Letter Writing Service for Complaint Letters That Get Results

Professional UK complaint letters without the solicitor’s price tag

Most of us have en let down by a company, public body, or service at some point. A phone call or live chat can solve simple issues, buthen you need a serious outcome such as a refund, compensation, or a policy review, you often need something stronger: a clear, well-structured complaint letter addressed to the right person at the right level.

That is where a professional letter writing service becomes powerful. Instead of sending an emotional message that is easy to ignore, you send a focused, confident letter that shows you mean business.

Why a written complaint still carries real weight

In the UK, many organisations have formal complaints procedures that require written evidence before they escalate a case.

A good complaint letter can:

• Prove you raised the issue properly

• Show you understand your rights

• Make it easier for the ombudsmen or regulators to support you if needed

  
  

Bodies such as Citizens Advice and Which? publish complaint templates because written complaints work. A clear letter, sent to the right person often carries more weight than ten phone calls.

Why not just pay a solicitor?

You can ask a solicitor to write a letter, but it is rarely cheap. Many people are quoted well over £200 per letter, with no promise of success and no guarantee that the tone will actually help the situation rather than inflame it.

For most consumer and everyday disputes, that is overkill.

LetterLab provides a UK letter writing service that focuses on practical results rather than legal theatre. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. What we do is turn your situation into a clear, assertive complaint letter that:

• Sets out the facts, timeline, and evidence

• Refers to relevant policies or guidance where appropriate

• Shows what result you want

• Makes it easy for the reader to respond and resolve the issue

  
  

All for a fraction of the cost of a solicitor’s letter.

Why a generic template is not always enough

There are plenty of free templates online, including from Citizens Advice and the Legal Ombudsman for specialist situations. These are very useful, especially if you feel confident editing them.

However, templates have limits:

• They cannot capture the nuance of your exact situation

• They often sound “copy and paste”

• They may not match the tone needed for your specific organisation

• They can miss important details, attachments, or escalation routes

  
  

LetterLab sits in the gap between doing it yourself and paying a solicitor. You tell us what happened, we turn it into a tailored complaint letter that speaks directly to the decision-maker.

What LetterLab’s complaint letter writing service includes

When you ask LetterLab to help with a council complaint letter UK, a bank dispute, or any other formal issue, you get more than just tidy grammar.

We focus on five key elements:

1. Clarity of purpose

   We pin down exactly what you want: refund, repair, policy review, written apology, reconsideration of a decision, or escalation to a senior team

   
   

2. Accurate timeline and evidence

   We help you set out dates, reference numbers, and actions you have already taken. Guidance from bodies like the Financial Ombudsman Service shows how vital this is when a complaint escalates.

   
   

3. Calm but firm tone

   We remove the rant and keep the resolve. That balance between polite and assertive is what gets a letter taken seriously.

   
   

4. Right recipient an opy list

   Where appropriate, we can suggest sending copies to a head office, regulator, or ombudsman. For example:

   
   

   • Council complaint - Send a copy to relevant head of service

   • Financial complaint - Send a copy to the Financial Ombudsman Service once you have a final response

   • Housing complaint with reference to Citizens Advice housing letters

     
     

5. Next steps and expectations

   We close the letter with a clear request for action and a sensible time frame, which makes follow-up much easier if you need to escalate later.

LetterLab can write complaint letters to?

Our complaint letter writing service is suitable for a wide range of organisations, including:

• Local and national government departments

• UK councils and housing teams

• NHS Trusts and hospitals (non-clinical complaint letters)

If an organisation has a complaints process, a well-written letter can usually plug into it.

How our process works

Working with LetterLab is simple:

1. You tell us what happened

   You can send your notes, emails, screenshots, or a rough draft. You do not need to write perfectly — just explain what has gone on in your own words.

   
   

2. We review the situation

   We read everything carefully and identify the key facts, your desired outcome, and any missing details that matter.

   
   

3. We write your letter for you

   We then produce a clear, structured complaint letter in your voice but with professional polish, ready for you to send by email or post.

   
   

4. You check and approve

   You can ask for tweaks so the letter feels fully “you”. Once you are happy, you send it and keep a copy for your records.

   
   

5. Optional: support with follow-ups

   If you receive a weak response or no response at all, we can help you write a follow-up or escalation letters, for example to an ombudsman or regulator, using guidance from sources such as Citizens Advice on ombudsmen.

Why LetterLab instead of going it alone?

You can absolutely write your own complaint letter. Many people do, especially with help from sites like Citizens Advice and Which?.

However, people come to LetterLab when:

• They are emotionally drained and cannot face writing it

• English is not their first language and they worry about tone

• The issue is complex and they want a well-ordered account

• Past letters have been ignored and they need something stronger

• They want a persuasive letter without paying solicitor-level fees

  
  

Our focus is simple: clear, credible writing that improves your chances of being taken seriously.

A quick checklist before you send any complaint letter

Whether you use LetterLab or not, check your letter for:

• Full name, address, and contact details

• Reference numbers, account numbers, or case IDs

• Dates and sequence of events

• Copies of key documents or screenshots

• A clear statement of what you want done

• A polite but firm closing paragraph

• A saved copy for your records

  
  

If anything on that list is missing, your complaint is easier to sideline.
