Complain About Peacock - File a Complaint Today

Paying for a premium plan just to be force-fed ads. Seriously? And it's not just a few of us who are annoyed. Peacock's Trustpilot score is a dismal 1.3 stars, with a staggering 92% of reviews being 1-star. The Better Business Bureau page for its parent company, NBCUniversal, isn't much better, showing over 1,100 complaints closed in the last three years. Common issues flagged constantly are problems with billing, technical glitches during live sports, and just plain terrible customer service. When you're done trying to get a straight answer, Pine AI can step in and handle the frustrating back-and-forth for you. Official site: Visit Peacock

Best ways to complain to Peacock

Contact Method Details & Availability Why use this instead...
Live Chat Available via the Peacock Help Center. Bot is 24/7, human agents have limited hours (usually US business hours). Best for immediate technical support or simple billing questions.
Contact Form Available in the Help Center for submitting a detailed ticket. Use for non-urgent, complex issues where you need to attach documents or explain a situation in detail.
Social Media Publicly message @PeacockTVCare on X (formerly Twitter). Good for getting a faster response when other methods fail. Companies dislike public complaints.

⏱️ Estimated Response Times from Peacock After Complaining

Immediate to 48 hours, but getting a useful response is a whole other story.

Method Expected Wait Time
Phone N/A (Not a primary support channel)
Email 24-48 hours
Chat 5-30 minutes (for initial contact)
App N/A (Uses chat/help center)

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

  • Try the live chat during off-peak hours (like a weekday morning) for a better chance at getting a human agent quickly.
  • Have your account email and any relevant screenshots (like billing errors) ready before you start.
  • Be specific. Instead of saying 'it's not working,' say 'the app is crashing on my Roku device when I try to watch the news.'

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If the chat agent is giving you the runaround, your first step is to ask to speak with a supervisor or have your case escalated. Make sure you get a ticket or reference number for your complaint.

If that goes nowhere, it's time to go external. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a solid option. NBCUniversal (Peacock's parent company) does respond to complaints there, but prepare to wait, it can take a couple of weeks for a resolution. You can also file a complaint with your state's Attorney General for consumer protection issues, especially if it involves misleading advertising or billing practices. Regulators usually require that you try to resolve the issue with the company first, so keep records of your attempts.

Email Template to Complain to Peacock

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Billing Issue on Account [[Your Account Email]]

I'm writing to you again because my issue with an incorrect charge remains unresolved, despite contacting your support chat on [[Date]].

On [[Date of Charge]], my account was charged [[$Amount]] for the Premium Plus plan, but I am still seeing advertisements during shows, which defeats the entire purpose of the upgrade. Frankly, spending my time troubleshooting my paid subscription has been incredibly frustrating.

To resolve this, I require an immediate refund for the price difference between the ad-supported and ad-free tiers for this billing cycle and for the ads to be removed from my account as promised.

If I don't receive a confirmation that this has been fixed within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

[[Your Name]]

P.S. I have attached a screenshot of the ad appearing during a show, despite my plan details.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

  • When you finally get a live chat agent, immediately ask for your reference or ticket number. If the chat 'accidentally' disconnects, you have a starting point for next time.
  • Take screenshots of everything. The error message, the chat conversation, your account page showing your plan. Everything. Digital proof is your best friend.
  • If chat gets you nowhere, go public. Post on their @PeacockTVCare Twitter/X handle with your issue (don't post personal info). Companies hate bad public PR.
  • A user on Reddit mentioned they finally got a refund after specifically mentioning 'breach of advertising' for the ad-free plan. Worth a shot.
