Insurance Ombudsman complaint (after insurer’s grievance route)

Use this only after you have raised a written grievance with the insurer and either received an unsatisfactory reply or none within the stated period. Include your details, policy and claim numbers, a short timeline, copies of correspondence, and the resolution you seek.
