How quickly will Vida Homeloans resolve my complaint?
We always aim to resolve your complaint quickly and fairly, but in some instances, such as a complex case, it may take time to investigate thoroughly. Below are the timescales you should expect when raising a complaint with Vida Homeloans. We will try to resolve your complaint, where possible, within 3 business days. If we cannot resolve your complaint as quickly as we would like to, we will write to you within 5 business days to confirm your complaint is being investigated. A final response will be provided within 8 weeks from the date we receive your complaint, which will include a full explanation of our findings.
What can I do if I am not happy with the response to my complaint?
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you may refer to the Financial Ombudsman Service who provides a free, independent service for customers to resolve disputes with financial firms. The Financial Ombudsman Service will not deal with your case unless you have first given us the chance to assess your complaint and issue our final response to you. If you are a regulated mortgage customer, you will receive a copy of the Financial Ombudsman Service consumer leaflet when we respond to your complaint which outlines the steps you can take if you are not happy with our final response. The Financial Ombudsman Service can be contacted at:
