2. Complaints process

2.1       We are professionally obliged to:-

Centrally record all complaints

Write to you within 5 working days of the complaint, acknowledging it and advising you of our policy

Investigate your complaint by fully reviewing your file and all and any relevant documentation

2.2       We will always be clear with you about how we are handling your complaint and will discuss the complaint with you by your preferred manner i.e. face to face/telephone.

2.3       At the conclusion of our investigation we will write to you confirming the findings and how we hope to resolve your complaint. This will ideally be within 21 days of your initial complaint.

 

3. What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint

3.1       The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.

3.2       Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

  • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint

and

  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
  • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
