People Who Make A Complaint To Us
When we receive a complaint from a person, we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint. We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provided.
We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of the person’s record is in dispute.
We usually have to disclose details of the complaint to our Professional Indemnity Broker and Insurer. If the complaint is concerning Data Protection, then the matter may also be referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
We may be required to disclose a copy of our file to the Financial Ombudsman Service should an adjudicator be required to consider the complaint case. We are also required to disclose to the Financial Conduct Authority high level analytics concerning the number and nature of complaints received. This does not include names or details that identify the specific data subject.
We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for ever whilst still authorised by the FCA and whilst still retaining Professional Indemnity Insurance as this is a condition of authorisation.
