We'll record your complaint and will call you within three business days to try resolve your concerns quickly.

If we can't resolve the matter within three business days of receipt we'll look into your complaint in more detail. We'll write to you to acknowledge your concerns and give you a complaint reference number and contact number should you wish to contact us.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sets out rules and guidance relating to the fair handling of complaints. This includes following certain timescales to respond to your complaint, which means we have up to eight weeks from when we receive your complaint to fully investigate it and provide you with a final response in writing.

While the FCA allow us eight weeks to resolve customer complaints, we'll usually provide you with our full written response within 20 business days. If we're unable to do so, we'll let you know when you can expect a response.

If you're still unhappy after we've investigated your complaint through our internal complaints procedure, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Their contact details are:

The Financial Ombudsman Service
Exchange Tower
London
E14 9SR
Tel: 0800 023 4567 (calls are free on mobile and landlines)

If the Financial Ombudsman Service is unable to review your complaint, we can direct you to an alternative dispute resolution service. Please contact us at complaints@benenden.co.uk if you'd like more information.
