Make a new complaint
Answer a few questions online to check you are ready to send your complaint to us and make a new complaint using our online forms.
You need to contact the financial business you want to complain about first, and give them a chance to resolve things, before submitting your complaint to us. If you haven't done that yet, read our step by step guide to complaining.
Contact us with an enquiry
- If you have sent us a complaint and we’ve let you know we’ve received it, we will contact you once your complaint is with a case-handler.
- If your complaint is already with an investigator, and you have a question about progress or sending in further information, you should speak to your investigator direct. Their contact details are on their emails or letters.
- If your circumstances have changed and you are facing severe ill-health or financial difficulty, or you need to speak to someone urgently, please let us know as soon as you can.

Call our helpline
Our phone lines are open between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. At times, you might need to wait to speak to someone. Mondays are usually our busiest days – so if you can, please call on a different day to avoid longer waiting times.
