Why the Complaints Form is so important

If you have already sent us documents, you may be wondering why we have asked you to complete the TPO Complaints Form.

The Complaints Form is a compulsory part of the complaints process. It is not the role of TPO to assume or interpret issues a consumer may wish the Ombudsman to consider.

The submission of a Complaints Form also allows us permission to obtain the Agent's file which we use to review your complaint.

Your form will be returned to you if all sections are not completed.
