How to File Your Amtrak Complaints the Easy Way

Amtrak, officially the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, is a passenger railroad service that was founded in 1971. The name Amtrak was formed from the words America and track. They provide medium distance and long-distance rail service to more than 500 destinations, primarily throughout the contiguous United States and to a few cities in Canada.

Amtrak is based in Washington, D.C. and operates more than 300 trains daily. Whether your trip was severely delayed or canceled with little notice, you had issues with an employee, or you experienced another problem, DoNotPay can help you navigate the process of filing Amtrak complaints.

Contact Amtrak Complaints Department

There are a few different methods you can use to reach out to Amtrak. Below are a few options:

How to File a Complaint Against Amtrak

If you have exhausted your efforts to work through your issue with Amtrak customer service, and they have not been able to resolve the issue, you may decide to take further action and file a complaint against the company. Below are the main parties that you can contact when you wish to pursue Amtrak further:

1. Amtrak Police Department - If your issue involves crime or suspicious activity, you should also file a report with the Amtrak Police Department.

• Phone - (800) 331-0008
• Text - APD11 (27311)
• 911 - Call 911 in an emergency

2. Better Business Bureau - Amtrak is not a BBB accredited business, but you can file a complaint. They currently have a C- rating. If you click the "file a complaint" button, they will walk you through the entire process.

3. Office of Inspector General - This reporting method should be reserved for fraud, abuse and waste of resources, which are not your typical customer service issues. However, you can learn about whistleblower rights, which can be useful for employees who want to file a complaint or make issues known.

Can You Send Demand Letters To Amtrak Over Customer Service Issues?

At this time, customers cannot send demand letters to Amtrak. There is an arbitration clause in your ticket purchase that prevents you from suing and seeking trial by judge or jury. Disputes such as ticket refunds, lost luggage, even personal injury or death, must be handled through arbitration.

This quietly went into effect in 2019. Employees may have different rights, as may non-ticketed/non-customer individuals.
