How Your Complaint Will Be Handled

01

Within 3 Business Days

If your complaint is resolved by the end of the third business day after receipt, you will receive a written Summary Resolution Communication confirming the resolution and relevant escalation information.

02

Within 5 Business Days

If more time is needed, you will receive a written acknowledgement within five business days confirming receipt, the understanding of your complaint and who is responsible for handling it.

03

After 4 Weeks

If the complaint is still ongoing, you will receive either a Final Response Letter or an update explaining why more time is needed to reach a conclusion.

04

After 8 Weeks

If a full response has still not been provided, you will receive an update explaining the reason for the delay, when a final response is expected and the relevant Financial Ombudsman Service rights.

Complaint Response Times

If a complaint is resolved by the end of the third business day after receipt, Orchard Financial Solutions Ltd will confirm this in writing with a Summary Resolution Communication.

If more time is required, written acknowledgement will be provided within five business days. If the complaint remains ongoing after four weeks, you will receive either a Final Response Letter or an update. If a full response has still not been provided after eight weeks, you will receive an update explaining the delay, when a final response is expected and the relevant referral rights.

Why Timescales Can Differ

For this complaints procedure, a business day is Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding public holidays. A complaint submitted outside these hours or on a non-working day is treated as received on the next business day.

Financial Ombudsman Service

If you are not satisfied with the final response, or if the applicable response period has passed without a final response, you may be able to refer an eligible complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

For most eligible complaints, a referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service normally needs to be made within six months of the date of the business’s final response. The final response should explain the applicable referral rights and time limit.

Eligibility Matters

The Financial Ombudsman Service can only consider complaints that fall within its jurisdiction and meet its eligibility and time-limit rules. Its website explains who can complain and the types of financial complaint it can consider.
