We will always try to resolve your complaint immediately. However, sometimes this may not be possible. In all cases we will implement the following process:

Complaint Process:

1. Your case reference will be your order/contract number

2. We will give you the name and title of the person handling your complaint

3. We will send you written acknowledgement within 3 working days of receiving your complaint

4. Make contact to seek clarification on any points where necessary

5. Fully investigate your complaint internally and third parties where relevant

6. Keep you informed and fully updated regarding any progress

7. Discuss with you our findings and our proposed response

8. Our aim will be to send you our final written response within ten working days but no later than eight weeks as required by the Financial Conduct Authority

The Customer Resolutions Department will work with the relevant department managers to establish the nature and scope of your complaint having due regards to the Financial Conduct Authority's direction:

• Deal with complaints promptly and fairly

• Give complainants clear replies and, where appropriate, fair redress

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.

• 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

This will set out clearly our decision re 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 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:

1. 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;

2. We will tell 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.

3. Indicates if we consent to waive the relevant time limits, (where we have discretion in such matters)

4. Provide the relevant addresses of the Financial Ombudsman Service.

5. Refer to the availability of further information on the website of the Financial Ombudsman Service.

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.

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.

If relevant, then you can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service – you must do this within six months of our final response. When we send you a final response, we will also provide you with a copy of the Financial Ombudsman Service’s explanatory leaflet.

We will co-operate fully with the Ombudsman in resolving any complaints made against us and agree to be bound by any awards made by them.
