Quick Answer: GetOutOfDebt.org recommends responding to complaints by posting comments directly on the relevant post to address issues openly and professionally. The site advises that handling complaints transparently builds customer confidence, as the mark of a true company lies in how they resolve problems rather than avoiding them entirely.
Your site says someone tried to contact me about a response to a complaint about my company… I dont have anything from anyone, I respond to all complaints, have nothing to hide and have always rectified every situation. Can you send me what ever it is I need to respond to the complaint, I dont know who is making it.

Every weekday I read the enforcement actions, filings and fine print the outlets skip, and turn them into the one or two moves that actually improve your position — a rate worth moving for, a fee you can refuse, a deadline to beat before it costs you.
I write Your Money Actually most weekdays — actionable money information you will not find anywhere else, and the small decisions that compound. It is free, I sell nothing, and I take no money from any company I write about.
Dear Thomas,
The Daily Money Brief — Free, at 10 AM
Money you may be owed, scams to dodge, and the fine print decoded — the consumer money news that affects your wallet, every weekday.
The best way to respond is to post a comment on the post or reply to the comment made you feel needs qualification or an answer. Handling these issues openly and professionally will create more confidence in future clients.
The mark of a true company is not if issues might arise, but how they handle them. I’ve written this guide to help people deal with complaints and responses. See How to Handle a Consumer Complaint Like a Pro And Come Out Smelling Like a Rose.
It sounds like you’ve already got the right attitude about these kinds of issues so you are ten steps ahead of most other companies.

Before You Sign Anything: Run any debt relief contract through the free Contract Decoder to spot hidden fees and unfair terms. Check the company’s complaint history with the Scam-O-Meter.
Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement. Take the Find Your Path quiz for a recommendation based on your actual numbers.
I do and will, thanks. I just want to know who is making the complaint before I add to the post, I have had complaints from people who have confused me another company who took my companies name on, very frustrating.
What happens is people dont read. If someone googles my name and sees a company with same name with negative marks they dont do research to see, they go into flight mode and make fear based decisions.
If the person is not of my company or the dollar amount is off, will that be corrected? Who will decide who’s right and wrong. Even a complaint that is correct but still popping up ina goggle search hurts me.
What recourse do i have other than a positive rebuttal? I will never have anyone walk away from MY company that can say I broke our agreement, period. Its not worth it. But in google land im guilty at a glance.
Thanks for help in resolving this, id like to find out a way to figure out who is complaining before I respond. Please let me know how I do that.
Thanks again.
