Making a complaint

Important information - the Payment Protection Insurance complaint deadline has now passed

The deadline for making new PPI complaints about mis-sold policies or undisclosure of commission has now passed.

There may be exceptional circumstances that would cause a new PPI complaint about mis-selling or undisclosed commission to be in time. Contact us if you think this applies to you.

You can still complain about other aspects of your policy such as the administration or claims. If you haven't heard about an existing PPI complaint, we'll be in touch soon.

What we'll do with your complaint

When things go wrong, talking it through with you is really important to us.

1

Let's talk about it

We'll contact you by phone within the first two working days after we've received your complaint to understand what's happened.

If we can't speak to you or need more time to find a resolution, we'll write to you within five working days to let you know.

Working together

An advisor will try to resolve your complaint with you straightaway. If this is possible, we'll send you a summary resolution letter confirming that your complaint has been resolved.

If we need a bit more time we'll make sure we keep you up to date with what's happening.

Reaching a resolution

After we've fully investigated your complaint, we’ll send you our final response by post detailing our findings and our decision.

We’ll also give you information about the Financial Ombudsman Service including how to contact them if you're unhappy with our decision.

What happens if we can't reach a resolution together?

We're covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service which offers a free and independent review service.

If you're not happy with our final response, you can ask them to review your complaint for you.

You'll need to contact them within six months of the date of our summary resolution communication or final response letter.
