After multiple attempts at resolving the issue, the collections company simply claimed that they were “waiting on the city.” On one occasion, the complainants claims, “I offered to contact the city myself and was given a number with no name or department.”

Later, an employee of AmeriNational Community Services then told the complainant that they would immediately put them in contact with someone who could assist the complainant. After two weeks, the complainant is still waiting on this call. The complainant claims that they will not be paying any  more monthly payments until this matter is resolved, and they expect that “any late fees that come as a result of not paying be waived considering the lack of customer service and responsiveness.”
