Lloyd's Spanish Policyholders - How to Make a Complaint

If you wish to make a complaint please check your policy for details of the person to contact.  Alternatively contact your broker or if the complaint relates to a claim contact whoever has been handling your claim to inform them of your dissatisfaction.

What is a Complaint?

The DGS defines a complaint as :

A complaint shall mean any complaint submitted by a user of a financial service due to delays, neglect or any other failing in the functioning of the financial institution against which the complaint is filed. It also includes complaints, with a view to obtaining compensation for the harm to the user's interest or right, for specific facts about acts or omissions, which are detrimental for the user and that arise from breaches of the regulations on transparency and customer protection, or of good practices in financial business.

A complaint must be submitted to the insurer in writing in order for it to be considered a complaint.
