Complaints

We aim to provide you with a first-class online service. However, there may be times when you feel that we have not done so. If this is the case, we would rather be told about it so that we can do our best to solve the problem. If you have a complaint, then please contact us and we will make sure that your complaint is considered promptly.

If there is a disagreement between us which we cannot resolve to your satisfaction you can refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) who, once contacted, will liaise with us on your behalf. The FOS will then inform you directly of its decision. Referral to the FOS will not prejudice your right to take subsequent legal proceedings.
