      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.

      A past debt was transferred to rausch ***** filing number ******* collection of *******. I arranged a payment plan of ****** on 11/30/24 on their online site. It was supposed to be an automated payment but apparently it was deemed only a one time payment. On 3//15/24 I received a letter from the sheriff of stutsman county demanding payment on this debt. I immediately called customer service and arranged and reset up our ****** A month payment plan for the 15th of each month. As of today i have been unable to access my account details online: I get an errror message claiming no online access due to the status of my account. I have called repeatedly asking for access and they claim it should be working but they dont know why. I refuse to pay a debt that I cannot see transparently online. I was told on march 16th it would be restored by 30 days. It has now been almost 90 days. **************** is rude and will not take responsibility to fix this. They did not even have a record of my 2nd call. I have made a total of 3 calls. I have even threatened to revoke my automatic monthly payment authorization if my online access to my account is not restored. The rep stated, thats your prerogative I am willing to pay this debt but I demand access to transparent viewing of and payment of my account online as is offered on their website and billing statements.

      My account was garnished but evidence shows that the debt collector was at fault. They failed to debit my account in July, 2022 but the funds were available. But I received no correspondence from them at that time. They continued debiting my account until the last payment in August, 2023. I requested a refund of all monies garnished minus the $275 that I know they are owed. I am not getting a satisfactory reply from.

Your company failed to execute the transaction. A simple email to me could have resolved this matter. Pure arrogance has cost me more than $275 leaving my bank account negative and my rent left unpaid. I did not receive any notification of this garnishment until 8 days later via regular mail. I am requesting a return of all monies minus the $275 which your company should have debited in July, 2022 where you can see from the statement the funds were available. ******************* The document titled "DOC011624" is what I received 8 days after the garnishment.
