Ofcom General Condition C4

Complaints & Dispute Resolution

We aim to resolve every issue quickly and fairly. Here's how to raise a complaint and what happens next.

How to make a complaint

You can contact us by any of the following methods. We treat all complaints equally regardless of how they're submitted.

Telephone 01429 818 332
Post High Tide Group Limited
Hartlepool, England
Prefer to speak to someone? Call us on 01429 818 332 during business hours (Mon–Fri, 08:30–17:30). We'll log your complaint on the call and give you a reference number.

Our complaints process

We handle all complaints in line with Ofcom's Approved Code of Practice for Complaints Handling (General Condition C4).

Step 1 — Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 business days and provide a reference number and the name of the person handling it.

Step 2 — Investigation

We'll investigate promptly and fairly. We may ask for additional information to understand the issue fully.

Step 3 — Resolution

We aim to resolve all complaints within 6 weeks of receipt and will keep you updated throughout.

Step 4 — Final position / Deadlock Letter

If we cannot resolve your complaint within 6 weeks, or reach a position we cannot move from, we will issue a Deadlock Letter. This gives you the right to escalate to our independent ADR scheme, free of charge.

Independent dispute resolution (ADR)

If your complaint remains unresolved after 6 weeks, or after we have issued a Deadlock Letter, you have the right to refer it to our Ofcom-approved ADR scheme. This service is free of charge to you.

High Tide Group Limited is a member of CISAS, operated by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) and approved by Ofcom.
