Consumer Care’s role
ComReg’s Consumer Care aims to inform consumers on communication issues and escalate complaints made to electronic communications (“ECS” – broadband, home phone, and mobile phone), postal, and premium rate service providers (“PRS”).
Making a complaint to ComReg about your ECS or PRS service provider
To lodge a formal complaint with our Consumer Care Team, you must first go through the following steps:
1) Make a formal complaint to your service provider (ECS/PRS)
- You first need to make your complaint formally and obtain a complaint reference number from your service provider.
- Service providers are allowed 10 working daysto resolve your complaint.
- If you have repeatedly attempted to contact your service provider to make a complaint formally without success, ComReg may intervene directly with the service provider on your behalf.
2) Wait 10 working days for your complaint to be resolved
- If your complaint remains unresolved after 10 working days,you may request ComReg’s assistance in resolving the complaint.
- Contact our Consumer Care team once 10 working days have passed
- ECS complaints must be raised with the service provider within 12 months of the event. All PRS complaints must be raised with the service provider within 3 months of the event.
