Owner responses acknowledge the complaints but often take a defensive stance, mentioning attorneys and disputing customer accounts rather than offering resolution pathways. One response states claims are "completely false" while another mentions "attorneys will be in touch." The pattern suggests room for improvement in conflict resolution approach.
