If you would like to make a formal complaint, then you can read our full complaints handling procedure. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint
The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.
Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaints to the Legal Ombudsman:
- Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint to us
- No more than six years from the data of act/omission; or
- No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
