Skip the review and continue straight awayThis is ticked, so we prepare your complaint as soon as you verify your email and then show any final step you must complete yourself. Untick it if you would rather read the finished wording and change anything first, before continuing.

I already filed this but didn't verify it in time. Tick this only if you submitted before and the BBC verification email expired (the link is valid for about 60 minutes). We'll re-file your BBC complaint so the BBC sends you a fresh verification link.

We'll send a 6-digit code to verify your email before proceeding.
