We will provide a fair and impartial review of unresolved customer complaints, and we will recommend changes to enhance the customer experience.
What is the Office of the Ombudsman?
The Office of the Ombudsman provides an impartial review of unresolved complaints. The Office of the Ombudsman is not an advocate for either Rogers or its customers. Our Ombudsman investigates both sides of an issue and assists the parties in reaching a fair and reasonable resolution. Recommendations are non-binding and parties are free to pursue other avenues if an agreement is not reached.
The Office reviews customer disputes for all Rogers businesses and operates independently of Rogers customer service department. Our role is to investigate all sides of a complaint and form an impartial view of a fair and reasonable solution. The Ombudsman does not investigate matters of general policy, pricing, or fees that apply to customers; matters for which records no longer exist at Rogers; or matters already before the courts or arbitration.
Customer complaints are a vital source of feedback. Based on customer feedback, the Ombudsman may make recommendations to improve operations or products and services.
How do I file a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman?
The Office of the Ombudsman will only review disputes that have been through Steps 1, 2, and 3. If you wish to submit your complaint to the Ombudsman's Office, please do so in writing and outline exactly what happened, including the relevant dates, the names of any employees involved, and any copies of relevant documents. It would also be helpful if you told us what you would like us to do for you. All correspondence with our office will be kept confidential.
Once we receive your written complaint, we will do an initial assessment to confirm that the matter falls within the mandate of our office. We will acknowledge your complaint within 48 hours and most disputes will be handled within 30 days of receiving your complaint and all relevant documentation. If this deadline cannot be met, we will contact you to let you know why additional time is necessary and when you can expect a response. By submitting your complaint, you provide us with permission to discuss your issue with the appropriate Rogers business to complete our assessment. If your complaint is within our mandate and requires a full investigation, we will send you a Consent and Confidentiality Agreement to sign and return to us. This agreement outlines the process we will agree to follow and how we will need to interact during the investigative process and beyond.
As noted above, there are some matters that are outside our mandate.
