on 10/11/2009 I owe Aspire Card $4,900 last year september they suspended the card. I paid around $2,000 dollars to Aspire Card for late fees over limit fees even though I
was not using the card, and I still owe Aspire the same as last year this time.
Aspire Card made an agreement we me paying the late fees and over limit fees over $700 and I would pay the minimum limit of $74. Then they send me a form to make minimum automatic payments from my bank account, I fill the form out and send it back to them two weeks before the closing date. After Aspire Card got back the sign form they said that it was late and I am now off the program. I call again and now I was told that the program was for four months.
Aspire Card percentage is 23, 25 or 30 and you should pay $45 they would charge you $70 $80 or $90 and you can not do nothing about it.
How can I owe the same after paying Aspire around $2,000 for...

on 3/16/2009 In my experience, the BBB gathers information from the consumer and the company and sends it back and forth. It does not do anything to really resolve issues. I made a complaint recently, and even though the company sidestepped the issues in its response, the BBB "determined that despite the company's reasonable effort to address complaint issues, the consumer remained dissatisfied." So now it sounds like *I'm* being unreasonable while the company is oh-so-cooperative and helpful. Well, if they were really so reasonable, I wouldn't have had to file a complaint against this company in the first place. I did have one good experience with filing a BBB complaint, but I think that's because the company choose to do the decent thing, not because anything special the BBB did.
