Complaint Instructions
Welcome to the Better Business Bureau's online complaint system. The following pages will ask you a series of questions to help you file a complaint about a company, automobile, or charitable organization. Please read this page and all instructions on each page of this complaint system. Doing so will increase the effectiveness of this complaint and will speed up the processing time.

If you haven't already attempted to resolve your complaint directly with the company, we suggest that you bring your concerns to the attention of the owner or manager. If you are still not satisfied after contacting the company we will be glad to try to assist you.

Please note that the BBB does not take either side in a dispute. Instead, we work to facilitate communication between the company and the consumer, to help both sides come to a satisfactory resolution to the complaint. In many cases, dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration, may be available to help resolve the dispute.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Please review this information carefully before filing your complaint online.
What happens when the complaint is filed?
When you submit your complaint, it will be forwarded to the appropriate Better Business Bureau based on the zip code of the company involved for handling. In some cases, the Bureau may contact you for additional information about your complaint.

The BBB will forward the complaint to the company involved. Because most business firms care about satisfying their customers, complaints generally are resolved and the matter is closed.
What types of complaints does the Better Business Bureau NOT handle?
The Better Business Bureau does not handle complaints about employment practices, discrimination, or the prices charged for goods or services unless they involve misrepresentation. Also, BBBs will not process anonymous complaints. Complainants must provide their names, addresses and phone numbers. Generally, the Better Business Bureau does not handle cases already involved in litigation.
What types of complaints does the BBB handle?
Complaints involving marketplace activities -- misleading advertising, improper selling practices, non-delivery of goods or services, misrepresentation, un-honored guarantees or warranty, unsatisfactory service, credit/billing problems, contracts not fulfilled, etc., are handled by the Better Business Bureau where the company is located.
What if the company ignores my complaint?
Occasionally, a Bureau may be unable to obtain any cooperation from the company. A pattern of unanswered or unresolved complaints becomes a part of the firm's record, and is reported to inquirers who ask about the company.

In extreme cases, the BBB may refer its file on the company to a law enforcement agency to determine if further action is warranted.

Please note that we only take complaints on companies located in Central Florida. If the company you have a complaint with is located anywhere else, please visit the BBB National Complaint Service.
