I have received phone calls from Credit Systems International, *** and have called them back in March, April and May and tried to obtain information about a debt that they've said I owe. Each time, I've asked for a copy of the bill, date of service, provider's name.1st call: They said they would email me a bill and that it would be sent after the end of business on the day I called. I asked if I could view/pay the bill on line and they advised since I have no account number from the bill that it wouldn't give me any information.2nd call: Got a voicemail, called back, requested a copy of the bill again as I never received one. I was told again that they would send me an email but it wouldn't be sent until after they closed. I asked again if I could pay it online and was told again that I could go online but there wouldn't be any information. I asked for the account number which they provided and website, the website was very generic and only asked me for an account number and ********************** card number to pay the bill so I was hesitant to to pay.3rd call: Received voicemail, called the company back again I asked for a copy of the bill and verified that they had the right address. I was told the address I gave them was not what they had on file but I gave the address anyway so they could mail a copy of the bill.4th call: I received a phone call today and for a fourth time I asked them to send a bill. The ***resentative was extremely rude saying they sent me a bill on 6/18/25 which again I have NEVER RECEIVED. I stated I was told previously they would email and mail a copy of the bill and that I'd verified my address. She told me they don't email bills and never have and laughed at me again. I told them I filed a **** complaint, they didn't know what that was. 5th call: Called back today, the *** said she would request the bill be mailed again and noted the account as disputed. She also stated they don't email bills. If the bill is valid, I'd like to pay it.Business Response
