If you still remain unhappy:
You reserve the right to have your complaint heard by the Financial Ombudsman Service if you remain dissatisfied with our conclusion to your complaint. You can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service at any time however the Financial Ombudsman Service will only commence their investigations once we have had the opportunity to investigate the complaint and issue our final response. The Financial Ombudsman Service rules state we have 8 weeks to investigate customer complaints however we aim to conclude our investigations much sooner than this.
