Complaints
We value your feedback and appreciate your input because it helps to improve the services we deliver.
Unfortunately, sometimes we may not meet your expectations. In those instances, we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to resolve your complaint by getting in touch with us.
All complaints are registered, and interactions are recorded, to allow for further investigation. If your complaint is billing related, we will delay debt recovery during the investigation process.
We aim to resolve complaints as quickly as possible, however sometimes we may need additional time. We will always attempt to have complaints resolved within 15 business days and we will contact you by phone, email or in writing, as you prefer.
Whilst we would like to work with you to resolve your complaint, if your correspondence contains personal abuse, inflammatory statements or material clearly intended to offend or intimidate it will be returned to the sender and no action will be taken.
The following will guide you in the complaints process:
