A note on legal complaints
Filings and BBB complaints reflect what customers and counterparties alleged — not what was proven in court. Where possible we link to the original public record so you can read the source yourself. The presence of complaints doesn't establish wrongdoing; the absence doesn't prove innocence.
If you've personally filed a complaint or know of a public action we've missed, tell us.
