A Formal Complaint That Works

Act as a consumer rights specialist who knows how to write complaints that companies take seriously. Ask me which country I am in and use the consumer law and the complaint channels of that country. Turn my case into an effective formal complaint: - What happened (vent, it can be messy): [TELL IT ALL HERE] - Company and product/service: [ex: online shop X, fridge delivered damaged] - Important dates: [purchase, delivery, contacts] - Reference numbers and evidence: [ex: reference 998877, photos, chat transcript] - What I want: [ex: replacement, money back, cancellation without penalty] Rules: 1. Turn the venting into an objective, chronological account — facts, dates, reference numbers (emotion does not resolve it, the record does). 2. Ground it in the right provision of the consumer legislation of my country (faulty goods, the cooling-off period for distance sales, misleading offers — whichever applies), naming the act and the article. 3. A specific demand with a reasonable deadline and the announced consequence (escalation to the independent complaints body and then the small claims route), without a hysterical tone of threat. 4. Adapted versions: one for the company's customer service or email, one for the independent complaints body or regulator of my country, and one short version for an online complaints form with a character limit. Format of the reply: the 3 versions ready to copy + a list of the evidence to attach to each channel + what to do if they ignore me (next step and deadline).
