The problem I have is that the company has to call me every month to make a payment. They do not have an online system that works. When they call to take my payment they are usually rude and rough and try to lecture me about paying off the $35,000.00. I hate taking their calls and wish I could just make my payments in peace.Business Response

Beginning 10/3/2024, I made several calls to the phone number provided by my original creditor (###-###-####), who was *** **** ********** This number gives me a recording telling me I’ve reach who I’ve intended to, American Coradius International LLC, and immediately puts me on hold. I’ve also never received a letter from this company regarding this debt. We were working with a debt consolidation company, but have decided to no longer work with them, and need a pay off statement for our credit union to take over and help us. However, I cannot make contact with this company. After 4 minutes and 30 seconds on hold, a new recording plays that says everyone is assisting other customers, and to please call back during business hours. I’ve made sure I called during those hours, and made sure I was in the right time zone also. The recording then automatically hangs up on me at exactly the 5 minute mark, every time. This has happened at least 8 times. I even called the phone number to make a payment, and was met with someone who seemed utterly confused as to why I was calling them, as if I’d dialed the wrong number, and then when I told them what I needed, I got a long silence and was then told I needed to be transferred. I was transferred, to be met with the same recording and was hung up on, at exactly 5 minutes, again. How can you even ask for money from someone, but not answer when they call to try and pay you? If I can’t even get a statement, how can I even verify how much money I owe? I can’t even speak to anyone. I unfortunately don’t think I have time to send a written letter, since I didn’t know this would be a problem in the first place. But I don’t even have the information required to get into their online bill pay either, because it requires information on a statement, I’ve never received.Business Response

This is the third and fourth letter I've received from ACI, each addressing **** ******* for credit accounts with ****** I have no affiliation with. I have filed with the BBB twice in the past, and each time ACI confirms that they will close the account and cease collection attempts. Clearly that isn't the case, because I just keep receiving more letters about random debts that I have nothing to do with. I am sick and tired of this scam. I don't know if my identity has been stolen or what, but **** ******* is not my name and no one of that name lives here. At this point, I am SO fed up and frustrated. I cannot be more clear: COMPLETELY BLOCK THE ADDRESS **** ***** **** ***** ******** ** ***** FROM YOUR SYSTEM!!! DO NOT SEND ME LETTERS ABOUT ANYTHING EVER AGAIN! I am not affiliated with this alleged debt and I have never had ANY association with ******'s credit accounts! DO NOT CONTACT THIS ADDRESS EVER AGAIN.Business Response

This company purchased an account from *** ********* Bank that was allegedly taken out in my name. However, I NEVER opened this credit card with *** *********. My mother and I spoke to *** ********* MULTIPLE times and told them that this card was opened in my name by an under age (young) family member. It's NOT mine. I do not have a job and am a full time college student in Boston and have been for the past 3 years. There were charges made while I was in school, in Providence and I was NOT LIVING there at the time!! We were told that *** ********* was going to cease all collections and remove any negative marks on my credit report (which is now 504) and I have NEVER OPENED A CREDIT CARD WITH ANYONE......EVER!!!! So now, before I even graduate college I have a sub par credit score!!!! This is NOT fair to me!!!!! The other day my mom received a letter from this company who has now bought *** ********* stating they are trying to collect a debt that IS NOT MINE!!!! I want this OFF MY CREDIT REPORT IMMEDIATELY!!! I want my credit score adjusted IMMEDIATELY and I want ALL letters, calls or contact of ANY KIND to CEASE immediately!!!!! I want a letter, in writing that from this company, ACI international LLC that they will remove any negative remarks on my credit report, adjust my credit score accordingly on ALL FOUR CREDIT REPORTING BUREAUS.......NOT JUST ONE!!!!!! I also want in writing they will not sell this to any other collection agency, attorney or any other business. EVER. I want it in writing and not in an email. I want a letter mailed to my home in Rhode Island and I want it immediately. This has ruined my credit and my ability to get any credit card and I haven't even ever applied for one!! I'm going overseas in January to study and now I can't get a credit card!!!!!! This is UNFAIR. FIX IT NOW. I give you 30 days to make a correction to my report by REMOVING IT in it's entirety!!!!!!!!!! I'm pissed.Business Response

With that said, I do however want to point out that I don't have any *** *** account. After talking with the *** *** Credit fraud dept and ********* Bank customer service on 8/27/2024, they pointed out that ****** Inc does not exist! That they wouldn't file any business documents with that title.To sum it up they felt this was a scam! Advised me not to pay anything to ACI and in reality *** *** owed me money I didn't owe them anything. Please at least post this response to the public so others can beware.
