I joined Consumer Affairs and posted my experience and was contacted by a Mattress Firm rep almost immediately. I was able to work with the MF rep and have my refund finally issued.

    My honest and negative review against a business that I wrote a week ago is still not published and it is ignored. While I don't exactly understand why, it seems this site is paid for and funded by the Business and company to allow positive reviews against business and companies. Correct me if I am wrong but I am disappointed!

    Well here is another evidence of the demise of the USA, my review of the corrupt GREEN DOT/WALMART CARD corporation and their thieving employees did not meet the standards of what, political correctness. Yes, I admitted that I was an misinformed and naive consumer. I admit my part in being defrauded. Where is the accountability of GREEN DOT/WALMART CARD and their employees.

    My use of certain words to describe the impression I am left with from the treatment I received from them through the agents representing them ls earnest and should be allowed to be expressed. As long as these corporate entities are shielded from other consumers getting exposed to the true feelings and impressions of consumers victimized by the lackadaisical investing done and the abandoning of their customers, there will never be justice or closure for the defrauded consumer. Proof that the moderation team is only in it for the money. "GO AHEAD AND HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR. GO AHEAD AND CHEAT A FRIEND."

(They lied and pressured me into signing up with them.) Over a year later I received a call from a debt collector about my account with this company! Thankfully I found ConsumerAffairs and after writing a review got the charge reversed.

I just keep going up the ladder until I reach someone that will do something to help. After a company told me it would no longer respond to me no matter whom I contacted, I decided to tell everyone on the internet via 1 star reviews posted on ConsumerAffairs.com. All of a sudden, all the companies that decided to ignore me and my efforts to work with them to clear things up now want to work with me in order to get the 1 star review removed.

    In April of 2015, I wrote a review on a company called InstantCheckmate.com. However, this review is not about InstantCheckmate.com. This review is about THIS WEBSITE, ConsumerAffairs.com. I had not been to the ConsumerAffairs.com website for about a year and 8 months when I needed to write a review about a crooked company called GP Software in November of 2016. A company whose owner still thinks he’s playing kickball on his elementary school playground.

    Don’t get Greg Perry mad or hurt his feelings by calling him out on his juvenile behavior, because if you do, ALL BETS ARE OFF. Anything you ever purchased from him and/or his company NO LONGER BELONGS TO YOU. He will GO INTO YOUR COMPUTER and make your VALID software key INVALID and the program you bought and paid for in full will no longer work. Oh and guess what… You’ll get NO REFUND for the program(s) that he stole back from you either.

    Yep. He keeps your program AND your money and he’s getting away with it because the bugger (no worries mate) runs his underground business DOWN UNDER in the exotic land of Crocodile Dundee! Unfortunately, this most recent review of mine about Greg Perry and his group of Software Bandits will probably never see the light of day on this website though and after you read this information I’ve submitted on ConsumerAffairs.com, you’ll know why I think this way. That is of course, if ConsumerAffairs.com PUBLISHES this review of mine. We’ll know soon enough.

    After writing my review on GP Software (which is still on hold – pending “additional reviews from other people”), I started to look over my past reviews from a couple of years earlier. I noticed that my review of Instant Checkmate is stamped "Insufficient Response from customer" and my review is faded out (darkened) making it difficult to read. Additionally, there are lines through my text as if to say it isn't true or correct or invalid due to my "insufficient response". The problem with this is that it's not true and it is not right. I was on top of my responses and replies from start to finish with the entire case regarding ICM.com. In fact, my responses were so tight, they were all written and posted within 5 MINUTES of the request for a response EACH TIME!

    InstantCheckMate.com told me they were going to issue me a refund for my bad experience. I told them that I did not write the review based on my bad experience, I wrote it because I felt they were deceptive in their marketing and sales techniques and that when that changed, I would consider changing my review and my low rating. ICM.com still insisted on giving me a refund and they did just that. Then I started receiving email messages from ConsumerAffairs.com asking me if I would consider changing my review and poor rating of ICM.com. I responded each and every time telling them that just because I got a refund (which I deserved by the way), did not mean that my opinion of the company had changed because they were still using deceptive marketing and sales techniques.

    Eventually I stopped receiving messages from ConsumerAffairs.com and now I know why. Because instead of continuing to ask me if I would change my review and low rating, they just RED STAMPED my review and called it INVALID due to "Insufficient Response from customer". There should be NO SUCH STAMP on this report and the fact that there is leads me to believe that this website is simply a shill for corporate ** who likely pay to have bad reviews removed (or blacked out or red stamped) and good reviews to remain posted. This was done in a subversive way as well. Only several months AFTER I assumed the case was closed and I had submitted ALL requests for a response WITH A RESPONSE, did they darken out my review and put that "Insufficient Response from Customer" red stamp on my review.

    Because they waited, likely with the assumption that I would not be visiting this site again for a while since my case was CLOSED and it was taken as far as it could go, they were able to redline my review and darken it out making it look INVALID due to a lazy and/or incompetent reviewer (ME). Moreover, I was sent NO NOTICE of this insufficient response or I would have come back and responded again! Thus, since I'm no longer here to see my review get squashed and I've received no notice of there being a BIG RED STAMP on my review, it gave ICM.com (InstantCheckMate.com) A YEAR AND 8 MONTHS of glorious reviews with all the bad reviews darkened out. I know this because I read most of them and every BAD review was DARKENED OUT while every GOOD review was LEFT IN.

    So now somebody tell me this doesn't look just a little bit fishy. Is this website, ConsumerAffairs.com taking bribes, financial or otherwise, to act as a shill for big businesses with deep pockets? If they're not doing this, why does it seem (at least in my situation with ICM.com) that only the reviews that favor the company are bright and shiny while all the unfavorable reviews are darkened out and/or stamped as being derelict and irresponsible in their response time and/or quality. Perhaps it had never occurred to ConsumerAffairs.com that when people have a bad experience, the first thing they want to do is get past it. It's not exciting and fun to write a bad review and give a company a poor rating after that company did you wrong. So the last thing on your mind in a situation like that is to get through it and get it OVER WITH.

    It seems that ConsumerAffairs.com is likely using the psychology of a "bad experience" and the predictability of "human nature" to create a website that appears so ominous and credible that people would only need to check out this website to determine if they want to do business with a particular company. Then turn right back around and solicit big $$$ from deep pocket businesses letting them know that if they want a guaranteed GOOD REVIEW and HIGH RATING, just give them X amount of $$ and watch all the good reviews roll in.

    Have you guessed what the rating is now for InstantCheckMate.com? It's FOUR out of FIVE STARS. I gave them 2 stars and many others gave them worse than that. But our low rating reviews DID NOT COUNT IN THE ICM.com OVERALL RATING. Now if you took a little trip over here to the ConsumerAffairs.com website because you weren't sure about a company you were considering doing business with and you saw 4 out of 5 stars, wouldn't you say, "Eh, my due diligence ends here. Let's go shopping"? I'll bet you would. I would too. Too bad though for both of us, that our deciding factor (ConsumerAffairs.com) would be based on FALSE, MISLEADING and INACCURATE information. I certify this information to be true and is the exact experience I am had and that I am currently having with ConsumerAffairs.com.

    I appreciate your service. I did not want to close the case out but I fear you guys can not reverse it. Just in case this is a great service. I am very sad that Sprint would think so little of me, and just ignore me. They acted just like they train their employees. In the end I only wanted half of the cost I wasted for the year, 300$. But I am forced to get my own lawyer and sue or I was invited into a large lawsuit so I guess even though they are such koshuls and ignored me I get that they just don't want to deal with me as a human. They misunderstood me but made no effort to understand further. It seems they were confident I couldn't sue and you could hear it in their voice. I'm adhd/anxiety cursed and though I am bright I'm also impulsive and a unsavory character to bottom line people. But adhd/anxiety does not mean we lie!

    So now I have my ducks in a row. If you are able to leave it open great, if not at least put unsolved because they can't get away. They remind me of deadbeat dad syndrome. I remember my mom & me at 6 years old at a prince William county courthouse with my eastern European biological father and the relief he showed when the judge said I can tell she's his but va law says if the father denies the child we can't touch him and the judge eagle eyed him as he said it and he was out of the courtroom in a flash, never looked back. I didn't care but I remember what a bottom feeder looks like and SPRINT is a bottom feeder. In case you can't reverse the resolved key which I didn't hit because I wanted people to know I was not taken care of and they should not trust them. Thank you for your forum for people like us.

    I am so glad I read Consumer Affairs reviews prior to purchasing new appliances. We were advised by a local appliance store to go online and read reviews before deciding what brand to go with. I am just wondering why Consumer Affairs gave the LG refrigerators reviews 3 stars, when all the reviews you showed had given them just one star and some would have given none, if that were an option. You lose a lot of credibility when you do this. We were about to buy a five-piece LG suite for our remodeled kitchen, but after pursuing these reviews, we are going to stay way clear of LG... Their prices are not even that much lower than manufacturers with better customer service, better/quicker technical service, and product quality. The customer protection branch of the federal government should be investigating this company! I am so glad I read your reviews prior to purchasing LG.

    Original Review: Dec. 11, 2016

    Visited your website to investigate complaints against a home warranty company. Was EXTREMELY disappointed in the content and display of your postings. Evidently, there is no oversight or repercussions on respondents using evasive language to respond to - what appear to be - valid complaints. That is, in reviewing numerous complaints from this company all the text from the complaint was both shaded and lined-through making the complaint very difficult (but not impossible) to read. In addition on every single response from the company receiving the complaint - the response was EXACTLY the same (except for the name of the complainer being addressed). HOWEVER, ALL of the congratulatory comments were displayed in clear text. HOW VALID IS THIS??? I am certainly not confidently in the validity of your process of "protecting consumers' interests.

    Russ, when a review has been resolved or could not be verified, it is struck through, but as you pointed out, it can still be read. We choose not to remove them, therefore offering a well-rounded view of the consumer experience.

    We do this in order to showcase the most relevant content in a way that can be distinguished from reviews that have already been resolved. Regarding the language, no brand discusses the personal details of a transaction in order to protect the consumer's privacy. Many responses are standardized across a variety of industries to simplify & expedite the process. The consumer & brand continue the discussion offline to reach a resolution.

    I just received and read in ConsumerAffairs newsletter piece on how consumers using coupons of branded drug manufacturers pay more than they would pay for generics, the point of the article that consumers are being misled. The author remarks that brand drug manufacturers price branded drugs as high as possible and take advantage of consumers in that regard, and with the coupons. The piece you posted is inaccurate, misleading, and potentially dangerous. First, I am a consumer, have no relationship of any kind to any drug manufacturer, don't own their stock (unless in a mutual fund) and am not here to defend them.

    But your reporter says generics drugs are equivalent to branded drugs, because they have the same basic ingredients. That is, in a number of cases, a false statement. In 2012, after 5 years of dragging its feet, the FDA ordered two or three generic versions of ** off the market, after consumer reported being switched from the brand to generic by their insurers, and going into deep depression that had been under control before the switch. The FDA finally acknowledged that how the contents of ** is delivered - the release mechanism, which can involve "the fillers" - is key to whether the drug works, and testing of generics showed those 2 or 3 did not release in the bloodstream the fully or effectively. The FDA ordered the manufacturers to cease selling them.

    You can through a quick Google search find the same result re **, one of the most widely prescribed antidepressants on the market. There are innumerable reports of consumers being forced to switch to generics and going back into deep depression. (I do not know if the FDA has looked at this - have no researched.)

    In the past, I took both ** & experienced this. I also still take thyroid medication. And every endocrinologist I've seen says do not take generic ** (the most widely-prescribed thyroid med) - it is often made overseas, in plants with limited quality control, and sometimes the tablets do not even contain the minimum required active ingredient. They have uniformly prescribed the branded form.

    Several months ago I switched to the just-released generic form of ** (a statin for cholesterol). Three weeks later I had what was likely - though not yet proven -a very adverse reaction to the generic. My doctor informed me he has since had two other patients he has had to require brand for, because, they, too, had adverse reactions to this new generic, when switched from the brand. Your reporter has it in for brand name drug companies. She, however, has clearly not researched the subject and in effect is misinforming (as did the FDA until the ** situation came back and undermined that effort) the public.

    As it happens, I recall a report that the US manufacturers develop about 75% of all new medications. It costs a fortune - and one reason some branded drugs don't have the side effects and do work as intended because they have spent hundreds of millions developing them. Your reporter appears to have overlooked, that too. No doubt many generics are fine replacements for brand. But it is a disservice to represent that as being universal. And there are plenty of "victims" out there who have been forced to switch and pay the price.

    I know from personal experience that insurers are not always "innocent" in pricing drugs - and no doubt branded manufacturers - along with generic manufacturers - gouge. It is common knowledge in the pharmaceutical industry that some insurers pharmacy benefit managers make more selling generic meds than branded meds. I hope ConsumerAffairs will update in some fashion its article, to provide a complete, unbiased view of the subject.

Also on July 19 I noticed my credit card account having been charged $25 by EZRAC (without any advance notification to me). I called EZRAC in Seattle and they said they would get back to me by email on these charges. They never sent me anything. So I complained via ConsumerAffairs. After considerable back and forth, EZRAC settled by agreeing to refunding me $180.71 and they sent a copy of traffic violation for which the $25 had been deducted and I saw that it was within the time I had rented the car.

    Jason, ConsumerAffairs is an unbiased consumer protection website. We actually have a number of unauthorized brands with better ratings than the brands that have partnered with us.
    As you can see on American Home Shield, if a consumer leaves a negative review about a brand, the brand responds publicly & the original review remains published & visible. Brands reach out to the consumer offline to resolve the issue.
    Unfortunately, there are times when the brand reaches out but receives no response. That is through no fault of the brand or ConsumerAffairs. If the consumer does not respond, the issue can neither be verified nor resolved.
    This process ensures every review is legitimate & people can't simply bash a brand anonymously like many review sites allow.
    Your review on AMS is awaiting moderation approval & you should be hearing from the brand soon.

    JC, we're sorry you feel that way. When a review is written it must be reviewed by the moderation team to ensure it is an actual, original review. This process slows down the publication of reviews but ensures we offer our readers the best resources possible. If a review is written about a brand not yet on our site, it cannot be published yet.

    You should enclose a link to recently published review in review confirmation e-mail for convenience of your users. As a user, once I published a review - I want to see it on your website. Instead, you send a big button to write another review, which is useless. There should be a "follow-up" link which gives your users a feel of completeness for their action.

    Thanks Beverly,
    There are a couple ways you can update your review. If the company has solved your problem and you'd like to share that with others, you can post a resolution. Posting a resolution will allow you to explain how the problem was solved and update your star rating if appropriate. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have a way for reviewers to edit their reviews after they are submitted. If you would like to add to your review without marking it as resolved, you can submit a second review for the same company. Please be sure to include in the subject line that it is an update to your previous review. Our moderation team will be able to include the new information in your original review. The second review will show as "on hold" indefinitely in your user profile because its contents will be included in your original submission.

    Let me know if you need help or have any other questions!

    Updated review: July 20, 2016

    I'm afraid my notification was read as a call to action, and not just a heads up.

    Although initially there was confusion, as to whether I had filed a report on Walmart with Consumer Affairs or Consumer Reports, once Heidi knew it was, in fact, it was with Consumer Affairs, she took the initiative to protect me as a consumer, whom she thought, was in fear of further retaliation from Walmart.

    Heidi did what she believed I wanted, and what she thought was the best solution, by removing my report. She just as quickly reinstated it, as I requested.

    I believe she cares and behaved fairly in what she perceived as a frightening situation.

    Our communication had a bit of the old "Who's on second?" flavor to it and I want Heidi to know I'm grateful for her concern, restoring my report, and for the lively cocktail chatter. Please consider my complaint RESOLVED. :)

    Original Review: July 14, 2016

    I have received threatening comments on my YouTube blog from a person who had read my ConsumerAffairs complaint, and is stalking me. He claims to be employed at the Wal-Mart head office, the company I had complained about. I sent emails off to Wal-Mart and to ConsumerAffairs, quoted one of his comments, and apprising them of the situation. I received a prompt reply from Heidi, who pleasantly advised me that I had contacted the wrong consumer watchdog organisation, and I was actually looking for Consumer Reports, who she said she would be forwarding my email to. To my recollection, I have never had a product issue, worthy of bothering Ralph Nader's Consumer Reports with. I begged pardon, and sent her a screen shot of my 6 reports for Wal-Mart I had in my ConsumerAffairs account, so she could see the ConsumerAffairs header, and that they were in fact, reported to ConsumerAffairs.

    She seemed a bit embarrassed, but rallied, saying, she had found a couple reviews for Wal-Mart Pet Department that I had submitted, but both are tagged as "no publish" which meant they should not be visible on the website. She said I'd still be able to see my reviews I submitted from within my account profile, and she hoped not having them visible to the world on the website helped make my situation a little better. She suggested again, I still follow-up with Consumer Reports, as the "gentleman" (her word) who had been bothering me had referenced in his attacks to the reviews being in Consumer Reports. *sigh*

    I went back into ConsumerAffairs archive, found my only Wal-Mart Pet Dept report deemed publishable, and sent a screen shot back to Heidi. She hasn't replied. I hope the irony of all this isn't lost on who ever is reading this. The Wal-Mart employee stalked me from ConsumerAffairs, NOT Consumer Report, as he mistakenly claimed. I'm not sure what happened here with Heidi, but I'd appreciate a follow-up from whoever's in charge around there. I don't predict a they'll be a dispute, but just in case someone needs it. I attest that this is true, and will surrender all email and documentation, supporting this claim, upon demand. Thanks.

When I came across this site I realized I was not alone. I went through a list of complaints before I decided to write something myself. I didn't expect to get a response from The Neat Company since I had already tried to send several emails directly to the Company without any luck and believe me I was quite shocked when I got that email from Neat support center asking me what would be the best time to set up a support call.

    I have written a couple of reviews here on ConsumerAffairs and they were not all good. I will write about the NOT good ones. Seems like when I write a bad review within a while someone from that company will give me a call (Coincidence or not?). I will actually tell the company (store) that I have contacted ConsumerAffairs and any other place that I have written to about them. I believe people need to start speaking up and banning together to stop these places from scamming, stealing, overcharging, bad customer service, etc. If enough people start to write bad reviews and doing something maybe things will get better. They will not get better if YOU let them get away with these practices that are wrong.

    Start writing your review either good or BAD on ConsumerAffairs and let others be warned so they don't get ripped off and just maybe YOU will get a call and your complaint will be resolved.

    The system erroneously notated my online review as "resolution in process", which was completely untrue. Mohawk Flooring contacted me only to ask for information already included in my review - they have made no attempt to resolve the situation at all. Their response to me after my review was clearly so that they could say they had fulfilled their obligation in contacting me. I am very disappointed that Consumer Affairs would allow Mohawk Flooring to use their website in this way because the system automatically puts a review in the "resolution process" when a business responds. This is totally inaccurate!

    There is no means by which I can post any further comments to my review, because your system "forces" me to say the problem is resolved when it is not. This gives other consumers reading the reviews a false impression.

    In because I had been cheated many times by sent me fake products from sellers through auctions in the US largest website more than 10 years ago, so I wanted to find some online shops which handled by real store. Through Google search, I got names included saksoff5th.com and saks.com. I had placed orders in saksoff5th.com firstly, and got problems (I'll write a review about them later). So I changed to place orders in saks.com by having a thought that they would provide better services cause they are the mother company of saksoff5th.com. Sadly, I got problems again from the very beginning after I'd placed orders (I'd mentioned already in one of my reviews here in consumeraffairs.com).

    As a consumer from outside US, we really needed help while got shopping troubles and also being ignored by their service center. We don't want to be treated like what experienced decades ago, and thinking that it should have ways that can help me and/or give them some pressure to behave better. They are all located in America, a country ruled by law, right!? So I used Google search once again with the tag 'consumer' and 'Saks 5th Avenue'. Finally I found the way here...consumeraffairs.com! After I wrote the review here about my shopping experience in Saks 5th Avenue, I got a reaction of order canceled from the service center of saks.com hours later (more than 24 hours after my first e-mail sent to them which they said I'll get personal reply within 24 hours).

    And, after my review got lived by consumeraffairs.com, I got 3 replies at the same time, differently from order & service dept. of saks.com. Of course, only official speeches I had got from them. The most strange thing is, I got an e-mail from Saks_Feedback@incontact.com one more day later, which was asking me to make a feedback for him... The one who signed underneath is just the one took the first action...'helping' me to cancel the order. With this result, I'm so sure that this website, the consumeraffairs.com, really can help me in this affair. Thanks so much!

    Checks and balances within any operation is key to success for both the consumer and the product provider. While Landmark Home Warranty is a top notch provider, in mid-October 2015 my Maytag washing machine broke down. Nothing major, but it was a switch that was no longer in production. Though Landmark processed many service calls but no remedy developed. However, considering that this Maytag model is obsolete, no fault could or should be placed on anyone, except I need to remember how old I am getting, and things that look new to me are probably still kinda old! (I retired from the Marines in 1992).

    In February 2016, I became curious about Landmark's standing in the homeowners community and found Consumer Affairs review system upon which Landmark is a member. After writing a review about this situation, I was contacted by Kristen ** of Landmark's Public Affairs through Consumer Affairs. Ms. ** looked into the situation and a decision was made to bring about resolution. No doubt the joint efforts of Consumer Affairs and Landmark Home Warranty made this a Win-Win for everyone, especially me! I have no clue how to work on a washing machine and getting on my knees at my age is not a task I want to endeavor in.

    I reported a problem with Sprint. My daughter and I were both making monthly payments to Sprint on the same two phone lines. (She says she told me she was taking over her own phone bill back in June, but I don't recall her telling me that fact.) When we realized in December that we were both paying monthly on the same bill since June, I notified Sprint and was told there was no record of both of our payments going to the same phone lines. (Even though both of our bank statements reflect the deductions to Sprint.) My daughter called Sprint at least four times in January trying to correct the problem as I was still getting a paper bill from Sprint even though the phone was supposed to be her responsibility exclusively. She was told the situation was resolved.

    Then, approx. a week ago her phones were cut off with no warning and Sprint said it was due to non-payment. My daughter was upset and decided she would cancel Sprint service. I was disgusted about the whole situation with Sprint and contacted ConsumerAffairs. The very next day I was contacted by a Sprint Executive Analyst who said she would look into the problem. She contacted my daughter and they resolved the issue. I'm a little skeptical about Sprint "resolving the issue" since we were told that it was resolved in January but I'm willing to wait and see. Meanwhile, I believe if I had not contacted ConsumerAffairs nothing would have been resolved with Sprint. Thank you ConsumerAffairs.

    Now this is a slight twist - a not so good review of this company/organization, Consumer Affairs, and how they handled or mishandled an objective review I made about a month ago of Credit One Bank (we'll see if it's posted with other Credit One reviews???). I sent in a fairly positive review of COB after reading so many negative ones to basically give another objective view of COB...

    It detailed my experiences with this bank and credit card (full disclosure of the $75 set-up fee, standard online payments always made on time and posted to my account typically within 3-4 days, free monthly credit reports showing higher scores, an unexpected credit line increase just before Christmas based on an excellent payment history without having to pay that fee they're also known for, up-to-date account info online so I always knew my remaining available credit and transaction history, and on... and on...) and generally stated I was a satisfied customer so I thought Consumer Affairs should also post my very objective review.

    I also stated that I have other credit cards - AMEX, CapitalOne, CarCare One, ExxonMobil, JCPenney, Sam's Club, Walmart and a few other bank cards - and often receive similar service from Credit One Bank as with all cards my wife and I have, and don't view the "always bashing COB" reviews as fair given my experiences. I expected the review to be fully analyzed/evaluated/scrutinized prior to publishing on Consumer Affairs' website, but not to take over a month, so I followed up with them over a week ago with an email after noticing my review was still "ON HOLD", asking why, but have yet to get an answer. Does this continued "ON HOLD" status suggest Consumer Affairs is only interested in listing negative reviews???

    Seems so... and if not, hopefully my initial review (and also this one of Consumer Affairs and how they didn't even give me the common professional courtesy to respond when I asked why my review is still "ON HOLD") will be included with all of the other negative ones to give anyone seeking an above average credit card from a good bank, a better alternative to many of the other credit card offers/service that aren't as good (though I believe Credit One Bank can improve their Customer Service by having some of their agents stateside who can communicate better, and speak and understand English better, than the ones currently off-shore - basically my only genuine complaint!).

    After a terrible experience with EZ Rental Car in Orlando where among other things I was charged for a full tank of gas when I returned the car with a full tank, I reported the experience to Consumer Affairs. I received a swift response from the rental company and was reimbursed for the charges. Thanks so much!!!

    I tried to order service online and the website does not work. I sent an email via the site and it moved at a snail's pace. I call the toll free number twice and both times the rep hung up on me.

    I was previously unaware of ConsumerAffairs.com. After a bad experience with an electronics company while ordering Christmas presents online, I wanted to make others aware of this company's business practices. I found Consumer Affairs online and submitted a complaint, just hoping to serve as a warning to other shoppers. Consumer Affairs was prompt to acknowledge my complaint. Within 24 hours, to my surprise, I was contacted by the electronics company, offering to do whatever necessary to resolve my complaint. The issue was resolved satisfactorily within 24 hours and I couldn't be more relieved... Or happier with ConsumerAffairs.com. I would definitely recommend that friends use Consumer Affairs should they have an unfortunate experience with a company. I recommend them highly!

    I signed up for ConsumerAffairs last month - November 2015 and I like the All-Star review emails offering me an opportunity to rate and review businesses that I have or had accounts. I like that the All-Star review allows me to share my experience about a company and also to share the knowledge with other consumers. The ConsumerAffairs All-Star review email letters themselves are so preciously written with a lot of care and warmth. I totally appreciate it. Thank you so much.

My previous attempts to get corporate level assistance were unsuccessful until I filed a complaint with ConsumerAffairs. I was contacted by a corporate representative in just a few days and was able to come to an agreement, albeit not ideal, and was able to finally receive some sort of resolution that had not been offered prior to ConsumerAffairs involvement.
