There are two ways you can complain, either over the phone or via one of our written communication options, letter or direct email.

Over the phone

You can call us between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Charges may apply when calling from your phone, check your price plan or non-standard price guides to find out.

Please remember that calls may be monitored and recorded for training purposes. From a UK landline 08713329189

Calls from other phones will cost twenty pence per minute plus the phone company’s Access Charge.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can ask us to reconsider the issue. You have the option to discuss the issue with a Team Leader/Manager. If your complaint still is not resolved after speaking to a Team Leader/Manager, then you can escalate to our specialist technical team or complaints team depending on your complaint type.

Letter or direct email

Over the phone is the quickest way to resolve your complaint, however if you prefer you can also raise a complaint by sending a letter or emailing us directly. The table below contains the contact information for each option.

Contact Ombudsman Services

Stage 1

You can get independent advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Consumer Advice Centre and Trading Standards. Whilst we are happy to work together with the above independent organisations, if you decide you need their help to resolve your complaint, we will always want you to come to us first, as most problems can be resolved quickly this way.

Stage 2

If after contacting us we have not resolved your complaint within 8 weeks or if there is a deadlock situation, you may refer your complaint to Ombudsman Services, free of charge. Deadlock arises when we believe we have done everything we can to resolve your complaint but cannot reach an agreement with you.

You must have followed our escalation process before you can request a deadlock and we will be unable to send a deadlock letter if we are still working to resolve your complaint or if your complaint falls outside the remit of Ombudsman Services.

Ombudsman Services is an independent dispute resolution scheme, approved by Ofcom. Please ensure that you read Ombudsman Services guidelines to ensure that your complaint satisfies the conditions for referral. If your complaint satisfies these conditions, then you must contact Ombudsman Services within six years of first complaining to us. In a case of deadlock, then you must contact Ombudsman Services within 12 months of deadlock being issued.

When your complaint goes through Ombudsman Services, an independent assessor will review your complaint and make a decision about how to settle it. Details of the service are available by contacting us or Ombudsman Services directly: Ombudsman Services: Communications PO Box 730 Warrington WA4 6WU Tel: 0330 440 1614 Website: https://www.ombudsman-services.org/complain-now.
