We aim to sort out things as soon as we can and we’ll keep you updated along the way.
After four weeks
If we’re still investigating your complaint at 4 weeks, we’ll contact you to let you know.
After eight weeks
We’ll send you a final response. Our aim is to resolve your complaint well before this.
If your complaint is about a payment or a payment service - such as a Direct Debit or account statement - we aim to respond within 15 days. Sometimes we may take up to 35 days to respond. If so, we’ll let you know.
