Learn How To Write Complaint Letters.

Most Common Mistakes When Writing a Complaint Letter

We have been flooded with emails, comments, questions and some great feedback from all of you. Thank you so much for participating in our conversation. With all the questions that we have been receiving and answering individually, we decided to post some of the more popular ones. Here’s our first one:

What are the most common mistakes people make when they write complaint letters?

Mistake #1: Angry letters don’t work.  Nobody likes to deal with someone “screaming” at them… even in print.

Mistake #2: The writer doesn’t clearly state the problem, or how they want to be compensated for their troubles.

Mistake #3: The letter fails to make a “human connection;” the best complaint letters express disappointment… they’re personal.

Good tips. I am in the process of writing a complaint letter now, and recalled months ago I had found a great one by you, fortunately I was able to find this site again =)

PS - the www version of your site is not working for me, and it’s not even redirecting to the non-www version. May want to check on it, or perhaps I’ve got some issue on my side.

  • Praise For The Book

    "You need Bruce Silverman's book. You'll learn how to cajole, flatter and bamboozle your way into apologies, make-goods, refunds and even extra freebies. Don't just sit there, damn it! Learn how to complain!
    Peter Hochstein
    The New York Crank

    "Praise with faint damn" is the underlying secret to how professional complaint letter writer Bruce Silverman is able to be so successful in getting companies to give him free stuff. First class upgrades, Room upgrades with views of frolicking whales, Checks for hundreds of dollars... all these and more are the fruits of Bruce's calculated typewriter clacking.
    The Consumerist

    "Mr. Silverman’s book, while both engaging and humorous, reminds me as a hotel executive with almost 30 years in the industry, that with just common sense and forethought any businessperson can provide service that exceeds expectations.””
    Don Weintraub
    President & CEO
    Grapevine, L.L.C Hospitality Consulting

    “Bruce Silverman has elevated complaining to an art form. He is my role model from
    now on!  Now I'm armed with the right things to say and do and I laughed the entire
    time I learned them. Our only difference: I'll decorate the envelopes in which I send my complaints.”
    Judi Kauffman
    Author of “By the Batch: Creative Cards, Postcards, Envelopes & More”
     
     
    “Silverman shows how to obtain relief from a poor experience without litigation. My
    only "complaint" is that his techniques are so effective that he doesn't need a lawyer to help enforce his rights!” 
    David Deutsch
     Esq., Partner, Citron & Deutsch
     
     
    “As president of a company in a service business, I've learned that it’s good business to  learn about small customer problems before they become much bigger ones. I'm going to purchase a copy of the book for all my friends!”
    Daniel Matlick
    President, United Fire Equipment Company

      
     
    “When Andy Rooney finally packs it in, CBS should grab the King of Complainers, Bruce Silverman, who shows how to "do something about it!”
    Cole Hartman
     Vice President - Horizon Media
     
    “Silverman's system brings fast results.  I took his advice and wrote a letter to the owner of a New York City hotel that overcharged me and within days, my bill was adjusted!”
    Paxton Quiqley
    Author of Armed & Female
     
     
    “Silverman is the King of Kvetches, who rules an imperfect world with a rapier wit and
    stinging pen. He gets results; readers will, too.”
      Frank Kauffman
    Public Affairs Executive

     
     
    “Informative and amusing, it's a fun way to learn how to effectively stand up for
    yourself!”
