Complaints Procedure

We endeavour to offer the highest level of service, but if something does go wrong, here's how we'll fix it.

We endeavour to offer the highest level of service throughout the duration of your contract However, if something does go wrong and you want to make a complaint, we will investigate any issues and aim to rectify any issues promptly, where possible.

We embrace any feedback and continually look to improve. However, if a customer feels dissatisfied with any element of our service, we welcome the opportunity to put things right.

We would like to think that it would not be necessary to go beyond the first step, however we understand that in very rare circumstances you may need to present your case where the end result leaves you unsatisfied. Our complaint service is impartial and free for the clients to use. Any customers making complaints will be treated with courtesy and respect.

Step 1: Making a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction with the service received by Cheaper Business Services. A complaint may be made by email or telephone. Please provide as much detail as possible about the reasons for your complaint and the outcome you would like to see. We retain copies of all complaints received.

  • Email: energy.complaints@cheaper.business
  • Call: 0333 335 0531 Option 3 for the Energy Department

Step 2: Acknowledgement

We will send you a written or electronic acknowledgement of a complaint within five business days of receipt, identifying the person who will be handling the complaint for the business. Wherever possible, that person will not have been directly involved in the matter, which is the subject of the complaint, and will have authority to settle the complaint.

Step 3: Holding Response

Within two weeks of receiving a complaint we will send you either a final response which adequately addresses the complaint; or a holding response, which explains why we are not yet in a position to resolve the complaint and indicates when we will make further contact with you. If we do not hear from you within a timescale of 7 days after issuing our final response, we will assume that you are satisfied with the outcome and close the case. Any follow on from this point would need to be in the form of a new complaint.

Step 4: Further Response

If you are not satisfied with our final response, we will be happy to consider a further response, but in the absence of new evidence or material flaws being evident in our findings, it is unlikely to change the outcome of our investigation.

Step 5: Final Response

We will send you a final response which adequately addresses the complaint no later than eight weeks from receiving a complaint.

Step 6: Ombudsman

If you are unhappy with our final response, you may use the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman. You can also use this service in the unlikely event that the complaint has not been resolved within eight weeks of submission.

Their website is: https://www.disputeresolutionombudsman.org/dispute and gives more information about the service they provide and the various ways they can be contacted. The ADR scheme is impartial and free to use.

Important Financial Disclaimer

If the ombudsman does not hold up in the favour of the customer, Cheaper Business Group Ltd retains the right to invoice for our costs incurred taking part of the ombudsman's investigation at this point plus administration and other fees we may consider necessary to recoup our losses in this matter.

Any non payment will result in the engagement of debt collection which may carry further fees and costs.
