Let us put things right


Sorry if we got something wrong.

Let us know what's happened, and we'll do our best to fix it quickly. We can usually resolve a complaint within two working days.

How we sort things out

  •  Understand what's gone wrong – and why
  •  Explain the situation to you
  •  Let you know what happens next – and how long it should take
  •  Find out how you'd like us to put things right
  •  Fix the problem – taking your views into account, and keeping you up to date every step of the way!

Day 1: Make your complaint

Please send your complaint to our Customer Services Team by Text: 07445118556(1) or WhatsApp: 07480802942(1) or if you're a desktop user simply scan the QR code to text our team. View other contact options.

Include your EDF account number, and tell us:

  • What the problem is
  • How it affects you
  • What you'd like us to do about it.
     

You can then get on with your day, while one of our experienced advisors investigates. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Day 10: Take your complaint further

If we haven't fixed things for you within 10 days, please get in touch with our dedicated Complaints Team. Their specialist skills can resolve even the trickiest of problems. Email ComplaintResolution@edfenergy.com or call 0333 200 5101(2) Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm

Day 20: Take your complaint to the top

Our CEO Simone Rossi cares about your complaint – so send him an email if your complaint is more than 20 days old to SRossi@edfenergy.com. He and his senior team will do everything they can to put things right.

Day 40: You get a specialist complaints handler

It's very rare that we can't find a solution within 40 days. But if your complaint reaches this stage, we'll send you an official letter that gives you the phone number of your own specialist complaint handler, who's there to help you with your complaint
 

We're confident we're the right people to help you with your complaint. We know that sometimes you may want to seek help from a third party. This could be due to the fact that you've received a deadlock letter from us.
 

Ombudsman Services: Energy

We always try to reach an outcome that you're happy with, but sometimes that's not possible. In these cases, you'll be sent a 'deadlock' letter. If you've received a deadlock letter it has been over 8 weeks since your complaint was logged with our team.

You can then contact the Ombudsman Services for Energy, which is a free and totally independent service. Decisions made by the Ombudsman are based on the facts available and may take up to 12 weeks. This is because they will need to look at your case from the beginning to decide on a final outcome.

If the Ombudsman finds that EDF has not acted correctly, then they will tell us what we need to do in order to put things right. This could be an explanation and/or apology. It could include what actions we need to take, which could include compensation. The decision made is binding on us but not on you.
