Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what AggravateMe costs, which agencies it lists, and what it does not do.
What is AggravateMe?
AggravateMe is a free-first consumer complaint-routing platform. It helps you find the official federal or state complaint channel for your problem, organize what happened, and keep a record of your complaint. AggravateMe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, and it is not a government agency.
Is AggravateMe free?

Is AggravateMe a government agency?
No. AggravateMe is an independent tool that helps you find official complaint agencies and prepare complaint materials. AggravateMe is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government agency.
Does AggravateMe provide legal advice?
No. AggravateMe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It helps with complaint organization, writing, routing, and follow-up planning.
How do I file a complaint through AggravateMe?
Describe what happened and choose your state and complaint type. AggravateMe shows the official agencies that handle it, with direct links to their complaint forms. You don't need an account to search. Create a free account if you want to save and track your complaint.
What types of complaints can I file?
You can find agencies for Air Travel, Banking & Finance, Consumer Protection, Education, Employment & Wages, Employment Discrimination, Environment, Food & Drug Safety, Food Safety, Fraud & Scams, Healthcare, Healthcare Privacy (HIPAA), Housing & Tenants, Insurance, Investments & Securities, Nuclear Safety, Postal & Mail, Retail & Goods, Senior Fraud, Taxes, Telecom & Internet, Utilities, and Veterans Affairs. If your problem doesn't fit a listed category, the federal agencies page lists offices that take complaints nationwide.
What states and agencies do you cover?
AggravateMe lists federal agencies, plus state agencies for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Coverage varies by state and complaint type. Local offices are not listed yet.
How do I know which agency to contact?
AggravateMe suggests agencies based on your complaint type, your state, and the details you describe. Each listing shows what the agency handles, its official complaint form, its phone number when available, and how to file.
How are agency listings checked?
Each listing shows the date AggravateMe last checked it against the agency's official website. If you find an outdated link or phone number, tell us and we will recheck it.
Can AggravateMe promise that my complaint will be resolved?
No. Filing a complaint does not guarantee an outcome. AggravateMe helps you find the agency that handles your type of problem and organize what happened before you file. What happens next depends on the agency and the facts.
What is Make My Complaint Sound Serious?
An optional one-time tool ($9.99) that turns your notes into a clear, organized written complaint you review and send yourself. It produces a formal complaint letter, an email-ready version, and a resolution summary, plus a printable guide to where you can file. Agency search and official complaint links stay free.
What is the AggravateMe Complaint Pack?
An optional one-time purchase ($19.99). It produces a formal complaint letter, an email-ready version, a resolution summary, an agency-ready summary, an evidence checklist, a timeline of events, and a follow-up plan, plus a printable guide to where you can file. Agency search and official complaint links stay free.
What is your refund policy?
Refunds are only available due to technical issues or incorrect letter generations. If a technical problem stops you from receiving your letter, or your letter is generated incorrectly, email info@aggravateme.com with your order details and we will fix it or issue a refund. Because our tools deliver a completed letter instantly, we cannot offer refunds for change of mind after a correct letter has been generated.
How does the AI assistance work?
The AI suggests a complaint category, points to agencies that fit, and flags details worth including, such as dates, amounts, and earlier contact with the company. Review and edit AI-generated content before using it. AggravateMe does not provide legal advice.
Can I share my story?
Yes. You can share what happened so other people with the same problem can learn from it. Stories are moderated, and each one reflects the experience of the person who wrote it.
Is my personal information secure?
AggravateMe uses encrypted HTTPS connections and does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Some features rely on service providers, such as payment processing, email delivery, and AI writing assistance, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Can companies respond to complaints on AggravateMe?
Not on the platform. AggravateMe routes complaints to official agencies. Companies can request a Free Friction Finder™ Evaluation of their public complaint and support process. Company-side evaluations are designed to help organizations fix preventable complaint problems, not silence legitimate criticism.
