Investigation
The Customer Resolutions Department will work with the relevant department managers to establish the nature and scope of your complaint, having due regard to the Financial Conduct Authority's direction:
Deal with complaints promptly and fairly
Give complainants clear replies and, where appropriate, fair redress
Eligibility
It is our policy to treat all complainants the same. However, certain types of complaints fall within the scope of FCA rules and consequently within the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service.
FCA Complaints Rules
Complaints made by, or on behalf of, an eligible complainant: Eligible complainants are essentially individuals and certain small businesses. The complainant must relate to the provision of or failure to provide a financial service or a redress determination and; The complainant must allege that they have suffered, or may suffer, financial loss, material distress, or material inconvenience.
Final Response
This will set out clearly our decision regarding the complaint and the reasons for it. If any compensation is offered, a clear method of calculation will be shown.
Where appropriate, we are required to include details of the Financial Ombudsman Service in the final response. If dealing with an eligible complainant and a regulated activity, we will:
Explain that the complainant must refer the matter to the Ombudsman within six months of the date of this letter or the right to use this service is lost
Indicate whether we consent to waive the relevant time limits.
Complaints settled within 3 business days
Complaints that can be settled to your satisfaction within 3 business days can be recorded and communicated differently. Where we consider a complaint to be resolved to your satisfaction under this section, we will promptly send you a Summary Resolution Communication, being a written communication from us which:
Refers to the fact that you have made a complaint and informs you that we now consider the complaint to have been resolved to your satisfaction;
Tells you that if you subsequently decide that you are dissatisfied with the resolution of the complaint, you may be able to refer the complaint back to us for further consideration or alternatively refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Indicates if we consent to waive the relevant time limits (where we have discretion in such matters)
Provides the relevant addresses of the Financial Ombudsman Service
Refers to the availability of further information on the website of the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Closing a complaint
We will consider a complaint closed when we have made our final response to you. This does not prevent you from exercising any rights you may have to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
What to do if you are not happy with our decision
If you have a regulated consumer credit contract arranged by us and are not satisfied with our Final Response, you may be eligible to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman.
