American Credit Educators ripoff BBB Has 454 Complaints in last three years Denver Colorado
After seeing my credit report and seeing American Credit Educators on it (A company I have not done business with) I contacted them for proof of debt - with no response. I then attempted to call them and found that there number is now a 900 number charging $1.50 per minute.
Based on this, I filed a complaint with the FTC consumer reporting office. Only one report has ever been filed with them concerning this company - they cannot help on an individual basis but if they see a number of complaints they can take action. I called the Denver BBB and have found that in the last 3 years the BBB Denver has received 454 complaints against this company.

After speaking with the BBB regarding this company I learned the following information. American Credit Educators started business in May 1993 under the name S C Advertising. They have also used the names American Fair Creditors and United Credit National Bank - if you call the FTC consumer complaint center tell them you are aware of case number 4846942 and that you would like to file your own case in conjunction with this one - The company is definetly a scam.
