Get in touch with POSTRS

If the customer and PSC are unable to find a mutually acceptable resolution to the complaint the PSC will issue a ‘final response letter’. This letter will tell you that the PSC is unable to take your complaint any further and it should normally say that you may refer the matter to CEDR for adjudication. You can then apply to CEDR for Adjudication.
