The FOS is an independent body that arbitrates on complaints about general insurance products. It will only consider complaints after you have been provided with written confirmation that the internal complaints procedure has been exhausted. In order for the FOS to review your case, you must send your complaint to them within six months of the date of our final correspondence to you.
Your statutory rights are not affected if you choose to follow any of the complaints procedures above. For further information about your statutory rights contact your local authority Trading Standards Service or Citizens Advice Bureau.
You can also register a complaint with the European Union’s Online Dispute Resolution platform (or ODR). Their website is http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The ODR will simply pass your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
If we are not able to meet our responsibilities, you may be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). You can contact them at:
7th floor Lloyds Chambers
Portsoken Street
London

The level of protection for non-compulsory insurance claims is 90% of the value of the claim with no upper limit.
The above complaints procedure is in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer. For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards Service or Citizens Advice Bureau.
