of your complaint, you can escalate your complaint to The Financial Ombudsman. Please see below for further information on how you can escalate your complaint.
