I gather that some claims are taking this long, but that the Financial Ombudsman are trying to speed things up at present.

Hi Mandamoo and welcome to the forum, sadly I think because of the upsurge of claims over the last 18 months both by the general public as well as by claims firms the ombudsman is inundated at present. I know that the FO themselves have said it could take up to 18mths for resolution, so hang in there and fingers crossed it will be sorted soon, good luck.
