2. Our Service

What We Do

Complaints Badger is a correspondence service. We draft and send complaint letters and correspondence on your behalf for a fixed fee. We help you communicate your concerns to companies and organisations in a clear, professional manner.

  • A regulatory body or ombudsman

We do not provide:

  • Legal advice or legal opinions
  • Legal representation
  • Guarantees about complaint outcomes
  • Claims management services
  • Court representation

All correspondence reflects your position and instructions, not legal advice from us.
