What we'll do and when
Our aim is to solve any problem to your complete satisfaction, and our customer service advisers will try to do this as quickly as possible, preferably during a phone call or email exchange. If we can't do this, we'll agree with you what we can do.
We aim to respond to a letter within ten working days, an email within ten working days and if we can't sort out your complaint when you phone us, we'll respond within ten working days.
We'll try to sort out your complaint on the spot but whatever happens, we'll respond and try to keep you regularly updated if it's going to take a while to check into things.
If an advisor can't sort out your complaint, we'll review it and escalate the complaint to an appropriate level within the company. We settle most complaints by this stage but, if not, we'll explain our final position. In some cases, we might send you a 'deadlock' letter. This means there's nothing more we can do.
What you can do if you're still not happy
If you're still not happy having followed the process explained above, and we've sent you a 'deadlock' letter or eight weeks have passed since you complained, you can refer your complaint to Ombudsman Services: Communications.

satisfied with the final outcome of their complaints.
