Comment on Connecticut Attorney General Demands that the BBB stop using ‘Harmful & Misleading’ Grading System by Kevin Koch

Kevin Koch — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:09:50 +0000

Who does the BBB think they are? No, really? Who do they think they are?
They are not a government sanctioned organization but they sure act with a sense of entitlement. Yes, they are non-profit, so what? I would be happy to run a non-profit business if I could take home 400K a year as just one CEO of 116 different BBB’s.
Bottom line, they are a business and they make money.

I would like to know one thing?
Who does the BBB think the are to post my business name and address on their websites. Who are they to rate my business in a poor light? No one has ever complained about my company. I have been in business for 30 years with no complaints.

Let me ask you this? If I were to post my competition’s name and addresses on a website and rated them anything other then an A+ I am sure I would get sued. Why does the BBB not even give my business a rating? You guessed it, I am not a member.

The BBB’s A+ to F “rating” sytem is a bias rating system because most non-member companies are not even rated on their websites but all BBB members are rated with an A+ or an A. Is this a joke? Top that with their so-called accreditation process. They state on their website that some companies don’t qualify to be members! That statement puts a question in every comsumers mind about all non members such as my company? (Crafty buggers aren’t they?)
What a bunch of BS.
In my opinion, BBB “Accreditation” is just a carefully crafted scheme that makes members look good and non members look like smucks that don’t qualify to be members. On the BBB website they explain in detail how some companies cannot achieve BBB accreditation. Make no mistake, they are in the business of selling memberships. I would guess that everyone qualifies. I take offense to their accreditation system and consider it as a slander to all non-members. It looks more to me that the BBB today stands more for “Bullshit, Baffles, Brains” then Better Business Bureau.
The BBB organization operates like a “Sanitized Crime Syndicate” that is pretending to be a consumer advocate. If your business wants a good rating, all you have to do is just pay up. (Suckers)

My company is not rated and I am proud to stand alone.
I don’t deal with crooks or gangsters.
Please join us in doing the same.

Comment on Is the BBB’s rating system flawed? by Sally

Sally — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 16:15:00 +0000

I completely agree that BBB is seriously flawed. For example we know of a roofing company that gets a A+ rating and yet they have 3 current lawsuits against them, the state is in the process of removing their business license, and they owe a half a million to just one of their suppliers. We also know that customers have complained against them, but BECAUSE THEY ARE MEMBERS of the mob, excuse me, BBB- they get away with it. Whereas, another roofing company gets an F rating because BBB lost their company information and was unable to reach them so they have 1 complaint on their record. Yes, 1 complaint gets an F. Pay to play… but paying them off gets us to keep business. Crazy.
