Complaints Code

Last updated: October 2026

We want every customer to be happy with our service. If something goes wrong, this code explains how to tell us and what we will do to put it right. Making a complaint is free.

1. How to complain

You can contact us in any of these ways:

Please tell us your company name, your contact details, what went wrong, and what you would like us to do. If you need help making a complaint, for example because of a disability, tell us and we will make reasonable adjustments.

2. What happens next

StepWhat we doWhen
1. AcknowledgeConfirm we have received your complaint and give you a referenceWithin 2 working days

3. RespondExplain what we found and how we will put it rightWithin 20 working days where possible
4. EscalateIf you are not happy with our answer, a director will review your complaintWithin 10 working days of your request

If we cannot resolve your complaint, we will write to you to say so. This is called a deadlock letter, and it will include the details of our alternative dispute resolution scheme and how to apply.

3. If we cannot resolve your complaint

If you are a business with 10 or fewer employees and your complaint is about a phone or communications service, you can refer it to our independent alternative dispute resolution (ADR) scheme:

If your complaint is still open 8 weeks after you first raised it, we will write to you to tell you about this right.

4. Keeping records

We keep a record of every complaint and how we resolved it for at least 12 months. We use complaints to improve our service.
