1. What is Contact Us?
Contact Us lets you get online help from our support team, 24/7. All queries and replies are stored within Contact Us, letting you keep track of any issues.

Contact Us is more accountable than email. You can see which members of the support team have handled your query and when.

3. Contact Us Wizard

4. Viewing a query
Click the 'View Queries' button to view any issues you've raised by Contact Us or by phone, along with responses from the support team.

There is a drop-down list with several option:

• Open - view queries awaiting a response from you or the support team.
  
• Closed - view queries that have been dealt with.
  
• All - view all of your queries.
  

You can also view queries from the last 7 or 28 days.

Click the 'View Queries' button to display results.

5. Interpreting the query listings
Each query you submit, together with any response from the support team, will be visible via View Query:

• Query ID number - your query is assigned a unique number. It is also given a status. When created this will be shown as 'Open'.
  
• Query checked - the support team will check your query and send a quick reply. You may see these comments as 'Closed' issues, or they may be left open for you to close yourself. You may close a query at any time.
  
• Query assigned - occasionally the support team will assign your query to another department or individual. You'll be able to see who your query has been assigned to.
  

For each query you raise, you'll also be able to see:

Time-stamps - your query and any responses to it are time-stamped, showing when it was submitted and replied to. This lets us see how efficient we are in responding to queries.

Action Ticket - this only appears beneath 'Open' and 'Assigned' issues.

• Add any comments to the new text box.
  
• Attach a file (if required) from your computer by clicking 'Browse'.
  
• Click 'Return Ticket' to send the query back to the support team.
  

7. Closing a Query
If you are happy your query has been resolved, you may close the query report yourself:

8. Helping our support team to help you

If you still need to raise a query, remember to:

• Keep your communication clear and to the point.
  
• Include as much relevant information as possible.
  

9. Privacy statement
We are committed to protecting your privacy. The information in your Contact Us queries will be used for no other purpose than to operate a quality level of support service and keep our support team informed as to your service history.
