    Not unnecessarily, it so everything is crystal clear and saves me time going back and forth to different places. Im not asking them to do anything extra, just their job that they get paid at

    It is unnecessarily. I'm sure you're perfectly capable of writing a letter and putting it in the post box.

    The FOS is not a mail redirection service.

    You can use any channel that the companies accept. Check their website for details of how to make a complaint.

    They told you they were dealing with your complaint.

    That is not off-fobbery.

    i understand that but 60 days after i sent a complaint 3 weeks ago adds to 81 days in total!

    That is ridiculous. FOS say 8 weeks is the max

    They say that 8 weeks is ideally the max. PPI departments are a little busy at the moment, so delays are to be expected.

    There's nothing to be gained by slowing down the process further by involving FOS at this stage.

    I suspect they mean "60 days from the receipt of your complaint" not "60 days from us sending this email."
