Our service promise to you

When you contact us about a complaint, we will try to resolve it before the end of the next working day.

If we’re unable to do this, we will write to you within 5 working days to:

• Confirm receipt of your complaint
• Tell you who will be handling your complaint

We will provide you with a response as soon as we can. At regular intervals we will advise you of the progress that we have made.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gives us 8 weeks to respond to your complaint. We aim to respond to your complaint before this deadline.
 

If you're still not happy
If you're still not happy with the response to your complaint, you can ask for your complaint to be independently reviewed by the Financial Ombudsman Service:
 

By post
The Financial Ombudsman Service
Exchange Tower
London E14 9SR
 

By telephone
0800 023 4 567
 

Online
www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

The Financial Ombudsman Service provides a free, independent review service. If you have not referred your complaint to Black Horse first, you will not be able to refer your complaint to the Ombudsman. We will provide details of how to contact the Ombudsman when we send you a response to your complaint.

Building strong and lasting relationships with our customers is important to us. Sometimes things can, and do, go wrong and when this happens we encourage customers to tell us about it so we can aim to put things right.

We are committed to transparency and publish details of the complaints data we last reported to the Financial Conduct Authority. View the complaints data for firms associated with the Black Horse brand.
