    My payee, Wonder ***** at A ******* Touch Payee Service, has been taking $500 which I believe I should be able to receive. She is only supposed to charge $35 a month. I noticed this started about 2 months ago. I believe she is lying about the bills she has paid, like my phone bill. She said it was $207 but when I went to Xfinity they said that my phone bill has been $27 a month for the past 6 months. She never answers the phone and rarely returns my phone calls, if she does it is day to weeks later that I receive a call if I do get one. This has been my service experience. She hasn't been managing my money well, not putting funds into savings and I feel this has been a detriment.

    Good Afternoon, The allegations of mismanaged funds are false. My fee has NEVER been *****. I do not determine the rep ********************** fee. That fee is determined by the Social Security Administration. The fee for 2019 was *****, 2020 *****, 2021 *****, 2022 ***** and for 2023 the new fee is *****. The client signed documentation when she started services and the fee was not *****. The bill in August was ****** due to using additional data. The plan called for 1 gig and an additional 14 gigs of data was used and the client was billed. The client is not reporting accurate amounts as she has both ******* Internet and ******* mobile which are billed separately. ******* is ***** monthly and ******* is supposed to be ***** monthly however that amount drastically varies monthly depending on the data the client uses. In regards to money saved,  the client received extra money in Jan, May, August, October 2022 due to there being 5 weeks in the month vs the budgeted 4. The client also received an extra ****** the month of August per her request. Any funds saved went to the extra funds received during the year, the extra money paid to ******* Mobile in August and lastly to the extra money she requested in August. The client has received documentation of all the charges for ******* and *******. I also sent a copy of the signed fee acknowledgement as well. Lastly, a detailed account of all monies received in August were sent as well. The client has changed her email address to ******************** so please send any correspondence to the new email.
