How will my company benefit as a Member of Netcheck, why should we join? |
The bottom line is exposure. Membership in Netcheck works for you in 2 different ways.

Please explain Netcheck's Free Consumer Service procedures. |
When you file a Compliment, Netcheck will forward your comments in their entirety to the company. Those companies on the Internet that are conducting sound ethical business practices, deserve a pat on the back. Netcheck is here to give them that ‘pat’.
When you file a Complaint, Copyright Dispute or Email Spamming Problem, our staff gets right on the problem. Netcheck will forward your complaint via email in it's entirety to the company/individual seller in question. Upon receipt of your complaint to the company, they are requested to respond directly to you within 7 days to work toward an amicable resolution. At the end of 7 days, you will receive an email from Netcheck requesting an update from you. Please respond back to our update request in a timely manner. If the company has resolved your complaint, we will send notification to both you and the company that we have marked the complaint file RESOLVED. If the company has not resolved, Netcheck will send them a request to respond within 24 HOURS. At the end of this time period, you will receive another request for update from us. If the company has failed to respond, or work toward a resolution with you, they may be displayed on the Netcheck site showing they have an unresolved consumer complaint on file with us. It is our goal to work with all parties until an amicable resolution can be obtained in a dispute.
In cases where a resolution is not possible due to deliberate fraudulent practices by a company, all qualifying cases are turned over to the Computer Fraud division of the FBI. We assist them in ensuring the safety of the consumer on cases considered federal fraud.
Through our experiences, we find that most companies want to know when there is a problem with their customers. We have also found that companies genuinely want to work with the customer towards a resolution. Netcheck as a third party, opens the avenues for communication between both parties, so resolutions can be obtained.

I searched for a company by name in Netchecks' search engine and it came back with no results. What does this mean? |
The directory of our search engine contains all of our Member Company Profiles and profiles on companies that have unresolved complaint on file with us. "Nothing
Found" simply means that the company you searched for is not a Member of Netcheck and has no unresolved consumer complaints on file with us. This is one of the Free Consumer Services brought to you by our Netcheck Members. You can also enter any product or service you are looking for and any Member companies who provide them, will be listed.
