Did you already review the complaint you sent?
Sí, estoy viendo lo de la queja que puse.

✕Common Mistakes
Estoy viendo la queja que puse.
Missing 'lo de' makes the sentence sound less natural; 'lo de' refers back to the whole matter of the complaint.
Estoy viendo lo de la queja que puse ayer.
Adding 'ayer' changes the meaning; the original sentence refers to the complaint itself, not when it was filed.
Estoy viendo lo de la queja que puse yo.
The pronoun 'yo' is redundant because the verb 'puse' already indicates the subject.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the verb 'poner' is idiomatically used with 'queja' (poner una queja) to mean 'to file a complaint'. The phrase 'lo de' is informal and very common in everyday conversation, so it adds a natural, colloquial tone to the sentence.
