Are they sufficiently qualified?
The people I spoke to initially obviously didn't understand the policy I was enquiring about. It was finally corrected but not until I had been misinformed.

It would have been better if;
1. I had been sent the latest quote for my policies and not had to waste time waiting. Every year, up to 65, you sent me 2 packs, then when I'm most likely to want to start a pension, you only send one.
2. Got the impression that it would be quick. No, most likely there's a 6-week delay.
Very good customer service
On all occasions when I have phoned Phoenix my calls have been answered promptly. The staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable.
Difficulties progressing complaint and poor communication.
I have been trying to progress a formal complaint through their complaints department. No action was taken with my first email, nor my second. I phoned and the representative was lucky to speak with the complaints department who said they would make it a priority and assigned someone to investigate. After more than 2 months without a response I called again, the representative could not get anyone in the department to answer, but suggested complaining about not having any communication. When a complaint is received it should be responded to, progress provided at acceptable intervals and complainant given means to communicate with complaints department directly.
