Bill looks wrong or a leak not fixed? Start your complaint here: we push it out to Northumbrian Water by email, social media and printed letters.

A refund from Northumbrian Water usually means asking for the credit on your account to be paid back: after an overpayment, after an actual meter reading brings an estimated bill down, or on the final bill when you move out of the area. Check your latest bill or your online account to see the credit balance, then ask customer service to refund it instead of carrying it forward, and confirm the bank account it will be paid into.

If you think you were billed for the wrong property or the wrong meter, ask for the account to be recalculated and send your own readings with the dates you took them. Keep the old bills: a recalculation is only as good as the readings behind it.

To escalate a complaint inside Northumbrian Water, ask for it to be reviewed by a manager in the customer care team and quote the reference from your first contact.
