How to complain

 

Before you can use our service, PRS for Music requires a complaint in writing.

If your complaint is about membership:

 

You can use our service if you are:

  • a member of PRS for Music;
  • someone who has approached PRS for Music to apply for membership; or
  • someone who is representing a person who is in one of the situations above, who has permission in writing to make the complaint on their behalf.

You must have been in one of these situations when the problem you are complaining about began.

We can only look at complaints that started on or after 28 April 2010.  If your complaint started before this date you should contact PRS for Music to discuss your options.
