How we’ll deal with your complaint
We’ll always try to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, keeping you informed of our progress. The time this takes will depend on how complex your complaint is and how much investigation we have to do.
We will:
- acknowledge your complaint promptly
- provide you with contact information and allocate someone to investigate your complaint who was not directly involved previously
- fully investigate your complaint and send you a detailed reply about our findings, explaining the reasons behind our decision and what action we’ll take to put things right, if appropriate
- update you every four weeks until the investigation is complete
