Croner-i is committed to providing an efficient and reliable service for its clients. In order to achieve this, Croner-i keeps up-to-date with technology and employs well-trained, dedicated staff.

On the rare occasions that any part of our service does not meet your full expectations, we have implemented a procedure designed to minimise the inconvenience to our clients and to resolve any complaint in a speedy and satisfactory manner.

• Please send all complaints to clientservices@cronertaxwise.com
• A complaints handler will then be allocated to the complaint and will fully investigate the issues raised
• When the investigation is complete the complaint will be closed with a letter

Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Every complaint received by Croner-i is dealt with in the most serious of manners. Complaints are dealt with in a uniform and professional way, and our policy ensures that the client receives an acknowledgment from the recipient of the complaint within two working days.

Escalation & Satisfactory Resolution

You will be informed and updated on the progress of all complaints. If you are not satisfied with the resolution of any complaints, you can escalate this to your account manager. It is the policy of Croner-i that all complaints are taken seriously and are dealt with in a uniform way and that the client receives an acknowledgment from the recipient of the complaint within 2 working days.

A proposed resolution to the complaint should be issued to the client within 7 calendar days or 28 calendar days for a technical response. If for any reason there is an unavoidable delay in issuing a response to the complaint the client must be informed and a new deadline issued/agreed. All complaints will be dealt with by the Compliance Officer and a designated person will be allocated so they have a definite point of contact. All clients can contact this designated person if they have any questions or queries, or if they wish to inquire about the progress of a complaint.

In line with the rules stipulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, any insurance complaint will be referred to Croner-i Compliance Manager to acknowledge and respond.

Should any client be dissatisfied with the handling of a complaint at any time, they should inform their designated person who can determine the most appropriate person to respond; technical complaints may be appealed to nominated individuals within the Consultancy departments.

If you are dissatisfied having followed all the stages of the above, please write to:

Complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”)

In the event that you remain dissatisfied, if you are an eligible complainant (as defined by FOS), you can refer your complaint to the FOS, free of charge, but you must do so within six months of the date of our final response. If you do not refer your complaint in time, the FOS will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances.

For more information please contact the FOS at:
