Randy's List is a unique database designed to inform service industry professionals of potential problems with the occasional difficult customer. We use the term "occasional" because we believe that most customers don't fall into this category, but the ones that do can be devastating to a company's bottom line. We collect reliable information on both good and bad customers from members all over the country and put it all together in an easy to search database.

Customers are rated on how they pay, their ability or inability to be satisfied and the amount of their input into your project (micro-managers).

If you wouldn't mind working for a bad customer again, then you wouldn't want to leave negative feedback about them on Randy's List.

When signing up, you will be asked to enter reports on previous customers. This helps to build our database of both good and bad customers. After becoming a member, you will be able to search our extensive database for information on your potential customers and see how they've dealt with other service industry professionals in the past. Knowing that this customer has been easy to deal with and prompt with their payments in the past might help when it comes to making payment arrangements that you're comfortable with and that they will agree on. On the other hand, knowing about the "other" customers can save you money, time and lots of headaches.

From the "Add Consumer Report" button under the Account dropdown menu on your dashboard.

Absolutely. Just perform a search for that customer, and you will see a link to "edit report" next to their name.

When a consumer signs up as a member, we ask them to provide their previous addresses. If they are not a Randy's List member, you can perform a search for a customer by name only, and if you see results from other cities that concern you, it's best to try and find out if your potential customer ever lived there.

We do our best to verify each business when they join Randy's List. We also ask consumers to inform us of false or incorrect reports as they happen. It's best to keep in mind, one bad report on a customer is one thing, several bad reports are a sure thing.
