If you prefer, you can make us aware of the problem online using our form below.
You'll need to tell us:
- Your personal details

What happens next
Once you have made us aware of the problem, this may meet the definition of a complaint under the guidelines set out by our regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
If this is the case, the below process will apply:
If we are unable to resolve your complaint quickly, we will:
- Acknowledge your complaint promptly
- Assign a dedicated complaint expert who will review your complaint
- Carry out a thorough and impartial investigation
- Keep you updated of the progress
- Do everything we can to resolve things as quickly as possible
- Provide a written response within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint, this will inform you of the results of our investigation or explain why this isn’t possible.
If you’re not happy with our response and feel we’ve not considered all your issues or you can provide further information, please let us know and we’ll be happy to review.
We record and publish data about any complaints that we receive. You can explore the data here.
You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service:
You may also be able to ask the Financial Ombudsman Service to carry out an independent review of your complaint if you remain unhappy. If this is the case, you also have the right to ask them to review your complaint if we’ve been unable to resolve it within 8 weeks. We will provide full details in our response if this is possible.
The Financial Ombudsman Service exists to help resolve complaints when we have not been able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction. The service they provide is free and impartial. Whilst we are bound by their decision you are not, contacting them will not affect your legal rights.
