- We have already sent you a Summary Resolution Communication or Final Response letter.
- It has been eight weeks since we received your complaint.
If you are not happy with our response and want to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service, you should do so within six months of the date of the Summary Resolution Communication or Final Response letter.

Online Dispute Resolution
The European Commission has established an Online Dispute Resolution Platform (ODR Platform) which you can access here. You may use the ODR Platform to submit a contractual dispute and conduct an Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure online if you are resident in the EU and have a complaint about an online product or service. The platform will then send your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”) for an independent review which you should expect to be completed within 90 days of the FOS’s receipt of your complaint file.
As the ODR platform will ultimately re-direct your complaint to FOS, you may prefer to contact us or FOS directly in the first instance.
