Appearance
First, you will have to understand where the claims come from and how to correctly write a claim to Sberbank. This is an important point. The basis for cooperation between a citizen and a bank is the concluded agreement. It describes all the features of providing certain services.
Most often in practice, complaints arise regarding:
- lending;
- providing mortgages;
- on cash and settlement issues.
Complaints are prompted by the emergence of controversial situations or direct violation of the concluded agreement by the bank. But how to write a claim to Sberbank? What information should all clients be aware of?

- Indication of the person to whom the claim is addressed (if you do not know the name of the manager, you can simply write: “To the manager and indicate the name of the organization”).
- Indication of your personal data (last name, first name and patronymic).
- Below, in the center, the name of the document (“Claim”) is indicated.
- In its main part it is necessary to set out the factual circumstances that, in your opinion, constitute a violation of your rights. It should be stated briefly, focusing only on those details that really matter when considering the claim.
Submission form
The application form of the established form is not fixed at the legislative level in any way. Only one thing is known - the claim must be presented on a tangible medium. Oral complaints will not be accepted.
Accordingly, among the main methods of filing claims are:
- written form (in person or by mail);
- electronic interpretation.
There are no more options. The first type of claim is most often used. It is considered the most reliable. In addition, written complaints allow you to submit complaints about the actions of organizations to various authorities. For example, to court.
Ways to write a complaint
Sberbank offers to leave complaints by phone. But often a person cannot clearly and clearly describe the problem during oral communication, and such a request, despite the registration number, often turns out to be lost. For these reasons, it is best to make any complaint in writing.
You can submit a complaint through the website
Let's consider the main ways to send written requests:
- Transfer to bank branch employees.
- Sending a paper claim by regular mail.
- Sending through online banking or website.
The least convenient way to submit a claim is to send it by registered mail with notification. But sometimes this is the only way to be sure to send an application to a financial institution and receive documentary evidence of your actions. Correspondence can be sent to the central office of the bank. Usually this needs to be done in an extreme situation, when it is not possible to obtain an answer and resolve the issue by other means.
At a bank branch
The easiest option to submit a paper application is to contact the Sberbank office. It is necessary to prepare an application in 2 copies in advance. On one of them you need to get a mark from a responsible bank employee.
Often, employees of a credit institution take advantage of the fact that the client provided only 1 copy of the claim and, after accepting it, simply “forget” to transfer it to management for consideration. You should always have a document confirming the direction of the application. Without it, it will be almost impossible to prove the fact of filing a complaint, and this will be very important if the problem has to be resolved in court.
Online
Sberbank is actively developing online services for its clients, simplifying the receipt of services and making it possible to save time. You don't have to go anywhere to apply. It can be submitted online through the website or Sberbank Online.
Even if you do not use mobile and Internet banking, you still have the opportunity to submit questions, wishes, complaints and claims to the bank through a special form on the website. For clients using online banking, exchange of letters with a credit institution is possible through it.
All letters sent via the Internet are registered. After receiving the request number, you can use it to track the status on the Sberbank website and monitor compliance with response deadlines.
The claim must be made in two copies
Where to go for help
You can write a claim against Sberbank of Russia without much difficulty. The main thing is to understand where exactly to go. It all depends on the nature of the violation committed. It is recommended not to rush into complaints until the exact circumstances are clarified. It is better to carefully study the concluded agreement. Maybe Sberbank did not violate the established rules. It often happens that clients simply do not carefully study the signed agreement. Therefore, the claims have no legal basis.
If you are not satisfied with the service, you can contact the bank in one of the following ways.
1. Call the contact center:
— to number 900 — free from a mobile phone in Russia;
— to a number from anywhere in the world, the cost of the call is according to the tariff of your telecom operator;
— from the Sberbank Online mobile application — an Internet call is free if your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, a call via the mobile Internet is at the operator’s rate.
2. Write on the feedback page on the bank’s website.
3. Write in the “Dialogues” service in the Sberbank Online mobile application.
4. Contact the bank office that is convenient for you.
An appeal can also be submitted through the Central Bank, as well as other authorities. However, sending an application directly to Sberbank has a number of advantages:
- The answer will be prepared faster.
- The principles of decision-making do not change depending on the channel of application: even when submitting an application through the Central Bank, the same uniform established procedures will still be applied as when applying directly to a financial institution.
- You can send the necessary documents and track the status of your application on the Sberbank website or through your Sberbank Online personal account. You don't have to go to a bank office or other organizations.
- If you disagree with the answer, you can contact the ombudsman service, which reports directly to the president of the bank and double-checks the legality of the previous decision.
If the client is sure that his rights have been violated, he must determine what kind of violation took place. Depending on the answer, you can send a complaint to one or another authority.
For today, the following reminder will help you get your bearings:
- Violations of the concluded agreement are considered both in Sberbank and in court. First, the claim is sent to Sberbank using any of the above methods. If there is no result from the appeal, you can go to court.
- Rudeness towards clients and unreasonable refusals to provide certain services are considered by Rospotrebnazdor. Crimes are considered administrative violations.
- Fraud, deception of clients, forgery of papers - this is a terrible violation of the law. Therefore, claims against Sberbank should be sent to the prosecutor’s office or the police.
There is nothing extremely difficult to understand. But how to write a claim to Sberbank? What tips and recommendations will help to send an appeal to one or another authority legally?
Where to complain if the answer is not satisfactory
The response received from a banking organization does not always satisfy all the client’s claims. In this case, there are other authorities where you can file a complaint about the work of employees or the department as a whole. As a rule, such complaints are filed if the client’s rights have been violated or the banking organization has violated the law. However, it is worth noting that such requests are considered within 30 days, and sometimes much longer. In this case, the applicant is advised to be patient and strong.
Central Bank
All banking institutions of the Russian Federation are supervised by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. It is he who regulates the work of these companies, so complaints to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation may well be justified if:
- Sberbank violates the bank secrecy law and discloses information to third parties
- company employees violate work standards and unreasonably refuse service to a client, for example, opening a deposit
- hide information about current tariffs, rates, etc.
In order to file a complaint, you must go to the website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and click on the “Internet reception” button. There will be four blocks presented here, from which you must select “Submit a complaint.” And then, you need to follow the instructions where necessary:
- select the banking product that has problems;
- choose a financial company;
- write the text of the appeal no more than 5000 characters and, if necessary, attach files confirming what was said.
Your appeal will be registered, after which it will be sent to the necessary structures. As practice shows, a response to an appeal comes within a few days. If the situation is quite unusual or complex, this may take longer.
Rospotrebnadzor
This institution deals with issues related to violations of consumer rights. There are two ways to file a complaint:
- By email, by writing a letter on the Rospotrebnadzor website using the “Feedback” form.
- Call the toll-free hotline 88001000004.
The text of the appeal must be contained in 2000 characters and, if necessary, attach documents confirming the problem that has arisen. Depending on the complexity of the issue, a decision will be received within 10-30 days from the date of application.
Federal Antimonopoly Service
You should contact this structure for help if:
- additional services are imposed on the client, including insurance services;
- are forcibly forced to cooperate with a specific financial organization;
- do not comply with the terms of the promotion, etc.
You can file a complaint using an email on the website through the “Contacts” tab, by hand-delivering a letter by making an appointment, or by placing a letter of appeal in a special mailbox located on the ground floor of the FAS.
Roskomnadzor
This institution is designed to protect the client’s personal data, therefore, if the law on the storage of personal data has been violated in relation to the applicant, then Roskomnadzor should be contacted. You can find out the details of the application by calling +74959876800, or by contacting the office of the structural organization in person. You must have an identification document with you.
Prosecutor's office
We can say that this is the last resort to which you should contact if all other appeals have failed. You should contact the territorial authority located at your place of residence. All available documentation on this issue (response from the bank, letters, etc.) will need to be attached to the application. Moscow residents can file a complaint online.
Statement of claim to court
The most serious step is going to court. In this case, the client needs to be completely sure that he is right, otherwise the case will be lost, and the client will also suffer financial losses. To file a claim in court, it is necessary to collect all documentation related to this issue (complaints, appeals, their numbers, photographs, receipts, etc.). However, it is worth remembering that legal costs will be paid by the party that loses the case.
Electronic view
A claim is a kind of attempt to peacefully resolve disputes or violations that have arisen. Accordingly, to begin with, it is recommended to contact Sberbank directly. As already mentioned, you can bring your idea to life not only through a personal appeal, but also by filing an electronic claim. But not every client knows what is needed for this.
How to write a claim to Sberbank electronically? For this you will need:
- Go to the bank’s official website, in the “Feedback” section.
- Indicate the purpose and reason for the appeal.
- Describe the situation in detail.
- Provide contact details.
If the problem is not resolved, then you can go to court with a similar appeal.
How to express dissatisfaction with the work of Sberbank?
The first thing that is required from the client is to comply with the complaint procedure. It means that in order to express dissatisfaction, one should first turn to the management of the credit institution itself, and only then to external regulatory structures.
You can submit a complaint to a Sberbank branch in the following ways:
Call the hotline
To make a complaint, call 8800 555 5550 or 900 (mobile devices only). Practice shows that this method is one of the most useless. Your grievances will be listened to, you will express your emotions, but it is naive to hope for a decision to return the money after the conversation. Often the dialogue ends in nothing, the appeal is not formalized properly.
Through the Internet
You need to go to the bank’s official website and find the “Feedback” menu item – https://www.sberbank.ru/ru/feedback?channel=person. A form will open, inside which you will need to describe the essence of the request. Your electronic application will be accepted and will have an incoming number by which you can track the status of the document.
A complaint about Sberbank on the website is usually processed quickly: it takes no more than seven business days to receive a response. Often the response resembles an unsubscribe and does not satisfy the client.
Written appeal
Express your desire to complain to the manager of Sberbank PJSC, and he will give you a request form and a sample application for a refund. This method is more effective than a hotline or a website: it is not beneficial for the head of the department that the document is sent to a higher authority; he will do everything possible to resolve the issue at his level.
Third Party Resources
To complain about a negligent Sberbank employee, you can leave a negative review on independent resources dedicated to the work of banks. Your comment will attract the attention of potential clients and management, which will increase the likelihood of the issue being resolved in your favor.
Practice shows that to achieve a quick result, you need not to limit yourself to one method, but to try several appeal options.
The processing time for applications at Sberbank is set at 25 working days. If 30 days or more have passed and no response has been given or a dry reply has been received instead, it’s time to turn to external structures for help.
Sample
How to write a complaint to Sberbank? A sample of this document will be presented below. It is only a template that can be used when making claims against a banking organization.
Based on everything previously written, the complaint against the actions of Sberbank will look like this:
To the Head of Sberbank OJSC
from Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich.
Claim
On June 15, 2006, I deposited funds into the bank’s cash desk as a monthly payment under loan agreement No. 222 in the amount of 10,000 (ten thousand) rubles 00 kopecks. Sberbank branch where the action took place: Moscow, st. Ivan Susanina, house 12.
On July 15, 2006, when I came to make the next payment, the department employee told me that no funds had been received for the previous month. And they demanded that I pay the loan immediately in 2 months. At the same time, they requested a penalty in the amount of 15,000 (fifteen thousand) rubles 00 kopecks.
The employee did not react in any way to the payment slip I presented for last month. He still demanded that I pay double payment along with penalties. I consider these actions illegal. Therefore, I ask you to consider my case and send the answer to the address: Moscow, st. Petrishcheva, house 15, apt. 8.
Now it’s clear how to write a claim against Sberbank of Russia. A sample document sent directly to the organization's head office has been reviewed. In the same way, you can write a claim to Sberbank for a refund. What to do if actions do not bring results? Then the proposed template will be slightly modified.
Terms of consideration
Sberbank considers most requests within 5 days. But sometimes it takes more time to resolve a specific issue. The standard period for processing an application regulated by a credit institution is 15 days. Only in certain cases can it be increased to 30 days, for example, if the bank needed to conduct internal proceedings or request documents from remote branches.
Alas, Sberbank does not always comply with the deadlines for processing requests. Very often, clients complain that they are repeatedly renewed and cannot get a response even after 30-45 days.
The bank is obliged to consider the claim within the time limits provided by law
Response from the bank to the complaint
In response to a complaint, the bank usually expresses its position; if it is satisfied, it reports on the measures taken. If the credit institution refuses to satisfy the client’s demands, it explains its reasons, if this is permissible by law.
When sending a request via Sberbank Online, the response to it can usually be viewed in the Internet bank. In other cases, you will have to contact the office of the credit institution to receive a written response. Or wait until it is sent by mail (if such a request was included in the letter).
Complaint to authorities
If the document needs to be sent to higher authorities, then the text can be changed according to the following principle:
To the district court of the Leningradsky district of Moscow
From Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich.
Please consider my claim against Sberbank of Russia. On July 16, 2006, I sent a complaint against the actions of a bank branch employee regarding the issue of making monthly loan payments. The text of the appeal is attached to this complaint.
On July 26, 2006, I received a response from the head office of Sberbank, according to which the employee’s actions were considered legal. They demanded that I pay several months' worth of money along with penalties. The text of the response is attached to this document.
I ask you to study the attached materials and acknowledge the fact of unlawful actions of a Sberbank employee.
In what cases can you get a refund for a product?
Almost any product purchased in the store can be returned. Let's look at the situations in which an application is submitted to the seller.
Return of quality goods
In accordance with Article 25 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, the client has the right to refuse a product that does not suit the color, dimensions, size, or technical characteristics. The return period is 14 days , so you need to write a request in a timely manner and submit it to the seller.
We must remember! There are a number of goods that cannot be returned due to the fact that they do not meet the consumer properties. An exhaustive list was approved by Government Decree No. 55 of January 19, 1998. It includes medicines, plants, and hygiene items.
Example 1. Timofeeva O. E. purchased a mink coat in a store. A week later she decided to return the item because it was too long.

The money was returned within a week.
Return of low-quality products
If during operation it turns out that the purchase has a number of defects, a refund for goods of inadequate quality is possible on the basis of Article 18 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights.
The consumer must prove that the malfunction is a manufacturing defect. In this regard, the product is first transferred to the seller for examination. If the store is found to be at fault, the money will be refunded.
You must request a return of the product within the warranty period. Typically, the warranty period is set by the manufacturer and indicated in the technical documentation. If it is not set by anything, then by default it is considered equal to two years.
Before returning the money to the buyer, the store checks the quality of the item within 7-20 days . There are situations when the product is in the service center for a long time and after 45 days it is determined that it is impossible to carry out warranty repairs
Important! For technically complex goods, a special rule applies, according to which within 15 days due to minor defects. After the two-week period, only goods with significant defects can be returned.
Example 2. Antonov E.A. I bought a cell phone at the shopping center. Within a week after the purchase, it turned out that the equipment did not catch the net well. The buyer contacted the store with a request for a refund for the product. The seller conducted a quality examination, which determined that the phone had a manufacturing defect. The funds were returned to the client.
