Other Options to Try if Your Complaint Is Not Resolved
Depending on the nature of your complaint, some options may be available if you are unable to obtain a satisfactory resolution by complaining directly to the company. Here is a look at those options.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution is an out-of-court process in which both sides of an issue work to resolve the problem through the help of an independent third party such as a mediator. Other forms of ADR include arbitration, in which both sides present their case to an independent party who then makes a legally binding decision on the matter.
The Financial Ombudsman Service
If your claim involves an issue such as an improper charge on your credit card, you may be able to receive assistance in resolving the matter through the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service involves investigating consumer complaints about financial matters and intervening if it is discovered that the customer was treated wrongly in a financial matter.
It costs nothing to file a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service, and a complaint can be made by either:
- Filling out an online complaint form.
- Calling 0800 023 4567 between the hours of 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday through Friday, and 9 AM - 1 PM on Saturday.
Small Claims Court

The process involves paying filing fees, as well as paying for the services of a professional to assist you with your claim. The maximum amount you can seek to recover through a claim in small claims court is £10,000 in England and Wales, £5,000 in Scotland, and £3,000 in Northern Ireland.
