B2B Energy Complaints Policy
At B2B Energy, we are committed to providing excellent service to our clients. We understand that there may be occasions when you feel that we have not met your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we have established this Complaints Policy to address and resolve any concerns you may have.
How to Raise a Complaint:
Informal Resolution:
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, we encourage you to inform us as soon as possible. You may contact your designated account manager or our customer service team to discuss the issue informally. or Contact paul@b2benergy.co.uk
Formal Complaint:
If the matter remains unresolved or if you prefer a more formal approach, please submit your complaint in writing via email to sales@b2benergy.co.uk Include relevant details such as your account information, a description of the issue, and any supporting documentation.
Complaints Handling Process:
1. Acknowledgment:
Upon receiving your complaint, we will send you an acknowledgment within two working days. This will include the name and contact details of the person handling your complaint.
2. Investigation:
We will conduct a thorough investigation into your complaint. This may involve reviewing relevant records, communicating with involved parties, and gathering necessary information.
3. Resolution:
We aim to resolve complaints as quickly as possible. You will be informed of the outcome, including any proposed resolution, within ten working days of the acknowledgment of your complaint.
4. Escalation:
After 10 days of raising the step 3 complaint, if we are unable to find a satisfactory solution that both parties are happy with, then we will take a break and look with a fresh pair of eyes and try and offer some other solutions.
5. Energy Ombudsman
B2B Energy are part of the Energy Ombudsman Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme. They provide an impartial dispute resolution service to ensure that a resolution is reached. In the unlikely event, that after 8 weeks of trying to find a solution, we have not found a solution that both parties are happy with, we will issue the below email. This means that the complaint is in a state of ‘deadlock’ and an independent resolution is required from the Energy Ombudsman.
