Customer Complaints Procedure
A complaint is any contact from, or on behalf of, a customer or potential customer who is not satisfied with any part of our service.
Resolving your complaint:
Sometimes, we make mistakes; please let us know so that we can correct them. You can contact us using one of the options below.
Phone: 0203 086 8225

Write: AquaSwitch, Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, BH16 6FA.
Our Account Managers are trained to resolve things for you straight away. If they can’t, they’ll connect you with your Executive Account Manager, who is dedicated to fixing the problem for you. The resolution of your complaint might include actions to put our mistake right, an apology, an explanation, or compensation.
We aim to resolve eight out of ten complaints within two days. We expect to be able to resolve most other complaints within three weeks, but we’ll tell you if we can’t. With your permission, any complaint not resolved within 7 days will be escalated to the Independent TPI code manager, who may decide to intervene on your behalf, depending on the severity of the complaint.
Reviewing your complaint:
If you’re not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint or with how we’ve handled it, we will carry out an internal review of your case. We’ll look into how we’ve handled it and the resolution offered.
We will let you know the outcome of the review and the reasons for our decision. The review will normally take less than two working days to complete. If we agree to carry out other actions following the review, we will let you know how long it will likely take.

The Ombudsman offers an independent service that is free to use. If you don’t accept the outcome of our internal review, you can contact the Ombudsman.

The Energy Ombudsman will carry out an independent investigation on your behalf. Any decision reached by the Ombudsman that you accept is binding on us, not you. As part of resolving your complaint, they may ask us to do one or more of the following: apologise, give an explanation, and take action to correct things for you or award compensation.
