Debt Collection Issues
Several reviewers experienced issues with debt collection, including garnished wages, frozen bank accounts, and lawsuits despite making payments. They reported being unable to get clear information about their accounts or receive responses to their inquiries.
Lack of Communication and Organization
The company's communication and organization were severely criticized. Reviewers reported being transferred multiple times, only to be met with unhelpful or rude representatives. They also expressed frustration with the company's automated phone system, which made it difficult to speak with a human representative.
