Make a Complaint
View all 'Make a Complaint'Lloyd’s has set out the process to be followed for international (non-UK) complaints in Market Bulletin Y4961 – International Complaints Handling: Expansion of New Procedures. For French complaints the process to be followed is modified in a number or respects as set out in Market Bulletin Y4961. These changes reflect local regulatory and legal requirements and market practice.
Lloyd’s arrangements for international complaints are intended to allow for the oversight of complaints handling, consistent with the regulatory expectations of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), whilst allowing flexibility for managing agents in the way they handle complaints in accordance with local rules.
