Please note:
The FOS can help micro-enterprises and small businesses
which are defined as follows –
◦a micro-enterprise is a business which:
◦has a turnover or annual balance sheet that does not exceed €2 million
◦employs fewer than 10 persons
◦a small business is an enterprise which is not a micro-enterprise has an annual turnover of less than £6.5 million, has a balance sheet total of less than £5 million, or employs fewer than 50 employees
They can also assist charities with an annual income of less than £6.5m and trusts with a net asset value of less than £5m; and individuals who act as personal guarantors for loans to businesses they’re involved in.
If you’re a small business, they can only look at your complaint if it relates to events that occurred on or after 1 April 2019. But if you’re a micro-enterprise, they may be able to help with complaints about events before that date.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is an agency for arbitrating on unresolved complaints between regulated firms and their clients. Full details of the FOS can be found on its website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/
