    Van Metre Companies owes me $187.82 (plus interest). There are two attached documents: the first is a screenshot of an email chain in which a Van Metre Companies representative confirmed I am to be owed a credit of $187.82 as of the termination of my lease agreement and returned reimbursement form. This email confirmation is time stamped at Aug 3, 2022 at 1:12 PM. The second attachment is my returned & completed reimbursement form which was delivered to multiple Van Metre Companies representatives via email (dated Oct 29, 2022 at 4:18 PM). It has been over 9 months since the reimbursement form was delivered to Van Metre Companies. I've since sent multiple inquiries to multiple Van Metre Companies employees and I have still not been sent this money via check as promised in the terms of my lease agreement and by the Van Metre Reimbursement Agreement. In accordance with Chapter 3 of District of Columbia Housing Regulations, I demand interest for this debt at standard rate of 10% (monthly compounding), bringing the total amount owed to me as of August 8, 2023 to $202.84. I also hereby notify Van Metre Companies that interest will continue accruing on this debt each day until I am sent this payment plus the correctly calculated interest via check to the address listed in the reimbursement form.

    On September 1, I received a voicemail from a Vanmetre representative regarding my complaint. The representative instructed me to call him back. I called the number provided in the voicemail today (Sep 6th). A different Vanmetre representative answered my call and took down my information. I told them that I'd like VanMetre please email me at ******************** with information about their resolution.

    VanMetre successfully resolved my complaint and I would like to reflect that on this complaint record.
