Appeals & Complaints

Appeals

We are committed to dealing with any appeals or complaints as swiftly and fairly as possible. We hope that you have no reason to raise an appeal with us – however, if you do, we want to hear from you so we can address your concerns.

You have a right to appeal:

  • Our decision to classify you as ‘not co-operating’
  • Our decision on your request for an alternative repayment arrangement
  • Our decision to offer you an alternative repayment arrangement which you do not wish to accept

You can appeal in writing at any time up to 22 business days from the date of our letter explaining PTSB’s decision. The appeal letter should be sent to:

The Appeals Board
c/o Customer Resolution Centre
permanent tsb
Church Yard Lane
Douglas
Cork

We will send you a written acknowledgment of your appeal within 5 business days.  The Appeals Board will make a decision on your appeal within 40 business days of your appeal's receipt.  Once the Appeals Board has made a decision on your appeal, it will write to you within 5 business days to advise you of the outcome if it's decision.

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your appeal, you may refer the matter to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is an independent mediator whose services are available free of charge to customers.

Complaints

We are committed to providing our customers with the highest standard of service. If you believe we have not been compliant with the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears (CCMA) or have not treated your case fairly under the CCMA, we will address the issue as quickly and as fairly as possible.

Our promise

You can be sure that we will deal with your complaint promptly, fairly and courteously. We’ll log and fully investigate your complaint and we will correct the situation to the best of our ability so that it doesn’t happen again. If the mistake is ours, we’ll give you an explanation and an apology. 

We aim to resolve all issues where possible on the spot. If the issue requires further investigation we will send you a written acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 business days and give you the name of the person dealing with the issue. If for some reason we haven't resolved your complaint within 20 business days, we will send you a written update.

In exceptional circumstances, where the matter is not resolved within 40 business days we will write to inform you and let you know when you can expect a full reply.

We’ll make every effort to agree a fair and reasonable resolution with you.

If you remain dissatisfied having discussed the matter with us again, you may escalate the complaint to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO)
