Assuming that by "unlimited complaint", you mean one that seeks unspecified money damages, you would need to file suit in the court having no limits to its monetary jurisdiction. In some US jurisdictions, they are referred to as Circuit Courts, but go by a variety of names in other states.
There is no fixed filing fee--it depends upon the court in which you are filing. Filing fees are set by states and counties, so you need to contact the Clerk of Court for the county in which you will file. If is a matter within the jurisdiction of a federal court, you will need to contact the Clerk of the US District Court of the location in which you will file suit.
The first filing would be the Complaint.
In Civil Law, a “complaint” is the very first formal action taken to officially begin a lawsuit. This written document contains the allegations against the defense, the specific laws violated, the facts that led to the dispute, and any demands made by the plaintiff to restore justice.
First you need to identify the venue to file in. This would be the civil court that handles civil issues in the city which you are suing in. For instance, if you lent money to a friend who is in another city than you, then the venue you file in is the city the transaction took place. Filing in the wrong venue means you have to start all over again. Once you identify the venue go to the small claims court and pick up a small claims form for the plantiff (you). Fill out the form and have the court clerk verify it is complete, correct, and pay your court fees. You then have to serve the defendant (the person you are suing) a copy of your case (the forms you just filled out). The court clerk will be able to help you. Some states have very strict guidelines as to how a person can be served. If it is not done properly you have to start over. You don't want to get to court and find out that the defendant was improperly served and have your case thrown out. Online court documents can be found on the courts website.
Generally in a criminal matter, it's required that you receive a summons no later than 10 days after the filing of a complaint (criminal charge). In a civil matter, it should be no less than 10 days after receiving your answer (dispute to a complaint).
You could first try filing an appeal through normal channels. If not successful, you can try filing a petition/motion against the agency in state court for unfair or inequitable treatment.

In Civil Law, an “answer” is the first formal response given by the defense to a complaint filed with the court by the plaintiff. This opening written statement will admit or deny the allegations, or demand more information about the claims of wrongdoing.
The first step in any pre-trial procedure is typically the filing of a complaint or petition by the plaintiff or prosecutor, outlining the legal claims or charges against the defendant.
It is called either a "complaint" or a "petition". The nomenclature depends upon the jurisdiction and/or the underlying cause of action.
