Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
Mrs K’s complaint against HCC 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, HCC shall pay Mrs K £500 for the significant distress and inconvenience she has experienced.
My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.
