I just found a relatively unused NICE Papermate pen (the kind that uses
refills) that's sat in a box since 2007, and was probably fabricated 10
years before that. Wrote first time I put it to paper.

I wonder why they quit making these pads. You used to be able to find them
everywhere - Walmart, 99 cent stores, etc. - but no more. I finally gave up
looking locally and ordered a couple dozen with some other stuff from
Amazon. Better than the spiral 3 x 5 lined notepads. For me, anyhow. Should
be enough to last me the rest of my life.

Angie's List has an A+ rating with the BBB, which has received and closed 501 complaints in the past three years. That number of complaints over that time period for a national company with many thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) clients is miniscule.
 
They maintain an A+ rating because they responded to the complaints in a timely manner and:
 
a. They resolved the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant.
 
or
 
b. Their explanation to the BBB satisfied them that the complaint was without merit.
 
Go read them yourself rather than relying on an over two year old news article with no follow-up, no vetting of the sources or incidents reported, and some disgruntled Angie's List customers tagging it with anecdotal comments to disparage them.
 
Angie's List is not the only resource I use to find the businesses and services I need. But have been more than satisfied when I did. And will no doubt use them again in the future.
 
I certainly wouldn't rely on a web site like consumeraffairs.com which exists only as a place for people to rant. Even if the basic facts true (but don't assume they are) the whole story is never there.
