Financial ombudsman service - leave it alone and go directly to court

The average bloke in the street would be terrified of the idea of taking an insurance company to court and the costs he might have to face. The FOS gives that person the chance of redress when he feels he's been treated unfairly.

Darias, you're obviously a fairly sophisticated and affluent character and what you have chosen to do might well be best for you, but not for the majority who post on here.

Dunno about that - most "sophisticates" wouldn't go to the expense of suing a solicitor unless certain of the outcome!

No - they would use the Legal Ombudsman, which is also free.
