What to do if you have been mis-sold a mobile phone contract

If you think you've been mis-sold your service, either by the mobile phone company or by a company selling on its behalf, your first action should be to inform the provider and follow its complaints procedure.

See our guide on how to make an effective complaint for more on this.

If you are unsatisfied with the response following your complaint to your service provider:

  • The customer can contact Ofcom. Ofcom would, based on complaints information, decide to investigate the mobile service provider's compliance with the General Condition;
  • If you and the mobile service provider cannot resolve the problem, you can complain to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme if the mobile service provider is part of e.g. Otelo ( the Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman) http://www.otelo.org.uk/  - tele: 0330 400 1614 or CISAS http://www.cisas.org.uk/  - tele: 0207 520 3827;
  • You can also contact Consumer Direct, which is funded by the Office of Fair Trading. It should offer advice and may also be able to help you find a resolution;

Business customers of over 10 employees should seek independent legal advice.

Testimonial

"I just had to put pen to paper and write to say I'm more than delighted with my settlement that you won me back from my PPI I had with Lloyds TSB. The Claim Forms were simple to fill in. It was a breeze"
