    I received a letter in the mail dated November 17, 2025 from American Cortis international LLC. It states that I owe $360 through ****** with an account number of *******************. I have checked my ****** account and have a zero balance. This is definitely fraudulent and inappropriate. I am reporting this to the Better Business Bureau because it appears that this continues to keep happening from this company too many people across the United States.

    On April 1, 2025, I was charged $2,550.00 by AMERICAN CORADIUS INTERNA NY. I do not have any reason to have this charge on my card. I do not know why this charge was made or what it was for. At the time of the charge, my address was *** ******* **** *******, MI. Since then, I have moved to Lansing, MI, which is the address on this complaint.

    Because of a heavy workload and personal life transitions, I did not review my full expenses until last night. While completing my expense report, I noticed this charge. I have no record of authorizing this transaction, and I have not received any product or service that would explain it.

    I am requesting an investigation into the source of this charge and a resolution, as I believe this charge was either unauthorized or made in error.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. I would like to confirm who the person was that made the payment if it was not myself. I would be glad to provide the details of the only other person on this account. My husband, ***** ****. If I can confirm this was indeed the other person, I will be satisfied with your response and drop the case. I appreciate your help on this!

    Unfortunately, due to federal disclosure laws, we would need verbal or written permission from the account holder to discuss any information with a third party not named on the account.  You can call ###-###-#### with the account holder on the line to provide verbal permission.

    I do not know the date of the debt, the paper bill does not include this information.
    I attempted to pay the full balance of $25.75 on behalf of my daughter. The automated phone system directed me to a website for payment, but the site does not exist. When I called back to pay over the phone, the representative refused to accept payment simply because I am not the account holder — despite the fact that I made it clear I was not disputing anything, only trying to resolve the balance in full.

    This seems like intentionally obstructive behavior, and it's unacceptable. When a company actively prevents people from paying debts in good faith — while continuing to report or pursue collections — it calls their legitimacy and business ethics into serious question.

    After this experience, I checked the company’s BBB page and saw that hundreds of similar complaints have already been filed. It’s clear this is a pattern, not a one-off issue. I am filing this complaint not just to document what happened to me, but to warn others and to urge BBB and regulators to take a closer look at this company’s practices.

    I do not accept this because they have yet to explain why the payment was rejected, but collection efforts continued. As stated before, it is unlaw to reject a payment in full. No account information was in question. Only a call with intent to pay in full. I already had the account number and reference number that I provided and tried multiple times to pay in full.

    I received a piece of mail stating that I owed money to *** *** in the amount of $543.00. These were fraudulent charges placed on an account I hadn't used in years. I disputed the charges with my bank and they also agreed that the charges were fraudulent, credited back my checking account and filed a dispute with *** ***. I received a letter from my bank that the dispute had been settled with *** ***, and then I received this letter in the mail almost 3 months later.

    There seems to be some miscommunication between the information provided to the company attempting to collect a "debt" that isn't actually owed as it was already settled by all parties. I request this collection attempt be disregarded and avoid any future communication with the company.

    Subject: Request to Update Paid Collection – Account #******* (****** ***** LP)

    To Whom It May Concern,

    I am writing to request an update to your records regarding the above-referenced account. As shown in the attached letter from American Coradius International LLC (ACI), a payment of $1,686.77 was made on January 30, 2025, as part of a settlement that your office accepted.

    ACI confirmed receipt and agreed to notify your company to update the account status. However, this debt is still appearing as unpaid or derogatory on my rental screening report, and it recently led to an apartment denial.

    Please review the attached letter and update all applicable records to reflect that this account has been paid and closed. I respectfully request written confirmation of the update once complete.

    Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,
    ******* ***** **********
