What qualifies for removal

PissedConsumer says moderation removes a review that is found to be problematic or misleading. Reviews can be reported for reasons such as these:

  • Commercial or promotional content
  • Inappropriate content
  • Posted to the wrong business
  • Duplicate of another review
  • Defamatory statements
  • Obscenity, threats, or hate speech
  • Spam
  • Fraudulent activity

How to report it yourself

Reporting a review is free.

  1. 1

    Report the review

    Click the three dots at the top right of the review, choose Report Review, specify the reason and click Send report.

  2. 2

    Wait for the moderation team

    The report goes to PissedConsumer's moderation team, which removes the review if it finds it problematic or misleading. No timeline is published.

  3. 3

    Consider the Legitimacy Verification Program

    A paid process in which a Third-Party Neutral, an independent attorney, decides whether the post complies with the Terms of Use, based on your Complaint and the author's Answer. The decision is final.

Notice: A name showing up on a review site like this one often shows up elsewhere too. A free, confidential scan can help you see the fuller picture.

If the review stays

A review that PissedConsumer finds compliant with its Terms of Use and that isn't removed through the Legitimacy Verification Program, a court order or the author stays published.

Common questions

Can I pay PissedConsumer to remove a review?

No. PissedConsumer states that it never allows businesses to pay to remove bad reviews. The Legitimacy Verification Program is a paid arbitration process, not a pay-for-removal service, and a Third-Party Neutral decides each case.

What is the Legitimacy Verification Program?

It's an alternative dispute process in which a Third-Party Neutral decides whether a post complies with the Terms of Use. You submit a Complaint, the author is notified and can respond with an Answer form, and the Third-Party Neutral, an independent attorney, decides based on both. The decision is final, with no right of appeal. There are limits on how often you can use it and how many reviews a Complaint can include, and you can't use it if you've been in litigation with PissedConsumer or have threatened legal action against it.

Can the reviewer delete their own review?

A reviewer can ask for it. They log in, open Reviews from their account menu, click the three dots on the review, choose Delete Review, pick a reason and send the request, which the support team then assesses. Alternatively, the author can send a notarized letter, covered below.

What is the notarized letter option?

It's open only to the author of the review. The letter includes the author's full name, mailing and email addresses and signature, the URL of the review, a signed statement that they posted it and want it removed, a signed statement that the information was incorrect when posted and is true to the best of their knowledge, made under penalty of perjury, and a legible notary stamp. It can be mailed to Consumer Opinion LLC or scanned and sent through the Contact form, and PissedConsumer says the review may take up to 2 weeks.

Will a court order get a review removed?

PissedConsumer accepts a valid court order by email or mail. The order must be signed by a judge and filed with the court, state exactly where the content is located on PissedConsumer, and include language in which the judge specifies that PissedConsumer must remove it. An order from a court outside the United States must be domesticated to meet US requirements.

Can I respond to a review for free?

Yes. A business can reply to a review as the company at no cost, and reporting a review is free as well.

Do I pay if the review isn't removed?

Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed.
