What we’ll do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Usually we deal with complaints ourselves, but sometimes we’ll need to pass them on to your insurer. We’ll investigate your complaint and respond as quickly as possible. If you don\u2019t agree with our decision, you can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), the independent service that settles complaints between consumers and financial service providers. They will only look at your complaint after we\u2019ve given you our decision, but in most cases we can solve the problem before it gets to this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
