Complaints

Onpoint Utility Services Limited Complaints Handling Procedure

As a member of Ombudsman Service Energy Broker ADR Scheme, we have in place a Complaints Handling Procedure (CHP), which meets the regulatory requirements. Our Complaints Handling Procedure (CHP) has two stages.

Stage one of the CHP gives our firm the opportunity to review and consider your complaint in full.  Our firm will try to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction.

If you are not happy with our response, you will have the opportunity to take your complaint to stage two. In the few instances where this is not possible, we have subscribed to the Alternative Dispute Resolution Scheme to provide an effective Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme for our customers. This is a completely free service for the customers.

Stage Two gives you the client, the opportunity to have your complaint reviewed and considered by an independent dispute resolution service.
