Avoid these predators
Avoid these predators. Had an Academy Card issued by these people. I errantly missed one payment by a day. Always paid at my local Academy Store. Well later on they failed to process another on-time payment and I failed to keep my receipt from Academy. My bank showed nothing processed so they dinged me again. I paid the account in full in January and asked them to close the account. They verified via email my account was closed with a $0.00 balance. They have continued for 6 months to bill me on this closed account. I made a report to the BBB and they replied through the BBB that they don't handle complaints through them, I would be contacted directly by them. Within 2 days they retaliated by adding 2 more negative reports to my credit report. One 60 days late and one for 90 days late. No correspondence at all. I have written them with their confirmation email on the closed account attached. We'll see. If they don't straighten this out I will gladly drive to Ohio for a civil suit.
