How Foundever will respond to your complaint

Wherever possible, Foundever will attempt to resolve the matter during your initial contact. Where a more detailed investigation is required, or Foundever has been unable to speak with you, Foundever will promptly acknowledge your complaint from the moment Foundever becomes aware it cannot be resolved by the end of the next three business days from receipt and in no situation later than a week from receipt. In this acknowledgement Foundever will provide the name and title of the person that is handling your complaint. This individual will have the authority necessary to investigate and settle the complaint. Foundever will also include a copy of the Complaints Procedure. Where possible, Foundever will provide you with a full response within this acknowledgement letter. If the complaint is received outside normal working hours, it is treated as if it had arrived at the start of the next working day.

Once your complaint has been acknowledged, you will be kept informed of the progress. Within eight weeks of Foundever receiving your complaint, Foundever will send you either a final response with a complaint resolution or a written response which:

• explains why Foundever is not in a position to make a final response to you and when it might be expected to provide one;
• informs you whether you are now entitled to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS); and if so
• encloses a copy of the FOS standard explanatory leaflet.

Financial Ombudsman Service

If you are an eligible complainant, you are able to refer a complaint to the FOS if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint. Your rights are set out in the FOS’ leaflet “Your Complaint and the Ombudsman” which Foundever will provide to you as part of the complaints process. The details of the FOS details are provided below.

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is an independent arbitration service provided free for consumers.

Address: Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London, E14 9SR

Telephone: 0800 023 4567 or 0300 123 9123

Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk

Please remember that if you wish to refer a complaint to the FOS, you must do so within six months of receiving Foundever’s final response.

You should allow Foundever to complete its internal Complaints Procedure before you refer your concerns to the FOS.

Foundever will always aim to resolve your complaint at the earliest time possible and within time limits as set by the Financial Conduct Authority. Foundever is committed to ensuring that all complaints received are handled fairly, consistently, and promptly and that the firm identifies and remedies any recurring or systematic problems, as well as any specific problems identified by a complainant. Foundever will continue to do all it can to learn from the complaints it receives to improve the level of service to you in the future.
