You may send a letter of complaint to Home Group through their support email.

Complain to Home Group in Person

While you may opt to talk to one of the Home Group colleagues, it may sometimes not be possible depending on the circumstances of your complaint, and it's nearly always better to file your initial complaint in writing anyway.

Alternative Ways to File a Complaint Against Home Group

If you haven't had success in your complaint against Home Group, or if you want to complain more, there are a few other avenues you can consider. Not all of these will be applicable to every situation, but it's important to be aware that they exist so you can use them if needed.

1. Use Alternative Dispute Resolution Schemes to File Your Home Group Complaint

Alternative dispute resolution (or ADR) schemes are a method of getting a complaint resolved out of court. ADR schemes can use mediators or arbitrators, but in either case, they are an excellent way to get concrete results from your complaint. For more information on alternative dispute resolution, see the Department for Business Innovation & Skills' website.

2. File a Home Group Complaint with Your Ombudsman

An ombudsman is an independent third party mediator who helps to handle complaints against government agencies and companies.

For more information on filing a complaint with an ombudsman, see Home Group's guidelines.

3. Sue Home Group in Small Claims Court

This is the most extreme method of resolving your Home Group complaint, and it is one that should not be taken lightly. However, if you have suffered financial losses due to Home Group's actions or lack of action, you may be able to sue them in small claims court. Note that in England and Wales, the maximum amount of money you can request in small claims court is £10,000. The process of filing your claim will vary based on the specific court you file in.
