The customer cannot apply to the scheme unless they have started a formal complaint through the company's formal complaints procedure and at least eight weeks has passed since they first put the complaint through the company's formal complaints procedure; or the company agrees, in writing, that the dispute can be settled through the scheme. Customers must also apply to the scheme within nine months of first making their first formal complaint about the matter to the company.
