With the RN you still have to follow the right channels first (request to see the Commanding Officer would be placed via DO first, which makes sense as they should be advising you on how to do it properly) - the only time you can rep up straight to the CO is on Divisions, when you are allowed to rep to the inspecting officer. Which could be highly amusing, and I only ever thought someone was going to do it once, but they bottled it.
I think you would probably get fairly short shrift from a CO, as it is not within his remit to rectify, only to inform those higher of your grievance. The correct form (RN wise) would be to raise a written representation, in our case through DO and straight to DD Pay in London who would take the whole issue for action.
