Complaints to the Legal Ombudsman
We hope that you will use our procedure. However, if you would rather not do so, or are unhappy with the outcome, you may have the choice of taking up your complaint with the Legal Ombudsman. You can write to the Legal Ombudsman at:
Legal Ombudsman, PO Box 6806, Wolverhampton, WV1 9WJ
Tel: 0300 555 0333
Website: http://www.legalombudsman.org.uk
As set out on the Legal Ombudsman’s website above, there may be a time limit applicable to any complaint you may wish to make. Ordinarily you can ask the Legal Ombudsman to look at your complaint if it meets all three of the following criteria: (i) the problem or when you found out about it happened after 5 October 2010; (ii) you are referring your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within either of the following: six years of the problem happening or three years from when you found out about it; and (iii) you are referring your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of any final response from your service provider.
The decision data on the Legal Ombudsman’s website can be accessed here.
