BBB farce
March 3, 2022

I'm so sick and tired of review sites like the BBB picking and choosing their published reviews, somehow leaving out certain reviews for select companies. How does this continue to happen.

I'm not sure if the BBB does this but I'm ready to find out. I had a tooth murdered by Aspen Dental, so no I don't think they deserve a perfect score anywhere.

Does anyone else have interest in helping start up a class action lawsuit against review sites that accept payment in return for the removal of real reviews. No not those sickening sweet FAKE reviews very unethical dental companies plant online to counteract the thousands of new reviews posted each year. Find us on Facebook under the real ADMI or Aspen Dental Mass Invasion. We are also seeking an attorney to help our cause.

BBB is bunk af
March 1, 2022

I left a review about a business few days ago on BBB. Then BBB sent me an email. Saying I need to provide my personal info so they can share it with the business, but they won't post me review, they're saying I was never a customer. Which is wrong. I deal with that particular business daily, and I already provided my name and email address to BBB. Im not giving out any other personal info. This is a load of BS

THIS IS A ZERO STAR REVIEW:

On 1-13-22 I wrote a review for a local business in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The Prescott Valley BBB noted they will email ne back within 6 days. This is now 28 days later and I not only posted this review once but twice.

I wouldn't recommend this BBB to anybody, and I'm ashamed to say that because the BBB in different parts of this country have helped me out numerous times.

Bryant Electrical HVAC Lexington KY came and replaced a burned out motor on our heat pump. The Tech answered all of our questions. He did an excellent job. I would recommend BRYANT HVAC for any repairs needed on your heating and cooling system. Super nice TECH and office people.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the Better Business Bureau. "Re: Case # *******: SFI Marketing Group Dear Mr./Ms. Babcock, Thank you for following up with BBB regarding your position in the above-mentioned dispute. We understand you are NOT satisfied with the business's response, and have noted your dissatisfaction in our files. While we regret we were unable to reach your desired resolution, the business has provided BBB with its position. This matter is now closed in BBB files, and will appear in the company's BBB Business Review as: "Answered - the business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer remains dissatisfied." Please note, the text of your response may be publicly posted on BBB's website. BBB reserves the right to not post in accordance with BBB policy, and we may edit your response to protect privacy rights and to remove inappropriate language. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service, and sincerely hope you will contact us for pre-purchase information.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann R
Dispute Resolution Specialist"
I contacted BBB to get the PSAs that I paid for. For doing this SFI terminated my account in front of BBB's very eyes. I have lost over $10,000 and 5 years of hard work because of this. BBB did not resolve the dispute; BBB made it worse! The BBB has condoned SFI's behavior and knowingly has become complicit in SFI's elaborate scam.

BBB sucks
October 28, 2021

The BBB no longer works for the consumer. When I filed a BBB complaint against the US Bank as the US Bank is not allowing me to access my account and cash, they closed it within hours and the BBB will not assist.
THE BBB SUCKS.

BBB Ratings?
September 28, 2021

If you have a complaint against a business and google possible helpful suggestion; you will probably be directed to the BBB. I am over 70 years old and have probably filed 3-4 complaints in my lifetime. In every case, there was no resolution and the business will not answer your questions.
Instead of helping the consumer and trying to get the business to answer your questions, the BBB will allow the business multiple extensions, not press the company to answer questions, and eventually just drop your complaint. In addition to just dropping the case, the BBB does not always post the complaint... BUT YOU SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED... THE BBB IS FUNDED BY THESE COMPANIES AND WILL PROVIDE THEM COVER AND INFLATE THEIR RATING. My suggestion is to make a complaint to the FTC and your attorney general.

I had to file a complaint against Anker Technologies for their shoddy business practices during the Covid mess. These are the infamous wireless earbud people. This was June 2021, so fairly recent. BBB sends me system email updates that my "complaint is under review and someone will follow up" Then two other emails stating my complaint is marked 'invalid' because it was a duplicate. WTH. I click the links to see their automated response, including a cheap "apology" from Anker. But no option to proceed. So basically Anker STILL has my money, and I won't hold my breath that I'll ever get it refunded!

I love the better business bureau they are very helpful with what they can help you with. They can only do so much but I use the bbb all the time when a problem occurs with someone that tries to rip me off. I file a complaint and it usually gets solved.

RiverRunners Estate Sales conducted a sale of all our house contents in March 2021. From the beginning we knew that we were in good hands. Dennis explained their team's process and our responsibilities. All items were set up beautifully for the sale. Three days of sale were advertised and carried out according to plan. Clean-up was as promised. We were very happy with their work. Ross and Carol

Recently I filed a complaint against Cheapoair.com with NYC BBB. After the company responded and I refused, and the company responded again and I refused again, BBB closed the complaint with the following observation:
"The business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer either (a) did not accept the response, OR (b) did not notify BBB as to their satisfaction."

So, the BBB acted as judge, jury, and executioner to decide that (A) the company had responded to my issues, and (B) the consumer was at fault for not accepting the company response.

If they wanted to be fair, unbiased, and neutral, this is what they should have said:
"The consumer and business exchanged their positions and issues but couldn't reach an agreement. The consumer is dissatisfied with the business response".

A completely useless and biased organization that is a protector of companies, not of consumers.

A complete Joke.
August 21, 2020

They don't care about consumers, they get their money from the people who rip you off, like Frontier Communications a company that will soon be out of business because it is so poorly run at the top, (Corporate Level).

Despite what their sales people might tell you, (Bait & Switch) Frontier Communications does not do TV any more. Their cable TV is from AT&T. So to get you to switch, Frontier Communications slowly takes the TV channels that you have been watching for four years and turns them into "subscription only" channels. To top it off they have removed approximately 25 channels from me and told the stupid people at BBB that they were preview channels. When I objected to what Frontier Communications replied, the BBB did not allow me to respond, even though I tried numerous times, even going directly to the person at the BBB who was supposed to be handling my complaint. The BBB closed my complaint, because I did not respond. I have three emails where I have responded. The BBB just doesn't want to upset Frontier Communications because they might lose the money that they receive from Frontier Communications.

Don't waste you time complaining to the BBB, just note that they are a lot worse than some of the companies who have been taking advantage and ripping off us consumers.
