If we haven’t completed our investigation within 8 weeks of initially receiving your complaint or you are not happy with the resolution we have offered, you may ask the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) to review your complaint. Should you decide to go to the FOS, you should do so within 6 weeks of our final response.

You can also escalate your complaint to an agreed Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider (ADRP) if you don’t wish to contact the FOS or if you are not eligible to do so.

You must enclose a copy of the final resolution that we issued to you along with your reference number and quote “One Call Claims Limited” as the reference. The Financial Ombudsman Service can help with most complaints if you are;

  • a customer
  • a business with an annual turnover below £6.5m and fewer than 50 employees or an annual balance sheet below £5m
  • a charity with an annual income of less than £6.5 million
  • a trustee of a trust with a net asset value of less than £5 million

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is the UK’s official expert in resolving complaints within the financial services industry. Complaints can be brought by, or on behalf of, customers (or potential customers) who are private individuals, micro-enterprises and small to medium size enterprises (small to medium size enterprises can bring complaints to the ombudsman as long as they have an annual turnover below £6.5m and fewer than 50 employees or an annual balance sheet below £5m).

If we agree to appoint an Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider (ADRP) you can make your complaint within 12 months after receiving our final resolution letter. A list of ADRP’s can be found through the trading standards website.

You can find further information at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

The European Commission under EU regulation has provided an online dispute resolution platform to help you raise a complaint. If you bought your policy online, you can make a complaint at the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution website. Just so you know, this doesn’t replace the service offered by the Financial Ombudsman Service.
