    I orignally signed up with this company to participate in a wedding expo last august 2023 which i completed. Upon signing the document i was informed that i was being locked into a 2 year contract and if i were to cancel i would have to contact the company by a certain time to break the contract. However due to extenuating circumstances I was not able to contact the company in a timely manner as a small business owner. I explained to the company that i cannot afford to pay for this years expo due to budget constraints. ACS was not willing to terminate the contract despite this information and is now black mailing me into either making payments starting in august and not participate in the expo or be sent to collections. This is bad business and discriminatory towards my circumstances. I am looking for BBB to help me in resolving this manner that will result in me not having to be strong armed by a business that only cares for its revenue gains.

    This place is an absolute fraud, scam and SUPER predatory. My Wife????????????? and I signed on for a show last year through a sales rep by the name of ***. *** proposed that we would get additional money off if we checked the box for multi year. When asked about the stipulation of the multi year, he said it was not a big deal and you did not have to attend but see how the first show goes and then decide. Here we are 1 year later, And like the countless companies reviews of this business that I have read, they are harassing us about almost $5000 being due for the show in September (Mind you this is June 17 as I write this). They have been blowing up my wifes email all day, threatening to throw us in collections and corrupt our credit score. When I have spoken with ******** in the retention department, she too is threatening to put the charge into collections if we do not pay for a show that we are not even attending. The show did poorly for us last year and we havent even thought twice about going back. Now here we are June 17 and theyre contacting us stating that since we didnt get back to them by June 1, we will be charged. They did not send a friendly reminder email that if you do not cancel by June 1 we want $5000 from you, but instead contacted us 16 days past above mentioned date so that they could scam us out of money that is not theirs. This company resembles a thief in the night. They have zero professionalism, mislead you on year 1 so that they can scam you out of thousands of dollars the following year. I will be filing a class action lawsuit and will have my pound of flesh - I promise you. BBB, you need to do something about this. Its wrong, predatory and extremely manipulative.
