How to make a complaint
You should first make your complaint to the financial services business concerned. They have up to three months to investigate and respond to your complaint.
If you are unhappy with their reply or have not received a satisfactory response within three months, you may be able to make your complaint to the ombudsman.
More information is available on the CIFO website. Alternatively, you can contact CIFO directly.
