It is a place where any worker, contractor, or business can complain about a bad customer or anybody else in the building industry, or anyone who has anything to do with the business of building. See the list for ideas.
It is also a place where you can come to check to see if anyone you may be dealing with, may be preparing to deal with, has a complaint filed against him or her.
Registration is $10.00 per complaint, but the registration allows you to come back to check anybody. The registration lasts ninety days. If you want a year’s registration, the fee is $35.00 and it includes four separate complaints during that year.
It can be if you check the box. If you want your name posted, leave the box unchecked, and the name posts. It will not include any other information.
This site is informational only. As long as the information is true, there is probably no legal recourse against you, but the information is mainly your opinion, and as long as the post includes no threats or does not expose your subject to danger, it should be okay.
Absolutely not. It can be used as a notification of your displeasure with the entity about which you complain, but this site does no more than to air your grievance and to warn others about a potential problem with the subject.
Yes. Your password allows you access to the post. If you want to remove it or alter it in any way you can, but our advice is to return and post addenda to your post when and if the situation changes.
Only if you include the e-mail address of the subject and check the box for notification. The address you include will not be revealed to anyone but the addressee. This site does not reveal or sell any addresses to anyone. The privacy of all parties is respected.
Our goal is to guarantee to keep posts up for three years.
Yes, in fact, we encourage replies in the interests of fairness and in the interests of personal resolution without taking things to court.
Probably not. It may help. If your side has been carefully considered, and you write it up completely, you will have a better idea how to approach things in a well defined format, thereby strengthening your argument.
It doesn’t hurt that your subject is out there in the light of day where he/she can be checked out.
Many times the money to fight a case is short, and there’s no place to turn for airing the grievance. Courts are uninformed about the business and they lean toward the consumer. License boards know the business, but they are geared toward consumer protection. The legal and registering process are stacked against you. This site is where you can get it all out, taking as long as you need to think your views through to your satisfaction.
This site generates a lot of traffic, so other people in your position can take what happened in your case to account, and they can adjust accordingly. They can also choose not to accept work from the subject.
In essence, you are warning others, getting your view out, and making the playing field more level.
Sunlight is the best antiseptic.
It’s just for fun. It’s totally anonymous, and it may or may not have happened. Criminal acts will be deleted forthwith. We want nothing to do with any legal authority, but if illegal acts where physical harm transpired we are bound by law to report them to authorities.
It will be reported as from an anonymous source. If you flag it as criminal, we will assume you want it reported and act accordingly.
Our program will eliminate profanity, so keep it as clean as you can. We know you are probably mad, but your best chance for getting resolution is to maintain your integrity and to refrain from threats or profanity.
It’s tough enough out there without actively making yourself look like a jerk.
Remember, the spoken word is different from the written word. When it’s written down, it’s out there for everyone to see for a long time. The best idea is to write it like your kid is going to see it some day. Be factual. Be firm. Be businesslike.
Anybody who logs on and registers to check out potential clients, plus your subject, if you want that entity notified.
The goal is to get the business of construction cleaner by telling the personal stories of the people in the business.
