  • Additionally, if you are an eligible complainant with a policy underwritten by Newline Underwriting Management Limited or Newline Insurance Company Limited, you may also refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) should you wish to do so. We will send you a leaflet explaining how to do this. The use of the FOS does not prejudice your legal rights.
  • If you are not happy with the outcome of our investigation once we have issued you with our final response, and if you are an eligible complainant, you will be able to refer your complaint to the FOS. Again, a leaflet will be provided at the relevant time explaining how.
  • You are an ‘eligible complainant’ if you are ‘a consumer, a micro enterprise or a charity or trust(ee) with an annual income or asset value respectively for the latter two, of less than GBP 1 million’.
  • A ‘micro enterprise’ is defined as ‘an enterprise which: (a) employs fewer than ten (10) persons and has a turnover or annual balance sheet that does not exceed EUR 2 million.’

For further information on referring a complaint, and to help you decide if you are an eligible complainant please contact the FOS at:
