Complaints we can help with
You can find out more about what we look at with different complaints about investments using the links below. We’re still working to make sure we have all the content available, so check back for regular updates to our content.
How to complain
Bringing a complaint to us is straightforward and won’t cost you anything. Find out more about how to complain and our complaint process.
How long it takes
It’s currently taking longer than we’d like to allocate cases to our case handlers for investigation.
For most types of investments complaints, it takes around 7 months for us to allocate cases. It may take longer if your complaint is about spread betting or crowdfunding, where some of the most complex cases we receive can take up to 9 months.
We’re working hard to reduce this wait time, so you may hear from us sooner than this.

- If you’re facing financial hardship or severe ill health, please let us know.
- If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you may also find the Money Advice Service website useful, it contains a list of online debt advice services where you can get immediate and personalised help.
