British Gas Plus Complaints procedure

Step 1 - We want to sort things out for you quickly

Our Business Customer Services Team are ready to help you, so please log in to get in touch. If we can't sort out your complaint right away, we'll give you a unique reference number which you can use when talking to other members of the team.

Step 2 - If you're not happy with how we're dealing with your complaint

Ask our webchat team to put you in touch with a manager. We’ll let you know we’ve received your complaint within 24 hours and get back to you within 10 working days.

Step 3 - If we can't agree a way forward with you

If you're a micro business and we haven't been able to sort things out within 8 weeks, or we can't agree a way forward with you (we call this 'deadlock'), we'll write and let you know you have the right to refer your complaint to the Energy Ombudsman.

If you're not a micro business, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.

You don't have to accept their decision, but if you do, we'll act on what they say - whether that's us saying sorry, explaining what's gone wrong, fixing the problem or even paying you compensation.

I want to complain about my broker

Broker complaints procedure

Step 1 - Speak to your broker

If you have a complaint with your business energy broker, please contact them directly.

Step 2 - If you can't agree a way forward with your broker

If you're a micro business and you haven't been able to sort things out within 8 weeks, or you can't agree a way forward with your broker (this is called 'deadlock'), you have the right to refer your complaint to the Energy Ombudsman.

The Energy Ombudsman helps to sort out disputes between brokers and their customers. Their service is free to use and they're totally independent. They don't take sides and their decisions are based only on the information they have.

You don't have to accept their decision, but if you do, your broker will act on what they say - whether that's them saying sorry, explaining what's gone wrong, fixing the problem, or even sometimes paying you compensation.

If you're not a micro business, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.
