Despite all of the mounting evidence against Dan Jape and Reliable Air, the Metro Atlanta BBB, under the leadership of BBB President Fred Elsberry, still refuses to do anything to warn the public about the alleged practices of Dan Jape and Reliable. 

 

Yesterday, Mechanic’s Responds® sent the following email to Fred Elsberry, President of the Atlanta BBB:

Dear Fred Elsberry,
 
Mechanic's Responds® is working on an investigative news story in relation as to why your BBB continues to show an "A+" rating for the following member:
 
 
 
We are breaking the news that this current member is now being sued for almost $88,000.00 by AT&T for failure to pay for yellow page advertising.
 
Please see the following:
Dekalb County Superior Court
CASE# 09CV6691
Filing Date: 5/28/09

Bellsouth Advertising VS Reliable Air, Inc.
 
Before we post our breaking news story, we would like to give you the opportunity to be interviewed for this story.  In the alternative, we are requesting a written reason(s) as to why your BBB appears to have such blatant double standards in your grading system?
 
We look forward to your immediate response.
 
Thank You,

As of this posting, Mechanic’s Responds® has NOT heard anything from Fred Elsberry or the Atlanta BBB.  This is of course in keeping with the BBB's policy of ignoring tough questions. 

To add insult to injury, Fred Elsberry and the Atlanta BBB still has Reliable (Dan Jape) listed with an "A+" rating.  This is the highest rating the BBB gives out.  What the BBB does not make clear, is that a Company can only get this "A+" rating if they pay! (in the form of heavy membership fees) 

Try to find this fact on the front of the BBB's web site!

 

Check out Reliable's BBB rating yourself:

Why does Fred Elsberry and the Atlanta BBB continue to give Reliable (Dan Jape) an apparent "free pass" and turn a "blind eye" to their every growing list of problems?  At a minimum, why does Fred Elsberry or the Atlanta BBB not inform the public of Reliable's and Dan Jape's ever increasing problems

Is it because of the membership fees Reliable pays to the Atlanta BBB? 

Does the Atlanta BBB engage in "pay to play"? 

Why is the Atlanta BBB so unfair? 

Why does the Atlanta BBB and Fred Elsberry have one standard for one Company and a different standard for another?

In this reporter's opinion, this "pay to play" the Atlanta BBB engages in has to stop.

Mechanic’s Responds® will continue to ask these tough questions and keep on exposing the unfairness of the Atlanta BBB.
