Financial Ombudsman Service
If you’re dissatisfied with our response, you can ask the Financial Ombudsman Service for an
independent review free of charge, but you must do so within six months of the date of MAB’s
final response letter.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will only consider your complaint once you’ve tried to
resolve it with us, so please take up your concerns with us first and we’ll do all we can to
help.
The FOS is also only able to consider certain categories of complaint, for example complaints about
Buy to Let mortgages, which are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority will normally be
outside the jurisdiction of the FOS.
In addition, the FOS might not be able to consider your complaint if:
- What you’re complaining about happened more than six years ago, and
- You’re complaining more than three years after you realised (or should have realised) that
there was a problem.
If your complaint was made outside of these time limits, which is a matter for The Ombudsman to
decide, The Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be
able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if it believes that the delay was as a
result of exceptional circumstances.
