Have you made a formal complaint to the Scheme Member?

Sorry, you must make a formal complaint to the scheme member first, and give them up to three months to respond. If you haven’t heard back or are unhappy with the outcome, FDR may still be able to help with your complaint.

Yes No

 

Do you have a deadlock notice, or have you reached the end of the complaint process with the financial service provider?

Has the financial service provider agreed to go to FDR?

Yes No

 

Sorry, complaints can only be considered by FDR after they have been raised with the financial service provider first. Generally the organisation has up to three months to respond to a complaint. A dispute may be brought to FDR earlier than the three month period if both you and the financial service provider have agreed to it.

You can bypass the complaint process and bring your dispute straight to FDR, as long all of the parties involved in the dispute agree to it. You don't need to have a deadlock number or wait for the usual three months to pass before bringing the dispute to FDR. This can be a good way to deal with complex disputes.
