Cultural Tip

In a formal setting (e.g., writing to a bank or a public administration) it is more appropriate to use the formal *Lei* form: “Mi può dire a che punto è il mio reclamo?”. The informal *tu* version is fine with call‑center agents or when you have already established a friendly rapport.
