It’s rare for problems to get to this stage, but if we’re not able to sort things out to your satisfaction within our internal process, then there are several different bodies you can go to for independent help depending on where you live.
The Energy Ombudsman is an independent body that adjudicates between consumers and energy companies if your complaint is unresolved after eight weeks, or if you’ve been unable to reach a resolution with us and have been issued with the relevant signposting letter.
You can find contact details for independent help on our�website.
5. Final Review
If you remain unhappy with the resolution we have offered then ask for your case to be escalated for a final review and if we feel we have done all we can we will issue you with the appropriate sign posting letter that will allow you to take your case to the energy Ombudsman.
