Customer Relations staff play no part in managing any of our schemes and will look at your complaint on your behalf. They will investigate your case for you objectively and will normally report back to you within 15 working days.

  • If we have still not dealt with your concerns, you can ask your MP to take up your case with us or pass your case to the relevant minister or the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration (the Parliamentary Ombudsman, who is entirely independent of the Government).
