Complaints data

Occasionally we do not always get things right and our service falls short of the high standards our customers are entitled to, which result in them making a complaint. There is a strong focus within Royal London to deal with customer complaints effectively and efficiently and Royal London has a commitment to ensure that we investigate all complaints that are made. The complaint handling process is very important to Royal London as it provides the opportunity to sort something out that has gone wrong and also gives us a valuable source of customer feedback.
