What they did

What can you do when a company won't refund you and support writes in another language? He says his Grok Bot handled his billing dispute with OpenAI: it translated the support replies, drafted his answers, grabbed screenshots from his account dashboard as proof, and filed an EU consumer complaint when they refused the refund.

How it went

Clear translated replies, a folder of evidence, and a complaint ready to file if the company says no.

Worth knowing

  • Short post; the outcome of the complaint isn't reported yet. Complaint routes differ by country (EU consumer bodies, US state attorneys general, card chargebacks). Read the complaint before it's filed.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Help me with a billing dispute with [company]. Read the support emails in [inbox or folder], translate them for me and explain where things stand. Draft my replies in [language] and stick to facts and dates. Collect proof (charges, dates, screenshots of my account) into one folder. If they refuse, tell me which consumer complaint body covers this [EU / my state / country], draft the complaint and show it to me before you file anything.
