  • What you paid or what was promised
  • What went wrong (in one or two sentences)
  • What you’ve already tried (calls, emails, complaints)

Be specific and reasonable.

Examples of reasonable outcomes
  • Refund for the period I couldn’t use the service
  • Repair/replace the faulty item
  • Cancel without early termination fees
  • Correct my account / remove incorrect charges

FAQs

What does ‘tidying the wording’ actually do?

After payment, we lightly rewrite the problem description and requested outcome to make them clearer, more neutral, and more formal.

We do not add facts, dates, legal language, or threats. The meaning stays the same – just written in a way that suits a formal letter.

Examples below are illustrative.

Before

“I’ve been messed around for weeks and nobody seems to care. This has been a nightmare and I’m fed up of chasing.”

After

“I have been experiencing ongoing issues for several weeks and have not received a satisfactory response despite repeated attempts to resolve the matter.”

Before

“I want my money back for the time this wasn’t working and I want this sorted ASAP.”

After

“I would like a refund or account credit for the period during which the service was not working, and for the issue to be resolved as soon as possible.”

Before

“The service keeps cutting out and I’ve tried restarting things and speaking to support already and it’s still happening which isn’t acceptable.”

After

“The service continues to disconnect intermittently. I have already restarted the equipment and contacted customer support, but the issue remains unresolved.”

What we don’t do

  • We don’t add legal references or quote laws
  • We don’t introduce new facts, dates, or amounts
  • We don’t threaten legal action or escalation
  • We don’t change what you’re asking for

The final letter reflects your complaint – just written in a clear, professional tone.

Why don’t you show the rewritten wording before payment?

To keep costs predictable, we only run the rewrite after payment. The preview shows the layout and a truncated version of your text so you can check formatting first.

Do I need to sign the letter?

No. A typed name is standard for printed correspondence and is accepted for formal complaints in the UK.

Do you email me a link to my order?

Yes. After payment, we send a single confirmation email with a private link to your order page (so you don’t need to keep the tab open). We do not email your letter or attach a PDF.
