    I have made several payment arrangements, each one has had my payment information on file, one payment is collected and then they stop taking the payment there after. Set up another payment arrangement, 1st payment goes through and then stops again. This has continued to happen each and every time. Now they want the full amount which is $600 more than originally settled on to begin with. I had a little over $900 remaining. I have emailed to be contacted several times, in the emails tell them to take the automatic payment each month as agreed upon, still no correspondence. Did make a payment online beginning of September as well as another payment agreement, $506.70 and the payment has not come out of my account as of ********* you want to garnish wages?? Emailed Friday 9/27 asking for a representative to call me, No return phone call.Called 9/30 at 7:40pm, your hours are until 8:00 central time, sat on hold for 7 min 45 seconds only to say sorry we cant take your call. I did leave a message. By the other complaints filed against this company, I clearly am not the only one who cant seem to get through.

    I was sued and a garnishment of wages was initiated by the law firm on 5/20/24. I was garnished 20% of my paycheck and have now paid approximately $1600 over the stated settlement of garnishment. I requested an email showing what was still owed and what has been received on 8-21-24. No email or letter was ever received. I contacted the local ************** who was collecting and sending the payments and they attempted to make contact about the fulfillment of the payments via fax and have stated they havent heard anything back from the law firm as well. I have emailed and called the provided number to try to get answers but none are provided.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22274568, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    I’ve attempted twice to make contact after complaint was filed via email. Finally Jason Patrick responded saying my garnishment was fulfilled but no timeline was given to return said funds and when to expect garnishment order to cease. My employer has even reached out in attempt to find out if they can cease garnishment and was told they would not talk to them. The garnishment has been well satisfied and has now been overpaid by $2000+ and still being garnished. As of 10/1/2024 I have not received any phone calls at all from rausch sturm

    Jason Wolfe

    Rausch Sturm LLC is a debt collector. They are collecting on a debt that I owe. I have been making the agreed payments on time for the last 5 months. I went to make my august payment which I pay at the end of the month. They blocked my way to pay. After 2 weeks of constant phone calls, emails, and portal messages, I never once received or was able to talk to a representative to make sure my account wouldn't go deliquent. Now the payment is passed due and Still no answers.

    The firm is stating they will contact me, but I have been attempting to reach them via phone and email repeatedly since 08/17/2024 and have received no response. I tried calling the telephone number in their response and was, again, put to a voicemail system and I left another message. I have been on disability leave from my job since Apr. 26, 2024 - I had surgery. Therefore, I have been reachable by phone and email at any time in the last 9 days.
