Here’s another point of view about whether the BBB really is worth the controversy Megyn Kelly wants to cause.

trump bragged about the bogus rating, it’s important to him

[henkster]

I had a BBB membership about 10 years ago. I got the distinct impression they just wanted my money for nothing.

[Undecided 2012]

BBB is bought and paid for by the companies they promote

[smokingfrog]

20 or 30 years ago — maybe. Or for companies that get most of their business from advertising in the yellow pages.

I do not know if the BBB is good for a business but I do know that it is good for one consumer.

I had problems with a new-car dealership. I contacted the BBB. That immediately got action and my satisfaction.

Personally, I think it’s OK to be skeptical of the BBB while acknowledging Trump University was a scam from the start.

[yarddog]

My one and only experience with BBB was basically that they are worthless.

I’m curious.
Other than the trump campaign, is there any valid source of information left?
I’ve seen Hufpo, Politico, and even Salon saluted for being honest in recent days.
Meanwhile...
All conservative publications and radio hosts are now ‘establishment cronies’

Not that the BBB is in anyway a conservative about anything but they do have a rating system that is held out as a standard.

Disagree with the standard if you like, but Trump U. held a D- until 2013. Lawsuits are still pending.

Wasn’t Trump bragging about the rating his “University” got?

[plain talk]

good grief. so whatever hurt Trumps or gets in his way is now bad. OK I got it. LOL

BBV is afraid of its own shadow. There are much better ways to evaluate enterprises now. Just go online and read several user ratings.

The BBB is a bunch of amateurs... the scum at Yelp are the real thugs.

[George from New England]

Yelp is just like this too.

Angie List is no better.

Blackmail and coercion abounds.

Here's another good quote from the article at the link:

it is important to know that the BBB is NOT a government organization, not regulated by any regulatory authority, and carries no authority whatsoever over a business on how they conduct their operations. The Better Business Bureau gives the impression that it is a quasi-government agency, when in fact, it is not. In the business world, this would be considered false advertising according to the BBB’s own standards. Quite the hypocrisy here.

Was in business for 30 years. I never paid one dime to BBB.
