"The BBB is a joke."
This is 100% true. They are absolutely for-profit, and will not truly pursue complaints made against their "accredited" members as they would companies that are not BBB-accredited. They are not going to bite the hands that feed them.
I am also personally against their abusive recruiting tactics. They called me last spring, and left a voicemail that I must call them back immediately regarding a very important reputation issue. I was appalled when I called back, shaking in fear of a consumer complaint, and the lady pitched me an expensive membership package. She said this offer was only good for one day, it was a prestigious honor to be recruited by them, and it would increase my business. It was at least $400/year, and it was due in full that day, or in 3 payments, with interest. When I explained to her that I didn't have the extra funds for it on that day, I'd like to consider it, she said, "You must not be serious about your business then", and basically told me good luck being successful with no accredidation.
That told me everything I ever needed to know about the BBB. In reality...they don't have any teeth. A complaint will either be laughed off, or the offender will find a way to "erase" it from his record as though it was never made. |
