If we have not been able to resolve your complaint within eight weeks, or you are not satisfied with our response, you can refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent organisation which helps to resolve complaints that customers and financial services providers have been unable to resolve themselves.

If you do not refer your complaint in time, the ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if the ombudsman believes that the delay was a result of exceptional circumstances.

You can contact them in writing at Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London, E14 9SR, by telephone on 0800 023 4567 and via email at [email protected].
