Default BBB arbitration

Has anyone gone the BBB route without a lawyer?
For those who have not used a lawyer was it difficult to win the case?

I'm working on my presentation and want to make sure I hit all of the highlights and make the proper points. I go in two weeks and I've been compiling data getting ready for this.

Thanks

The BBB can't make any business do what they don't want to. They have no authority or legal say so.

In Florida the Lemon Law program is operated through the BBB. I Lemon Lawed a 1996 Camero with great success. If you intend to try and return a car through the Lemon law process you need to follow the instructions in the pamphlet supplied with you warranty book and owner's manual.

I started the process by setting up a complaint with the GM Hot Line, an 800 number in your warranty manual.

A year ago I had a major argument with GM regarding my C5 (I posted the VERY long story/updates/resolution on the forum in 2007).

Anyway, when I attempted to drag the BBB into it they pretty much blew me off. I finally found a sympathetic ear in the Engineering Group of GM and got my issue resolved to my satisfaction.

BBB is as useless as being a natural born citizen to become President is anymore...

long story short BBB got all my money back from a lemon 04F150..
I called them,
They send me a few things to fill out and send back
I sent back all my proof and my testimony
I than meet with a BBB arbit. and a Ford rep 1 month later ..
I ended up winning..
All monthly payments plus down ...I had a check of 21k from Ford in my hands 6 weeks after my initial call.
If you feel like you have a strong case go with them , they seemed pretty fair...good luck

BBB is only an organization self proclaimed to syphon $$$ from those who want the BBB to say that the organization is a good and reliable one. If you don't pay to be a part of the BBB then they will not say anything good about you only that you are not qualified to be a member. I look at the BBB as legalized "heavys". Pay up and you're protected. Don't pay and they'll "hit ya". I know. I was threatened by one in a former business about 15 years ago. Get an attorney and leave the BBB a$$holes alone.
