What if X doesn't reply?

Give it a few days, then hit them up again on a different channel, like Twitter. They hate public complaints.

Can I escalate my complaint legally?

Yes, you can. You could look into small claims court for monetary disputes, but honestly, it's a massive headache and usually not worth the filing fees unless they owe you a significant amount of money from something like that time they overcharged my entire neighborhood for a service outage.

Are there lots of people leaving X?

It sure feels like it. Every time they hike the price or get rid of a popular feature, you see forums and Reddit threads light up with people saying they're done. I don't blame them.

Is this the right phone number to contact X?

That number is what they list, but good luck getting through. I tried calling last week and the automated system hung up on me twice before I even got into the queue. Your best bet might be their live chat, if you can find it.

What's the easiest way to cancel a subscription with X?

Good luck with that. The easiest way is supposed to be through your account settings, but half the time the button is greyed out or hidden behind three different menus, so I'd recommend following a guide like this one on [How to cancel X](https://www.19pine.ai/cancel-subscription/streaming-and-services/how-to-cancel-x) to avoid the runaround because the chat bot will just keep offering you a link to reset your password even though you are already logged in.

Other ways that I can contact X?

You could try their corporate office address for a physical letter if you're really serious, but that's a last resort. Sticking to their official support channels, even if they're slow, is usually the way to go for record-keeping.

Why did X remove my favorite show?

It's all about money. They remove shows and movies all the time because their licensing deals expire and they don't want to pay to renew them, even if it's the one show you were halfway through watching, which is exactly what happened to me when they pulled my comfort show right before the finale.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If X is ignoring you or gives you an answer you're not happy with, it's time to escalate. Don't give up.

First, always ask for a manager or supervisor within their own customer service department. If that goes nowhere, you can take it outside the company.

Better Business Bureau (BBB): Filing a complaint here is free and public. X will likely respond to protect its rating. The BBB acts as a mediator, but they can't force a resolution. It works, but prepare to wait. X usually responds after a couple of reminders from the BBB.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC): If your complaint involves deceptive advertising or unfair business practices, file a report with the FTC. While they don't resolve individual disputes, your complaint helps them build cases against companies.
Your State Attorney General: Your AG's office has a consumer protection division that can mediate complaints. This can be surprisingly effective.

Remember, most of these organizations will ask if you've tried to resolve the issue with X directly first, so keep records of your calls and emails.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unresolved Issue on Account [[Account #]]

Hello,

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my account. This is my third attempt to get help with an incorrect charge, and my patience is running out.

On [[Date]], I was charged [[$Amount]] for a service I had already cancelled. I contacted customer support on [[Date of first contact]], but the problem remains unsolved. Frankly, having to track this down and spend my time chasing a refund for your company's error has been incredibly frustrating.

To resolve this, I need you to issue a full refund of [[$Amount]] to my original payment method immediately. I also require a written confirmation that my subscription is cancelled and my account is closed, so this does not happen again.

Please be aware that if I do not receive a satisfactory response and confirmation of the refund within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a chargeback with my credit card company and submit a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

Here are a few extra tips that people swear by.

Ask for a supervisor immediately. If the first person you speak to is reading from a script, politely say, 'I understand, but I'd like to speak with a manager or supervisor now.'
Request a reference number. At the start of any call or chat, ask for a ticket or reference number. It makes it much harder for them to 'lose' your complaint.
Use social media with a timestamp. Don't just tweet '@X you stink.' Tweet something like, 'Hey @X_Support, I've been on hold for 45 minutes trying to fix a billing error from last Tuesday. My ticket number is 74829. Can someone help?' The specifics make them look worse and often get a faster reply.
The 'Reddit trick'. One user on Reddit mentioned they got an instant callback by emailing a publicly listed executive. It's a long shot, but for major issues, it can sometimes cut through the noise.
