    Additional business information

    Additional Info:

    BBB Note:  At this time, BBB has determined that a Business Review report is more applicable than a Charity Wise Giving Report evaluation for Apprisen / CCCS, because the organization's primary source of income is related to voluntary contributions from creditors who participate in the organization's debt management plans, donations from financial institutions, and client fees, rather than solicitations of the general public for charitable contributions.

      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I to a debt management plan with on 2/10/2024. Unfortunately, they were unable to be much help, so I decided to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and had to have debt counseling. They were on my approved list, so I decided to use them. On 2/13/2024 I went online and tried to sign up for bankruptcy counseling and paid the $25. I'm not sure what it was supposed to look like, but it kept taking me through the info I put in for the debt management plan. I did the chat and they said I didn't have a bankruptcy counseling, only the debt counseling plan. I tried again and reached out to the person who did my debt management plan, he later emailed and said I would have to create another email. At that time the authorization was not showing, so I did not think it charged me (only authorized) and had fallen off and I didn't want to create a new email, so I used another company. Also, I verified, not receipt was sent to my email. I messaged customer service and asked for a refund as I used another company. There was nothing on the site about creating another email, etc . I understand no refunds, but I had to get it done and their site physically would not let me do the counseling. I did try reaching out to resolve the issue. In this case I believe I am due a refund.

      Excellent service! I had a lot of debt and Apprise helped me to be debt free! It was a long process, but they always sent email periodically to make sure I was on the right path and had knowledge of my progress. I would highly recommend Apprisen!
