To help us deal with your complaint as quickly as possible, we recommend including some information to help us find your account. Things like your username, postcode and telephone number of the service you're complaining about are really helpful.

If your complaint is about our broadband, phone or other services as well, there's no need to raise this separately. Just try to give us enough information so we can find your broadband account as well. So things like your broadband username or home phone number.
Please note that if you contact us by phone, we won't be able to help with broadband, phone or other non-mobile queries there and then. But we'll aim to get back to you within the timeframe below.
Our aim is to resolve any problem as quickly as possible, preferably during a phone call with you. However, if we can’t resolve your complaint there and then, we’ll investigate further and get back to you with an update as soon as we can.
If you prefer to contact us in writing, we'll respond within 5 working days to any complaints you make through by raising an online ticket (except for mobile complaints), or within 10 working days to any letter of complaint.
If you're still not happy with our final position on your complaint, you can take the matter to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) by contacting the Ombudsman Services.
Ombudsman Services provides a free, independent service for Plusnet customers who are not satisfied with the final outcome of their complaint.
Ombudsman Services cannot deal with complaints about commercial policy (e.g. our prices, broadband, availability, or our decision to refuse to provide a service following our fraud or credit checks), nor can it deal with complaints from business users with more than 10 employees.
You can refer your complaint to Ombudsman Services for resolution. Ombudsman Services' contact details are:
Address
Ombudsman Services: Communications
PO Box 730
Warrington

Email
enquiry@ombudsman-services.org
Website
ombudsman-services.org/communications
Telephone
0330 440 1614
0330 440 1600 (textphone)
Before contacting Ombudsman Services all complaints need to be submitted to us by one of the methods outlined in the how you can complain section to give us the opportunity to resolve it. Ombudsman Services will not review any complaint which is less than 8 weeks old unless we agree we cannot do anything further and have provided you with a deadlock code.
