Which banking route should I use?

Use the bank route for account, transfer, fraud, scam, fee, closure or credit-file problems. Use the credit-card route when the dispute is specifically about a card transaction, chargeback or Section 75 request.

Useful contextFinancial complaints are usually stronger when the transaction dates, values, account references and previous complaint reference are separated clearly.
Avoid this mistakeDo not bury the requested remedy. State whether you want a refund, chargeback review, fee reversal, record correction or written explanation.

How to structure a banking complaint letter

Start with a concise summary of what happened, then set out the key dates, references and evidence. Keep the tone calm and factual. A business can respond more easily when the letter separates the problem, the impact and the outcome requested.

Banking complaints often need a clear final response trail before escalation to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

ClearComplaint uses this sector context to guide the letter structure, but you should always review and edit the final wording before sending it.
