What to do if you have a complaint

If you have a complaint about a search or any aspect of our service, please contact us as follows:

As soon as we receive your complaint

  • We will acknowledge in writing within five working days of receipt. If your complaint was not made in writing, we will also confirm our understanding of the complaint made.
  • We will try to resolve your complaint fully within 20 working days. If there are valid reasons why it may take longer to consider your complaint, we will keep you fully informed in writing (or via telephone or email if you prefer) and provide a response within a maximum of 40 working days.
  • We will also liaise, at your request, with anyone acting on your behalf.

After we have investigated your complaint

Once we have completed our investigation we will send you a final response about your complaint in writing, supported by reasons for our decision.

If you are not satisfied with our final response

If you are not satisfied with the final response or we have exceeded the response timescales, you may refer your complaint to an ombudsman service.
