If you are at all unhappy, first of all talk the problem through with us or your employer - whoever you think is at fault. Many problems are caused by simple misunderstandings, and can be put right quickly and easily this way. But if you feel that you want to take matters further, we have an official complaints procedure outlined here... |
|
Your first step is to put your complaint in writing to whoever you think is at fault - either your employer or this Fund. Please make sure you do this within six months of the problem taking place, as your complaint can only be looked at later than this in special cases. |
