Outcome

I do not uphold Mr L’s complaint against the Trustee.

Mr L’s complaint against the Company is partly upheld, but there is a part of the complaint I do not agree with. To put matters right (for the part that is upheld), the Company will pay £500 to Mr L to recognise the significant distress and inconvenience it has caused him.
