Complaints Handling Procedure

We take your complaints seriously and aim to resolve all complaints fairly and within 5 working days. If you want to complain about the service contact our customer services team. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, or if we have written to you explaining that we are at "deadlock" you can refer the dispute to the Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman ("Otelo"). Otelo is an ombudsman service approved by Ofcom that provides a free and independent service that investigates disputes between communications providers like us and domestic and small business customers provided that you have gone through our complaints procedure first and so long as the dispute itself is within Otelo's remit. You can contact Otelo: Through their website: www.otelo.org.uk By email: enquiries@otelo.org.uk By telephone on: 0330 440 1614, 01925 430 049 or 0845 051 1513 By post: Otelo PO Box 730 Warrington WA4 6WU
