Account Services is charging my checking account for $1,124.51 for the past three months. We did not authorize or sign up for any payments. This is fraudulent. We are not past due with any bills or third parties.ACCOUNT SERVICES EBILL PMTS ************************ ******* **********Business response

This complaint is being lodged against the wrong company. I have checked our database and have no one with this consumer's name or address or phone number. I also found nothing matching the numbers *************** provided with the payments. There are many companies and departments that use our name or something similar that are completely unaffiliated with our office. I recommend she contact her bank and begin there, they can identify where the money is being transferred to, but it is not being drafted by us. Please remove this erroneous complaint from our file.Initial Complaint

I have told them to remove my number from their system as a "point of contact" for someone else that I never consented to. Constantly receiving calls from them, filed FCC complaint against the number I'm receiving calls from. The last time I told them to remove my number the person on the other line said "Never." This is harassment and is unacceptable.Business response

This complaint is being lodged against the wrong company. We have never called this number nor *********************. We dialed the ************ number ********************* provided in his complaint and it does NOT ring into our office. It is not one of our numbers. There are several businesses that use our name or something similar, or use it as part of their Caller ID. However we have no affiliation with those other companies. Please remove this complaint from our record.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:This was the company name I was given, and when I searched the headquarters your company is the one that I found. I've worked in debt collections before and I know these companies have no problems lying about their harassment calls and rude demeanor. You have the resources to track this information down, I do not. If you want to resolve the issue, find out who they really work for and get me that information. I'll gladly consider the issue resolved after that.

Although we have no obligation to this individual, he is not a customer of ours nor have we never attempted to reach him, I will try to provide some assistance. I again called the number he provided - ************ and it now says is "unallocated". I don't know what that means, but it is not one of our numbers and has never been one of our numbers. Despite his accusations, we have no relationship with this other company nor control over their activities! If he receives anymore calls from them, he needs to do a better job identifying who they are than just getting a name. As I mentioned previously, there are several companies that use our name or something similar, or use it as the name of a department or on their caller ID. We have no affiliation with them. We established our company name 54 years ago and apparently several businesses like it or like to use it - that is not our fault. They are not our responsibility. I trust this brings this investigation to a close.Initial Complaint

I am rejecting this response because: I did not receive any text or calls about this bill from a 3rd party. I have since paid off this bill to the original business where i had the procedure since i could not find any information for this collection agency. I was also in the process of moving when i had the original paperwork from the *** and unfortunately didn't have it available.I would really appreciate this being taken off the credit report being that i had no contract with the collection agency and debt has been paid off.

As stated in our original response, we made several attempts to reach ******************* after his past due account was placed with our office for collection in June 2023, including approximately 23 telephone attempts, 13 texts and 3 notices. The address and phone number we had on file matched those in his complaint. Last week we mailed ******************* an itemization of the Feb 18, 2023 charges, a copy of his signed verification form, and a copy of his drivers license as proof of the charges. Today we received notification from the medical provider that ******************* recently paid his account. As stated in our original response, now that the account has been paid, we are sending deletion instructions to all three credit bureaus. It can take the credit bureaus up to 30 days to update their records.Initial Complaint

On 6/19/23, our office received a delinquent account for collections on *********************** in ******, ** for $215.20. The account was placed by *************** for veterinary services provided to his dachshund on 1/12/22. The 16 year old female dog was brought in in respiratory distress by the owner at approximately 7:39pm. Sadly the owner decided it best to have the dog euthanized. The balance is the remaining portion for those services. After unsuccessful attempts by the pet hospital to recover the monies owed to them, they forwarded the account to our office. Our initial notice to ************* was sent on 6/20/23. It contained the account number referenced in the complaint. Besides our initial notice, we have been unable to reach *************; this complaint is our first response.

Our efforts to reach *************** continued, however no response was received until we received a letter of dispute on November 29, 2022. At the same time we received a dispute filed with the credit bureaus. ******************* account was placed on hold, his request was forwarded onto the hospital and our credit bureau listing was deleted pending the hospital's response. We have confirmed with all three credit bureaus that our listing is still deleted. On December 13, 2022, validation of the debt, including an itemized bill, was sent to *************** at the address on the account and listed in the credit bureau dispute.
