      This agency was suppose to provide help to ******** ******** in paying off my credit card debt with US Bank. However this agency acting in bad faith withdrew over a $100.00 dollars every month for an entire year never making any payments to ******** ********** two credit cards. I demand to have this agency thoroughly investigated as to why they found it necessary to act in such a fraudlent manner siphoning off my pillage from social security how sad that this credit counseling service agency displays the same behavior as Magellan Public Solutions. That being said, perhaps the office of the Attorney General Jim Petro/Dave Yost needs to peek into how and why this agency riped off ******** with intent to decieve. More over, perhaps the feds should look over Advantage Credit Counseling Services maybe others have been scamed as well. The account in question ******013-***********. See Attached.

      What an amazing experience!I did research before choosing ACCS in 2019 I signed with the company in it's debt management program.My cards and alls debts are now paid off.My credit score has been updated in a very positive way. I was even able to buy a home in which I was unable to do so before the debt management program.ACCS kept me updated by emailed receipt every month. I was able to stay in touch with creditors and monitor my payments. Thanks ACCS.**********
