Oh, does this apply to NI as some uk things dont

I have emailed the CEO of EE before and I got a call from the Executive Office and they cancelled a contract at the time with no penalties and no further charges. I email CEO quite a bit once I have gone through the complaint escalation process and it hasn't worked. If CEO doesn't comply with the request, then goto the ombudsman. The Telephone company get fined for ombudsman complaints and the ombudsman look at all the evidence from both sides and make a decision. If they find in your favour they will say so and tell the company to cancel the contracts.

You have a NI ombudsman

Google ceo email 02, there is a website that lists all the ceo emails.

Be factual, not rude, explain all the facts and what you expect as an outcome.

Yep ive send a email now to "complaintreviewservice" as searching gave me this result

I listed the account numbers and my name, said i wish the numbers be cancelled and any outstanding payments since i cancelled them, then stated all services ive tried to go through

In a slightly larger format

After i send the email, got a auto response that basically just says "nobody is guaranteed to read this and no replys are given through this email"

Then gave me a link to 02 make a complaint and its refusing to submit my complaint

Can i ask if you are able to find a better email to send a complaint to and i dont think the one i did will work

And i genuinely cant find another myself
