We will always try our best to respond to your complaint as quickly as possible and we’ll send you our final response no later than eight weeks from when you first complained however in most cases you will receive a final response within four weeks of us receiving your complaint.
If we cannot complete our investigation within eight weeks, we will contact you to explain the delay and give you an indication of when to expect our response.
If you’re unhappy with the progress of your complaint or not happy with our final response, at this point, you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
