Aspire Visa Customer Service and the Company is awful Columbus Georgia

I paid off my account 3 months ago, today i got a phone call from a customer service person saying i was three months behind, but i paid htis off three months ago, i started to talk about this and my phone died. The called from a blocked # and i have no idea what number to call themb back at.

I do not see ASPIRE VISA as being a reputable company. ALL the employees are in Panama! Consumer comments can be made by anybody. I know this for a fact. My boss does it all the time on Amazon.

My credit was shaky after being a poor grad student for 2.5 years. I got an Aspire 'gold' card with a measly credit limit. Sure, the interest was high, and I hated that stupid monthly fee and outrageous annual fee, but I paid it off every month, and I got something like 3 credit line increases.

I had the card less than 2 years. I got a platinum Mastercard with a $5,000 limit through a 'real' bank. I did a balance transfer, called Aspire and closed my account over the phone. It was instantly closed.

I never once had a bad experience with them.

It's expensive, but if you're looking to improve your credit score, Aspire works for some people. And it's through CBT (Columbus Bank and Trust)...I've never heard of CompuCredit.

So far, I have had a good experience with Aspire Visa. I applied and received my credit card with no problems. I have received 2 credit increases( without asking) and I have only been with them less than a year.

When I got married, there was no hassle with being issued a new card with my new married name on it. They automaticaly cancelled my old one and sent me a new one.

Unfortunately, not everyone will have my good experience with them. However, I will always keep my eye open.

The parent company of Aspire Visa is called Compucredit (compucredit.com), based out of Atlanta, GA. They make their money by extremely overcharging unexpecting consumers inflated interest rates, late fees, penalties, etc. Unless you are willing to shell out more than you originally had, which is not the case if you are applying for a credit card, do not apply or use this credit card or any credit cards from this company.

I have an Aspire Card also. I have never had any problems with (so far) but that doesn't mean anything. I have paid them off because the interest was too darned high.

Please tell me what type of program they put you in that caused this program.

I have spent the last 4 years rebuilding my credit and the last thing I need is some snag that I was not expecting.
