Comments on: Sites that help you lodge complaints

If you've been wronged or you're just not happy with the way you were treated, there are some sites on the Web that will help you get your voice heard.

Hey Don... what about a site for filing a complaint against one's physician? Got any ideas?

[Gulfhome]

You can try www.peopleclaim.com. You can file against professionals or businesses etc. Surprised it wasn't mentioned in this article- although it is a new site.

Most states in the US have a medical board you can complain to, Google it.

Consumerist and Twitter. Lots of companies have dedicated customer service people monitoring both, and usually those people are better-qualified and empowered to actually fix something than the random overseas call-center drones.

Can I file a complaint against C|Net for trolling Apple fans?

I have medical problems that employers have discriminated against me for. If I file a complaint, they will know who I am by the medical problems I list. But if I don't list them, they won't know why I was discriminated against.

How do we know that this isn't some sort of trap to out people who complain? On the Internet we are not 100% anonymous even if we use a handle or nick name.

I was eventually forced on disability by employers discriminating against me, I became too sick to work from the stress they put me under via the discrimination. So now my career is just about over, and if I complain about it, I'll be marked for life and made fun of and discriminated against for my illnesses.

I would love to see a complaint engine that would connect me with the names and addresses of the Boards of Directors for these companies. The management are just those *employees* closer to the Board than the rest of the employees. So complaining to management is NOT complaining to the ultimate authorities for that company (unless it is not a publicly held corporation). This is true for complaints to nonprofits registered with their state corporation commission as well.

So does anyone know of a "complaint engine" that will get me the working contact information for at least the secretary of a board of director ... since it is the official job of a secretary of the boards of directors to receive and respond to correspondence.

That would be us then! :)

Our service connects consumers to companies to resolve complaints, and primarily at the highest level possible (often they dont even know there are structural customer service issues in their businesses).

You might also be interested in our unique GroupComplaint service.

Don Reisinger should take a closer look at Ripoff Report and what a complete scam it is. Right now, I can submit a very damaging, embarrassing and completely fake report about him on Ripoff Report and Don would find it at the very top of the Google (only Google favors Ripoff Report) search results when people search for his name. He would also find he would have to pay Ripoff Report and founder Ed Magedson to mitigate the report by including favorable comments. Dig deeper Don on Ripoff report and seriously reconsider giving it so much free advertising.

There use to be one that was good. until it was closed down. Not too sure how long this one will last.

[Dan_DTC]

http://www.jobvent.com/ is another good site to voice concerns about employers, or even praise them.

[PublicLobbyist]

These sites should unite into one. Until that happens, it will be a waste of time. We must not allow ourselves to be subjected to anyone's divide and conquer strategy.

The evolution of The Citizen's Voice continues apace. Tea parties, Blogs, Twinnter, The Wall on Facebook; all, though disparate, indicate the growing frustration with a system which purports to consider everybody, but takes care of "nobody."

[russell.g.oneill]

Another good site to look at is consumeraction.gov.

Full disclosure: I work in the organization that produces this website, although I don't personally work on it.
