Complaint:
This has been going on now for about 2 years. I asked for information about billing and coding and that when the calls started. At the time I was on a wait list to get into the XXXX program. when I finally decided to get into the program, I was told I could do the program at my own pace. XXXX did not tell me anything else about fundamentals. So I write a email to the school about taking something I don't need. Also I didn't even get a chance to even start classes. So this is my whole issues. Why am going to pay for a class that I did not even take. They sent books and that was it. I only have a responsibility to pay for the books that's it. I have tried to contact XXXX and Launch and all I do is get the run around about who i can talk to about the loan. I have even asked for contact of a Ombudsman on each side and no one has given me any information. At this point that account is on my credit report and has my XXXXredit score in the dumps, just because of this one account. I feel this is a scam because they never give you any precise information to solve my problem. I need help to get them off my credit report and they need to be investigated. I had to block them form calling me everyday.

Complaint:
I had a merchant account with Elavon Inc, my account was closed unexpectedly and without warning, leaving my company unable to pay for services and my employee 's salaries. There was no warning or evident reason for Elavon to freeze and then close my account. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, was very unattentive to my needs and rather cold, I didn't even receive a phone call from her explaining why my account was locked and subsequently closed, even though she said she would call me about the resolution. Elavon has failed to provide a resolution and they seem to not care to resolve this issue with me. Also, Elavon withdrew prior deposits from my bank account leaving me in a serious debt, when my customers have paid and received their services, but my payment ended being stolen by Elavon. They say they will hold my monies for 120 days in an impersonal template email I received from their automated system, There is no reason to hold my funds and I want them NOW!

Elavon , Inc has stolen {$5200.00} from me and I want it back immediately, there is no lawful reason for them to have withdrawn money from my bank account and to withhold my {$5200.00}. They can not provide a reason for them keeping my money, my customers paid for their services and received them and I'm the one that doesn't get paid, plus my employees have to go without their pay?! This is unnaceptable!
