What happens next if your complaint was about Travel Insurance 4 Medical?

We take complaints very seriously and will acknowledge receipt of your comments within 24 hours. After that we will begin an investigation and return to you with a resolution as soon as we can - usually within five days.

In rare circumstances your complaint may need further investigation. If that's the case we will let you know and try to resolve your case within four weeks. You will receive clear updates throughout the investigation process.

Whilst we do not handle complaints about claims or assistance you can expect a similar standard from your insurer too.

Resolving your complaint

If following an investigation we agree that your grievance is legitimate, we will get in touch with you to explain how we plan to rectify the situation and the measures we have put in place to ensure the same thing doesn't happen again.

Escalating your complaint

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you can ask us to take another look at your comments. That may be a good idea if you have new information that wasn't made available to us when you submitted your original complaint.

Alternatively you could ask the Financial Ombudsman Service to review your complaint. The FOS is a free and impartial service created by the government to resolve disputes between financial businesses and their customers.

If you choose to take your comments to the FOS, we will give you all the information you need. Or you can email complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk and find out more by calling the FOS on 0800 023 4567 or visiting www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumers/how-to-complain. This must be done within 6 months of our final response. The FOS will inform you directly of its decision. Referral to the FOS will not prejudice your right to take subsequent legal proceedings.
