Beyond AXA

If you remain dissatisfied following the final written response you receive, you may be eligible to refer your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

The FOS is an independent body that arbitrates on complaints about general insurance products. You have 6 months from the date of the final written response you receive to refer your complaint to the FOS, and doing so does not affect your right to take legal action.

You can contact the FOS by:

  1. Email at complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk
  2. Phone on 0800 023 4567
