Post subject: Help! Aspire Visa - contact info???

Has anyone ever gotten the magic phone number for the Aspire people? The one on the card is just a collection of recordings, with no actual humans. I’ve tried e-mailing them and they responded with a series of useless statements that completely ignored my question! I need to talk to someone there! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Aspire is notorious for a lack of customer service. They are more like a collection agency than a credit card. They can be found at: compucredit.com I don’t know how much help that will be. Try the links to the Aspire card but you may only get the same 800# they already don’t answer. You may have to report them to the appropriate authority, BBB, state attorney generals (yours and theirs) and FTC. Aspire is a bad deal all the way around.

this may be a little late but the phone number where you can get a live person is 1-888-790-9926, i obtained it from the georgia BBB after searching for 2 hours. when you call it press one for english, then # it should put you on hold, the helpful thing to do is to act like you dont have your acct number, they will ask for your ss#, you can make a payment by phone, if you get someone nice, the might not charge you. and if the person acts like they cannot help you, just call back and get someone else.( i had to call back twice). this is the worst company i have ever had to deal with. i havent gotten an actual bill since june 2003, and its 2/2004, they blamed the post office stating they were sending the statements back? i never have any problems with my other mail….

Aspire Visa Cardholders and Consumer inquiries E-Mail:customerservice@aspirecard.com or call toll free: 1-800-348-8783 The other numbers were not good.. I’ve tried this number and I wanted to view the statement.. then go through other options .. then it transfered me to a Customer Rep. then I told her to cancel my account. She placed me on hold then came back and said I will receive a cancellation of service letter within 7-10 days. This credit card service is the WORST I’ve ever seen and finally I can sleep tight and not worry about this stupid service anymore.

They are both owned by Compucredit at: compucredit.com/pdcts.html - a very shady operation. The complaints about them are endless.

When I reached my credit limit I buried my card deep in my wallet and determined not to use it until it was paid off. I had lost my job and this took awhile. I just received a letter from Aspire saying I was $100 over my limit. I haven’t touched it so I immediately thought it was stolen. I used the 1-866-816-6993 number and selected lost/stolen cards. I actually got a customer service rep. although he was like a computer and not very friendly. He told me that they had charged me a yearly service charge - the first one and without any warning. This put me over the limit and they cancelled my card the next day - not renewable. They really don’t know how to keep their customers.

by not renewable do you mean non-refundable?

Post subject: aspire rip off

My visa account was sold to aspire by Providian. I had an A+ history with Providian and they kept increasing my credit line. Suddenly, they closed my account and told me I had a bad credit history (they didn’t know this until they sold my account?). Funny, I have a Master Card with them also….and this wasn’t touched. Aspire is now the “collection agency” and sends me a bill every 2 or 3 months. Now, I am trying to arrange online payments and can’t find them to do it, even by their own address on my bill! Seems they don’t want my money. They just want to keep charging me. I paid over the phone and they negleted to tell me about the $12 fee. Whenever you sign up for anything at all - a phone plan, etc. - always ask if there are any fees, taxes or any other charges. No one will tell you if you don’t ask and then you get a surprise on your bill. Your $40 plan turns into a $55 bill with extra untold charges. Remember, ask all of them before you say yes.

I don’t think I have ever had a harder time trying to get in touch with a customer service representative. The number I finally got through with is 888-576-9432. Just keep pushing 2 to stay on the line and wait for the next available rep. When I finally got through I was transferred to somewhere else where they were actually able to cancel my account. I wish I could rent a Billboard and post these comments to warn off anyone thinking about opening an account with this devel credit card company.

you know instead of trying to call them, why not send a ceritfied letter? Why you may ask why i’ll tell you. 1 no waiting on the phone 2 not having to speak with a customer service rep who may not be the greatest at english 3 you know when they get the letter 4 you can have proof of the letter being sent if any legal issues come about. 5 no waiting on the phone or searching for the right phone #, all correspondence goes to georgia so you know it won’t cost much and the will understand what you mean when you state in the letter “close the account” or “here’s my new address”.

I used to have an Aspire card. Do yourself a favor and get rid of them. If you have this card, obviously you have poor credit like I do. For those with poor credit, I would recommend the Orchard Bank card issued by Household. Their annual fee is much lower, and they don’t charge a monthly maintenance fee. Also, your payments aren’t held for 10 days for verification at Orchard Bank as they are for Aspire. [/i]

I give up too! Like “angel”, I was one of the 400,000+ Providian customers who suddenly became high-risks despite spotless credit with Providian and an $8,500 limit. My Visa was sold was sold to Aspire, but not the MasterCard. Actually, Aspire lowered my interest rate and waived their customary fees. Despite all the poor customer reviews, I decided to keep the the account. I should have listened! This customer service problem just keeps getting worse and worse. Now the computer man doesn’t recognize my account number or my SSN. This number worked for me too: 1-888-790-9926. You still get the computerized version but it connects you to a human (an American no less!). Call while you can - they’ll probably change this number too! Found State Farm Visa to be good if you’re an insurance customer of theirs. The interest rate is 9.9% and they play no games. Sorry - I don’t know the requirements for approval. QW
