Make a complaint

If Your complaint is about the way in which the policy was sold to You or whether it meets Your requirements, You should contact the insurance broker who arranged the policy for You or if You did not use an insurance broker to arrange the policy then You should refer the matter to Pen Underwriting.

It is our intention to provide you with a high level of customer service at all times. If there are occasions when we do not meet your standards please contact us.

If we can resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within 3 business days we will do so and we'll write to you to confirm (a business day is defined as Monday to Friday, but excluding BankHolidays).

If we have not been able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within 3 business days, we will keep you updated with progress and provide you with our decision as quickly as possible. This will be in the form of a final decision letter from our Customer Relations Team.
