On the front page of HOBB is an article on how the BBB in Houston helped a homeowner get his house fixed.
I am here to tell you the BBB did not help me and in fact empowered my builder to continue his shoddy practices.
My experience at the BBB was documented and sent to National Consumer Groups. It was nothing less then dispicable. It was shameless and toothless.
I had to sit through lies, lies and more lies from my builder. The so called mediator was on a total power trip. It was a show to be had.
With other places to mediate in Houston why go to a place where people pay dues to promote their business?
Good for those that it worked for but NO ONE should feel a need to compromise on what they were promised in their contract. My builder has almost all complaints closed out by the head of the bureau. That means they are protected. My builder also had the subdivison with the #1 foreclosure rate in Houston, with another in close second.
What does that mean???
Please feel free to comment on these 2 articles dealing with the BBB.
By the way I know at least one of these victims. How come they do not get on hobb, on the forum? What gives with these people?
