Regarding giffgaff mobile network and services
Once we contact you with the outcome, you have 28 days to get back to us or we’ll assume the matter is resolved and close your complaint. We’ll inform you of this process when we contact you. If we view your complaint as resolved but you do not agree, this may lead to a “deadlock” situation where we will either issue you with a deadlock letter or you may request one, to allow you to escalate your complaint to the communications ombudsman.
In addition, the communications ombudsman can review your complaint if we haven't been able to sort things out within 8 weeks. Unless there is a deadlock situation, they won't look at cases that are less than 8 weeks old. Contact them directly at:
