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 help with financial services products, or want to know more about your rights, please contact FSA Consumer Help:

url www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer
telephone Telephone FSA Consumer Helpline - 0845 606 1234 (call rates may vary)
address The Financial Services Authority,
25 The North Colonnade,
Canary Wharf,
London
E14 5HS

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:

url www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
telephone Telephone: 0845 080 1800 (call rates may vary)
address The Financial Ombudsman Service,
South Quay Plaza,
183 Marsh Wall,
London
E14 9SR

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:

telephone Telephone: 020 7892 7300
address The Financial Services Compensation Scheme,
