The FOS provides a free and independent service that arbitrates on complaints about general insurance products. The FOS is available to any ‘eligible complainant’ including any consumer, micro-enterprise, small business, guarantor, charity or trust, details of which can be confirmed on its website: www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk.
You have six months from the date of the final response letter to contact the FOS. However, the FOS will only consider your complaint once you have tried to resolve it with your insurer or insurance broker.
If your complaint is reviewed by the FOS, all regulated firms will be bound by their decision, if you accept it. Following the Internal Complaints Procedure and seeking a review from the FOS does not affect your right to take legal action.
