Feedback and complaints
You can make a complaint if you’re not happy:
- with the advice you’ve been given
- about how you’ve been treated
- because you’ve had difficulty getting in contact
Please say if you need any extra support when we contact you, for example larger font size.

How to complain
You can complain in different ways - depending on what it’s about.
If you’re complaining about immigration advice
You can complain to us or to the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC).

If you think our advice made you lose money
You can:
- complain to us
- ask a solicitor or an independent legal adviser to check if you have a legal claim against us
If you make a legal claim, we can’t deal with a complaint about the same issue until the claim is finished.
If you’re complaining because our phone lines are busy
We know it can sometimes be difficult to get through to someone when you call Adviceline. We’re doing everything we can to make waiting times shorter.
We recommend you call again at a different time, or try contacting us in a different way.
If you want to complain about your local Citizens Advice, you can contact them and say you want to complain.
For all types of complaints, you can complain to our Client Services team by phone, email or using the online form. If you’re complaining about your local Citizens Advice, we’ll send the complaint to them to deal with.
