Ombudservice

 

Complaints Resolution

Developing long-term relationships is the foundation of our commitment to delivering high-quality service to our members and to the general public.

It is important that you are happy with the service we provide; however, we recognize that things can sometimes go wrong. As a result, we have implemented a formal complaint resolution process to deal with these situations.

If you have a complaint about the service we provide or the products we offer, we want to hear from you. If you are not satisfied with how League Savings and Mortgage Company has handled your complaint, you can seek involvement of the third-party Ombudsperson. The Ombudservice can be used by anyone – not only customers of League Savings and Mortgage Company.

The Ombudsperson seeks satisfactory resolution of complaints with a view to fairness and does not advocate for either the individual or League Savings and Mortgage Company when investigating disputes. This service is free of charge to the individual.

Complaints Process

In most cases, your concern will be resolved quickly by providing us with the details. Talk to an employee of League Saings and Mortgage Company. If they can't resolve the problem to your satisfaction within 5 business days, they will refer your complaint to a Supervisor, Manager or Director.
A Supervisor, Manager or Director of League Savings and Mortgage Company will review and respond to your complaint within 20 business days in writing.

If the complaint has not been resolved, the designated employee will send the complaint to the Manager Retail Deposits and Compliance who is the designated senior position for dealing with complaints. The complaint will be reviewed, and a report will be provided to the client within 56 business days of first receiving the complaint.

If you are not satisfied with the results of the League Savings and Mortgage Company Ombudsperson’s effort to resolve your complaint, you may then contact Ombudsperson for Banking Services and Investments. This office is independent from League Savings and Mortgage Company, and its purpose is to review your personal and business complaints where you are not satisfied with the resolution proposed by the League Savings and Mortgage Company Ombudsperson.
