Dear Ms. [redacted]:

and reviewed your statement of concern, and write in response to your December 2, 2016 submission to the Revdex.com. Medical Publishing would like to inform you the account for BRI Commercial Roofing reflects a zero (0) balance. BRI Commercial Roofing will receive no further communication regarding the 2015 Texas Hospital & Healthcare Guide invoice.We trust that this information is sufficient for your purposes. If you need anything further, please do not hesitate to let me know.
We are writing in response to your letter of July 27, 2015. We have reviewed the complaint and wish to respond.We believe that Ms. [redacted]’s complaint is nothing more than a transparent effort to avoid paying a just and due obligation. A review of our files...
has produced the attached correspondence supporting this purchase including a written sales confirmation and email correspondence. [redacted] made no objection at the time the enclosed documents were received.The enclosed documents clearly show that [redacted]. purchased an advertisement in the 2014 [redacted] Municipal Guide on November 6, 2014. Ms. [redacted] responded by sending the advertising copy on November 14, 2014 stating “I hope you can use what I sent you.” [redacted]’s advertisement then appeared in the Guide as promised and they received a digital link to the Guide and an invoice. Municipal Publishing LLC invoiced [redacted] for the previously agreed-upon $595 and has sought to collect these funds. Curiously, [redacted] first raisedan issue about the legitimacy of the advertisement only after they were unable to pay their invoice. The advertisement had already appeared, [redacted] had received the full benefit of Municipal Publishing’s advertising services, and Municipal Publishing sought to collect the monies due and payable. [redacted] Concrete still continues to refuse to pay for the advertising long after having had the benefit of their advertising appear in the publication. Further on June 24, 2015, by email, [redacted]. was apprised of the relevant facts that Ms. [redacted] apparently chose to ignore while filing a complaint with the Revdex.com. Municipal Publishing LLChereby reserves all rights, claims, remedies and defenses against [redacted] and all other parties in the event that [redacted].fails to pay its obligations in full ($595).
In the interest of resolving this matter Municipal Publishing will cease collectionsefforts, expunge Life Support Services’ invoice and remove from call list.However, Municipal Publishing does not in any way acknowledge or accept theinaccurate claims made by Mr....
[redacted]. First and foremost, we are publishing a statewide municipal guide for the State of[redacted] and we have done so for several other states in either a printed ordigital format for the past 10 years. The statewide municipal guide is clearlya directory of information. Readershipinformation is neither available nor applicable to such a publication. Municipal Publishing’s distribution methodfor digital guides involves placing the guide on a publicly available website,as well as sending the link to thousands of recipients throughout the stateincluding administrators, elected officials, as well as departments of finance,operations, purchasing, etc. The [redacted] Municipal Guide can be found at the following link: [redacted] an archive edition of the 2012 [redacted] Municipal Guide is available online at [redacted] where Life Support Services’ advertisement can be seen on page 3. We publishdozens of publications nationwide. The [redacted] Municipal Guide itself is anindependent statewide reference guide containing numerous other municipalities,not a publication limited solely to the City of [redacted]. We are selling advertising tosupport an independent publication that has generally become a valuableresource in the places we have published it. Any benefits to be obtained by theadvertiser relate solely to the value of its advertisement appearing in thepublication. In addition, as to the false report contained about Municipal Publishing on the website“[redacted]” which you included in your correspondence, you should also beaware that it is our understanding that the website’s founder has and is facingmultiple legal challenges regarding the reliability and dubious conduct of hiswebsite. The website enables anonymous posters (especially disgruntledex-employees) to post unsubstantiated and false claims designed to embarrassbusinesses. Then for a “fee”, the website’s owner will assist you in mediatingthe dispute. In our opinion, this is the ultimate “rip-off” and we aresurprised that you would be so willing to take at face value anonymous internetpostings without any substantiation whatsoever. Household companies such asMicrosoft, McDonalds, Wal-Mart and Johnson & Johnson are also listed onthat website. Would you also consider those businesses “rip-offs”? Again, webelieve that by citing this phony website as somehow being proof of somethingwith respect to the advertisements we properly sold to your company is furtherevidence that you have no interest in the applicable facts but rather areprimarily interested in avoiding a just obligation.

We publishdozens of publications nationwide. The [redacted] Municipal Guide itself is anindependent statewide reference guide containing numerous other municipalities,not a publication limited solely to the City of [redacted]. We are selling advertising tosupport an independent publication that has generally become a valuableresource in the places we have published it. Any benefits to be obtained by theadvertiser relate solely to the value of its advertisement appearing in thepublication. In addition, as to the false report contained about Municipal Publishing on the website“[redacted]” which you included in your correspondence, you should also beaware that it is our understanding that the website’s founder has and is facingmultiple legal challenges regarding the reliability and dubious conduct of hiswebsite. The website enables anonymous posters (especially disgruntledex-employees) to post unsubstantiated and false claims designed to embarrassbusinesses. Then for a “fee”, the website’s owner will assist you in mediatingthe dispute. In our opinion, this is the ultimate “rip-off” and we aresurprised that you would be so willing to take at face value anonymous internetpostings without any substantiation whatsoever. Household companies such asMicrosoft, McDonalds, Wal-Mart and Johnson & Johnson are also listed onthat website. Would you also consider those businesses “rip-offs”? Again, webelieve that by citing this phony website as somehow being proof of somethingwith respect to the advertisements we properly sold to your company is furtherevidence that you have no interest in the applicable facts but rather areprimarily interested in avoiding a just obligation.
