Before you contact EWOV with your complaint, you must first try to resolve the issue with your electricity, gas (including LPG) or water company.
If you're not sure which company you're with, check your bill.

If the company’s call centre representative can’t sort it out for you, ask to speak with a supervisor or someone else at a higher level.
