This one needs a different route
Complaints about banks, lenders and insurers are regulated claims work. Handling them takes FCA authorisation, which we don’t have, so we don’t write them. That’s not us being careful with you. It’s the law about who’s allowed to do it.
Financial complaints go to the Financial Ombudsman
Complain to the bank, lender or insurer first. They have eight weeks to answer. If they say no, or say nothing, the Financial Ombudsman Service reviews it for free and its decisions are binding on the firm. That is a stronger route than anything we could write.
Bought By Many ombudsman & regulator routes
Which ombudsman handles Bought By Many complaints?
Financial Ombudsman Service. Once Bought By Many’s own complaints process is exhausted (after 8 weeks or a deadlock letter), you can take your complaint there for free. Go to the ombudsman. Read our guide to the Financial Ombudsman.
Can you complain to the FCA about Bought By Many?
Not for individual disputes: the FCA sets the rules for the sector but does not resolve personal complaints or award compensation. Complain to Bought By Many directly first and keep written records, then escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service if it stays unresolved after 8 weeks or you receive a deadlock or final-response letter. You can still report Bought By Many to the FCA to flag systemic problems, but that will not get your own money back.
