Additional BBB Reviews

Complaint Type: Billing/Collection Issues

Kristie (or Christie) called my home number (972-********) from Accelerated Financial Solutions and requested that I verify my name and my birthday was July 1965. My birth year is not 1965, but I was not going to confirm or deny any information to these people. She would not give me any additional information as to why she was calling or why I needed to verify myself or my birth information. I asked for her name, company name, and telephone number and called back to see if she would answer and she did. This is the second time someone has called me from this company. I need to know why they are contacting me and if this call is legitimate. Also, the calls need to stop. This company appears to be a problem with other consumers. I hope they are not allowed to put any false information on my credit report. Thank you.

Total Customer Service, Inc. Complaints

You should consider filing a complaint if a collector harasses you. You will have an advantage of support from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Better Business Bureau (BBB) as they condemn any form of harassment during collection. Inaccurate data provide grounds for these Bureaus to fill complaints against the collection agency. While filing complaints, you will be protected from the collectors using intimidation tactics and harassment.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) provides consumer protection from harassment of false accusations and stops debt harassment. Total Customer Service, Inc. understands this particular law; thus, you need Lexington Law to challenge your collectors equally.

How Collections Affect Your Credit

There are several ways to harm your credit score, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Failure to make regular agreed payments could result in a collection from a bank or creditor, and overspending one’s allowed credit limit would bring about a higher interest rate. Late payments could result in credit history reductions and, eventually, collection practices.

The collection agencies correlate with each other through advancing credits as insurance. If your account happens to raise a red flag during such transactions, it will stain your credit score. Without your dispute or defense against these accounts, your ability to renew credit will be crippled and turned impossible.

More Tips on Dealing with Total Customer Service, Inc.

Avoid direct communication. The collectors will try hard to communicate with you over the phone as a tactic to trap you. It would be best to curtail communication to prevent them from profiling you in their records.

If Total Customer Service, Inc. is persistent, politely inform them that you strictly demand all conversations in writing. Request a formal letter to validate their claims. You can freely ignore their ignorant calls once you have passed the legal information.

Acquire hard evidence of communication. You must record the call if the conversation needs to be through a phone. Secretly recording the discussion has been authorized in over thirty-five states as a self-defense mechanism.

However, some states specifically require you to gain permission from the other party to record. If you inform them that you intend to register during the conversation and continue to talk, it amounts to consent to record. It is rare as they always hang up to escape the spotlight.

Do not act guilty. You should not attempt to hide any assets or money from a legitimate collector. It amounts to fraudulent claims if you legally own them. You need to avoid providing personal details such as financial status or associated bank details.

Do not give them the benefit of the doubt. Do not believe their story on the phone. Do not be fooled by the stories of the collector. They can paint a perfect story or provoke your guilt to convince you to settle their debts. Always keep in mind that they want your money.

Be careful with your information. The collectors only seek information that could be useful against you. You should protect your credit at all costs. Thus, revealing your social security number or banking details could sabotage your credit.

If you find your balance due, stay organized. You should provide proper identification and request a valid debt claim of your debt. They should be obliged to provide you with payment options and a timeframe. It would be best to examine the benefits or disadvantages before making payments.

It is wise to seek professional help. A third-party service might be useful if you are confused about your credit history. This organization can restore your credit and protect you from any eventuality of mismanagement.
