My company had a pretty good D&B rating for a young company and rightfully so. We noticed a sharp drop off in our rating without having any negative accounts. I called D&B to find out why the answer still infuriates me.
They told me they recently updated their systems and purged information. The kicker... for the low low price of $4000.00 they would assign a specialist to insure all my company information was accurately put back in.
WTF... What good are they if a company can buy a good rating and if you don't pay the "ransom" you don't get a good rating.
This company is using their position to extort companies.
