Complaints

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns. If that doesn’t help, or quite simply you feel that is not appropriate, then you can make a formal complaint. You can read our full complaints procedure here.
