Some Better Business Bureaus offer additional content & services in BBB Business Reviews.
The additional content & services are typically regional in nature or, in some cases, a new product or service that is being tested prior to a more general release.
Not all enhanced content & services are available at all Better Business Bureaus.
BBB handles the following types of complaints between businesses and their customers so long as they are not, or have not been, litigated:
We do not handle workplace disputes, discrimination claims or claims about the quality of health or legal services.
Your complaint will be forwarded to the business within two business days. The business will be asked to respond within 14 days, and if a response is not received, a second request will be made. You will be notified of the business's response when we receive it (or notified that we received no response). Complaints are usually closed within 30 business days.
BBB promotes truth in advertising by contacting advertisers whose claims conflict with the BBB Code of Advertising. These claims come to our attention from our internal review of advertising, consumer complaints and competitor challenges. BBB asks advertisers to prove their claims, change ads to make offers more clear to consumers, and remove misleading or deceptive statements.
BBB reports on known significant government actions involving business' marketplace conduct.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business.
BBB Business Reviews are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. Information in this BBB Business Review is believed reliable but not guaranteed as to accuracy.

Consumers have advised the Better Business Bureau that this business sends out invoices asking for payment on a bill for a publication that they are claiming the consumers business agreed to over the phone. Some consumers are advising that they never agreed to any such publication over the phone and have asked International Credit Recovery to to stop calling their place of business. The consumer then advises that the business continues to call and advises consumers that they had agreed to these services with their partner company Progressive Business Publications. Again consumers have advised that they never agreed to any such publications through Progressive Business Publications. When consumers ask for proof from the business of this agreement their requests are either ignored or they are played a edited voice recording that in some cases is not recognizable to the consumer. The BBB recommends that in addition to filing with the BBB that consumers also file with the New York Attorney General's Office at: 518-474-7124 or go to www.ag.ny.gov as well as the Federal Trade Commission at: 877-382-4357 or go to www.ftc.gov
