FAQs

Do you liaise with the Ombudsman directly?

We prepare your submission and you file it via the scheme portal. If you require representation or liaison, mention this when ordering.

What outcomes can we propose?

Apology, refund/reduction, corrective action, and goodwill gestures are typical. We help you frame a proportionate remedy.

Will this replace our internal complaints procedure?

No. You should complete your internal procedure first and issue a final viewpoint where required before escalation.

Can you help if we’ve already submitted?

Yes — we can review and refine your response, add structure, and prepare supplementary exhibits if the portal allows.

We’ll build the chronology, index evidence, and draft your reply.
