Michael Hathman Formally Issues A Formal Warning Against the Better Business Bureau (BBB) For Corruption & Bad Business Ethics
The BBB Is Engaged In Extortionist & Retribution Activities Regarding Its Grading System
This organization has long been thought of as a “consumer protection agency.” It seems that the BBB, who is engaged in giving out grades to local businesses, is getting a failing grade of its own in the local business community.
Why? The BBB seems to be engaged in the extorting money from local business owners who pay to have the BBB “rubber stamp” their organizations. Additionally, by becoming an accredited member of the BBB, businesses can readily raise their letter grades in exchange for BBB Accreditation.
ABC’s 20/20 Program ran a special on BBB corruption just recently regarding the BBB letter grading system and the use of that letter grading system as a method of retribution against companies who make complaints against the BBB to governmental authorities. This was the case of Smart Solutions and Eagle Audit Services. The company paid the BBB – not once, but twice – for BBB accreditation and neither received the accreditation or a refund. So, Michael Hathman filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office complaining that he wanted either a refund or accreditation. To date, the BBB has not given Smart Solutions a refund or accreditation. Michael Hathman maintains that the BBB ripped off his company.
Smart Solutions had created a consumer protection company to help consumers fight foreclosure and mortgage fraud called Eagle Audit Services. As retribution for the complaints filed against the BBB with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, the BBB gave Eagle Audit Services, which had no complaints an “F” rating and placed all of the parent company’s complaints under Eagle Audit Services. Michael Hathman maintains that the BBB Grading system is a scam and a sham meant to extort the hard earned money of business owners all across the United States
Apparently, the BBB has been in trouble with the Delaware Attorney General’s Office over the grading and retribution fiasco once before and the BBB actually went on the air to “apologize” to the general public concerning its grading system.
Michael Hathman is currently organizing a nationwide business boycott of the Better Business Bureau. Mr. Hathman says that it his version of the OCCUPY protest for businesses who are standing up against corrupt organizations who are bent on making honest people miserable.
It is a very sad tragedy that businesses now have to pay good money to protect its reputation against such a sham grading system and to an organization that acts in sheer retribution if they simply don’t like the business owner.
Here are the video links to those stories that very clearly indicates the BBB’s BAD BUSINESS BASICS:
