Complaints & Escalation
We want every interaction to be excellent. If we fall short, this page explains how to tell us and what happens next.
1. How to Complain
- Email: complaints@pinemedia.net
- Phone: 0114 299 1699 (Mon–Fri 9am–5pm)
- Live chat: Chat with us
2. Information to Include
Please provide account holder name, service address, a clear description of the issue, any troubleshooting already performed, and preferred contact method.
3. Our Process & Timelines

- Initial investigation and response within 5 business days.

4. Escalation Path
If you feel your case is not progressing, request escalation to a senior support lead. If your complaint is still unresolved after 6 weeks, or at any point if we issue you a deadlock letter, you have the right to escalate externally to our ADR scheme (see below).
5. Alternative Dispute Resolution (CISAS)
We are members of CISAS, an Ofcom-approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme operated by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). CISAS is independent and its decisions are binding on us. Referring your complaint to CISAS is free of charge.
