When it comes to bad service and\/or outright scams a lot of people think that the Better Business Bureau will be the answer to all their problems. Unfortunately such is not the case. While the BBB can be a positive venue for dispute settlement the truth is that they have no authority whatsoever to force a settlement, even if one party is clearly in the wrong.<\/p>\n

Now, you might want to ask why the National Pardon Centre<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0bothers with a\u00c2\u00a0Better Business Bureau<\/a> membership at all. It is a good question that\u00c2\u00a0I have asked myself several times. The truth is that we don’t get many complaints and the ones we do get are dealt with in the office. We are not the kind of organization that screens calls and ignores unhappy clients.\u00c2\u00a0At the National Pardon Centre<\/a> we understand that these applications\u00c2\u00a0can be affecting your life in a serious and important way\u00c2\u00a0and we do not take that lightly. So when someone contacts us upset because a pardon or waiver is not getting done as fast as it should we always take the time to clearly explain the problem, if there is any.<\/p>\n

So why join the Better Business Bureau<\/a>? We joined the Better Business Bureau because there are some companies in this industry who do not treat their clients the same way we do. And inevitably those companies are NOT a part of the BBB program. While we\u00c2\u00a0do not have a great need for dispute resolution (if any at all) it is fairly clear that the companies\u00c2\u00a0that have decided to join the BBB are the ones who need it least of all. And that is a good indicator of the reliability of a pardon or waiver service in my opinion. Feel free to visit the<\/p>\n

So be careful when choosing your service. While the BBB is not the answer to the potential problems\u00c2\u00a0of doing business with a company for the first time it is a reasonably good indicator of the quality of service you are going to receive.\u00c2\u00a0My experience in the pardon and waiver business is that anyone doing reliable business online is a member of the BBB.\u00c2\u00a0The ones that aren’t are probably worth staying clear of.<\/p>\n
