Support tickets, emails, chat transcripts and dates of earlier requests.
Order number, receipt, booking reference, amount paid and payment method.
Use the refund builder and choose a firmer tone if the first request failed.
A complaint letter should reference the earlier request and what happened next.
Keep the complaint tied to the refund reason and requested remedy.
Say when you expect a written response.
Use a refund request letter for the first clear written request. Use a refund complaint letter when the business has ignored you, refused without adequate explanation or failed to resolve the issue after earlier contact.
The complaint should summarise what happened, what you asked for, what evidence you have and what you now want the business to do.
Include the order reference, dates, amount, previous contact and requested outcome. A business is more likely to respond when the letter is specific and easy to trace.
End with a clear deadline for a written response. Do not overload the complaint with unrelated issues.
Request a refund for faulty goods, poor service or cancellations.
Dear Customer Support, I am writing to make a formal complaint about my unresolved refund request for order ORD-10482. I first contacted you on 12 March 2026 because the item arrived faulty and could not be used as expected. I have provided photographs and order details, but the refund has not yet been confirmed. Please review this complaint and confirm the refund process within 14 days. Yours faithfully, Jane Smith
