Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
FIRST PREMIER BANK Screwed others too and victimized many consumers with charges on closed account. Look for yourself. Sioux Falls South Dakota
We closed our account back in JUNE OR JULY, We sent a check marked PIF and wrote on the bill to close the account.
A month later we got another bill (8/20) for $1.15 and called the company. Again we told them to close the account and paid the PIF. We did not get a bill for several month and now in November they have another $25 or so in NEW CHARGES from some online internet company with a disconnected phone number. How can this be on a closed account? Once again my husband called and also sent a letter disputing the account. We got a letter from the company dated 11/28 claiming they were looking into the dispute an would get back within 30 day. Tonight (Sunday)at 5:30 PM I get a call from Justin or Justice, trying to collect on this bill.
1)The account is in dispute so they can not try to collect on it.
2)They called on a Sunday and I think there is another law there that was broke.
3)How can a company accept charges on a closed account?
So I get online and look them up on RipOffReport.com (the better of the two) and PlanetFeedback.com to see if this is just us or something they do to everyone. I can tell you we're not that special. THEY DO THIS TO EVERYONE!
They just don't realize they messed with the wrong family. Mother is private investigator, Step Mom was/is FBI and I was in collections for 10 years. They don't have a chance.
Wish us luck in this... Looks like a win-win for us after tonight.....
In writing they claim.....
