First, start by contacting the manager or supervisor of the ICBC office you've been dealing with. You can do this by speaking to an ICBC customer representative and asking them to put you in contact with a manager or supervisor.

The manager or supervisor can:

• Listen to your complaint and try to resolve the problem

• Discuss the reasons for a decision and give them in writing, if needed

• Explain the review and appeal processes that may apply to your situation

• Provide information you may need if you want to escalate your concern

In many cases, they'll be able to resolve your issue quickly.

Here's how to contact us about:

• Your driver's licence

• Your claim

• Your insurance​

If the manager/supervisor wasn't able to resolve your issue, our Fair Practices Office can help. We can:

• Investigate a decision or process you believe was unfair

• Recommend or facilitate a resolution to your concern, where appropriate

• Help you understand the decisions and actions related to your concern

• Refer you to alternative dispute resolution processes you may not know about or haven't tried

• Explain the details of our products and services 

We also work with the following to help resolve ICBC-related complaints and questions:

• ICBC's Fairness Officer

• B.C.'s Office of the Ombudsperson

• MLA constituency offices

There are some questions that the Fair Practices Office won't review that will need to be answered by the ICBC business area directly (such as Driver Licensing, Claims or Insurance). You can find the phone number for the relevant business area on our contact page. Some examples are:

• Insurance questions such as Individual Driver Factor or insurance cancellation

• Claim forgiveness or claims reimbursements

• Debt and payment plans

• Driver licensing questions

• Estate transfer

If you're not satisfied with our responses after going through the channels above, you may want to write to Michael Skinner, Fairness Officer.

The Fairness Officer can:

• Help you and ICBC resolve the concern

• Make recommendations to ICBC to resolve the complaint

• Recommend mediation or arbitration

If you have already contacted the Fair Practices Office and have not yet received a response, the Fairness Officer will refer you back to the Fair Practices Office.

If the Fairness Officer can't resolve your concerns, there's still another step to consider. The B.C. Ombudsperson may look at your issue and make recommendations to ICBC.
