One very minor bit of slightly positive info is that after years and years of A+ ratings from the BBB the AJC is now 'down' to a B+ for failure to reply this year to 2 complaints and failure to satisfy 2 other complaints (again this year).

So while I usually refer to the BBB as the Better Cover Up Bureau it just might be worth while to file an online complaint with them:
BBB of NE Georgia
503 Oak Place, Suite 590
Atlanta, GA 30349
www.bbb.org

The quickest way is online at: http://atlanta.bbb.org/

　
Customer Complaints Sumary
114 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years, 48 closed in last 12 months
