This company is reporting information that is not true or correct to the credit reporting agencies. I have called this company to resolve this issue. The agent told me if I submitted a payment my account would be paid in full, and this will resolve all credit issues and agreed to remove anything from credit report. I submitted payment and this is still showing up on my credit. I would like the company to follow on their end of the agreement. when I call now I am sent from agent to agent and asked to call a number where no one returns my call.Business Response

Please see attached letter. Thank you. $2,5000.00 of the $4,000.00 was deposited in a Savings Account held by Cross River Bank. On or about
December 5, 2022, SeedFi transferred servicing of the loan account to SST and a welcome letter was
sent on December 7, 2022. The savings account created as part of the loan transaction has always
remained with Cross River Bank. The terms and conditions of the loan remain unchanged.
Review of the payment history reflects brief regular payments made to SeedFi for the agreed upon
amount of $95.00 from September 29, 2022, to November 24, 2022. Following the transfer of service,
payments continued from December 9, 2022, to August 7, 2023. Thereafter, payments stopped, and no
further payments were made to SST. The remaining balance following the last payment was $2,994.71.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The respondent indicates throughout
the letter that I was given a loan; however, I would like to clarify
that no loan was ever issued to me. My agreement with Seedfi required allocating my
funds into a savings account, reported to credit agencies. I was assured that I could terminate the
account at any time, and at no point was a loan extended to me.
During a phone call on December 26, 2023,
the agent informed me that the individual I was being transferred to was
part of a department within SST that would consider my proposal to pay my
account in full and consequently remove any negative entries from my credit
report.
The correspondence states that payments were
made from December 9, 2022, to August 7, 2023. This concerns
me, as the credit reporting agencies have inaccurately recorded missed payments
from February 2023 to October 2023, and no additional payments are reflected
following October. I kindly request that this company rectify the inaccuracies
in its reporting to the credit agencies and honor the offer regarding my
payment in full. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
******* *******Business Response

SST found
no inaccuracies to rectify. As stated in our initial response, $2,5000.00 of
the $4,000.00 was deposited in a Savings Account held by Cross River Bank. The
rest of the loan, $1,500.00, was deposited into your bank account ending in
0678. Based on the agreement detail, the claim of being able to terminate the
account at any time is unsubstantiated. If no loan was issued to you, the
payments that were made and the calls made to SST requesting to pay off the
loan state otherwise.
Next, during
the call on December 26, 2023, you were provided with the phone to American
Coradius International, LLC (ACI 1) as your account was marked as Do Not
Collect in our system. During the interaction you were provided with your
balance as you requested to pay off the account. The agent who assisted
instructed you to contact this number to pay off your account. You had
requested to speak with a specific person, but you were provided with the phone
number instead. At no point did the agent state you were being connected to an
SST agent. When this number is dialed, the automated system confirms you are
calling ACI 1. Furthermore, there was no mention of or discussion of any credit
reporting details during this same interaction. We also partnered with ACI 1
and review of the call from January 19, 2024, where the account was paid off, confirms
there was also no mention or discussion of credit reporting.
Lastly,
regarding the credit reporting, based on the document provided, payments are
being marked as Late. Our response indicates that a payment was made, not what
the credit reporting was during the month that payment was made. We suggest you
reach out to each of the three main credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and
TransUnion for a better breakdown of the credit reporting as we work with them
directly and not a third party such as Credit Karma.Initial Complaint

This company took over a business for a different company, Tally, which went out of business. When I originally heard from this company I thought it was a scam because nothing looked legit. However, 3 months ago I learned the hard way that they are legit because my credit score was majorly affected. I called immediately and asked how I can pay because if you’re past 60 days on a payment you cannot pay online. They told me I was too late to pay online and I needed to wait until the collection agency called. I’ve been waiting and calling and getting the same answer, and it’s making a terrible impact on my credit score, I’m trying to buy a home and this is the only delinquent thing on my report but it’s dropped significantly. I am continuing to be told that at the end of each month the delinquent accounts are transferred to a collection agency. It’s been 3 months of waiting and calling and they just keep saying yeah I’m not sure why your account has not been transferred yet, but check again next month. I cannot wait any longer, they won’t expedite anything for collections, and I’m unable to pay the full amount in one transaction, which is what they are saying my only other option is. This can’t be right and it’s unfair to hold my account hostage like this.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:In their response, the company admits that account should have gone to collections in January 2025. Each time I called, the response was that a payment cannot be made until the account goes to collections at the end of the month. Each time I emailed I got a response that they could not help me via email and I must call. 6 full months went by without the account going to collections to make it payable, 6 full months went by and they did not actually even tell me I could pay the full balance off once, they said I had to just wait. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago that someone finally told me the other option was to pay in full, not ideal but at least gets this off my credit report. I have finally paid the amount in full, the company did not uphold their end of the bargain once, the repayment was solely to get this off my credit report so I can apply for a mortgage in a month. The lack of attention and assistance from this company makes it clear that they are just short of a scam. Communication looks like a scam, the website looks like a scam, and the lack of knowledge each time I called looks like a scam. I regretfully paid the account balance in full and reject the response from the company. Waited until I just paid it to even reply, very professional.

Re: Case # 23436899 – ***** *****
To whom it may concern:
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the above-referenced complaint your office brought
to our attention. Systems and Services Technologies, Inc. (“SST”) is a loan servicing and payment
processing company that is committed to resolving customer service issues in a cooperative and
expeditious manner.
As previously mentioned, Tally ceased operations in early September 2024 and transferred all
open accounts to SST for servicing purposes Prior to the transfer, Tally sent a Truth-In-Lending
Disclosures showing her, her balance at the time of transfer of $4,548.52 with a fixed interest
rate of 26.74% and a minimum payment required of $141.56 due on September 23, 2024. Tally
sent two notifications to each consumer regarding the transfer. SST additionally sent a welcome
letter that included payment option instructions including an “Authorization to Debit Account”
form to initiate electronic debit entries and authorize SST, and provided information about how
she can self-serve her account on our website, ********************
Our records show that your account was past due by more than 90 days, which is why online
payments were no longer an option at that time. As noted in the terms of use in
*******************. we reserve the right to modify or discontinue your access to this Portal at
any time without prior notice. Please note that if we suspend your access to this Portal, you are
still obligated to make payments on your account, as set forth in your Loan Agreement.
In addition, no subsequent payments were made on the account after the transfer. After the
payment was missed, SST attempted to contact you to bring the account current. Because you
failed to make any payments on the account, it was charged off on January 31, 2025, and it was in
the process of being placed with a collection agency.
Unfortunately, federal law prohibits us from promising to remove negative reporting in exchange
for payments on an account. As such, we are unable to remove the negative reporting on your
credit report.

Though this is the first time I have personally received any correspondence from this company (and the method of delivery seemed very shady, especially after we were scammed by the solar panel folks to begin with!) - I am satisfied with this company directing any future correspondence to the attorney that is handling our lawsuit against the solar panel company.

On 3/14 I made the final payment of $2616 on my borrow and grow plan from ******* which is apparently now serviced by SST. I was told had to wait two weeks for the loan to close before I could request the $4500 from the account be transferred to an account of my choosing.
On 3/28 the ability to request the funds was available and I made the request. The website said it could take up to 3 days to receive the funds. It is currently 4/8 and no funds have been received.
On 4/4 I called to see what the issue was and was given no information. I was simply told to wait a few more days.
Today, 4/8, I called again and after several requests for escalation, was finally told that the funds were sent on 4/7 and the 3 days doesn't apply until the transfer is initiated. No one could tell me why it took over a week to initiate it.
At the very least, they need to update their website with accurate information on transfer times but I also think that their frontline reps should have access to more information to better service the customer. Simply telling someone that they need to wait when the provided deadline has already passed is horrible customer service.
If funds have note been received by 4/10, I will update this case.Business Response

********* **** ******** ****** ********* ***** ****** ********** **** *** ********* ******* ***** ***** ***** *** ********* ** ***** ****** ************ *’m filing a complaint against Systems & Services Technologies (SST) regarding repeated violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in relation to a debt account initially managed by Talley, which was sold to SST after Talley's closure.
On multiple occasions from October 19 to November 6, 2024, I received an excessive number of harassing phone calls from SST, totaling over eight calls in five days. Despite my requests to cease communication, SST persisted in contacting me, violating § 1692(d) of the FDCPA, which prohibits harassment.
On November 6, 2024, a demand letter outlining these issues was sent to SST, requesting cessation of communication and notice of my representation by Legal Rights Advocates. This letter was returned due to an incorrect mailing address, which I later confirmed with SST.
Despite taking appropriate legal steps, SST has failed to respond to my demand letter or provide accurate contact information for their legal department. Furthermore, during my attempts to communicate, I was informed that I would need a power of attorney for discussions about my account, which is not a legal requirement under FDCPA. This indicates a deliberate obstruction of my rights.
As of March 21, 2025, SST’s owner threatened my attorney for sending the demand letter, demonstrating their unwillingness to engage in fair negotiations and resolve this matter. I have not received any written communication from SST regarding my concerns or the demand letter.
**Resolution Requested:**
1. Immediate cessation of communication with me regarding this debt.
2. A written response to the demand letter sent on November 6, 2024.
3. Correction of any negative reporting on my credit related to this account.
4. Allowance for my attorney to discuss the legal aspects of this case without obstruction.Business Response

I am filing this complaint against Systems and Services Technologies (SST) and their partner Alorica for unlawful debt collection practices.
I was placed on a $24.56 minimum payment plan with a $300 annual fee and 27.24% APR on a balance of $749.36. These terms were never properly disclosed, and I never signed or authorized the loan terms.
Despite multiple requests to cease collections, SST and ******a continued to withdraw payments from my bank account. I was forced to remove my account information to stop unauthorized withdrawals.
I filed complaints with the Missouri Attorney General and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). SST responded with generic documents that lacked a signed agreement, original creditor documentation, and any valid debt validation.
I am seeking a full cancellation of the debt, reimbursement for unauthorized fees, and damages for emotional distress caused by this unlawful debt collection.
I just need this complaint to go through as part of my exhibits when I sue them in a court of law.Business Response

1. No Signed Contract Has Been Produced
SST claims that an electronic agreement was signed on April 19, 2022, and refers to specific pages. However, they have not provided any signed copy of this agreement. What I received was a generic transaction summary and a multi-page document that appears to be a standard template—not something with my signature or clear proof of consent to the terms.
A company cannot simply claim an agreement exists. They must prove it, and so far, SST has failed to do that.
2. They Admit They’re Only a Servicer
SST acknowledges that they did not originate the loan and are merely a servicer. That means they are enforcing a loan they cannot validate, and their refusal to provide any original documentation from the lender (Tally) only reinforces the fact that this debt has not been legally substantiated.
3. They Refuse to Acknowledge Their FDCPA Obligations
SST claims they are “not a debt collector,” but their role as a third-party attempting to collect payments on a transferred account qualifies them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Their refusal to produce proper validation while enforcing repayment terms and debiting accounts directly is a red flag.
4. The Cease and Desist Confirms My Point
I find it telling that instead of resolving the dispute, SST placed a “cease and desist” on my account. This is a tactic often used to deflect liability without admitting wrongdoing. The core issue—a lack of valid, provable consent to loan terms and fees—still remains.

My issue is with the sale of ***** to SST and their inability to help me transition over to make payments. ***** sold to SST and the emails I received looked like a scam from SST including a link that did not work, and a website name accountinfo (dot) com that looks like something a 3rd grader would make (this did not help to make reassure me this was real). I kept trying to make payments through the ***** app, until eventually the app shut down.
Fall 2024, I began emailing SST because the website would not allow me to make payments and said I needed to call with my debit card (again a huge red flag). I said I was not comfortable with that and to let me know how I can pay online again or use a credit card. For multiple months they kept telling me I had to call with a debit card and when I called, my call was cuttoff mid talking with a representative multiple times. (At this point it seemed like for sure a scam). 3 months later when I called SST and finally got through, all calls are handled in a centralized call center and their is no way to talk to anyone else outside the call center to confirm the legitimacy of the company. As a result, they began sending late payments to my credit report (I have never once made a late payment to any other company in my life) and this only was a result of them not helping fix my problem to pay.
Finally after months of trying they informed me that if I paid over the phone they would fix the online portal so that I could make other payments there (Strange they couldn't just fix it for me in the first place) SST is entirely at fault for me being unable to make payments in the first place. Additionally they have a 1.1 rating on BBB and a 1.3 on g***le so I thought it was a scam. I just want to pay this off in full and have the late payments removed from my credit report. Everything they sent seemed like phishing and it took them multiple months to help me to fix getting payments in (Which is why any were late to begin with)Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I emailed multiple times Fall of 2024 to gain access to the new online account (the link they sent did not work). Additionally, I called multiple times in the Fall of 2024 to make payment and was disconnected multiple time while I was put on hold. My request to no longer call me was because you would call and I would answer and you would request I call you with an automated message. You would call multiple times a day, I would answer and it would again be an automated message telling me to call. I would then call you and not get any help towards making my payment. The first time I was able to successfully able to get through and make a payment was in January after this account had already been reported to the credit reporting agency. I am in no way arguing how much I owe, or what I agreed to. I am simply asking the late / missed payment demerit come off of my credit reporting because it was made so difficult to make a payment prior to January. I am now completely current, and would not have been late in the first place if not for the complete ineptitude of your customer service. I tried to make payments September - December and SST's made that impossible. It seemed borderline on purpose that they were keeping me from being able to make a payment on my account so that they could apply late fees. I hope that is not the case, but frankly with how difficult it was to make a payment online and by the phone, there is no other logical conclusion. With the horrible BBB, google reviews etc. it would not shock me if the issues I had making payments were on purpose. I am happy to pay off the full balance early to prove that any issues with payments was entirely do to how difficult SST made it to make the payments.When going through Tally, payment was made through a new, easy to use app. SST sent me a broken link to a seemingly 20+ year old website that didn't allow me to make online payments and then dropped multiple of my Fall 2024 calls when I tried to make payment. Any late payments were entirely due to the negligence on SSTs part to help me as a customer both online and by phone.

I am writing to formally dispute the account referenced under account number IC102**** that appears on my credit report. This account was opened without my authorization and constitutes fraudulent activity. I have no recollection of applying for or consenting to any agreement with SST/ICREDITW
Under 15 USC 1692g (Validation of Debts), you are required to provide verification of the debt or a copy of the judgment if I notify you in writing within 30 days. I have not received any signed contract or documentation proving that I consented to this account. Without a valid, legally binding agreement bearing my signature, there is no basis for this account to exist under my name.
Since this account was established fraudulently, I request its immediate removal from my credit report and that any collection activity cease. If you cannot provide proper validation within 30 days, you are required to delete this account from my record and stop further collection efforts.
Please confirm receipt of this letter and notify me of the next steps to resolve this matter.Initial Complaint

I am not liable to this debt for tally, I do not have a contract with system and service technologies. They never provide me with the original contract as requested.Customer Answer

System & services technology is demanding for me to pay off debt that I never borrowed from the company. This is an agency that never sent any contract or disclaimer where I signed or agreed to borrow and pay back any kind of credit from them. I am not liable to anything system & services technology is demanding from me. They went to the credit bureau and reported delinquency on my credit report which is a false accusation on there end when in fact I have done no kind of business with this company in anyway shape or form. This accusation is costing me my credit score and the delinquency should be removed as soon as possible otherwise I’ll see that this company gets justice and will use the full extent of the law considering there are laws in full effect that protect consumers from these kind of accusations.
