I was turned into this agency for a dentist bill, I paid the bill within 30 days of getting the letter from the agency. 3 months later I called to make an appointment for my son at the dentist and they still had not received my payment. The Dr. called the agency and they said "Oh yeah, it is paid. We will send the statement and money." 5 months later that account showed up on our credit report as unpaid. Contacted the dentist and they didn't understand why since they knew we paid it. They called the agency and they said they would re-report it as paid. It should have never showed up on our credit at all since it was paid within 30 days of receipt of the letter from the agency. Am currently trying to get it deleted from our credit since even showing paid it still marks down our credit score and shows past bad debt. Not having much luck getting in touch with the manager to deal with this either.

I was reported to transunions on a bill to St marys hospital on a bill i never made.never been to st marys..

These folks are BAD!BAD!BAD! their legal prcatices are not so legal they ar euncareing lieing individuals. They do whatever it takes to collect the bill no matter a persons situation, the place is filthy and gross. They should be ashamed!

I've been sent to several collection agencies, it's hard to make it these days! ANS is one of the few who have worked with me instead of threatening me with legal bull. Yes, they do call monthly to check up on the money situation, but if I say I don't have it, they will accept less for that month. Plus they don't show up on my credit report - and that is a major plus in my book. They've collected from me on about 4 debts, and have never been rude. Currently I am almost paid off, less that $100 to go...

This collection agency put me in a extrememly uncomfortable situation at my job. They called me constantly to collect a debt that I cannot afford to pay right now. The debt is actually extremely questionable (an old landlord is wanting me to pay for a partial remodel on her house just because I broke the lease!) and I agree to some of the debt but not the whole debt. I will pay for breaking the lease. I will pay for the shampooing of carpets and for the oil can I left outside being disposed. I refuse to pay for new tile and painting the entire house! That is unfair! They won't allow me to explain this and only pay the portion that is legitimate. So, now they served me court documents through the Sheriff's Dept. at work (which was COMPLETELY uncalled for!). It is none of their business where I work and this is OUTRAGEOUS! There should be laws against this abuse!

This business prank calls the alleged debtor at work, continuing to call even after the individual asks them not to call and to communicate via mail. They will send actions via THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT to ruin the reputation of people in their workplace instead of sending the actions to the person's home. They ACTUALLY have employees call the workplace and ask for the individual, and then they hang up when the person answers. This is their tactic at checking employment, despite the fact that the individual asked them not to call their workplace! They call monthly to speak to the individual's supervisor to do an "employment check", all the while telling the employer who they are and their purpose (to collect debt). This "individual" is me and I have medical debt that I cannot afford to pay. I'm among millions. How am I supposed to keep the income I have if this company continues to harrass me at work, cluing my co-workers in on my financial troubles which are none of their business?
