The BBB. Where to start. 1) A landmark expose by ABC News caught BBB representatives explicitly telling business owners that the only way to fix a failing grade (F) was to pay for membership. In one instance, a group of business owners successfully generated an "A" rating for a fake Hamas terror group website simply by paying the annual fee. 2) major $200 million class-action lawsuit filed by Brookstone Law accused the BBB of acting as a "racket" that used blackmail and coercion to force businesses into buying "accreditation" packages 3) A deep-dive investigation by CNN revealed that hundreds of businesses maintained perfect A+ ratings despite facing severe government sanctions and lawsuits for misleading consumers, largely because they paid their dues and answered complaints through the BBB’s internal system. The BBB cannot fine a business, force a payout, or act as a legal collection agency. So, if that isnt enough to see the BBB as the money grab that it truly is then sign up...they're always happy to take your money.
Very thankful for the BBB. Without them, many consumer complaints would never get the attention they deserve. They make a real difference.
Always I receive great advise.
I just want to counter some of the negative comments that have been posted here. The BBB's role in the marketplace is important but sometimes gets misunderstood. My business has been accredited for over a decade. I've had a great experience and have enjoyed many benefits. I've also served on the board and have seen how the organization operates - which is to say they follow their polices and code of ethics without fail. However, it is a challenge when it comes to consumer complaints. At the end of the day the BBB only has the authority to accredit trustworthy businesses...and conversely revoke accreditation (or downgrade ratings) for businesses that don't live up to the BBB's code of ethics and policies. There are many additional benefits for businesses that actively participate in the BBB's networking events, educational workshops, deals, discounts and so on. And yes, thousands of people a month are using the BBB website to find trustworthy local businesses which does generate leads. But, at it's core, the BBB is an accreditation provider that operates under a quasi-franchise model. Much of the strategic direction for the broader, 114-year old organization is driven by a group of mostly US decision-makers. Sound complicated? It is. Our local BBB staff are doing an amazing job.
"I was a member for over ten years, and after retiring and canceling my membership, they placed a bold, red sentence on my page stating my business wasn't accredited. I feel like this is unfair and misleading and essentially ripping off customers
