Complaint Letter Writer

Write a firm but polite complaint that lays out what went wrong and what you want done about it, so you are taken seriously and get a result.

Make it yours

Fill in the boxes and the prompt updates as you type. Then copy it and paste it into your AI tool of choice.

The company, person, or department you are complaining to

The facts in order, with dates or reference numbers if you have them

The specific result you are after

How firm you want to come across

Your prompt

I need to make a complaint to my energy supplier / a shop / the local council.

Here's what happened:

I ordered a sofa on 3 June, it arrived damaged, and no one has replied

This is what I want them to do about it:

a full refund / a replacement / an apology and a discount

Please write a complaint that's firm but polite. Lay out the facts clearly and in
order, explain the impact on me, and state plainly what I'm asking for. Keep the
tone firm but polite, and don't make it aggressive or emotional, as that tends to work
against me.

Tips

Include any dates, order numbers, or reference codes in what you paste, because a complaint with specific facts is far harder to brush off than a vague one. If the first reply is unhelpful, come back and ask the AI to draft a follow-up that mentions escalating to an ombudsman or regulator, which often gets things moving.

What a good result looks like

A clear, well-structured complaint letter that sets out the facts, explains the impact, and states exactly what you want, ready to check over and send.
