    At the moment, due to COVID-19, we’re taking a little longer than usual to get back to you.

    To make sure we support vulnerable customers who need our help the most, we’ll look at their complaints first.

    This means it could take over 8 weeks to review some complaints sent through our online form.

    If you need help more urgently, we're here. Please phone or message us through our Mobile Banking app, or visit us in branch. Otherwise, please know that we’re working on your case as quickly as we can.

    To make a complaint online you can use our online form.

    Log your complaint online and one of our colleagues will then call you back at a time that suits you.

    Although we provide you with an e-mail address, you need to be aware that e-mail is not a secure way to get in touch. You might feel more comfortable using our secure online complaint form, where you can provide us with all your details securely in one go.

    If you decide to e-mail us, do not quote any sensitive account information such as your account numbers, we won't be liable for any lost data you supply. To help us resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, please tell us:

  • We'll treat your complaint in exactly the same way whether we receive the complaint directly from you or from a Claims Management Company (CMC). You don't need to use a CMC and they'll typically charge an upfront fee or take a proportion of any compensation you may be due. By coming directly to us you'll not be disadvantaged.

    • We will do all we can to resolve your complaint on the same day.
    • If we do not manage to resolve the complaint within 5 working days we'll write to give you an update and let you know when you can expect a full response.
    • Once all the details of the complaint have been investigated, (we may call you for further details) we will issue a ‘final response’ to your complaint.

    The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gives us a maximum number of days to issue a final response:

    • If your complaint relates to payment services or e-money (e.g. Direct Debit, Online Transaction) we aim to issue a final response within 15 business days after receiving your complaint. Should something outside of our control cause a delay, the FCA gives us a maximum of 35 business days.
    • For all other types of complaint the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gives us eight weeks to issue a final response but we will aim to get your complaint resolved well before this deadline.

  • Halifax is a member of the Financial Ombudsman Service, which offers an independent review service. So, if you're still not happy with the agreement we have proposed, you can ask the Financial Ombudsman Service to look at your case for free.

     We can provide details of how to contact the Ombudsman:

    The Financial Ombudsman Service
    Exchange Tower
    London
    E14 9SR

    Telephone: 0800 023 4 567

    Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk

    Website: www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

    Please note: You may be able to submit a claim through the European Online Dispute Resolution Platform if you live outside the United Kingdom or if you prefer not to deal directly with the Financial Ombudsman Service.

  • We'll do our very best to put things right as soon as you get in touch.

Complaints data

Building strong and lasting relationships with our customers is important to us. Sometimes things can, and do, go wrong and when this happens we encourage customers to tell us about it so we can aim to put things right.
