All complaints are recorded on Our Complaints Log.


Upon receiving the complaint, the complainant will be sent a prompt written acknowledgement providing early reassurance that the complaint has been received and is being dealt with. The complainant will be kept informed of the progress of the measures being taken for the complaint's resolution.

We will aim to send the complainant a written statement providing the findings within four weeks of receipt of the complaint.

If the complaint is more complex, an explanatory holding response will be sent advising that additional time is required to investigate the complaint. CHFinance Complaints Officer will provide a final response within eight weeks or a further explanatory letter advising of the details for the further delay. This letter will inform the complainant that he is entitled to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if he is not satisfied with the delay.

Where complaints are resolved by the close of the third business day, a summary resolution communication will be sent promptly to the complainant.

Once the complaint has been investigated to a standard we are satisfied with, the findings will be reported to the complainant and the complainant's response will be retained.


Record Retention

We will keep a record of each complaint received and the measures taken for its resolution, and retain that record for a minimum period of:

  • At least 5 years where the complaint relates to MiFID business; and
  • Three years for all other complaints.

Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)

The final response letter sent to the customer will give the address and other contact details of FOS and include a copy of the FOS's standard explanatory leaflet so that if the complainant is unsatisfied with the resolution of the complaint, he has the opportunity to pursue the complaint via the FOS scheme within six months of the date of the final email received from us.

For further information on the FOS, please see: http://www.financialombudsman.org.uk/

The record will detail the Firm’s response and any actions taken. Actions will also be recorded in the Complaints Rectification Log. These logs will be monitored to provide Management Information, allowing any recurring issues to be identified and resolved.
