BP Calculators are sham, use at your own peril

I watched a dozen or so BP webinars Brandon gave on the much ballyhooed "calculators" and final upgraded to Pro to have access to these calculators. I posted several analysis "to the community" for review and comment and received little to know helpful criticism. I even posted asking if anyone on BP uses the calculators and not one person responded. I should have asked that before I spent $400 upgrading to use the "calculators". When I noticed a few issues where the calculators appeared to not be functioning properly (no information is provided with the calculators, you get just what Brandon uses in the sales pitch every week (like Carlton Sheets). I notified BP via a link they provide for making such a report and got a pathetic response. I was told I should pose the question, of the functionality of the BP calculator, to the community. I sent 3 or 4 analysis' to "customer service" as requested over a period of about 3 months after a chain of emails and never received any direction or support. I checked one of the calculator using a method Brandon himself promoted before the calculators and that method found the calculator to be wrong too. 

I have been a member of BP since 2005ish and it pains me to write this. I have been embarrassed with clients and may have lost deals because the calculator can't seem to determine how much a down payment would be or how to calculate a COC. I am disappointed the calculator I used may or may not work but more disappointed at the anemic to non existent the customer service/"support is. I have asked for a refund but probably the only thing that will happen is this not get posted and a refund not given.

Pretty strongly worded title, I've had no issues with the calculators. Maybe @Mindy Jensen can help you with support issues?
