We have established an internal complaints procedure to ensure that your complaint is dealt with efficiently and by the correct person. We usually aim to resolve issues by the 15th business day following receipt of the complaint, but in the exceptional event that it is taking longer to resolve a complaint we will notify you of the anticipated timeframe by the 15th day. To help us investigate and resolve your complaint as quickly as possible and with minimum inconvenience to you, please make sure you give us as much information as possible, including;
- your name, address and client reference number;
- a clear description of your complaint;
- details of what you would like us to do to put it right;
- copies of any relevant documents, such as letters;
- a daytime telephone number where we can contact you.
In the unlikely event that you have not had an initial response from us within 15 days or a final response within 35 days - or if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, and you are eligible - you can request a review from the Financial Ombudsman Service which has been established to review eligible complaints that firms are unable to resolve.
If the Client Services Team are unable to resolve the matter to your satisfaction, your complaint may be referred to the Compliance Department who will;
- send you a prompt written acknowledgement;
- issue you a final response within 15 business days of the complaint being logged, setting out our view and your options; in exceptional circumstances that are beyond our control, aim to issue a final response within 35 business days of the complaint logged date.
In our Final Response we will confirm your eligibility to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service which must take place within six months to ensure speedy resolution. We do not use the services of any other dispute resolution providers. Contact details for the Financial Ombudsman Service are outlined below:
