What if I'm still not happy?
Financial services complaints we cannot settle may be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This is a free service where an independent review of your complaint will be made, but as we are committed to resolving your complaints quickly and simply, we hope that you never need to use this service.
Financial Ombudsman Service
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) was set up to help settle individual disputes between consumers and financial firms. The Financial Ombudsman Service will only look at complaints if the firm has had the opportunity to investigate the complaint first and provide a response.
If you are not happy with a final response given to a complaint or if no final response has been provided within an 8 week period from the date of initial complaint, you are the eligible to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service and request they investigate the matter on your behalf. No charge will be made for this and any decisions made will be binding on the financial institution concerned.
