How you’ve been affected by this
A contact phone number and email address

What happens next?

We'll be in touch within 3 business days from the date of receiving your complaint with an update on our investigations and attempt to resolve your complaint at the earliest possibility.

How to receive an update

If you need an update on a complaint in progress, please get in touch using the contact details above or the details stated in the letter or email we sent you.

Forwarding your complaint

If Shieldpay has reasonable grounds to be satisfied that another respondent may be solely or jointly responsible for the matter alleged in your complaint, we’ll forward it (or relevant part of it as the case may be) in writing to that other respondent and inform you promptly in a final response of why the complaint has been forwarded and include the other respondent’s contact details.

Where Shieldpay is jointly responsible for fault alleged in the complaint, we’ll comply with our own obligations in respect of that part of the complaint that has not been forwarded.

How to escalate a complaint

If you're not happy with our final response as an, eligible complainant, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service within 6 months of the date of our Final Response, free of charge.
