Complaint Letter

 Complaint Letter

By: Anjali Tiwari

A complaint letter is a letter made by a person who is dissatisfied with a product, service, or behaviour offered by a company or individual. In most cases, it is written by a customer to express discontent with a product or service. It should contain a clear description of the problem as well as a request that the other party take action to resolve it. Despite the fact that the letter is intended to convey dissatisfaction, it should be written in a professional manner without resorting to insults or curse words. A formal letter made by a customer in reaction to a negative experience with a product or service is known as a complaint letter. The letter should be formal in tone.

A formal letter made by a customer in reaction to a negative experience with a product or service is known as a complaint letter. The letter should be formal in tone and contain as much information as possible regarding the problem. It can then be forwarded to the company, business, or customer support department.

This type of letter should provide details concerning the specific product or service with which the customer had an issue. The problem should be explained in detail so that the company can recognize and handle it. The consumer might request a specific action, such as a replacement or refund, if desired.

A complaint letter should be written in a formal, professional tone. This can be tough because many people feel enraged as a result of their bad experience. Keep your cool and avoid swear words and insults in your letter. This will ensure that the company takes the letter seriously. It may also make it easier to resolve your problem.

Writing a Complaint Letter 

The complaint letter should be formatted like a business letter. For example, if you write a seven-page complaint letter, it is quite unlikely that anyone will sit down and read all seven pages. The customer service/consumer affairs department, or the head office if there is no customer service department, should receive the complaint letter. The customer service department's address and contact information should be visible on the company's products or website.

First paragraph: You should determine the nature of the problem and any pertinent information that you believe is relevant. If relevant, provide the following details: the date/time of the problem, the location, the name of the person on duty, the name of the product, the nature of the problem, your account number, model number, price, warranty information, and a reference number. Stick to the facts and avoid expressing your feelings in your letter.

Next paragraph: Make a list of things you'd like to see done to remedy the situation. You could ask for an apology or a coupon if you received poor service. If a product is defective, you have the option of exchanging it for a new one or requesting a refund.

Last paragraph: Please accept my sincere gratitude for taking the time to read this. You might also provide some praises regarding a feature of their product or service that you appreciated.

After your printed name, give your phone number/email address so that they can contact you as soon as possible if necessary. Keep a copy of the letter for yourself, and make photocopies of any relevant papers to include with your letter.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
