Resolving a complaint

We'll always work hard to find a solution that works for you. And we'll let you know as soon as we think we have a resolution. How long it takes to find a resolution depends on what your complaint was about and how you contacted us.

If you contacted us by phone, we'll try our best to resolve your issue on the call. If you contacted us by web chat, we'll try to get everything sorted during the session. Web forms and mail complaints will take a little longer, but however you contact us we'll strive to find a resolution within 28 days.

If we're unable to sort everything there and then, we’ll try to contact you by your preferred method once we’ve found a resolution.

If this is by telephone, please let us know the best number to reach you on. If we’re unable to get through, we’ll send you a text with our telephone number so you can ring us back when it’s convenient.

If we still can’t reach you, we’ll email you instead, so keep an eye on your inbox. Or, if for some reason we can't email, we’ll write to your home address.

Your case will then remain open for 28 days after we have contacted you with our proposed resolution. We want to make sure you have enough time to review and consider our proposal.

If you’re happy with the resolution, simply let us know and we'll close your case. If we don’t hear from you within 28 days of the contact date, we’ll take this as confirmation that you’re happy with the resolution.

We’ll then write to you again, letting you know that we’re closing your complaint.


Independent Adjudication

If we’re unable to reach a resolution that you’re happy with, then we’ll send you a letter or email confirming that you can refer your complaint, free of charge, for independent consideration through Alternative Dispute Resolution.

This will usually happen if we’re unable to find a solution within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint but can happen before that if we agree that the complaint cannot be resolved to your satisfaction. You can refer your complaint to one of the following adjudication schemes:

TV, broadband, phone or mobile complaints

Communications Ombudsman

Financial services complaints

If you’d like any more help or advice, you can talk to your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) for free. Please keep in mind that this isn’t part of the formal complaint process.
