Customer Complaint Response Letters

About this document

What it’s for

A set of complaint letters that work with the Customer Complaints Policy and Procedure in this pack. They keep the customer informed, explain decisions clearly and include the information about alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that consumers must now be given when you tell them the outcome.

When to use it

  • Whenever you receive a complaint that cannot be resolved on the spot
  • When you need more information or more time
  • When you give your decision, a review outcome or a settlement offer

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Your complaint
  • What we did
  • What we found and our decision
  • If you are not satisfied
  • Acceptance

How to complete it

  • Pick the letter for the stage you have reached and fill in every placeholder
  • In final responses, choose one outcome option and one ADR option, and delete the rest
  • Use plain language, avoid jargon and do not copy and paste generic text
  • Send by email or post and keep a copy on the complaint file

Key points to check

  • Never tell a consumer they have fewer rights than the law gives them
  • Check the ADR details are correct before every final response

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
