Mentor 110 Queen Street Glasgow G1 3BX Tel: 0800 634 7001 (Relay UK 18001 0800 634 7001 ) Email: mentor.complaints@mentor.co.uk
Note, additional personal information should not be included in this message for security reasons. We will respond by telephone or in writing for the same reason.
How long will it take? We aim to resolve your complaint straight away. However, if we have not been able to do so within one week, we will write to tell you:
In most cases, complaints are dealt with within two weeks. If your complaint is particularly complex, it may take longer to resolve. We will contact you regularly until your complaint has been resolved.
If we cannot reach an acceptable resolution to your complaint within eight weeks, we will either:
send you a letter giving our reasons for the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a resolution; or
issue our final response letter, which will explain our final position. At this stage you will receive a leaflet explaining your referral rights to the Financial Ombudsman Service if your complaint is eligible.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is an independent organisation looking to sort out complaints that customers and financial businesses haven’t been able to resolve between themselves. If you want to contact the FOS, you’ll need to do so within six months of receiving our final response letter.

You have the right to refer any disagreement between you and us to arbitration. The arbitrator will be a solicitor or barrister or another suitably qualified person that you and we agree on. If we cannot agree, the arbitrator will be nominated by the president of the Law Society (or other similar organisation) for the part of the Territorial Limits whose law governs the insurance policy. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on you and us. Whoever loses the arbitration will pay for all costs and costs of the arbitrator.
