The Better Business Bureau (BBB) system in the U.S. extends across the nation; coast-to-coast, and in
Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Since the founding of the first BBB in 1912, the BBB system has proven
that the majority of marketplace problems can be solved fairly through the use of voluntary self-regulation
and consumer education.
This is a great tool my family is a victim of mortgage fraud, by Wells Fargo and their Attorney’s manufacturing fraudulent documents,
I have a few concerns about an individual if you could help me out and point me where I should be reporting this. These people I know are not together,she lives upstairs in their house with the kids and the husband lives downstairs with his boyfriend. He gets a settlement every month as long as he is alive, taxes have already been taken out of it but don’t they still have to claim that as a source of income when she is applying for anything from social services? They are also going through a bankruptcy, and have cars and credit cards in her mom’s name, also they have it down as the husbands address is at his mom’s house and not where he physically lives. On top of that they have 9 dogs in thier house that are not licensed or utd on shots and various other animals too. Please point me in the right direction as to whom I should be contacting, thank you for your time.
