Complaints Procedure
We take all complaints seriously and are committed to handling them fairly, promptly, and consistently.
Complaints Procedure
Our Commitment
At Total Claim, we take great pride in maintaining a high standard of service for all our clients. However, we recognise that there may be instances where expectations are not met. Our commitment is to handle complaints fairly, promptly, and consistently. While our primary goal is to resolve issues at the initial point of contact, should this not be possible, the following procedure outlines how you can submit a complaint to us.

For a more efficient process, kindly provide detailed information, including your preferred resolution for the issue.
Our Response Times
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 7 working days.
Within 8 weeks, you will receive either:
- A final response adequately addressing your complaint; or
- An update explaining why a final response is still pending, along with an estimated timeframe. You will also be informed of your right to escalate the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are dissatisfied with the delay. The communication will include details on how to contact the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Redress
If redress is deemed appropriate, fair compensation will be provided. Redress may not always be monetary but could involve an alternative form of resolution or an apology.
Escalating Your Complaint
Should you remain dissatisfied with our response or if the complaint remains unresolved after eight weeks from acknowledgment, you may escalate your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service at no cost, provided you do so within six months of receiving our final response letter.
Failure to refer your complaint within this timeframe may limit the Ombudsman’s ability to consider it, unless exceptional circumstances apply.
