How to make a pet complaint?

Making a complaint can be stressful which is why we give you the option to complain in the way which suits you best.

You can make your complaint over the phone, by email or in a letter.

How soon will we deal with your pet complaint?

You'll hear back from us within five days of us receiving your complaint. In some cases this will be in the form of an acknowledgement letter but in others it may be a full reply.

If you receive an acknowledgment letter it will tell you:

  • Who's dealing with your complaint
  • When we'll contact you again.

Once you receive this your complaint will be investigated fully and we will write to you with our findings.

In complex cases we may need to spend a little longer investigating but we will keep you up to date with our progress. In all cases we'll respond to your complaint within eight weeks in line with the deadline set by the Financial Conduct Authority.

If you're unhappy with the way we're handling your pet complaint?

All our complaint handlers are trained and monitored to ensure they deliver professional service consistently. If you're unhappy with the way your complaint is handled, you can ask for it to be reviewed at a higher level.

The Financial Ombudsman Service

We try to resolve all complaints internally. However, if you're still unhappy with our response to your complaint, or if we've not resolved it eight weeks after you first told us about it, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

If you want the Financial Ombudsman Service to look into your complaint, you must refer it to them within six months of the date of our final response to you. You can contact them at:
