Escalation and evidence

If you do not get a satisfactory response, you can escalate. The right route depends on the sector and whether the firm uses an ADR/ombudsman scheme.

  • Sector: mobile-broadband
  • Regulator / ombudsman / ADR: Ofcom regulates the sector; eligible unresolved complaints can be escalated to an approved ADR scheme (e.g. CISAS) after 8 weeks or deadlock
  • Typical wait before escalation: Telecoms providers normally have up to 8 weeks to resolve a complaint before ADR becomes available, unless a deadlock letter is issued earlier.
  • Evidence that helps: Account number, customer reference, bills/statements, contract details, screenshots of charges or service issues, and correspondence.

Your letter should request a written response and set a reasonable deadline.
