A shorter 21 day timeframe applies to complaints about financial hardship and debt collection. If we can’t resolve your complaint within these timeframes, we’ll tell you the reason for the delay, give you a date you can expect to hear an outcome and continue to update you on the progress.

You can allow someone else to manage your complaint for you, for example, a friend or family member, a legal representative or financial counsellor. We’ll talk to your representative after we have your permission.

Will it cost me anything to complain?

We won’t charge you any fees for handling your complaint.
