The only proof I ever needed was when I attempted to file complaints with them.
I had let go of a house keeping company after the first .com bust - and 2 years later they attempted to sue me for $175 - which was completely fraudulent (they basically printed an excel table and dated it 2 years prior and stated it was for unpaid services, we went to small claims court in Los Gatos, I ended up winning - but Los Gatos ended up keeping my money they had me pay into escrow).
I filed a complaint against the BBB who argued to me that they were a company "in good standing" and "gold member" or some such.
The bailiff at the LG court told me the company was suing all their previous clients for small amounts as their "M.O." in an effort to make money because of the down-turn...
