Definition of a complaint

Any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not, from, or on behalf of, a person about the provision of, or failure to provide, a financial service, which:

(1) alleges that the complainant has suffered (or may suffer) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience and (2) relates to an activity of that respondent, or of any other respondent with whom that respondent has some connection in marketing or providing financial services or products, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service in the UK.

Definition of a complainant

There is no definition of complainant but only a consumer defined as “an individual or a legal entity that purchases products or uses services for purposes other than conducting business with such products or services” is eligible to refer a complaint to the local EDR service.
