There are some complaints we cannot consider, but JLM will explain to you if this is the case.
If you’re dissatisfied with our service or the advice you receive, JLM will initially attempt to resolve the matter informally if you are happy for them to. If JLM can resolve the matter within 3 business days of receipt, they will send you confirmation. JLM will also let you know about the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) at this time.
If JLM are unable to resolve the matter quickly to your satisfaction, or you would prefer a formal process, they have a detailed complaint-handling process to ensure they can investigate and respond to your complaint thoroughly and fairly. This is process is summarised further below.
Initial acknowledgement
Upon receiving details of a complaint, JLM will contact the complainant to establish the full details of the complaint, including the people involved, the cause of dissatisfaction, and any actions that can be taken to minimise the loss.
JLM will provide details of the investigating officer and how to contact them. This will be followed up with a written acknowledgement.
Investigating complaints
JLM will review records and discuss your concerns with everyone involved. Sometimes they need to liaise with third parties such as lenders or solicitors, which can take more time, and they may require your authorisation to do so. JLM will keep you informed throughout.
Responding to your concerns
Having thoroughly assessed the complaint and established the amount of any financial compensation owed, JLM will send a final response letter to the complainant.
JLM will make every effort to ensure that the investigation and assessment of a complaint are completed as quickly as possible. If the investigation cannot be completed within six to seven weeks of receiving the complaint, either directly from the complainant or through a third party, JLM will send an interim response explaining the situation.
If JLM has not provided a final response within eight weeks of receiving the complaint, the complainant may have the right to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The complainant may also be able to refer the complaint to the FOS if they remain dissatisfied with JLM’s final response.
The Financial Ombudsman Service can generally consider complaints relating to residential mortgages, Consumer Buy-to-Let mortgages and personal protection policies. It may not be able to consider complaints relating to other Buy-to-Let or commercial mortgages. JLM will confirm whether the complainant is eligible to refer their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Where a final response has been issued, the complainant must normally refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service within six months of the date of JLM’s final response. If the complaint is not referred within this timeframe, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be unable to consider it.
