Comments on: How to Complain as a Consumer and Be Heard

on 1/9/2008 Hi Dick and Sandy,
This is truly an outrage. I would have a letter stating your wife's disabilities only for this reason. my late ex-mother-in-law had M.S. She was often thought to be drunk or high because she had a terrible sense of balance. Along with the pain and heartache that her illness caused her, she had to be made to feel ashamed and like some kind of criminal or nut case on top of it. Although I don't know personally how you feel, I have seen how it made her feel. I pray that people will jump to kinder conclusions once in a while. Perhaps someone saw the effects of your wife's disability and thought she was doing something wrong...or perhaps someone doesn't want older people or disabled people in their establishment...in which case, you'd have a good lawsuit. God be with you both and thanks for your kind words. I will say a prayer that you and your wife receive justice.

on 1/9/2008 My disabled, senior citizen wife & I were put on a Motel 6 Do Not Rent list for no reason - at all. The owner implied to the BBB that we were drug dealers or prostitutes. I enjoyed your article and will put it to good use. Thanks, Dick & Sandy
