With social media and micro-blogging sites, it’s now easier to rant about or praise a product or service you’ve just had. Other customers can surf the Web and find blogs such as this one to leave their stories as comments.

However, there are websites out there that let customers post their complaints at no cost.  These websites have, in fact, become tools for consumers who are looking for services or contemplating purchases. These sites, too, become resources for competing business. Not only that, the sites are also viewed by consumer protection agencies, lawyers, even law enforcement agents for information to support a case or investigation.

I got the list from an article on ajc. Here’s the list. Check each one out!

• www.complaints.com – Forwards complaints to businesses with consumer’s approval. Also allows businesses to post responses. Appliance retailers were subject of frequent complaints to this site.
• www.complaintsboard.com – Offers tips for consumers and advice on issues including credit scores and home mortgages. In the CFA analysis, the site received frequent complaints from appliance retailers and insurance companies.
