If your energy supplier has ceased trading, we’ll provide an update on your case as soon as Ofgem nominate a 'Supplier of Last Resort' to take over as your new supplier. Until that time we appreciate your patience and recommend you take a meter reading.

Can’t see the sector you need?

As we’re the Ombudsman for Energy and Communications, we won’t be able to help with queries for other issues.

If you're looking to escalate your complaint in other areas such as travel, retail, insurance, employment, financial products or banking, then there are other organisations or ombudsman schemes that may be able to help.
