What happens to your complaint
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.
