Consumer complaint
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you – preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Citizens Advice – Consumer will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
Other redress
E.g. about noise, pollution, etc or if one licence holder should complain about another. Please contact us in the first instance.
