How to complain
Your complaint should be made in writing addressed to: Head
of Customer Operations, Medicash, One Derby Square, Liverpool
L2 1AB. Please give full details of your complaint. If
there are a number of reasons for your complaint we would prefer to
be told about them at the same time, so we can investigate them at
the same time. Alternatively, you can email claims@medicash.org or
call on 0151 702 0265.
What Medicash will
do
Once we have received your complaint, you will receive an
acknowledgement from us within 5 working days. In
order to thoroughly investigate your complaint we may need to ask
you for further information.
In some instances we may need to get information from third
parties, and have to ask for your permission to obtain some of this
information. If asked to do so, we would be very grateful if you
could let us have this consent as soon as possible. We will contact
you with our conclusions within 8 weeks, detailing
the outcome of the investigation and any fair and appropriate offer
of settlement if your complaint is upheld.
If you are not happy with the outcome of your
complaint
If you are dissatisfied with Medicash's response and have exhausted
Medicash's internal complaint procedure, you can ask the Financial
Ombudsman Service for an independent review. We will enclose a
leaflet titled 'Your Complaint and the Ombudsman', explaining how
to do this. The Financial Ombudsman Service will only consider your
complaint after you've tried to resolve it with
Medicash.
The address of the Financial Ombudsman Service
is, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London, E14 9SR. Tel
0845 080 1800.
