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.

46 complaints closed in last 3 years.

Optima tax is nothing but a scam

They lure you in with a salesperson who knows nothing about taxes, just to get your money. Then they stall for a year so they can do your next years taxes and hope they can find some money. When that doesn't work they offer you $350 to sign an agreement not to disparage the company. When you tell them you'll file a complaint with the BBB they laugh and say they don't care they'll just say they did offer you a $350 refund. Then they set up a payment plan with the irs that anyone could easily do themselves. I paid Optima 3k and after a year with interest and penalties from the IRS I owed roughly 2k more than when i contacted Optima in the first place. There are plenty of fake positive reviews online, read the negative ones- they all say the exact same thing- those are the ones to pay attention to
