Complaints handling procedure

Introduction

At Marshmallow we aim to provide the highest level of service to our customers.
However, we appreciate that there may be occasions when customers wish to make a complaint or express dissatisfaction about the provision of, or failure to provide, an adequate level of service. The procedure set out in this document has been established to deal with this eventuality and comply with the FinancialConduct Authority (FCA) consumer complaint handling rules.

Who to contact

If you feel dissatisfied with any aspect of the service you have received from us, we welcome your feedback. If you wish to make a complaint please contact complaints@marshmallow.com.

During office hours, you can also contact us via live chat on the Marshmallow website, using the following link: https://www.marshmallow.com/help, or in your Marshmallow Account if you have a policy with us: https://account.marshmallow.com/login.

Timescales

We will issue you with a final response to your complaint within eight weeks of receipt of your complaint. Our complaint handling timescales are below:

Within 10 days
We will send a written acknowledgment of your complaint within 10 working days of receipt of your complaint. If the nature of your complaint is unclear, we may write or call you to clarify the area(s) of concern.

Within 8 weeks
We will send you our final response to your complaint or explain to you the reason for further delay and indicate when we expect to be in a position to issue you a final response.

Final response and referral

Furthermore, if you continue to remain dissatisfied with your outcome, you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), free of charge. You will have 6 months from the date of our final response email to refer to Ombudsman. If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and they will only be able to review in very limited circumstances.
