A good complaint letter is calm, factual and specific: what you bought, what went wrong, what you have already tried, what you want, and by when. This generator builds that structure from your details, as an email or a printed letter, in a polite or a firm tone. It writes the subject line, works out the reply deadline date and lists the copies you are sending. It also works as a refund request letter. The wording comes from fixed templates, so you can check and edit every sentence.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your name, the company, the product or service and any order number, date and price.
  2. Describe what went wrong in your own words, plus any contact so far.
  3. Choose what you want (refund, replacement, repair, credit or an apology) and how many days they have to reply.
  4. Pick email or printed letter, polite or firm, and copy the result.

Formula

Reply deadline = date of the letter + days to reply

The letter follows facts → problem → contact so far → effect on you → request → deadline → copies attached. The firm tone says you will consider taking the matter further, for example through the company’s complaints procedure, your card provider or a consumer body. The UK style uses “Dear Sir or Madam” with “Yours faithfully” when no name is given, and “Yours sincerely” with a name.

Example

Alex bought an X200 coffee machine for $129.99 on October 12, 2026 (order BH-48213). A polite email dated November 9, 2026 with 14 days to reply asks for a full refund by Monday, November 23, 2026, lists the receipt and photos, and gets the subject line “Refund request: X200 coffee machine – order BH-48213”.

Frequently asked questions

What should a complaint letter include?

The product or service, the date and order number, a short factual description of the problem, what you have done so far, the remedy you want and a reasonable deadline. Attach copies of receipts and photos, never the originals.

How long should I give a company to reply?

Fourteen days is common for a first letter; seven days can suit a follow-up. Some companies and regulators set their own response times for formal complaints, so check the company’s complaints policy.

Does this tell me what I am legally entitled to?

No. Consumer rights differ by country, product and payment method. The letter asks for the remedy you choose; check official consumer advice where you live before relying on a particular right.

This letter is a template for general information, not legal advice. Consumer rights depend on where you live, what you bought and how you paid, so check official consumer guidance or a qualified adviser before you rely on a particular remedy. You use it at your own risk. How we check our calculators · Full disclaimer
