How to file a complaint

BDIL aims to provide a simple and transparent complaint submission process, guided by a clear, well-documented procedure. If you are not satisfied with our service, you can submit a complaint by completing the complaint form available on our website.

What information is needed to file a complaint?

To investigate a complaint efficiently, BDIL requires the following information:

Your personal details (name, business name, email, phone, etc.), as all formal communication will be via email or your preferred contact method
Policy numbers or any other relevant customer reference numbers (e.g., ID codes, claim, quote, etc.)
Complete details of the complaint, including date, events, individuals involved, and any other pertinent information
Your preferred resolution for the complaint

Complaint handling

Once a complaint is received, BDIL’s team will acknowledge it within a 24–48-hour timeframe as part of our accountability practices. Complaints will be addressed and investigated by subject matter experts and answered within 15 days after they are received, or within 30 days if the level of complexity is higher.

Actions undertaken will be explained to the complainant along with the outcome of the investigation.

In case the resolution of the complaint can’t be provided within the established timeframe, updates will be sent, including the actions that have been taken and the new expected resolution date.

Method for appealing

In case a complainant is not satisfied with the response given to address the complaint, a new review process may be requested. If the outcome is still unsatisfactory, the complainant may request guidance on how to escalate it to the Authority.
