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.

Comments and Analysis

This company is selling a business opportunity for a marketing program that is designed to generate sales for picture framers or art dealers. Respondents are given an exclusive marketing territory and are asked to purchase 50 art prints to advertise as free to attract customers to buy frames with the art included. The company's refund policy stipulates conditions which must be met to be eligible for a refund. Buyers must place ads in local papers, send a tear sheet, and return the prints in resalable condition. On January 22, 2002, the company advised our office that they are no longer in business. The office has been closed, telephone numbers are disconnected, and there are no assets.
