  Berman and Rabin are working as a scam company in conjunction with ****** *******. The debt in question has been in dispute for over two years. ****** ******* filed a fraudulent lien without POA on my home. Berman and Rabin refuse to answer my calls or emails to provide the documents and proof that I am legally required to receive. They are vile people who prey on others.

  Business Response

  Date: 04/29/2025

  Berman & Rabin, P.A. received this placement and began servicing the same based on a reasonable good faith belief that the information provided by its Client was accurate.  Our investigation to date has not revealed any fraudulent liens.  Berman & Rabin, P.A. did not purchase and does not own this debt.  Berman & Rabin, P.A. objects to classification as a "scam company," or "vile people who prey on others" and disputes the same.  Berman & Rabin, P.A. further denies the alleged refusals to discuss this debt, and denies any alleged violation of the FDCPA.  Berman & Rabin, P.A. has requested debt verification materials from its Client and will timely provide the same to Complainant as required.  Berman & Rabin, P.A. will also confirm the account is marked as "disputed."  As it does not own the debt, Berman & Rabin, P.A. can not unilaterally waive fees or remove liens, but will communicate these requests to its Client.

  I am rejecting this response because: This is not a copy of all bills it does not show arbitration and furthermore the company is failing to dispute my items such as from Nebraska furniture mart I’ve been waiting on and others. I will proceed to sue the law firm with every company disputed and they can answer multiple lawsuits

  I've explained to ******* I do not have their equipment. The house I was living in while I had the equipment was full of black mold back in 2020. They continued to bill my insurance company Medicaid knowing I could not use the equipment. I am disabled and I'm tired of being harassed by this attorney group and *******.
  The ******* company here in my city has been told and came to my home. I do not have the concentrator or small concentrator. I have COPD, they questioned my medical condition. This is an incompetent company that's been sued due to over billing clients insurance company. I'm am contacting Medicaid today again, to let them know they kept billing Medicaid knowing I didn't have the equipment.
  You should be investigating ******* billing Medicaid for equipment I couldn't use, even after reporting the situation to the Billing office.
  I will be contacting my state AG.
  I'll also be filing a complaint with the BBB and my family attorney. I've seen your reviews which the harassment needs to stop.
  Stop harassing and threatening elderly people who are disabled.

  On 6/21/2024 at 2:25pm I spoke with ****** **** with Berman & Rabin, P.A. I informed them that I wanted to make payment arrangements for the debt I have with their client ********. I setup payment arrangements of $333.60 for the 1st payment on 7/1/2024 and $340 going forward that would take the payments to 6/1/2026. ****** then informed me that he would have to send me a consent to judgement form to complete. I never received the form so I called back on 6/28/2024 and spoke with ****** **** informing him I had not received the form for consent to judgement, he then stated that they had attempted to serve me at my home address and was told I did not live there. I told him I've lived there for the past 28 years so he agreed to email the form to sign and send back. Did not receive the email until 7/1/2024 after several calls. I have now signed the emailed the form back, they have taken payment on 7/1/2024, however there is still a rescheduled court date of 8/8/2024 at 9am cst in St. Louis, MO. I have not received a receipt for my payment nor have a I received a return call from ****** **** or any at Berman & Rabin. I would like return call to resolve this matter and also confirmation of the consent to judgement form that I have emailed to ****** ****.

  Let me start by saying I sent this company (Bermin and Rabin) an email but didn't get a response. This company is deploying illegal debt collectors to collect on a time barred debt. The company that they are using has called from phone numbers ###-###-#### and ###-###-####. This company has broken so many debt collection laws. For starters, they refused to identify themselves and refused to give me their company name. They then repeatedly berated me and called me racial slurs, made fun of my name and cussed me out, and threatened to sexually assault my children. They also called my family and said the same thing. This is absolutely deplorable behavior and totally unacceptable. I demand that this company stop contacting me and my family and friends. I will also report this vile behavior to other regulatory agencies and I am considering an attorney to take legal action.

  They are attempting to collect a debt for a company that refused to respond to my many attempts to contact them regarding the matter. I don't even live in the state where the debt is from anymore. The apartment complex that is trying to use BERMAN & RABIN, P.A. to collect my debt deleted all of the service requests that showed the items they are claiming should have been replaced over 6 months before my move out and have not even attempted to contact me since they hung up on me when I tried to dispute the inaccurate charges. $91.83 for a refrigerator handle that was supposed to be replaced in July 2022 and never was the maintenance worker who came in looked at the handle, took the handle said he would be back, and never did. An accumulated $125.95 on blinds that were requested to be replaced in the Winter of 2022 when they started falling off from even the slightest breeze. $13.47 for vanity bulbs that we unscrewed because they were too bright for my newborn saying they were missing but they were on the bathroom counter when we left and moved out along with $10.87 for a shower head that was also put on the counter because our tools to put it back on were packed away. $26.28 for Drip pans that we constantly had covers on because they were already destroyed when we moved in (again reported but never resolved). They are trying to charge $180 for "Heavy cleaning" and tried to tell me it's because of the dog, except I hired a cleaner and helped them clean so everything would be ready for them. I accepted the charges for the flooring as unfortunately there was damage to the carpeted area, I even accepted the charges for the partial painting. In reality, they owe me $95.34.

  Our File No.: ****** We received two debt collections letters from Berman & Rabin, P.A. dated October 23, 2023 on behalf of ********** **** ******* ***. The letter states we owe $932.54 as of July 21, 2022.
  
  This is NOT true. Check #**** in the amount of $818.00 cleared the bank June 1, 2022. Check #**** in the amount of $84.62 cleared the bank July 28, 2022. Check #**** in the amount of $114.81 cleared the bank July 28, 2022.
  
  We returned Berman & Rabin, P.A.’s collection letter with the response highlighted in yellow, “I want to dispute the debt because I think: This is not my debt. The amount is wrong. Other I want you to send me the name and address of the original creditor.” Along with the collection letter response we sent a detailed cover letter with 8 documents proving this final bill has been satisfied. The closing paragraph of the cover letter states, “Please provide a written response and documentation that this situation has been corrected including details of the amount overpaid and due us.” The cover letter and documentation were sent twice, on November 6, 2023. One package was mailed First-Class Mail. One package mailed First-Class Mail Certified/Return Receipt. No response has been received.
  
  On January 2, 2024, **** ********, Attorney at Law with *** *** (** ******** ****** ****** ********* ***** sent a demand letter to Berman & Rabin, P.A. on our behalf giving them 10 days to respond. When Berman & Rabin, P.A. did not respond, a second demand letter was sent on February 9, 2024, via “US Regular mail and Certified Mail” which Berman & Rabin, P.A. received on February 23, 2024, at 9:34 am. As of March 23, 2024, no response has been received.
  
  We are requesting the Better Business Bureau obtain a written response from Berman & Rabin, P.A. with proof that our account has a zero balance along with the postage costs of $25.98 for mailing all the documentation to rectify *********** ***** and Berman & Rabin, P.A.’s errors.

  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond. Berman and Rabin, P.A. received a written dispute from the consumer
  on November 15, 2023. After confirming with our client that this account no
  longer has a balance due, it was closed in our office December 4, 2023. Berman and
  Rabin, P.A. has not reported this account to any of the credit bureaus, but the
  dispute has been forwarded to our client.

  Business Response

  Date: 03/28/2024

  As Berman & Rabin, P.A. no longer represents the creditor concerning
  this account, and did not credit report this account, it can not comply with
  complainant’s request.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 04/04/2024

  Dear Better Business Bureau,

  We are requesting the Better Business Bureau reopen our
  complaint.

  Berman & Rabin, P.A. did not do any due diligence before
  sending collections notices on their official letter head threatening our
  Credit Report and ability to obtain credit in the future. They refuse to take
  responsibility for their error or respond in writing as they did initially.

  We have included additional documentation of the Collections
  letters sent to us by Berman & Rabin, P.A., two demand letters from *** *** dated January 2, 2024, and February 9, 2024, and receipts for postage costs of
  $25.98.

  We expect Berman & Rabin, P.A. to provide on company letterhead
  addressed to us written, detailed proof our account has a zero balance, provide
  written proof they will not attach our Credit Report and reimburse the $25.98
  postage costs.

  Thank you for your time and assistance.

  Best Regards,

  ***** *****

  I have been having issues getting someone from this company to answer the phone or return my calls. This complaint goes along with my complaint against ******* originally for the debt that I was paying to them. I received a letter from this company and began paying them, however, they stopped allowing me to pay by telling me I would have to only pay a certain person and if they were not in to leave a message. I have left numerous messages but to no avail. I am tired of attempting to pay a debt that I did not agree to with this company. I also tried to do a settlement with this company. I do not want this to end up on my credit report.
