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 I waited weeks and my money was never withdrawn from my bank.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.Business response

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.Business response

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!Customer response
05/13/2024
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.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Rausch Sturm LLP regarding their handling of a legal matter involving a debit loan payment to plaintiff ************** I believe that their actions have been unjust, causing unnecessary financial hardship and distress.Discover Bank transferred the debit amount to Rausch Sturm LLP due to financial hardship preventing me from making the payment. Subsequently, Rausch Sturm LLP obtained a garnishment order from the court and withdrew $3000 from my bank account. Since then, despite numerous attempts to communicate with Rausch Sturm LLP, I have not received any response regarding the status of my account or the possibility of settling the debt.I have made multiple calls to Rausch Sturm LLP since 01/31/2024, requesting them to credit my account with the amount collected and expressing my willingness to settle the debt. However, they have consistently ignored my inquiries and have continued to charge fees and interest on the outstanding balance, exacerbating my financial situation.This unresolved matter has had serious consequences, as it has stalled the process of purchasing a house. The mortgage company has halted the proceedings until this issue is resolved, further complicating matters for me.It is evident that Rausch Sturm LLP has failed to fulfill their obligations in a timely and professional manner. Their lack of communication and refusal to work towards a resolution have only served to exacerbate the situation and cause undue harm.Therefore, I am requesting the Better Business Bureau to intervene and investigate this matter thoroughly. I seek your assistance in ensuring that Rausch Sturm LLP addresses my concerns promptly and takes appropriate actions to rectify the situation. I also request that you take the necessary steps to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.I have attached relevant documents, including proof of payments and correspondence with Rausch Sturm LLP, for your reference. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business response

Regarding RSIEH File #******* I was court ordered to pay $1507.98 with monthly payments of $125.66 beginning January 30, 2020 with final payment of $125.72 on December 30, 2020. In the court documents dated December 9, 2019 it was stated that "Upon confirmation of Defendants completion of the above payment terms, Plaintiff shall file with the Court the appropriate satisfaction of judgment and provide Defendant(s) with a copy of said filing(s)." As of today 4/11/2024 the satisfaction of judgement has not been filed with the court. The City Clerk of court has reached out to Rausch and Sturm to receive a copy, I have reached out and my lawyer has also reached out. They are refusing to provide any of us with a copy of these documents. It is affecting my life because as a result of divorce I am required to refinance my home and put it solely in my name and have my ex-husbands name removed. Once the house is refinanced I will be able to sell it. Because I do not have a copy of this judgement on file I have had to reschedule my closing twice. I live in another state and this is affecting both my personal and work life because I am paying a mortgage on a house that I no longer live in and I am having to request time off from work for the closing dates that are scheduled only to have to cancel and reschedule due to not having this paperwork.Business response
