An appeal explains why a service decision should be reconsidered.
The idea
State the decision, give a specific reason and ask Could you reconsider? Attach relevant evidence and ask about next steps.
Examples
- I would like to appeal the decision to cancel my booking.
- The notice says I missed the deadline, but I submitted the form on Monday.
- Could you reconsider my request in light of the attached receipt?
- We believe the charge was applied in error because our service was interrupted.
- Please explain which information you used to reach this decision.
- If the decision remains unchanged, how can I take my appeal further?
