The Better Business Bureau responded to a slew of what it deemed misinformation Tuesday, clarifying that Trump University only received an A+ rating from the group after complaints dropped as the business drew down operations.
The BBB said in a statement that it did not provide any documents or comment to Fox News moderators for Thursday night’s debate. In the debate Megyn Kelly challenged Donald Trump on his previous claims that Trump University, a program which offered courses on real estate and investing, had an A rating with the BBB. Kelly said records showed Trump University had a D- ranking from the BBB, drastically contradicting Trump’s claim, reports Business Insider.
“We are issuing a further statement today, in response to a number of inaccurate reports that continue to be repeated,” read the press release from the BBB. “Trump University does not currently have an A rating with BBB. The BBB Business Review for this company has continually been ‘No Rating’ since September 2015. Prior to that, it fluctuated between D- and A+.”
...
The BBB explained that the fluctuation between D- and A+ were due to a drop in complaints following 2013, when Trump University stopped being an active organization. While Trump University was “active in the marketplace” and had a lot of customers there were a significant number of complaints leading to a D- ranking, however after 2013 when enrollment dropped significantly, complaints fell and led to an adjusted A+ ranking.

This happens with EVERY company, so again, a big to-do about NOTHING!
This is the best they have against TRUMP????
The fax Donald Trump handed to Brett Baier was not a current rating.
“Trump University does not currently have an A rating with BBB. The BBB Business Review for this company has continually been ‘No Rating’ since September 2015. Prior to that, it fluctuated between D- and A+.”
Explanation of Trump University, BBB papers, the whole story...
Trump did not have the BBB send over those papers, he had his office do it, the BBB was closed that time of night...doesn't anyone have any common sense anymore? Does everybody believe the lies the media puts out about EVERYTHING all the time, do people really believe all the garbage on t.v.; radio and the media? REALLY?????
The entire BBB is a scam
You get a good rating when you send them a check
Don’t send them a check, you are either a low rated business or “no rated” business
Its a bunch of bull
BBB is a scam that reflects nothing about the true state of a business. It’s a hopelessly outdated method of determining how good a business is. The only thing I would fault Trump on is how come he’s still paying for this idiotic service.
You can count on the Dems to will roll out ex-students, eager to tell how Donald Trump scammed them.
Trump is not running for president of a university.
Trump caps night of wins with victory in Hawaii caucuses
HONOLULU -— Donald Trump has won the Hawaii Republican presidential caucuses, claiming the last prize in a night of victories for the Republican front-runner.
Wind, rain and long lines didn’t keep the state’s passionate voters from the polls to decide how the Republican presidential candidates would split the state’s 19 delegate votes.
“Our votes here might be a small vote, but nevertheless, we’re here to do our duty,” said Al Carvalho, 49, who co-owns a contracting business with his wife. “I’m voting for Donald Trump because I’m tired of the career politicians, and I’m willing to give somebody else a chance.”
Trump took to Twitter to note his night-capper:
“This happens with EVERY company, so again, a big to-do about NOTHING!”
Nice excerpt leaving out the part where the ‘university’ was shutting down!
Duh, of course complaints will drop if no one is attending!
Reputable companiies dont get a D- rating.
This is a failed fly-by-night real estate flipping scheme of a company.
Why don’t yall select rhe shamwow guy for VP? It would be a setp up in class.
‘Rump just lied to us about his companies rating.
Why is he saying that he had an A - when clearly the company is DEFUNCT.
March 15th Primaries will the most significant.
I’m still waiting to see how Trump Univ. was rated on Yelp and Angies List, where it really matters.
“The entire BBB is a scam

Yes it is. I used to have a business and I was going to report someone to the BBB - and they said I had to pay them $75 before I could do it. I ended up not making the report, as I had already lost enough money without having to lose $75 more.

True dat. Also, he has 3.5 starts on Amazon, currently, and his eBay feedback is 98% positive, with 3 disputes over alleged damage to shipped goods.
I understand his Uber rider rating is due out March 15th, so let’s keep our fingers crossed!
Pathetic...
Said before the BBB is a bunch of elite crap.
There were only three “students” on the “law suit”
One of them already dropped off the suit this morning.
This whole trumped up story is vacuous from the beginning.
Me*again Kelly pulls the legs off grasshoppers while thinking up questions, I’m pretty sure.
Bingo
Complete scam on the public. Would also note it has nothing to do with accreditation (not that that system is the be all in honesty and integrity, but is a clue at least)
