Dispute And Complaints Resolution

We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible service. If at any time we have not met our obligations – or you have a complaint about any of our services – please inform us so we can work towards a resolution. Our internal dispute resolution process provides that your complaint will be handled efficiently, honestly and fairly.

The complaint need not be in writing and may be presented by any reasonable means, for example, letter, telephone, email or in person. Please ensure you give us full particulars of your complaint.
