⏱️What We'll Do and When

We aim to resolve any problem to your complete satisfaction.Our customer service and technical support advisers will try to do this as quickly as possible, preferably during a phone call or email exchange. If we are unable to resolve the issue immediately, we will explain what we can do next.

Response Time

We aim to respond to complaints made by letter, email, or phone within 10 working days.

Depending on the complexity of the investigation, resolution may take up to four weeks in some cases.

Immediate Resolution

Many complaints can be resolved during a call with one of our customer service advisers.

Regular Updates

We will always try to resolve your complaint straight away. However, if it takes longer to investigate, we will respond and keep you regularly updated on progress.

Escalation

If an adviser is unable to resolve your complaint, we will review it and escalate it internally to the next level within the company.

Final Position

Most complaints are resolved at this stage. If not, we will explain our final position. In some cases, we may issue a deadlock letter, which means there is nothing further we can do.

Manager Review: You may request a manager review at any time if our adviser has not been able to help and has offered to refer your complaint to a manager.

Complaint Levels

1

Level 1 – Customer Service Adviser

First point of contact. We will attempt to resolve your complaint immediately.

2

Level 2 – Manager

If the adviser cannot resolve the issue, it will be escalated to a manager.

3

Level 3 – Final Internal Review

The final internal review stage for complex or unresolved complaints.

Important: To process your complaint, you must follow our complaints procedure. You cannot skip directly from an adviser to Level 2. Our procedure complies with Ofcom regulations.

🔍What You Can Do If You’re Still Not Happy

Please Note: The Ombudsman will not investigate a complaint until it has been fully processed through our complaints procedure.

If you are still not satisfied after following the process above, and we have issued a deadlock letter or eight weeks have passed since your complaint was raised, you may refer the matter to Ombudsman Services: Communications.
