Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Some complainants allege they receive mailing that they have won a free photo, a 3 day 2 night Las Vegas vacation, and $500 spending money. Customers complain the offer is deceptive and misleading. They allege the "free" photo is actually a 5x7 for which they are charged a sitting fee of $8.95 when the photos are taken. There is also allegedly a $10 per person fee associated with the vacation voucher. The Las Vegas trip voucher is distributed to customers when they are called to review proofs and order. Complainants allege the company uses high pressure sales tactics to coerce them into ordering low quality, unprofessional photos, in order to obtain the Las Vegas Vacation. A few customers allege excessive delays in receiving photos, or no delivery at all. The company responds to some complaints by sending photos or vouchers. Other complaints are addressed by offers of free additional photos, or by disputing the complainants allegations. One complaint is unresolved, meaning the customer is not satisfied with the company's response. Several complaints are unanswered.

Comments and Analysis

This company's prize offer or promotion, is actually a solicitation to the recipient for redemption or processing fees to claim the prize. Processing fees may vary and are usually described or justified by the promoter as necessary to cover insurance and delivery costs for example. Our experience with similar offers has been that the vacation vouchers may have previously undisclosed fees attached, may be difficult to schedule, or more hassle than they are worth. Companies commonly use deceptive sales tactics to bilk consumers for millions each year. If you have truly won a prize, there should be no redemption fees or other conditional rules to comply with in order to claim the prize.

Other Considerations

We know of no other matter or practice relating to this company that may assist you in your consideration of this company.
