If your complaint is unresolved after 8 weeks
Naturally we want to resolve your problem immediately. When you contact us to make a complaint we will apologise and provide you with an explanation or confirm what actions need to be taken to assist you, this may include a goodwill gesture or compensation.
If you have followed steps 1 and 2 above, and your complaint is still unresolved at 8 weeks, or if we have issued you with a deadlock letter, you have a right to contact Ombudsman Services: Energy.
Ombudsman Services: Energy
The Ombudsman offers a free, independent service where customer and supplier cannot reach final resolution. They may require us to take practical action that may benefit you, offer an apology or explanation, and/or make a financial award. Their final decision is binding on the energy supplier, not you as the customer or complainant.
