Our Promise to you

We aim to resolve complaints quickly, if possible, during your telephone call, however some complaints will require a little more time to investigate before a resolution can be found.

For complaints via email and letter where a resolution is not possible right away, we will send an acknowledgement within 2 working days and follow up with a resolution as soon as possible, usually within 14 days. If we are unable to find a resolution within this time, we will send regular updates to keep you informed of our progress.

 

If you are unhappy with the response you have received

If you do not feel that your complaint has been resolved satisfactorily, please contact us. We will see if there is anything further we can do to help you with your complaint to ensure it is resolved.
