Time limits for complaints to Legal Ombudsman
In the first instance you should complain to us. If you are not happy
with our response then you may complain to the Legal Ombudsman. Your complaint
should be made:-
a) No longer than 12 months from the incident which gave rise to your
complaint. Alternatively this 12 month time limit starts when you first became
aware of the cause for the complaint.
b) No longer than 6 months from our written response to your
complaint.
c) Alternatively if you complain to us and have not had a response
within 8 weeks you are entitled to raise your concerns with the Legal Ombudsman
at that stage.
There are certain exceptions to all these rules and the full details

cause to complain but if you do we will try and deal with your issues promptly,
efficiently and fairly.
