Our Complaints Code of Practice
How to complain about our broadband, home phone and other home or office services
If you're a Plusnet residential or business broadband or home phone customer, here's how to contact us.
By phone or chat
The fastest way to let us know if you're not happy with your service is by using Plusnet Chat or contacting us by phone (0800 432 0200, 7.30am - 10pm every day). You can raise a complaint via either of these methods and these are the best ways to get a quick resolution to any issue.
Online Ticket
If you prefer to contact us in writing, you can do this via an online ticket (you'll need your account username and password). A member of our team will investigate and respond to your complaint within 5 working days.
By letter
If you prefer, you can make a complaint by writing to the address below.
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.
Once we receive your letter we will respond within 10 working days. If you need a quicker response, please use one of the other methods mentioned above.
Our address is:
Plusnet plc
The Balance
2 Pinfold Street
Sheffield
S1 2GU
If your complaint is about our mobile services as well, there's no need to raise this separately. Just try to give us enough information so we can find your Plusnet Mobile account as well. So things like your account number, postcode and mobile number.
Please note that if you contact us by phone, chat or the Help Assistant, we won't be able to help with mobile queries there and then. But we'll aim to get back to you within the timeframe below.

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 or Live Chat, 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.
What we'll do and when
Our aim is to resolve any problem as quickly as possible, preferably during a phone call or online chat 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 the Help Assistant (except for mobile complaints), or within 10 working days to any letter of complaint. We’ll always try to resolve your complaint immediately, but whatever happens, we'll keep you regularly updated.
What to do if you're still not happy
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
WA4 6WU
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.
