    I received a copy of a experian credit report revealing a debt in collection for $2,160.00. I told *** that wanted to pay the collection off that listed on my credit report. *** double debit my debit card for $2,160.00 twice. Then, he sent me a receipt, excluding the amount paid. I would like for *** from American Capital Enterprise to pay back the billing error and provide a proper receipt, providing the amount $2,160.00 paid. *** also included a .40 charge without explanation.

    We have investigated this, and our bank records only reflect that we ran the card once and payment was only debited once from her account. 

    Her records simply show "pending" twice. We have called her to explain but she has not returned our calls.

     I am rejecting this response because:  I EMAILED THE COMPANY THE SAME DAY THIS OCCURRED.  I EXPLAINED TO THE COMPANY WHAT HAD OCCURRED.  THEY DID NOT CALL ME RIGHT AWAY, I CALLED THE COMPANY, AND I SPOKE TO MAX.  INFACT MAKE ASKED ME TO HOLD ON, AS THOUGH HE NEEDED TO TAKE THE PHONE CALL IN PRIVATE.  I ASKED HIM, IF HE DEBTED MY CARD TWICE HE SAID NO.  BUT HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY? HE EMAILED ME A RECEIPT.  STATING ACCOUNT(S) PAID IN FULL WITH ZERO BALANCE WITHOUT PUTTING THE AMOUNT PAID.  PLEASE EMAIL ME A PROPER RECEIPT WITH THE AMOUNT I PAID.  NOW THE PENDING CHARGES ARE STILL PENDING.  MAY BANK IS WAITING FOR YOU TO RECEIVE THE MONEY, SO THEY CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER.  IT IS VERY UNUSUAL THAT NONE OF THE TWO CHARGES CLEARED.  AND, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL, ASKING IF I WAS "OK".  NO I AM NOT OK, THAT I AM GRIEVING AND CAN NOT GO BACK AND FORTH.  I SENT THE INCOMPLETE RECIEPT TO BBB.  FOLLOWUP AND REQUIRE THIS BUSINESS TO GIVE AN APPROPRIATE RECEIPT
    THIS IS IT FOR MY STRESS LEVEL CANNOT DEAL.

    AMERICAN'S MERCHANT CARD PROCESSOR AGAIN CONFIRMS  THAT $2166.40 WAS SUBMITTED, APPROVED, AND CREDITED TO OUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT ONLY ONCE ON MONDAY, MAY 8, 2023.   

    HER INITIAL EMAILED CONCERN WAS RECEIVED AFTER HOURS AND WHEN SHE CALLED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING SHE WAS ONLY PUT ON HOLD WHILE WE VERIFIED THERE WAS NO ERROR.  

    MOREOVER, SHE HAD REQUESTED A PAID LETTER, NOT A RECEIPT.  WE'LL GLADLY SEND HER  A SECOND PAID LETTER AND ADD THE AMOUNT PAID EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON HER CARD STATEMENT AND WAS GIVEN HER PAYOFF UP FRONT. 

    SHE IS WELCOME TO CALL US DIRECT IF QUESTIONS REMAIN.

    American capital enterprise is reporting a inaccurate and invertifiable debt on my credit report. You are saying this is my debt when you have not proven this it. Delete this account asap from my credit profile asap. You are also reporting duplicate account from my credit profile.

    Business response

    06/20/2022

    American was never contacted by her,   Her 6 accounts were disputed through Experian  and we conducted the proper investigation.  Our clients documentation reflects her signing as the mom for a minor child. Insurance was billed and partially paid. Her drivers license and signature  on her disputes  is a match  to that provided our client 3 years ago.  There is no credit reporting inaccuracy or duplicate charges.   We will forward her our client's documentation as a courtesy
