Alternative Ways to File a Complaint Against Bulb

If Bulb takes a long time to resolve your issue or their response is not satisfactory, escalate the issue to the energy ombudsman or the small claims courts. The following Bulb complaints procedure guides you through the filing process.

Ombudsman

The energy ombudsman is a neutral and impartial party that handles disputes between energy consumers and suppliers. The UK's Office of Gas and Electricity (Ofgem) regulates this independent organisation to make sure it operates within the limits of the law.

The ombudsman mediates conflicts that have taken more than eight weeks and those where a client is not satisfied with an energy supplier's feedback. When tasked, the office investigates your complaint and responds in the best way possible.

After investigation, the independent organisation will request Bulb to compensate you appropriately, fix the problem, and offer a detailed explanation of why the conflict arose. Contrarily, the ombudsman can uphold Bulb's decision.

To file Bulb energy complaints with the ombudsman:

  1. Get copies of your past communication with Bulb
  2. Fill out the energy ombudsman's online form or call 0330 440 1624
  3. Wait for the ombudsman to investigate your case and make a verdict. Typically, it takes up to 16 weeks to resolve your complaint.

The energy ombudsman solves issues related to billing, changing energy suppliers, sales, delays, customer service, and loss of service. However, before you contact this independent mediator, make sure:

  • Bulb hasn't resolved your complaint
  • You've tried to resolve the issue with your energy supplier
  • You complained eight or more weeks before escalating the issue to the ombudsman
  • Your complaint is not under review by another independent authority
  • Your complaint is in good faith

Small Claims Courts

The small claims court is the final recourse after the energy ombudsman and company fail to address your complaint in the best way possible. Although the court handles all problems, it is best suited for compensation issues.

Note that the claims court can only handle compensation of less than £10,000 for Wales residents, £5,000 for those in Scotland, and £3,000 for Northern Ireland residents.

To file your complaint with the small claims court:

  1. Get the summon and complaint forms from a court near you
  2. Fill the forms
  3. Gather the paperwork needed as evidence
  4. Pay the small claims court's filing fee
  5. Prepare to argue your case
