      So according to my credit report, my loans from this business were taken over by another called ******. However, when I went to confirm this because ****** is not only going to charge me less monthly, they also won't charge me until student loans resume on the 4th of October, I discover that UAS is STILL going to charge me this upcoming September on the 4th, even though they are no longer on my credit report. Yes, I AM upset that they have been charging me through the payment pause that was in effect, but I am EQUALLY mad that they are still going to be charging me even though they are no longer on my credit report, and it's even saying this account was dropped.

      I purchased from ********. When setting up payments for my account on their ********* I continue to have my cc compromised. Over 5 times. I have reached out to them about to their support emails with zero response. I received a called today regarding balance. They were not helpful. They said if I don't pay they will send to collections. They offer a bank account method which I explained I was not comfortable with given the constant issue. I asked them to send me a secure link and method to pay they declined. I asked for a manager who picked up didn't let me say 2 words said it was going to sending to collections and hung up on me. I have recorded the whole conversation.

At no point was I offered to submit payment in Any other way except credit card or bank draft. If they have another secure option I request they call me and provide the options. I’d be happy to share the recording with upper management or they probably have their own recording.

      I opened an account with this provider in April 2022. The terms of service was pay the minimum payment and receive no interest if balance was paid in allotted time frame. This provider since opening the account has only sent 2 bills to pay though it was supposed to be monthly. therefore, I am being charged interest. When I spoke with the provider today, they said they do not have control over the postal service. They also said that they do not accept wire transfers from banks so by me using my bank, they are in turn sending a check and the provider is indicating they are not receiving the check in time. I disagree wholeheartedly. I believe they are intentionally not sending bills and claiming mailing issues when receiving checks so that they can charge me interest. When I called the provider today I asked if they would forgive the interest and late fee if I paid the account in full today and they said no. I asked for a manager to call me back to discuss and have received no phone call back. I am sure they are doing this to other customers and would like you to intervene and protect the customers who are dealing with this provider.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:  They have not attempted to contact me 12 times either by mail or email.  I have yet to receive a call back from a manager from this business as I requested 4 days ago to try and resolve this matter over the phone.  This business does not accept wire transfers from banks and the allegation is that the postal service is late in delivering the payment from the bank even though the bank shows that the payment was delivered and cashed by the business.  If you attempt to do an over the phone payment it cost you extra.  I have paid the account in full as this business is fraudulent in dealing with their customers and trying to intentionally get the customer to default on the agreement so that fee’s and charges can be added.

      I would like to see proof that attempts were made to contact me.  As I stated before, statements were not being mailed as requested from the business and payments received were not being processed upon arrival rather waiting until the payment would be considered overdue before applying payment.

      Please see the attached document regarding the contact attempts. UAS first began contact attempts before the account was due, this was to introduce ourselves to the consumer, but after 2 calls and 2 text messages UAS was unsuccessful these were attempted in April.   Then in May the account fell delinquent and UAS began attempts to contact on 5-18-2022 and 12 attempts were made before the promo expired on 5-25-2022 with an additional 17 attempts before the payment was received.  The calls went unanswered and all but one text message failed.  The consumer was enrolled in e-statements and was only sent a paper statement after the account fell past due, the consumer did not opt out of e alerts until 8-2-2022 after the account was paid in full. Our first contact with the consumer was on 7-29-2022 which the consumer did request a supervisor but one was not available, but did speak to one on 8-2-2022, ***** provided the details of the account including the call attempts.  UAS does not accept wire transfers, but does post all payments once they are received.  UAS did exhaust all efforts in order to resolve before the promotional period expired, but was unsuccessful.

      I did not authorize e services at all.  I requested at the time to have statements only which I received only 2 since the start of the contract.  In order for me to authorize e statements I would have had to login to their 360 portal and I did not login to the portal until last Friday, July 29, 2022, when I paid my account in full.

      Honestly, I find it very hard to believe that you’ve done everything possible to resolve this matter.  As, the only thing that you’ve done to this point is to try and fraudulently take money that isn’t yours.  I don’t expect you to be honest and show that i did in fact call and change my phone number on April 12 2022.  I don’t expect you to be honest and show that I never logged into the portal to say that I accept e statements and e communications.  I’m not trying to get something I didn’t pay for.  I’ve paid my account in full.  I didn’t have to.  I could have not paid and let you try to get the money from me some how, which in today’s day and age would have been impossible to do.  But, I’m being honest!  

      I do expect that the BBB will find in my favor and realize that your business did not handle this properly.

      I, ******* ****** financed $3500 with a medical spa named ***** **** through a third party financial service named Universal Account Services. The promotion I was approved for was “interest free” if the borrowed amount was paid in full within 24 months. My initial three payments were processed manually through website, **************. After my third manual payment I set up autopay on their website for February. On or about February 23 I received a text message stating my payment had not been received. When I logged into the website I saw my February payment had not been processed so I manually processed the payment and re- entered my information to have the account on autopay. In March I received a letter in the mail from Universal Account Services stating I was no longer eligible for the Promotion of “interest free” because my payment was not received. I contacted the company by phone. I spoke to a representative who stated I was “kicked out” of the promotion because I was late with my payment. I stated to the representative that I set up auto pay but it didn’t take my payment and I paid the bill for the month just as soon as I got a text message from the company stating it was never received. She then went on stating I was 1 day late from the grace period that is allowed. I stated that it seemed odd that I set my account up for auto pay and it didn’t go through and the day I am no longer eligible for the promotion is when they contacted me by text. She stated there was nothing that could be done but to try to set my account up for autopay again. Which I had previously already did. On March 16th and 20th my autopayment went through twice. I called company again to get clarification on what was going on. I spoke to a supervisor during that call, he stated it had to be a system error but they couldn’t do anything about my eligibility for the promotion of interest free. I am now paying 24% interest on their system error.

      Thank you for allowing Universal Account Servicing to assist with your issue. The agreement that was entered into on 10-15-2021 was not interest free and was under a promotional period.  Per page 11 of the attached agreement the promotional period states assessed interest will not be added if the account balance is paid in full within 24 months, AND minimum monthly payments are made each month. Unfortunately, the 2/14/2022 payment was not paid until 2/25/2022, which resulted in the loss of the promotional period. There were 3 months in which the minimum monthly payment was short, and Universal Account Servicing did assist in bringing the account current twice. The promotional period ended 2/24/2022 and autopay was not added until 3/17/2022 at 12:17 pm, after the promotional period had already expired. A manual payment was made online 3/17/2022 for $139.00, autopay ran on 3/20/2022 for the regular monthly payment for $139.30 since the account was reflecting past due to the short payment. There was not a system error which caused the promotional period to expire, the assessed interest was added due to the late payment in February. Universal Account Servicing is a third-party billing company and  must abide by the terms of the signed agreement.

      I agreed to a term with them in early 2021. As humans, we all make mistakes. My wallet was stolen and as a result, my method of payment card was also stolen. I took immediate precautions to retrieve everything that was lost and closed my previous credit card. Although this card was linked to the form of payment on UAS, I was not at the time, too worried about this scenario because UAS also has my bank account information. Rather than pulling the funds from here, they remained silent and did not insist on letting me know of this discrepancy. I would assume that any company would immediately contact their client if they encountered an issue with payment. Their policy states "Minimum payments are required." It does not explain what happens if there was a case in which a client does not pay. There is also a section that states clients will be penalized a $10 late fee if no payment is made 10 days following the due date. I have looked all throughout their terms and nowhere does it state that a client will lose their promotional period if they do not pay monthly. There is an awful lot of ambiguity for this case. If a client knew they would be charged interest ON TOP OF WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY PAID (around $1900) plus THE REMAINING BALANCE DAILY, it would be in the best interest of the client to handle this issue immediately. They contacted me 11 days after the due date (first my inactive home phone number rather than my personal) notifying me of the payment error. After asking multiple representatives why I was not contacted of this before the promotional period was over, a representative, ***, spent 35 minutes trying to convince me they tried letting me know the day of receiving the error. After realizing she was wrong, she then apologizes for this and says it was a mistake on her end. Not an ounce of effort was displayed to notify me of this error. Now I owe $750+. For what? This company does not have you in their interest and is hungry for your hard-earned money

      I went into an agreement contract with UAS in April 2021. I have always paid more than the minimum and in December 2021, due to financial hardship, I did not make a payment in December 2021; however, in January 2022, I made a $200.00 payment. UAS cancelled my contract and billed me back the interest accrued which is now over $300.00 in interest fees. I have called them twice and said I'm willing to pay off the amount without the interest and they will not do it. I am willing to settle my account by paying the amount owed but cannot afford to pay the interest accrued. PLEASE HELP!

      Universal Account Servicing does understand that it is unfortunate to lose the promotional period but does not alter the contracted terms. The consumer is not required to pay the current balance in full and may continue to make monthly payments. Universal Account Servicing made four attempts to contact before the promotional period expired and an additional 4 after the promotional period expired.  Universal Account Servicing started their communications with a SMS message in which the consumer then replied stop. Universal Account Servicing did not have any communications with the consumer until February 11th, 2022, to our after-hours number.  UAS made two call attempts to follow up with the consumer in which they terminated the calls.  Please see the attached call notes and call logs.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: I did not receive the full treatment. The final bliss treatment was not received which is the most expensive of the treatments due to me having severe headaches. When I spoke to ***** ** and made them aware of my concerns I was told the treatments probably did not work because I did not do my part , which is absurd, ( I am still drinking a gallon of water a day even while not receiving treatments), and even though I did NOT complete the process, I still was not going to be refunded for the treatments that were not received. I should not be responsible to pay for treatments I did not receive. Also, I should not be responsible for treatments that don’t work especially when they are as expensive as $3,000.00! How do $3000.00 treatments not work, it’s a scam. The company preys on people looking for a solution knowing it will not work in the abdomen area. Their practices are unethical seeing as how they know the abdomen fat is harder to get rid of. I also don’t believe they have a real relationship with ***** ******** whose face and name they use to advertised. They are taking advantage of people all the way around. Since I am in contract with Universal Account Servicing I feel they should protect me against being charged for services NOT received or product not advertised correctly. Which they don’t although they advertise that they do! 

      Regards,

      ******* *******

      This company has screwed up my account and I have called to talk to someone about it and the staff hangs up non stop. I am asking that we get someone from their executive relations team to call me.

      Universal Account strives to assist and resolve all issues, we were unable to complete our consumer verification process before calls were terminated. Upon receiving email request from the consumer for return call, our senior executive called and spoke with the consumer.  Consumer is requesting a payment extension, which we are granting.  We believe this to be fully resolved.”

      Do not trust this company they will lie and use scare tactics. Oct 28 2021 I signed up to use the the third party for a loan towards a cosmetic procedure. An unfortunate unseen event occurred and I’m unable to get the cosmetic procedure done. I never made an appointment and I’m not scheduled for any time in the future. No procedure has taken place. I called the UAS to cancel to the loan because I will no longer be getting the service done and they told me I signed a contract stating I had a short window to cancel the loan and my best bet was to pay for a service I’m never receiving. I politely asked to speak with someone else or someone in corporate and he (*****) refused to let me speak with anyone else. He insisted I pay the money for a service I am no longer getting. I looked through the contract 6 times and no where did it state that I had a short window to cancel. No where in the contract did it state I couldn’t cancel either. After coming to the conclusion I realized this company will lie to you and not allow you to speak with corporate or legal department to resolve an issue. It’s very simple I don’t require their money that I never used but they’d rather lie and scare you into paying them regardless of principle. I’m so outraged by this situation and am willing to go to small claims court. I don’t want money I just want to cancel due to me not needing the loan services. Do not trust this company you will end up in court to get justice

      Universal Account Servicing is a third-party billing company and does not cancel contracts. On 12-3-2021 the consumer called the office to cancel and was advised UAS would create a support ticket on their behalf to engage the Service Provider, and the consumer also stated they would engage the Service Provider. On 12-9-2021 UAS received notice from the service provider to Cancel the account as no services were rendered, UAS has closed the account. UAS believes they did everything to assist the consumer and this is resolved.
