Consumers' CheckbookReviews of checkbook.org

I use the website often (now that I'm a homeowner - it has been very so valuable). First - a description of ConsumerCheckbook: They ask subscribers for their honest impressions/ratings for any services (roofing, plumbing, doctors, dentists, car dealer, auto repair, electricians .. a LOT of services). No advertisements. (verified user review - similar to TrustPilot, but focusing on the geographic region (eg SF Bay Area) and lists all the providers of XYZ service with price/quality and other metrics in an easy to use table that I can sort in different ways. (plus the areas that each provider services - since the Bay Area is rather large.) In addition, they provide comprehensive articles about (example) what is involved with roof repair /replacement. They describe the basic terms/construction of different types of roof, what to look for when evaluating a quote, what to be sure the service person is providing, etc.. So far the reviews I've read (from people like me) are very helpful. I compare the info I find on ConsumerCheckbook with reviews on GoogleMaps. I am surprised to read the two negative reviews, and sorry about the problem one person had with the digital subscription. I understand they are very understaffed, funding from the subscriptions is minimal, so the print edition was probably a burden. The magazine is going all digital later this year, so I guess I'll find out what that's like. However, while I liked the print version, I found that didn't really use it. I most often log into the website to look for articles and reviews about very specific services. In the last 12 months I've used their Dentist survey and plumber survey; also have used carpet cleaning, roof repair, and I forget what else. Date of experience "many for many years".. so.. just randomly selecting most recent - which was today! For appliance repair.

Welp... no particular site In mind here because I find it's not really a Webb site that'll issue these types of issues but it has to do with gateway intercepting. I have no proof to really speck of but do have these Unexplainable occurrences from time to time along with the Repercussions. Yes you know the ones like you get when you try to rectify and the next screen says "WHOOPS WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT ITS ON OUR END" bla bla bla. I I can say is BUT Wait!, Theirs more! More things like.. redirected pages and then tainted Webb sites and downloads. So how do I really know? I don't! But ,I think it a damn good guess keeping in mind about why is their WIFI and dobwe really know it's security is working in Thin air?

I’ve been a subscriber to checkbook.org for many, many years. I decided to change to a digital subscription thinking I’d get a digital copy of the print edition. Not so. All I got was individual articles, but not a digital version of the print edition. This is not acceptable to me. On Feb 29, 2024, I emailed Joe Manno and requested a refund. He agreed to give me a refund. I never received a check. I’ve emailed him numerous times and he keeps saying that he would email whoever takes care of refunds. Can't CALL them?? It’s almost two months since he told me that I would get a refund, and I STILL have not received a refund! Filed BBB complaint April 22, 2024. Have not heard anything!!
