The Financial Ombudsman Service offers a free independent service for resolving disputes regarding most financial matters. You have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service free of charge but you must do so within 6 months of the date of this letter.

If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if the Ombudsman believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.
