Complaint Review: Better Business Bureau - Tulsa Oklahoma

On September 5, 2007 I filed a complaint to the Tulsa, OK Better Business Bureau regarding my experience with Relocation LLC a partner of National Van Lines. I also reported my experience on this website. I apparently had some of my goods stolen by the movers, as they seemed to have disappeared. I also had furniture damaged by the movers. I had notified the owner of both occurrences. I never heard from the movers so I notified the Better Business Bureau.

I received the following email from the Better Business Bureau

Angela,

I have filed a police report in regards to the stolen box. However, if you cannot process a complaint regarding furniture damaged by the movers that they have not repsonded to, what CAN you file a report on?

Thanks

Since once again Relocation, LLC did not respond to my complaint to resolve anything, I notified the BBB of the non-response.

I have never received any response from Relocation LLC regarding my complaint on

the furniture damage. I filed a police report on the larceny that took place.

Thanks

After this correspondence I never heard anything from the BBB. They never logged the complaint on the profile on the business. So there is a possibility that others have filed complaints on the business, but because they pay to be a member, the BBB doesn't list the complaints.

It appears that if you are a "Bad" business, you can pay to be a member of the BBB and they will protect you.
