Publication of Complaints Data
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) requires all companies regulated by them to publish high level information relating to complaints. The information is published twice a year for the period 1 January to 30 June and 1 July to 31 December and includes the number of complaints opened and closed, the percentage of complaints closed within eight weeks of being received and the percentage of complaints upheld by the firm. We have also published the number of complaints per thousand accounts as recommended by the FSA, which, for the period 1 July to 31 December 2012 was on average 3.14 complaints per thousand accounts per month.
The FSA also requires firms to breakdown the nature of such complaints into product categories. Currently all complaints received by Vanquis Bank relate to Banking.
