Complaints-handling Performance of Individual Financial Companies

The Financial Ombudsman Service publishes complaints data about the 160 or so named financial services companies that together make up 90% of the ombudsman's workload.

This data includes the number of new complaints against these companies and the outcome of complaints against each firm shown as the percentage upheld in favour of the consumer.

The uphold rate in favour of consumers in 2011/2012 varies substanstantially from business to business - between 2% and 98%. There has been extensive media coverage of these figures - and what they mean for the better and worse performing financial companies.

Famous quotes containing the words performance, individual, financial and/or companies:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    As a science of the unconscious it is a therapeutic method, in the grand style, a method overarching the individual case. Call this, if you choose, a poet’s utopia.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.
    New Yorker (April 23, 1990)

    In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.
    Gloria Steinem (20th century)
