What happens next?
1. You will receive a written or electronic acknowledgment of your complaint within
five business days of receipt, identifying the person who will be handling the complaint
the complaint for the business. Your complaint will be thoroughly investigated your
concerns and, wherever possible, that person will not have been directly involved
in the matter which is the subject of the complaint and will have the authority
to settle it.
2. Within four weeks of receiving the complaint, we will send you either:
- a. A final response which adequately addresses the complaint; or
- b. A holding response, which explains why we are not yet in a position to resolve
the complaint and indicates when we will make further contact with you
3. Within eight weeks of receiving the complaint, we will send you either:
- a. A final response which adequately addresses the complaint; or
- b. A response which:
- i. Explains why we are still not in a position to make a final response, giving
reasons for the further delay; and
- ii. Informs you that you may refer the handling of the complaint to the Claims Management
Regulator if you are dissatisfied with the delay.
4. Where we decide that redress is appropriate, we will provide you with fair compensation
for any acts or omissions for which we are responsible and will comply with any
offer of redress which you accept. Appropriate redress will not always involve financial
redress.
If we do not hear from you within 14 days of receiving our response, we will assume
that your complaint has been resolved and your file will be referred back to the
relevant department. If you do not feel that your complaint has been resolved satisfactorily
please write a letter to explain why and ask for a further review.
What to do if you are not satisfied with our response
If you are not satisfied with our response, or if a complaint is not resolved after
eight weeks, you may refer the complaint to:
Claims Management Regulator
PO Box 7824
Burton Trent
Staffordshire
DE14 9DP
info@claimsregulation.gov.uk
Tel: 0845 450 6858
The Regulator will only intervene once all steps of the company’s in house complaints
procedure have been followed. The Regulator can review the handling of the complaint
and give a direction on further handling of the complaint. However, he cannot determine
a complaint or award compensation.
We reserve the right to decline to consider a complaint which is made more than
six months after you became aware of the cause of the complaint. There maybe instances
where we will waive this requirement at our discretion. We will confirm to you in
writing if a complaint has been outside the time limit that we are prepared to consider.
