Energy Bargain Limited is responsible for making sure all their representatives are fully trained on their complaints and escalation procedures.


Our complaints process:


Step 1


If our Customer Service team can’t resolve your complaint within one working day, our Customer Care team will get in touch. This team will then update you every 3 working days, or sooner where they can, until the complaint is resolved.


Step 2


If you’re unsatisfied with our Customer Care team’s progress, you can escalate your complaint. One of our agents will pass your case to a senior member of staff to review. Please email shah@utilitybargain.com and we’ll respond within three working days.


Step 3


If your issue’s still unresolved after eight weeks, or we reach a deadlock, we’ll let you know. Depending on the size of your business, you may be able to approach Ombudsman Services: Energy (OSE) at this point. See further details below.
