Complaints data
Although we are committed to the highest standards of client service with everyone we help, we recognize that sometimes things can go wrong. When it does, we encourage our clients to tell us, and we try to put things right as quickly as possible.
We then analyze the information we gather from client feedback and use this to highlight improvements we can make to our service in the future.
As we are authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), every six months we are required to submit information to them about any complaints we have received, closed and found in favor of the clients.
