      Contacted the company to settle debt outside of the court system. Had an agreement set up, paid the first. Waited for contact agreement paperwork. They never sent it after requesting it 4 times via email or via mail. They went ahead and issued a serving for court. So I refuse to pay the remaining agreement. Contacted them AGAIN, in regards to settling outside of court. They did another agreement was suppose to be mailed and emailed AGAIN. This is day 20 and still nothing. Keeping my paper trail and emails and call log recorder for court. Save your money and time, just get a lawyer, do to to court and prove the negligence on their part. Because thats what it is. People fall on hard times, and they try to take advantage of that. Even trying to pay what you owe and make things right, they still want to make a cluster of things. Dont pay them. Wait for court

      Once again Rausch Sturm LLP has filed a garnishment against me without providing documents establishing who this debt belongs to. Garnishments have been filed in multiple counties, indicating illegal practices. I am not liable for this debt, I do not have an agreement with Rausch Sturm LLP. I find it concerning that Rausch Sturm LLP is not complying with to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act,for debt collectors by the **** I believe that their actions have been unjust, causing unnecessary financial hardship and distress. I am requesting a refund of all monies ($27.04 and $50.00 fee) garnished by Rausch Sturm LLP, I did not receive any notification of this garnishment until it was mailed to me from my banking establishment. The notice is dated 6/3/2024.I am requsting Rausch Sturm LLP to Cease and Dismiss the Notice of Garnishment with my banking institution, the courts and all credit reporting agencies, by law Rausch Sturm LLP is required to provide a copy of the signed agreement showing who the debt belongs to the agreement should be more than just my name, to verify the debt pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 (b) of the ******

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      It is my legal right and I am requesting Rausch Sturm LLP to provide me a copy of the document it used to file a garnishment against me.  I am requesting the signed documents Rausch Sturm used to determine this debt belongs to me.   Without providing documents establishing who this debt belongs to Rausch Sturm is not in compliance with the law. I am not liable for this debt, I do not have an agreement with Rausch Sturm LLP.  I am requesting a refund of all monies ($27.04 and $50.00 fee) garnished by Rausch Sturm LLP, I am requesting Rausch Sturm LLP to Cease and Dismiss the Notice of Garnishment with my banking institution, the courts and all credit reporting agencies.  How can a company continue you to file a garnishment without providing proper documentation.  They want you to contact them in order to trick you into information.

      I was harassed on multiple occasions by this business, which is fine. They are creditors...they are supposed to. Eventually, they filed suit. I received the lawsuit after being served legally at my home. I signed the legally binding document after my attorney reviewed it's legitimacy. I received a copy of the filed document directly from the court. I then made my first payment on the first payment date as signed in the suit... I waited weeks and my money was never withdrawn from my bank. I went back into their system only to find that I no longer had access to make payments. My account had been completely removed. When I reached out they told me they couldn't speak to me because I said I had an attorney. I am familiar with how that works...but why would me having an attorney prevent me from being able to make payments on a lawsuit that was already filed with my county? To completely remove my ability to make payments in good faith? Why was my on-time payment not collected after being filed with the county? Having an attorney should not stop payment collection AFTER I signed and filed with the court. I can guarantee this information won't be filed with the courts and they will attempt to garnish my wages. This law firm is absolutely ridiculous. I will fight what I can in court with emails, phone records and the screenshot of the payment I made on my payment date. I want this business to either drop the lawsuit or allow me to continue to make payments.

      On 4/12/2024, I signed and sent back a packet to Rausch Sturm LLP with an agreed to payment plan of $188 initial payment and then $94 May 15th, 2024. After a few issues getting the first payment sent over to them and calling them to discuss the issue and let them know that I am trying they were working with me and we got it all sorted out. Now here in May, I was able to access the portal to make future payments and set it up to come off my checking account which I use for everything and have had no issues. I set the payment to come out on the 15th and the account portal showed that it was applied to the debt but hasn't been removed from my bank account now for over 1 week. I have the funds still sitting there for it and just recently I received a letter in the mail stating that I need to pay $188 by the 15th of may and each month after that. I have not signed any payment arrangement or documents to agree to such which is an issue. I am locked out of the payment portal for whatever reason and they haven't contacted me to explain as to why and why the $94 hasn't been taken out of my account. This isn't the first time that they have failed to contact me when there was issues and when contacting them, they don't have any other way of paying other than the portal and moneygram or making a payment right there with a debt card which takes it out right away.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I have filed a complaint with the company the last time that I spoke with a representitive in regards to this situation happening in the past where I was not alerted that a payment had failed due to their system. Also, I would like to know why my checking account or card transaction that was setup to come out was not fulfilled per their system. I am not satisfied with the result with this company's actions as this not helping matters to get this debt resolved. I will submit another complaint but I don't get any correspondance from the company as I have signed up numerous times with text and email but yet to receive anything. I am trying to pay a debt that I owe but get dinged for trying to do the right thing. The next step i will take if not being responded via email or text within 48 hours to this issue is to the state's attorney general, the ************************************ (CFPB), or the FTC.

      Old alleged debt , purchased by CAM and being serviced by Straum LLP . Have requested debt Validation and **** holder info for both parties and Nothing. Bottom of the barrel type lawyers. Has Not validated my personal info or purchase amount of my alleged debt. They did send a packet though, that contains the Real/ original creditors terms. And thanks, now I see arbitration info. Texas finance code is trumped by USC . V A L I D A T I O N . Keep being harassed by this company and it will cost them more than the alleged debt is worth!

      Also , it should be included in a correct/FCRA type validation letter request response, proof that debt wasnt Re-Aged -

      the DOFD or DOLA has been altered in favor of the creditor having more time to report/pursue the debt. And the last 4 of my social security number. A motion / Certied letter for motion to compel arbitration will be sent if necessary after this. Thank you so much.

      And they will be contacted . Just forward this first since I still await the proper response to my validation request. Please send me evidence that this account is mine.I will not accept a copy of a bill as evidence. I am asking you to send me court worthy evidence that this alleged debt i-mine, such as a contract bearing my signature.

      In absence of a signature, the debt you claim I owe is invalid. If you are unable to provide me with proof that this debt belongs to me, I am requesting that you immediately remove the account from my credit report.

      I know that you know the laws and so there's no need for me to quote what I read on the internet, because I already know you will do your due diligence and uphold the regulations set out for you in the ***** and FCRA and you will be deleting this account, but I also do want you to know that I know my rights and will be carefully recording correspondence sent to you should I need to seek legal relief.

      I had a settlement agreement set up with this company and once I made the final payment they refused and continue to refuse to mark my collections as paid on my credit report and are threatening me to pay the rest of the account. They also files a lawsuit which was dismissed in court by a judge, I have the letter to prove it.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      Its been 3 weeks since I first called this company. I have called 6x over the course of those weeks and have been told someone will reach back out and you never do, so now Im done with this. Remove the collections like you people originally told me you would.

      The burden of proof falls on the collection agency not the consumer (me) . l find it concerning that Rausch Sturm LLP collections is not complying with legal requests.
      I request Rausch Sturm LLP collection agency provide proof they sent debt validation, as is my legal right. If Rausch Sturm LLP collections cannot provide proof, I demand this account be removed from my credit report as is my right per FCRA section 623.(a)(i). This is my last request before I file a formal complaint with the **** and the FTC.
