Complaints

We are constantly striving to enhance the experience our customers have with us. So if you've got a complaint, we'd like to hear about it so that we can improve our service in the future and work to fix what went wrong in your individual case.

How to complain

Details of what went wrong. Please give us as much detail as possible. Where necessary please include the dates of your interactions with us and key events which are relevant to your complaint.
How can we contact you? Just in case we need to speak to you further, please include some contact details and a preferred method of contact (e.g. phone or email).
