NOW’s Complaints Code of Practice

Our Complaints Code of Practice is outlined below. It covers our processes for resolving complaints relating to our products and services, and our complaints handling process.

What can I do if I'm unhappy with NOW's response?

We aim to resolve every complaint quickly and to your satisfaction. If, for any reason, you’re not fully satisfied with our response, please let us know and tell us where you think we need to more. We’ll then review your complaint, and our response, and pass it on to NOW management.

We’ll let you know if anything else can be done to resolve your complaint and tell you how long it’s expected to take. We’ll keep you informed of our progress and any changes.

Alternative dispute resolution

You have the right to take your complaint to CISAS (Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme), Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution, if your complaint relates to TV Membership, NOW Broadband, NOW Calls, or our complaints handling process, and either:

  • we haven’t resolved your complaint to your satisfaction within 6 weeks of you first making your complaint to NOW, or
  • you’ve received a letter from us saying that your complaint has reached "deadlock" with nothing more we can do.

CISAS is an independent alternative dispute resolution scheme which will review your complaint. If CISAS decides that your complaint is justified, NOW will act on any decision made and put things right for you.

If your complaint remains unresolved after 6 weeks, we'll send you a written reminder of your right to go to CISAS. We'll also send you a deadlock letter on your request, unless there are further steps we can take to resolve your complaint quickly. We won't send you a reminder or issue you with a deadlock letter if your complaint is vexatious or outside the jurisdiction of the scheme.

Can I claim compensation for a delay in transferring my phone number to NOW?

If we‘ve agreed to transfer your telephone number to NOW, and haven’t done so more than one business day after the date we told you the transfer would take place (or any revised date that you were informed of), you can claim compensation for the delay.

Compensation will be calculated on the basis of the daily charge for your NOW Broadband service (as line rental charges are bundled) for each day that transfer of your number is delayed. Claiming compensation in this way will not affect any other rights you have. You can make a claim for compensation by contacting us in one of the ways set out in this Code.

We will normally deduct any amounts owed to you from your next monthly bill, unless otherwise requested by you.

How do I complain about premium rate phone charges?

The Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA) is the independent regulatory body for all premium rate charged telecommunications services. Premium rate services offer a service that’s charged to your phone bill or pre-pay phone account. These include directory services, entertainment or ringtones. Many premium rate services have dialling codes starting with 09. Directory enquiry services have six-digit numbers, beginning 118.

If your complaint relates to the provision, content or promotion of premium rate services you should get in touch with the PSA directly.

Ofcom now takes sole responsibility for regulating the editorial content of video-on-demand programme services.
