Complaints about our service that we can and cannot consider

We can consider complaints about the standard of service we provide. This includes promptness, politeness and professionalism.

You may complain about the way we have handled a complaint against a pension provider or financial service provider, but not about its outcome.

We cannot comment on the facts or outcome of a complaint investigation against a pension provider or financial service provider. This includes the outcome of mediation, or the Ombudsman's decisions and determinations about:

  • whether we look into a complaint about the conduct of financial service provider or pension provider
  • whether to uphold, substantially uphold, partially uphold, or reject a complaint
  • what compensation to direct, if any.

How we will respond to a complaint about our service

  • We will investigate complaints fairly and impartially.
  • Your complaint will be investigated by a different team from the one whose service you are complaining about.
  • We will log your complaint and acknowledge receipt within 3 working days.
  • We aim to complete our investigation within 20 working days. If that is not possible, we will keep you updated of our progress.
