3. How We Handle Complaints
We aim to ensure all complaints are:
-
listened to and investigated properly
-
handled consistently and fairly
-
acknowledged promptly and recorded accurately
-
resolved in a timely and appropriate way
-

We will acknowledge your complaint within two working days. We aim to provide a full response within five working days.
If we need more time to investigate, we will write to you within five working days to explain why, and we will aim to provide a final response within a maximum of 30 days.
4. If You Are Not Satisfied
If you are not satisfied with our initial response, please let us know as soon as possible. Your complaint will be reviewed by a more senior member of our team, who will reassess the matter and update you on the outcome.
If you remain dissatisfied, you may wish to seek independent advice or support. (If you’d like, tell me which regulator/sector body you want referenced here and I’ll tailor this section accurately for MFA.)

When you make a complaint, you consent to us using the personal information you provide for purposes connected with investigating and responding to your complaint.
We will only share your personal information with third parties where it is necessary to investigate the complaint, and where you have given us permission to do so. Providing permission at the outset may help us resolve your complaint more quickly.
