What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint
If we are unable to resolve the complaint with you then you can have the complaint independently looked at by the Legal Ombudsman.
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 complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:
- No more than one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or
- No more than one year from the date when you should have realised that there was cause for complaint;
and - Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint.
