Letter to complain to an energy supplier

Your details

These details will appear on your letter.

Put your street, town and postcode on different lines.

If it’s not a UK number, include the country code. If it’s a landline, include your area code.

Energy supplier’s details

For example, British Gas or ScottishPower.

Check your bills to find their address. Put the street, town and postcode on different lines.

Is there a specific person you want to write to?

If you selected no, leave this blank.

Your energy account

You can find your account details by checking bills, letters or emails from your energy supplier. If you have an online account you can also check that.

This might also be called a ‘customer number’.

You might have a separate reference number, for example, if you’ve already written to your supplier and they gave you a reference number in their reply.

Which type of energy do you get?

Your complaint

For example, I think my electricity meter is faulty. Include details like dates or time frames if you know them. If there’s more than 1 problem, put them on different lines or in a numbered list.

If you have complained about this problem before

If this is your first complaint, leave this blank.

For example ‘14 January 2022’. If you don’t know the exact date, try to be as specific as you can, for example, ‘January 2022’. If you have complained several times, list the dates.

How did you contact them about this problem? (optional)

If you select an option by mistake, change your selection to 'Not applicable'.

For example ‘11 March 2022’.
