An experienced complaints handler will manage your complaint. Where appropriate, this will be someone who was not directly involved in the matter which is the subject of your complaint. They will either have authority to settle your complaint or have easy access to someone who does. Our response will fully address the subject matter of your complaint and, if appropriate, will offer redress or compensation.

If you phone us during our investigation and the member of staff handling your complaint is not available, then another member of our team will be able to help you.


How long will it take to resolve my complaint?

Some complaints are more complex than others and may take some time to investigate. We’ll send a written acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 business days of receiving it.

If we are unable to resolve your complaint within 4 weeks of receiving it, we will write to you explaining why and let you know when we will contact you again.

If we have not resolved your complaint within 8 weeks of receiving it we will:

  • write to you explaining why we have not done this and confirm when we will contact you again, and
  • give you details of your right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (if you are eligible).

Referring your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be eligible to take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. They provide a free, independent and unbiased assessment of complaints referred to them. We will let you know if you are eligible to do this. As long as you accept their findings, the Ombudsman’s decision is binding on VitalityLife. You are, however, still able to take private legal action if you do not agree with the Ombudsman’s decision.

The Financial Ombudsman Service can be contacted at the following:

Our Complaints Volume

In the interest of transparency, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires all firms receiving 500 or more reportable complaints over a six month period, to publish their complaints figures.

VitalityLife treats all customer complaints seriously and works hard to ensure that we learn from them. We strive to understand and address the underlying cause of every complaint in order to improve the overall experience of our customers.
