Complaints and Dispute Resolution
CTL is committed to providing excellent customer service. Should you have an issue with any aspect of its products, or service, there are a number of ways that CTL will resolve your query. Your first course of action should be to speak to CTL by telephone; and the Company will try to resolve your query there and then. If no-one is able to resolve your issue, arrangements will be made for us to call you at the earliest opportunity. In the event you remain dissatisfied with the solution or explanation offered you are advised to raise a formal complaint in writing to the following;
E-mail Info@chattertelecom.co.uk or by post to Customer Services, Chatter Telecommunications Ltd, 10 parchment street, Winchester, SO23 8AT. Tel:03333239511
CTL aims to acknowledge all letters of complaint within 2 days of their receipt, providing you with a case number, the name and job title of the person handling your complaint. A full response will be sent to you within ten days unless your complaint requires further investigation.
CTL’s objective is to ensure that the issue is resolved promptly, and that corrective action is taken wherever possible to prevent reoccurrence. If you are not happy with the response, then you may ask for the issue to be escalated to the appropriate Director for further investigation
The Company is registered with the Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman (“Otelo”), which is an independent body that has been approved by the communications regulator, Ofcom, to handle disputes between communication companies and their small business customers. If The Company has not resolved your complaint to your satisfaction after eight weeks or if you have received a letter from The Company saying that it has made its final decision on your complaint and has reached “deadlock”, you may make a complaint through Otelo detailed in the following paragraph:
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Procedure
If it has been more than eight weeks from the date you first contacted The Company to complain or you have received a letter saying that your complaint has reached “deadlock”, then you may ask for help from the Telecommunications Ombudsman (“Otelo”), Ombudsman Services is an independent dispute resolution service approved by Ofcom. The job of Ombudsman Services is to sort out disputes between communications providers and their customers, investigating complaints fairly by listening to both sides of the story. They look at the facts given to them before recommending any action needed to put things right.
If at any time you are not satisfied with the progress of your complaint you can ask us to agree an early referral to Ombudsman Services (i.e. that we issue a deadlock letter). However, The Company may decline to do so if it believes it will shortly resolve your complaint and are taking active steps to do so.
