When we receive a complaint, we will handle your complaint in an open and transparent manner and will endeavour to resolve your complaint fairly and within 20 days. If we have not resolved your complaint within 20 days we will provide you with a written update as to the reason for the delay, what action is underway to resolve your complaint and advise you of the anticipated timeframe for a response.

In handling your complaint, there are a number of remedies available to us, including but not limited to;

  • An apology or explanation;

  • Liaison with insurers and/or premium funders to find a mutually agreeable outcome to your complaint;

  • Claims advocacy including support to address your complaint via the Insurer internal dispute resolution process.

If you are unable to resolve your complaint with the LB Group, you may refer it to Financial Services Complaints Limited (FSCL), of which all stated LB Group companies are a member. FSCL is an approved independent dispute resolution scheme which handles complaints against financial service providers, including insurance brokers. FSCL is free to consumers and its decisions are binding on all LB Group Companies (but not on you).  

Further information about FSCL is available from www.fscl.org.nz. You may contact FSCL directly on 0800 347 257.
