Complaint form that captures facts, dates and desired outcome

A good complaint form turns frustration into facts you can act on. It asks for the person's contact details, the date, an order or case reference, what happened, the outcome they would like, and optional evidence such as a document or a photo.

Who it is for

When to use it

Link it from your contact page or your terms. Asking what outcome the person wants from the start clarifies what you are being asked to do, whether a refund, a correction or an apology.
