« on: April 07, 2012, 11:14:13 am »
Have you ever reported a business to the BBB (Better Business Bureau)? If so, what business was it and why?

I have not reported anyone to the BBB but I have been tempted. A local gas station that claims they offer certain services, and they use that statement to just get you in the door and then switch tactics to get a person to but more items.

I've never reported a business to the BBB but have been really tempted.  There are some pretty low-life businesses out there that just exist to rip people off.  I used to be meak and scared to say anything to the business owner but now anymore.

I reported the photographer that took my daughter's wedding  pictures. They were terrible. She even blurred the 1st kiss. They tried to work things out, but she would not cooperate. SO needless to say, they were really no help. :angry7:

I've reported a few... one was an on-line pet store that I had ordered some pet costumes from (they were sold out in my pets sizes everywhere else) and they were to be used for a Christmas card photo one year for my clients.  I ordered Oct. 1st, after four weeks I inquired as to the where-abouts of the order.  They responded saying the items had back-ordered, then they sent another e-mail a week later saying the items had shipped.  At the end of Nov, I asked for a tracking number and they said they couldn't give it to  me. Christmas came and went, I had no cards for clients that year and by the time I contacted BBB...I was NOT happy.  They got me a refund in less than 2 weeks even after the business had previously stated they would not issue a refund.  I left a detailed review/complaint on this site all over the internet to warn others.  Anyway, BBB has always been great.

Absolutely!!  I reported 1 company, and threatened another, somebody has to be able to protect these business from treating their customers wrong.  The company I did report was Jackson Hewitt, I had to send back information on my taxes that they prepared 3 different times, didn't get my refund til the following year because of mistakes they made, everything from my wrong address, to not filing the correct papers, I was told that the girl that prepared my taxes didn't understand english very well, so was having a hard time understand the forms,  I got 1/2 of my tax fees back which is what I had originally requested.  If it wasn't for BBB I probably wouldnn't have gotten anything, I turned Jackson Hewitt in because they weren't willing to work to a compromise on the issues.  The other company I threatened to turn in was a company that sells meat at the door, he told me I was paying so much per piece, well I didn't, it was more, I threatened to turn them in and they sent me a refund right away!!

My neighbor had a run-in with jackson hewitt also. She finally got my mom to sort out her taxes (my mom was a financial wiz). and as it turned out, jackson missed thousands and did a really shoddy job, and then wouldnt refund her money. I dont know what ever came of it.
