      I got Accessone to help pay for my medical bills. It claimed it was interest free. I applied and got accepted on 12/20/22. My first statement was posted on 12/25/22, so I paid the amount. Accessone system glitches and charged me again on 12/26/22. My statement total went down, so I left it alone. I get another statement on 12/30/22, but I had made payments twice in December so I didnt make a payment because my total due was ****. I get another statement on 1/20/23 with a greatly reduced amount due but there was no details to why in the email or alert on my account. I paid the amount and moved on. I thought the amount wasnt right so today on 04/28/23 I called and was told my account had been defaulted because in December is PAID TOO EARLY. I have now been charged interest for three months with no alerts or notifications. I asked my account to be put back on interest free payments because I never missed a payment, they even said I paid early. They called me back and refused to put me back on interest free, so I must now pay the account in full or pay larger amounts to lessen the interest. I am being punished for paying when they asked me and not investigating their statements with no warning or notification that I missed a payment or my account was not being charged interest. This is absolutely insane. The company would have me pay them thousands in interest payments if I hadnt called and asked. Absolutely livid that they didnt say anything and then refused to fix their mistake!!!

      Thank you for contacting AccessOne and bringing your concern to our attention.AccessOne takes pride in providing an exceptional patient experience, and it is important to ** to know when expectations are not met. In response to your complaint, the AccessOne Customer Experience Team has reviewed your account information to determine if any of the interest charges referenced in your complaint were charged in error.


      Your AccessOne payment program offers two options: 1) An interest-free payment plan with a higher monthly payment, or 2) A with-interest option with a lower monthly payment. Our records confirm that in February, March, and April you made the lower with-interest payment as indicated on your statement. In response your request to again be put on an interest-free payment schedule, we have calculated the difference between the payments made in February, March, and April and payment that would have been required to stay in the interest-free program. A representative from our ************************* has communicated this amount to you. As long as this additional amount is paid before your next due date, we will be able to reset your payment plan to our interest-free program.


      Please feel free to contact our Patient *************** via phone or email if you require any further assistance or have any further questions.

      I agreed to pay per month to clear a medical bill. Access one was supposed to send me a statement each month. I set up the first payment by draft and waited for my statements to pay the rest. I never received a statement. I missed a payment because I wasn't receiving any notices and Access One charged interest and lates fees. I had no idea interest or fees would ever be added to my account with them. I happened to see a spam email dated Jan. 28, 2023 and it was a statement online not by mail. I called immediately to pay it 03/01. I was told about the fees during that call. I asked the representative to please waive the fees I couldn't afford it and wasn't informed of the fees. She requested this by email from a manager and said they would call me back. I called them back 03/05/2023 and spoke with ******, she said the fees were waived so I gave permission to take the principal balance only from my checking account. ***** assured me only the adjusted lower balance would come from my account. On 03/07/2023 the full balance not the adjusted balance came out of my account. I made it clear I couldn't afford that amount and was promised only the lower adjusted amount would draft from my checking account. I called to make them aware that once again Access one wasn't honest with me and drafted my account for more than I agreed to and Rep **** stated she didn't see any notes about waiving any fees and she said " I would just be on hold if I wanted to talk to a manager because there ain't any" I requested a call back from a manager today. 03/07/2023 Manager ***** called and she sees notes about removing the fees that **** claimed weren't there. She said she will put a portion of the fees back but not all the fees. I told her I was violated, FDCPA was violated, money was taken without my permission and I never got a statement by mail someone needs to be held accountable. She said they were justified taking the full amount without my permission. I am now waiting for another call

      Date of transaction: 11/01/2022 Payment Amount: ***** Confirmation Number: ********* Account Number: **** Payment Type: ACH Background:I've received the bill for the amount of $***** which I have paid on 11/01/2022 (see confirmation number above). I also received confirmation email from Access One (see PDF file attached). Several days later I've received request to pay $25 as a late charge/penalty fee. When I spoke to several representatives of AccessOne they've stated that my ACH transaction was reversed/didn't go through and my Bank is at fault. I called my bank, verified that my bank has not reversed any transactions from AccessOne, as a matter of fact there was no request to transfer money via ACH from AccesOne or associates of that company although their website provided a confirmation (see attached). Representatives of Access one stated that I made a mistake while entering account number/routing number on AccesOne website and this is a false claim on their behalf as well as I've checked several times each digit of the account number in question plus I've confirmed the transaction would not go through if you enter routing number/account number incorrectly as system verifies those numbers on the backend during ACH transaction. I've spoken to a manager of access one who was not cooperative with me, demanding $25 and now it is lowered for $20 for the mistake I haven't made. I refuse to pay for AccessOne mistakes and demand $20/$25 penalties be removed as they are not my fault.

      I had never heard of access one, and bills started coming in. At first I thought it a scam, as no one in the household could verify who/what access one was. From what I gather, when my father was having trouble eating and drinking (swallowing problem) and in the hospital, I believe someone signed him up with this service. As his caretaker and POA, no one asked me. I do not agree to the terms and services. My father was not in a mental state to sign anything himself. I cannot get a hold of the business to dispute anything. The phone numbers dont seem to work. Since I pay my fathers bills, I am expected to pay interest to access one for medical bills that I never agreed to. My father, being in a malnourished state in the hospital, could not have legally signed on himself. How do I remove this service, and continue to pay the hospital?

      There is not enough information to determine this is an AccessOne customer involved in the complaint.  ********************** customers are referred to our payment program through interest with their medical provider for a monthly payment option. AccessOne is a "completely" voluntary payment option. Please note our Patient Advocates are available to provide assistance Monday through Friday 8AM to 6PM est at ************.

      In January of 2022, I had carpel tunnel surgery and the bill was financed through AccessOne. The total of the bill was $3,355.33. Prior to the due date of my first payment to AccessOne, ********** Blue Shield filed an adjustment to increase my amount by $515.28 on May 11, 2022. This brought my total bill to $3,870.61. However, on June 7, 2022, ********** Blue Shield retracted that adjustment and reduced my amount owed back to $3,355.33.AccessOne never adjusted my amount owed back to $3,355.33. In July we contacted them before our first payment became due on August 4, 2022, and they said the adjustment would take about 4 more weeks to post on AccessOne. However, after making the first payment and after another month of waiting, AccessOne has still failed to adjust our bill to the correct amount, which would now be $3,097.29 afte rour $258.04 payment on July 31, 2022.********** Blue Shield retracted their error on June 7, 2022. Atrium Health submitted the corrected total owed amount of $3,355.33 to AccessOne over 2 months ago. AccessOne has been made fully aware of the fact that are knowingly over-charging us by $515.28, and are not correcting the bill to the correct amount.

We cant control the timeliness of the provider reporting balances and adjustments and we understand your frustration. The last credit adjustment posted to your account on 8/18/2022. Your AccessOne account was reset for new options,one of which is $206.49 for fifteen months interest free.

      Within 48 hours of the BBB complaint filing, AccessOne was able to resolve the issue by finally communicating with the 3rd-parties needed to make the correct adjustments to my account.  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
