If you’re not completely happy with our service we’d like to hear about it so we can do something to put it right. We do everything we can to make sure our customers get the best products and service possible. However, sometimes we may not get things right first time. When that happens we want you to tell us what went wrong so we can put matters right.
We want to:
· make it easy for you to tell us what went wrong;
· give your complaint the attention it deserves;
· resolve your complaint fairly without delay; and
· make sure you are satisfied with how your complaint was resolved.

How long will it take?
We aim to resolve complaints straightaway but if we can’t, then we will write to you within five business days to tell you:
· why we have not resolved your complaint;
· who is dealing with your complaint; and
· when we will contact you again.
We will aim to resolve your complaint quickly but it may take longer if it is complex. We will keep you informed on a regular basis but if you need an update please call us FREE on 0800 9755757 and ask to speak to the person handling your complaint.
If we can’t agree a solution with you within eight weeks, we will:
· Send a letter explaining the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a final decision; or
· Issue our final decision letter which will explain our final position.
