Talk about a thing you complained something ( but finally got a good result)

You should say:

  • a. What did you complain about
  • b. Who you complained to
  • c. When it happened
  • d. What was the result and why you were satisfied with the result?

Sample:

● Well, I am a kind of person who usually does not like to complain a lot.

● But when something is not done in the right way, I feel it’s my duty to get it corrected, because complaining about it will make sure that it does not happen again.

● Today, I would like to talk about a situation when I complained about a service and eventually got it corrected

● It happened during last month when I had to get my account statement from the bank, which I needed for applying my visa

● When I reached the bank in the morning, the officer told me that the bank’s printer was broken.

● He asked me to come back again the next day.

● When I went to the bank the next day he again told me the same reason.

● I requested them to get it fixed as it was an urgent requirement for me, but the bank officials did not seem to bother much about it.

● So I decided to file a complaint with the higher authorities.

● I came back home, opened the bank’s website and sent an email to the bank management at their headquarters

● I immediately got a call back from them and they said they will take strict action against this complaint.

● I thanked them and went again to the bank.

● To my surprise, as soon as I entered the bank, the manager came to me with my account statement.

● They had got the printer fixed immediately after my complaint.

● I came to know that a lot of other people were also suffering because of this issue.

● The manager asked me to take my complaint back as senior management issued a notice to him for not listening to the customers, but I refused to do the same.

● I told him it is his responsibility to look after the customers and listen to their problems.

● He then apologised for it and promised me that in future he will take great care about it.

● So this was a time when I complained about something and got a good result.
