What will happen next?
If we are not able to resolve your complaint immediately, we will send you a written acknowledgement within 5 working days of receiving your formal complaint and enclose a copy of this procedure. We will then undertake a formal investigation into your concerns.
Within eight weeks of receipt of the complaint we will provide you a detailed final response.
Where provision of a full response is not possible within the eight weeks, you will be provided with an interim update letter with a timeframe when a final response can be expected. We will also inform you of your right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service should you wish to do so.
If your complaint is related to payment services, a final response will be sent within 15 business days from receipt of your complaint. In exceptional circumstances, we may send you a holding response providing the reasons for the delay and a new deadline which will be no later than 35 business from the day you made the complaint.
Please note that if longer than six months has passed since our final response letter, the FOS may not be able to consider your complaint other than in very limited circumstances).
