Angie's List Angie's list business practice Lies misleading Indiana Nationwide

 Joined Angie's list to help grow my business, joined Angie's list to help grow our business, as in me and my wife. Been in roofing business for 18 years and I have help tons of home owner with there insurance claims and get the work done for them. So I though to get my referral business going I would join Angie's list. So we did and as we did they told us about this program that we could join that would help us get phone calls and it cost 268 a month to join and it would put us on top of the other roofer in area that did not pay. Now remember we had no client that called in and gave referral so we got this cause we thought we get calls. What I did not know is that we had to have 5 referral before we went on the board as certified and I spent 268 of my family money per month thinking I get calls to talk to home owner about a chance to help them with there Roof issue. So I paid it and when they sent me the signed docs online I will be honest I did not read it. I went by what the representative for Angie's list told me. That was my mistake cause after 30 days and no phone calls I stop paying it cause I was not getting calls and then I get a call from Angie's list that told me I was in a contract and then they explained how it worked and I at this point got 3 referral to put on the referral board but I still needed two more. So after a long talk with my sales manager they were going to go Thur the recorded calls and listen to how the lady sold me on the 268 a month and to my complete surprise I was removed from Angie's list with no warning or anything and I can not believe this at all. I thought for sure this company was straight forwArd and let the consumer tell there story about contractor but like all things in life again it's about money money money money and once again the good contractor are done wrong by the bad once. The really crazy part about all this is that Angie's list wrote a story about door to door roofer being a scam and I could not believe that they take money from roofing contractor and then turn around and write a false story about it. I've been in the roofing business for 18 years and I can tell you over a million story of people who got there Roof done by door to door sale people and not only got a great roof and job but saved money on there deductible. This is why I'm writing the story for people who think Angie's list is a good company to work with. Be warned cause I am living proof of you don't pay them they will cut you off.
