HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH LLOYD’S

Any complaint should be addressed in the first instance to:

Where a complaint is addressed to the Lloyd’s Italian Office in relation to a policy that has been underwritten on a freedom of services basis, the Lloyd’s Italian Office will direct the complaint to the relevant Lloyd’s managing agent who will be responsible for ensuring that your complaint is addressed. The opportunity to address a complaint to the Lloyd’s Italian Office in relation to a policy that has been underwritten on a freedom of services basis does not in any way change the basis upon which the policy was underwritten.

The party who is responsible for dealing with your complaint will acknowledge your complaint, in writing, within five business days of the complaint being made.

It will also aim to provide you with its decision on your complaint, in writing, within forty five business days of the complaint being made.
