Our commitment to you

It is our aim to provide a very high standard of service to every customer. If you are unhappy, for any reason, with the service we provide to you we would welcome your feedback and the opportunity to put things right. It is important to us that all complaints are resolved as quickly as possible to the complete satisfaction of our customers, and that we learn from any complaints to further improve the quality of our service.

This page explains how we will deal with any complaints we receive. It also tells you what you can do if your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction.

If you have a complaint

If you have a complaint about any aspect of our service then we would like to hear from you. You can contact us by telephone or in writing.

To help us to investigate and resolve your concerns as quickly as possible, you should in the first instance discuss the situation with your Initial Adviser or Personal Finance Team. It will help us to deal with your complaint quickly if you can provide the following information:

  • your full name and address and a daytime contact telephone number;
  • full details of your complaint;
  • your account details and any policy numbers;
  • details of what you would like us to do to put things right; and
  • photocopies of any relevant paperwork.
