Looks like the entire BBB system of operation has started to come apart at the seams. It has been reported this week that "Jimmy Rivers" of www.BBBRoundup.com has linked the BBB's New Grading System to the BBB’s attempts to bring in more money.
To make matters worse for the BBB, the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is going to contact the California Attorney General for help in investigating Rivers' (www.BBBRoundup.com) claims about the BBB’s rating system.
In another sign of stress at the BBB, the Atlanta BBB, under the leadership of Fred Elsberry, has refused repeated requests by Mechanic's Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC (Mechanic's) and Mechanic’s Responds® to answer Mechanic's repeated requests concerning a variety of unfair and biased actions by the Atlanta BBB against Mechanic's.
In an emailed letter sent today to Fred Elsberry, President of the Atlanta BBB, Mechanic’s Responds® ask Mr. Fred Elsberry the following:

Mechanic’s Responds® has not had any response from the Atlanta BBB. Apparently, the BBB, as a whole, has decided to "ignore" everything and everyone and hope "whistleblowers" like Mechanic’s Responds® will be ignored by the "mainstream" press.
