In the unlikely event that you need to make a complaint, please follow our step-by-step guide to our complaints procedure, below, to help resolve your issue quickly and efficiently.

Step 1 – Contact us
Contact our customer service team, 0800 464 3550, open from 9am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday, where you can talk to people who are ready to help and answer any question you may have.
When you telephone us with a problem, our adviser will attempt to resolve matters with you while you are on the call. If we can’t sort out your problem straight away, we’ll let you know how long it may take to resolve your matter.
If you prefer, you can write to us with your problem by e-mail or post as follows:
Ebico Living
Bedford Heights
421 Brickhill Drive
Bedford
MK41 7PH
Please include your name, account number and/or full address so we can contact you back. We may try to contact you by telephone to help with this resolution. Other parties may be contacted to resolve your complaint, for example Rebel Energy, our supply partner.
Step 2 – If you are still not happy
We will firstly pass your complaint onto the operations manager who will review your complaint. We’ll work hard to try and get a result that you’re happy with – but if you’re not, we’ll look into things again and you’ll receive what is called a ‘Final Response’. This means that we haven’t been able to resolve things for you. In the letter, we’ll recap what’s happened and what we have suggested – and give you contact details for the Energy Ombudsman.
To resolve your complaint we will:
- Give you an explanation about what went wrong.
- Put things right quickly.
- Apologise if we’ve made a mistake.
Step 3 – Free independent advice
It’s easy to get independent advice about your energy supply. The Citizens Advice consumer service gives free, confidential and impartial advice. You can get in touch with them for advice at anytime during the complaints process.
Visit: www.citizensadvice.org.uk/energy
Or call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline 03454 04 05 06 (textphone 18001 03454 04 05 06) or submit a query online.
You can also contact Resolver and they will help you with your complaint. Their website is https://www.resolver.co.uk/complaints/energy-complaints.
Step 4 – Ombudsman Services: Energy
If you haven’t received a satisfactory response from us after 8 weeks have passed since you first registered your complaint, you can contact the Ombudsman Services: Energy. You may be referred back to us if you haven’t escalated your complaint via our formal complaints process outlined in steps 1 and 2.
The Ombudsman Services: Energy will carry out a free independent investigation on your behalf. As part of resolving your complaint the Ombudsman Services: Energy may ask us to make an apology or give an explanation. They can also ask us to take remedial action and may require us to award compensation. Any decision the Ombudsman Services: Energy makes will be binding on our company, but not on you, so you can seek further advice if you wish to.
