If you're a micro business and you haven't been able to sort things out within 8 weeks, or you can't agree a way forward with your broker (this is called 'deadlock'), you have the right to refer your complaint to the Energy Ombudsman.
The Energy Ombudsman helps to sort out disputes between brokers and their customers. Their service is free to use and they're totally independent. They don't take sides and their decisions are based only on the information they have.
You don't have to accept their decision, but if you do, your broker will act on what they say - whether that's them saying sorry, explaining what's gone wrong, fixing the problem, or even sometimes paying you compensation.
