I reviewed the interactions between you and our representatives.

Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
You have not indicated that the account will be deleted from my credit report. Simply returning the alleged debt to *********************************** to be resold is inadequate. Is there any proof the account is even mine?
Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

I don't really have a complaint, I'm just trying to get called back to pay my debt before fall term registration closes. I was able to contact the company in the morning but now after work and within their business hours no one is picking up. They did want me to pay over the phone which would have been easier but my sister is helping me pay and she's West Coast so when I called she was sleeping. I sort of feel like they aren't picking up any more because I didn't want to pay right then and there. I'm trying to contact them before doing this but their ******* account is suspended.Business Response
