Making a complaint

How to make a complaint

Our customers genuinely are at the heart of what we do and we aim for 100% customer satisfaction, but we also know we don’t always get it right 100% of the time. If that’s happened with you, we’d like to try to put it right as quickly as we can.

You can contact us in whatever way is most convenient to you with details of your complaint. Please provide your Lantern customer reference number, a description of your complaint, how you think we can resolve it, and any other relevant information.
