Making a Complaint

If you do not understand something or you think there may be a problem, ask for an explanation right away. You can often get matters sorted out quickly and easily if you do this.

If I have a complaint what should I do?

Contact the member of staff you originally dealt with. They should be familiar with your case and may be able to clear up any misunderstanding.

If you remain dissatisfied you may wish to make a formal complaint.

It will assist our investigation if you are able to provide the following information:

  • Include any reference numbers (e.g. plan, claim or mortgage account numbers).
  • State your case clearly and include relevant dates.
  • Send copies of relevant documents and hold on to originals.

Please keep a copy of your own letter for your reference.
