Origins of ripoffreport.com

I became infuriated as I witnessed these powerful people and groups engaging in despicable practices with impunity because of the knowledge and confidence that the sheer cost of combating them through the legal system protected them from all reprisals. On these occasions when I would mention the mere possibility of legal action, I would be sharply met with the smirking remark, "Go ahead and prove it," or .."Go ahead ..Sue me."

It was those very comments that recently inspired me to provide a forum for people like me to fight back. I was in the midst of a battle with city bureaucrats when I pled my case to the city council, the mayor and the city manager for help. However, rather than assist me as I had hoped, they supported the powers organized against me, which I soon learned was headed up by the City Manager himself!

I enumerated the various outrageous actions against me to the city manager; and, believing I was powerless, he stated..."Go ahead sue me." Rather than just attempt to "prove it" to the courts, I decided to "prove it" to the public.
