Norwich Union and the FSO

[shurl]

Hi all, new member, I am currently disputing the behavior of Norwich Union, who's business behavior beggars belief, I have been in contact with the FSO after sending them two letters the latter a month ago and also sent them emails, none of which they have responded to, not even an acknowledgement, speaking to them was equally poor, quite simply, "we do not know when we will look at your complaint", surely by admitting to this, they are dysfunctional, am I wasting my time involving these people.

 

Cheers

did you complian to Norwich Union.

 

According to their policy if you make a complaint they acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days of receipt.

 

N/U aim to resolve complaiints with 5 working days.

 

And who do we complain to about the FSO????

[shurl]

Followed all of the procedures as layed down by Norwich Union themselves, still no reply, all letters sent by recorded delivery, was forced to speak to them only last week regarding the claim, promised they would call me back to assure me that the matter was now settled, what have I heard, sod all that's what, however only this week received a letter from the CEO Office at Norwich Union, the Ombudsman had written to them, strangely the letter from Norwich union was signed by the Chief Executives Office, no contact name provided, I think they are pathetic.

Shurl,

 

Hi. Sorry you have been let down. Let me know if your complaint hasn't been dealt with yet. I lead the Customer Relations office (the CEO Office). I am really embarrassed that our letter didnt have a contact name. Apologies.

 

Anyhow, if you still need help you can email me at : [email protected]

 

Thanks

If indeed you are who you say you are, you should be fully aware of my cirumstances, and should be reacting appropriately.

Ok, I just cant track the specific complaint without more info. The offer is there to email me should you wish to at any stage. Regards, Darren

Hi there,

 

Been reading this forum and itseems like if a customer complains they get what they want and the FOS always back sthe customer is this true?

 

What if there is no proof of ownership and no substantiation and its not been reported as a loss to the police?

 

Would the FOS over rule the Insurer just beacause of a complaint or would there be a pay out if you complain to the right people?

 

Dazza is it NU or NUD you work for as it seems you are bending over backwards to help people but in reality where do you draw the line?

[DazzaC]

Hi Risky1. The latest data i saw was that the FOS upheld 88% of Norwich Union decisions when the customer had refused to accept the NU decision and had used their right to escalate to the FOS.

I work for NU, and have moved to the Life & pensions side of the business. But, we are all one 'group' including NUD, so any customer with an issue can come to me.

That said, the decision that will be made will be no different to if the customer complains through the usual routes. That wouldnt be 'Treating Customers Fairly', if just by contacting someone 'high up' you get a positive outcome. All I will do is make sure the complaint gets looked at as quickly as possible.

Hope that makes sense? Ofcourse, the ideal for us is to keep all our customers satisfied and not needing to complain!
