Individual Consumer Queries

If you are a consumer with a specific financial services problem, we are sorry but the Panel is unable to deal with individual consumers' problems.

There are other organisations which should be able to help you:

If you want to find out more about different financial products and services, or want to know more about your rights:
Visit Money Advice Service

Money Advice Line – 0300 500 5000

 If you want to know more about the FCA and its policies and whether firms are authorised:
Visit FCA website

FCA Consumer Helpline – 0845 606 1234 

If you have a specific complaint about a financial services firm, regulated by the FSA, you should first take it up with the firm concerned. If you still have a complaint, you should contact the Financial Ombudsman Service:

Visit the Financial Ombudsman Service

Telephone: 0845 080 1800 (call rates may vary)


If your financial services firm was authorised, but is now unable to pay - usually because it has gone out of business - there is a safety net for customers who have lost out. For more details contact the Financial Services Compensation Scheme:

Visit the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Telephone: 020 7892 7300
