Complain About X - learn how to file a complaint

How to Contact X Customer Service

Getting a reply can feel like shouting into the void. Here's a realistic timeline, but your mileage may vary.

How to Get a Faster Resolution

• Contact them during off-peak hours. Try early mornings (like 8 AM ET) on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
• Have your info ready. Your account number, the email you signed up with, and the last four digits of your credit card. Don't make them wait for you to find it.
• Be clear and concise. State your problem and what you want in the first two sentences. No long stories.

What to Do When X Ignores You

If you've tried their official channels and gotten nowhere, it's time to escalate. Don't just give up.

1. File a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

The BBB is a non-profit that helps resolve consumer disputes. It's free and surprisingly effective. X will likely respond because they don't want a public, unresolved complaint on their record. Be prepared to wait, though. The process can take a few weeks from start to finish. You have to try resolving it with X first, so make sure you mention your previous attempts in your BBB complaint.

2. Complain to Your State's Attorney General

Your state's Attorney General has a consumer protection division. Filing a complaint here is a more formal step and can get results if the issue involves deceptive practices.

3. Initiate a Credit Card Chargeback

If your complaint is about an incorrect or unauthorized charge, contact your credit card company. Explain the situation and that you tried to resolve it with the merchant first. This is a powerful tool, but use it as a last resort, as X might close your account.

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

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

On [[Date of charge]], I was charged [[$Amount]] for a service I had already cancelled. I have attached a screenshot of my cancellation confirmation for your reference. Frankly, having to chase this down and spend my time correcting 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 account is closed and no further charges will be made.

Please be aware that if this is not resolved 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.

Pro Tips for Making Your Complaint Heard

• Ask for a reference number immediately. Whether you're on live chat or email, get a ticket or reference number. It's your proof that the conversation happened.
• Use keywords in your complaint. Mention words like 'cancellation,' 'refund,' 'unauthorized charge,' and 'formal complaint.' These often get flagged for a higher level of review.
• Take screenshots of everything. Chat conversations, error messages, confirmation pages. One Reddit user mentioned they only got a refund after sending a timestamped screenshot of the cancellation screen that proved they cancelled before the billing date.
• Request a supervisor. If the first-level support agent is giving you the runaround, politely but firmly ask to speak with a manager or supervisor who has the authority to solve your problem.

Tired of getting the same scripted 'we're looking into it' response from X? Sound familiar? It's exhausting.
