Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Credit Collection Services ( www.ccspayment.com ) notified me via a written letter that they are collecting a debt of {$87.00} that I owe to XXXX XXXX. At the time I had already disputed any charges with XXXX XXXX via my insurance agent. 

The letter from the debt collector indicates that I can dispute the debt via their website. However, when going to the website I couldn't locate any way to submit a dispute online. 

I later tried to reach out via phone which took multiple attempts to get a hold of someone who also indicated to me that filing a dispute does not pause the charges alleged to be owed, and that this will end up hurting my credit. Given the short amount of time left I paid the amount, and determined to file a complaint against the collecting company. I also filed a complaint via XXXX against XXXX XXXX.
