I like many others have fallen victim to Family Credit Counseling Corporation. They had deducted the normal payment from my bank on October 17th and have not to this day (65 days later) disbursed those payments to the proper accounts. I have placed (and highly suggest others to do the same) a stop-payment to my bank and have enlisted the help of my state's attorney generals office. They have taken on my case and are trying to contact FCCC, but as we all have experienced, a return call is hard to come by.
The next step for me will be private representation to help me settle this dispute. I have brought my accounts current myself and will continue to do so. I have also pulled a recent credit report only to find the most recent non-payments listed, but more than 15 other late-payments on my report... Unbeknownst to me. All of the late/non-payments were on accounts under the control of FCCC during the timeframe that I have been enlisted with them. My monthly payment to them has never been denied or returned, either... Until my recent stop-payment order. As you can imagine, this had a very damaging affect on my credit rating. One would think that by enrolling with a "credit counseling" company, you could expect timely payments. Not much of a "counseling" company!!! What a joke!
Look forward to watching this company fall, and truly hope the federal government can step in and shut them down. This has got to be highly fraudulent and illegal.
