3 day – Summary Resolution Communication (SRC)
We aim to resolve all complaints informally within three working days. Where this is done, we will send you an SRC setting out what we have done to resolve your complaint.
5 day acknowledgement
If we can’t resolve your complaint informally (see SCR above) we will acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days and let you know who will deal with you complaint and the next steps. We will keep you advised of the progress of our investigations and in all cases we aim to provide a final decision in writing within 8 weeks. If we can’t we let you know what we have done and the reasons why we have not been able to conclude our investigations.
Independent review*
If you are not satisfied with our final response to your complaint, or the reason why we have been unable to provide a final response, you may be eligible to refer your complaint to an external dispute resolution (EDR) service. You have 6 months from the date of our final response to refer your complaint to the EDR service. A referral will not affect your right to take legal action against us. The contact details of EDR service are set out below.
