How to make a complaint

Every case is different, but a clear timeline and well-organised evidence can help the organisation understand what happened.

Keep copies of everything.

Save your complaint, any reference number and every response you receive.

1

Gather your evidence

Collect bank statements, transaction records, messages, emails, screenshots and dates that help explain the events.

2

Contact your bank or provider

Explain what happened in your own words, when you reported it and what action you want the organisation to take.

3

Ask for a final response

Keep a record of the response and the reasons given. If the outcome is not satisfactory, check whether escalation is available.

4

Consider your next options

Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to refer a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service or seek other guidance.
