We are committed to providing a high quality Insurance Service to all our Clients. If something goes wrong we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our standards.

Our Complaints Procedure

If you are unhappy with any part of our service, please let us know about it either by telephone or in writing. You should contact the Compliance Dept. or any Director. They can be contacted on 0044(0)207 623 6262 or by fax on 0044(0)207 621 9042, email: complianceofficer2@tysers.com. Any complaint by telephone should be followed up in writing.

If the complaint is by telephone only, the member of staff with whom you are dealing may respond immediately if they have the experience and authority to do so. If they are unable to resolve the matter immediately, then the following steps will be taken.

What will happen next
  1. We will send you a letter acknowledging your complaint and asking you (if relevant) to confirm or explain the details. We will also let you know the name of the person who will be dealing with your complaint. You can expect to receive our letter within 5 working days of our receipt of your complaint.
  2. We will record your complaint in our Central Register and open a file for your complaint.
  3. We will then start to investigate your complaint, this may involve one or more of the following steps:
    • We will deal with your complaint at the earliest possible opportunity and in any case we will let you have a written response within 20 working days of receipt of the complaint.
    • If, however, the complaint is sufficiently complicated to warrant longer investigation, or it requires a review of information outstanding from a third party, you will be advised accordingly.
    • If a response cannot be given within 20 working days you will be informed in writing of the reasons why we have been unable to resolve the complaint and need more time to do so.
    • We will advise you when you can expect to receive our final response.
  4. If you are not satisfied once we have made a decision on your complaint you can write to us again. We will then arrange to review our decision. This will happen in one of the following ways:
    • We will arrange for the Managing Director to review the complaint within 10 days.
    • The Compliance Director will review your complaint within 10 days.
In the case of private Clients and Commercial Clients with a turnover of less than £1 million you have the right to refer the matter to The Financial Ombudsman Scheme (FOS), to which we subscribe, at any time during the Complaints Procedure. Contact details are as follows:-

Non-Related Complaints

If we receive a complaint which does not relate to the General Insurance Product or the General Insurance Activity related service that we have provided, or should more appropriately be referred to a different Company or Organisation, we will advise you in writing within 5 working days of receipt of the complaint and, where possible, provide details of where the complaint should be re-directed.
