Where a complaint arises we will, wherever possible, endeavour to resolve the matter by no later than the close of business the third working day following receipt. If this is not possible, to enable us to remedy the situation in a speedy and efficient manner, we will follow the procedure detailed below. We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as possible after receipt giving you the name or job title of the person handling the complaint. In the event that your complaint relates to activities or services provided by another party, we will advise you of this in writing giving you reasons for our decision and ensure that your complaint is promptly forwarded to the appropriate party, in writing. We will aim to make a final response to you as soon as practicable, and keep you reasonably informed as to progress. We anticipate that we will be able to provide a substantive response to most complaints within eight weeks. By the end of eight weeks from receipt of your complaint, we will issue you with our final response, or issue a response that gives you reasons for the delay and indicates when we will be able to provide a final response. If you are dissatisfied with our response or the delay at this time, you may be able to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service. When we give you our final response we will try and explain to you all the reasons why we have come to our conclusion. If we feel that redress is appropriate we will show how we have calculated this and we will have based it upon what we believe is fair and appropriate to your complaint. We will also advise how you may pursue the complaint if you remain dissatisfied.
