Complaining

 

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the financial regulatory body in the UK. They set a deadline of 29 August 2019 for submitting complaints regarding the sale of PPI policies. They also provide information about PPI complaints and the deadline, which can be viewed by visiting the FCA website www.fca.org.uk/PPI

 

For complaints received post the deadline, if you can evidence why you were unable to complain in time, we will consider any exceptional circumstances.
