Frequently asked questions

I’ve just legally changed my name, what do I need to do to update my account?

To proceed, please send a copy of either your marriage certificate or deed poll certificate to the following email address: customer.care@hometelecom.co.uk.

Why is my first bill higher?

Your first bill will always appear higher as you will be billed from the day your services were installed to the end of the following month. Following on from that your next invoice will return to the price agreed as you will just be billed for that calendar month.

Why are the installation charges on the first bill when I have paid these upfront?

In our first invoice, we include all upfront charges for products to provide a transparent breakdown of what your initial costs cover. Rest assured, you won’t be required to pay these charges twice.

I’m looking to set up a direct debit, what day can payments be taken?

You can choose from three direct debit dates: the 7th, 16th, or 28th of each month. Please note that no other dates are available for setting up the direct debit.

A relative has just passed away, what would be the next steps to either close or takeover the account?

For the account takeover process, kindly email us a copy of the death certificate, along with the contact details of the individual wishing to take over the account, to customer.care@hometelecom.co.uk.

I am looking to make a complaint, what is the process?

When you raise a complaint to our Customer Care team, we aim to resolve it within 10 working days. However, if the situation requires further attention, complaints can be escalated to a senior level and ultimately to the team leader/manager of the respective department.

If your complaint remains unresolved after 8 weeks or reaches a deadlock, you have the option to escalate it to our independent adjudicator, CISAS. You can initiate this process by visiting the following link: https://www.cedr.com/consumer/cisas/

Through CISAS, you can formally present your case, and our company will either defend its position or work towards a fair settlement to reach a resolution. We are committed to addressing your concerns and providing a satisfactory outcome.
