American Credit Solutions is a ripoff, they offer help & hope, but plan to scam you. Tampa, Florida
I am a young college student struggling with her credit card debt. I recieved a postcard from this company claiming to have the answer to my troubles. My initial response with was wary, but I pushed my fears out of my head.
I have a post dated check for $200 for 6/28/02. I recently called to cancel this arrangement thanks to the advice of my mother, but stupidly I allowed them to talk me out of canceling this arrangement. Tommorow morning I plan to cancel this arrangement. Hopefully I will beat them to my bank. They are disgusting thieves.

Stephany, as soon as possible, go to your bank, report the fraud, CLOSE your account. Even if they have not hit it with the $200 yet. This scam company WILL try to charge again and again under different name.
IF they already charged your account, ask for a dispute form from your bank. The bank can get back your money. In any case CLOSE your account, ask a new account number.
For the future: never accept any financial offer over the phone. HANG UP immediately. You cannot be sure who was the caller (anybody can claim to be from a legit bank), and even if it is a legit offer there is no way to get all the fine print. If you get offers in letter, check the company on the internet.
