Complaints Policy
Complaints Procedure
This Complaints Procedure outlines how to raise a complaint regarding any claims management service we have provided that is regulated under the Compensation Act 2006.
1. How to Make a Complaint
You can make a complaint to us using any reasonable method, including by telephone, email, or in writing. Complaints may be made about any regulated claims management service we have provided.
2. Our Complaints Process
A) Acknowledgement
We aim to resolve all expressions of dissatisfaction as quickly as possible. If we can resolve your complaint within 3 business days, we will not usually send a written acknowledgement.
If your complaint takes longer than 3 business days to resolve, we will send you a written or electronic acknowledgement within 5 business days, confirming the person handling your complaint.
B) Investigation
Your complaint will be investigated by someone not directly involved in the issue and who has the authority to resolve the matter.
Within 4 weeks of receiving your complaint, we will send you either:
-
A final response addressing the complaint in full, or
-
A holding response explaining why we are not yet able to resolve the complaint and when we will next contact you.
C) Our Decision
Within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint, we will send you either:
-
A final response addressing your concerns and outlining your right to refer the matter to the Claims Management Ombudsman (CMO), or
-
A response explaining why we are still unable to provide a final decision, the reason for the delay, when you can expect a final response, and confirmation that you may refer the complaint to the CMO if you are dissatisfied.
Where redress is appropriate, we will offer fair compensation for any act or omission for which we are responsible. Redress may include financial compensation, an apology, or another suitable remedy.
3. Appeal to the Claims Management Ombudsman (CMO)
If you remain dissatisfied after receiving our final response — or if we fail to respond within the required timeframes — you may escalate your complaint to the Claims Management Ombudsman.
