I have just added a paragraph about procedures used for complaints received. Since much of what the site does is collecting consumer complaints, this info needs to be included in the article.

I also reworded the opening sentence.

In the current text there is a mention of a close relationship with the law firm Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates. This info needs to be sourced. Whomever added it, please provide a source citation ASAP, as required by WP:V, or the statement will have to be removed. The same for the info about the "praise of the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Press Club".

I've removed three external links, per WP:EL. One is a blog, which is an issue with WP:ELNO, the other two may be useful as refs if someone wants to work them into the article, but their inclusion in EL seems to be just for the sake of listing them. Here are the links if someone wants to work them into the article as refs:

This article should not be allowed to have a paid editor

Could someone really please fix this clearly biased article? It's ironic that a paid editor would be allowed to work on this one. See https://www.truthinadvertising.org/consumer-affairs-com/ for example, especially their statistical analysis of ratings for paid vs unpaid companies. And see some other sites on it. It's doing a disservice to Wikipedia's reputation to let puff articles like this to stand, ones with even admitted paid contributors.

  • Before, it was biased for the subject; then it was biased against the subject. I've rewritten the whole article to meet WP:NPOV. The case of Nemet Chevrolet, Ltd v. Consumeraffairs.com has been added. The court decided in favor of Consumeraffairs.com. CerealKillerYum (talk) 14:25, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
