Our complaints process

If we think your complaint is related to lines services, we’ll refer your complaint to your lines company within two working days of receiving it and tell you we have done this (as well as who will be the contact person at the lines company for resolving your complaint). The lines company will then be responsible for managing and resolving your complaint, but we will continue to monitor and facilitate the resolution of your complaint by the lines company.

If we think your complaint is related to our service then from there we’ll contact you directly to work through the issue with you, We will consider the matter you raise with us and will respond in writing within 5 working days of receiving your complaint, either with our decision or a reason why the complaint may take longer for us to consider and continue to update you via email. We’ll monitor your complaint progress regularly to ensure we resolve it with you as soon as possible. We aim to resolve all complaints within 20 working days. If it takes us longer than 20 working days to resolve your problem, then we’ll contact you to let you know and to give you further options.

If you’re not satisfied

We’re a member of the Energy Complaints Scheme operated by Utilities Disputes Limited, which is a free and independent complaints resolution scheme. If for some reason you are dissatisfied about the resolution of your complaint, or we can’t resolve your complaint or problem within 20 working days, you can take your complaint to:
