Complaints
If you have a complaint or dispute in relation to any aspect of the Scheme, you should raise the matter with Fidelity in the first instance.
If, having raised matters for the Trustee's attention, you do not feel your concerns have been adequately dealt with, the Trustee has an Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure that should be followed. A copy of the procedure may be obtained from the Library section of this site.
The Pensions Ombudsman
The Pensions Ombudsman may be able to investigate any complaint or dispute that the early resolution service is unable to resolve for you. Contact with The Pensions Ombudsman about a complaint needs to be made within three years of when the event(s) you are complaining about happened – or, if later, within three years of when you first knew about it (or ought to have known about it). There is discretion for those time limits to be extended. The Ombudsman can be contacted at:
