You can raise a complaint by reaching out directly to an L&C member of staff, or in writing via:

L&C will keep a record of your complaint, including the date of when the complaint was received, in order for progress to be documented and to ensure timescales are clearly established.

What happens next?

L&C aim to provide an initial response with acknowledgement of your complaint within 2 business days.

A member of staff will be assigned to your complaint, and will seek to provide an acceptable resolution, or agree on an appropriate form of remedy, within 20 business days. 

Acceptable resolutions and remedies may include an apology (including an explanation of why our service fell short of expectation), a correction or practical solution which allows for the restoration of service, or in appropriate circumstances, the award of compensation.

In exceptional circumstances, where a complaint cannot be resolved within 20 business days or you are not satisfied with the proposed resolution, complaints will be escalated to a Company Director.
