Speak to British Gas Customer Service Agents Without Waiting on Hold

As humans, we're prone to have our patience tested at one point or another. But if you've had to wait on hold for customer service, then you know that almost everything else pales in comparison. It's a painfully long, uncertain process that'll leave you glued to the phone for minutes on end, awaiting that human voice that may never come.

It is even more frustrating when you experience this emotional rollercoaster with an essential service provider like British Gas. The last thing you need after receiving that outrageous power bill is a robot at the end of the line telling you to hold for 20 minutes.

Tired of the wait? DoNotPay is here to the rescue. We shall gladly hold in line on your behalf and inform you the moment an actual rep picks up the phone. Let's see how.

Alternative Ways to Resolve Customer Service Complaints

Acquiring British Gas' contact information is easy; reaching their customer service and getting the service is another story. Next to the tedious process of waiting on hold, you might not even get a solution to your problem.

If you need your issue sorted out immediately or didn't get fairly compensated, there are some other third parties you can employ to do it on your behalf. They include

  1. Employ an Ombudsman/Ombudsperson

If you've already complained to the organization but failed to resolve your issue, your best bet would be to file a complaint with an ombudsperson. These are individuals who are given powers by the government to investigate complaints made against companies and corporations.

It is important to note that most ombudsmen won't take on old complaints or ones already passed in court. Therefore, make sure you present them with a recent case.

  1. Use ADR Schemes (Alternative dispute resolutions)

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) refers to out-of-court methods of dealing with consumer-trader conflicts. Like the Ombudsman above, ADR schemes are supported by the government.

The following are kinds of ADRs:

  1. Mediator – This is an unbiased third party who helps conflicting parties arrive at a mutually agreeable solution
  2. Arbitrator – This is yet another neutral third party charged with settling disputes. Only in this case the individual will look into the facts and declare a decision that will put one or both parties in a binding agreement.

3. Send Demand Letters To the Company in Small Claims Court

If you can't agree, you can send demand letters to British Gas in small claims court and get paid what is due to you. To increase your chances of winning the case, make sure you have all your evidence gathered up.
