Company: Rent Recovery Solutions
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Rent Recovery Solutions, LLC ( File No : XXXX ) is trying to collect a dept on behalf of XXXX XXXX, TX. My daughter was going to share an apartment with a friend several years ago and listed me as a co-signer. I received XXXX prior to her moving in, and she chose to move with me. She talked to the manager at the time and gave them a copy of my orders and also found another person to replace her as a leasee. The manager appreciated us doing that and told us that it was taken care of and there were no issues - issue closed. Several years later, they are saying that we owe them money for rent. We never heard from them in the interim years, and have moved a few times since then. When I asked them how they could even consider charging us for rent when we found another person to live in the apartment, they said they just decided to charge us for a different room without telling us. The new manager from the XXXX emailed me when I called her to complain and said she would look to find the lease and related paperwork and keep me in the loop on the status, but that was several months ago and I have no indication that they ever found any paperwork. They have now reported this to the credit companies and this has negatively impacted my credit right before I 'm closing on a mortgage - and could cost me thousands of dollars. Still, I 'm not going to pay something that I do n't owe. It does n't seem legal to try and collect on something that was never owed, especially after waiting several years to say that we owe money.

Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been in review with Rushmore for over 1 year trying to get my mortgage modified. We are currently assigned to XXXX XXXX, who has been nothing but combative and rude throughout the entire process. I am asking for our representative to be changed immediately, as she is nothing but degrading and very snide to my advisors as well. She has done nothing to help us but only harm the process. As I have stated, we have been in review for almost 1 year. We even told Rushmore that we have {$10000.00} to put toward a down payment on a modification, still they drag their feet. We have sent the same documents over and over. I think it 's because they just do n't like us and are trying to stall to sell our house. What happened most recently was that they put a sale date on our house for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX even though we are still in a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy that is not discharged. Not knowing the laws and not knowing we are still protected. My huband filed a Chapter XXXX in his own name on XXXX, a day before the sale, which was upheld by the Bankruptcy court as valid. Just last week, XXXX, Rushmore 's attorney, XXXX, tried to file something to overturn our bankruptcy based on a document he filed in XXXX. The bankruptcy judge overturned his filing ( attached ) and said there will be a hearing on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to give us time to respond. I am currently talking to my atttorney to file a response to let the court know how hard we have been fighting Rushmore to keep our house. We have been assigned to people who refuse to help us. The letter from the bankruptcy judge who overturned XXXX 's filing has been on file and emailed to all involved ( Rushmore and XXXX ) on XXXX. It is now XXXX and Rushmore states that there are no new developments and they have to wait for instruction from XXXX 's office. Every day they wait is a day closer to me losing my home. They have this letter in their possession and they are still not trying to move forward. My advocate XXXX has called XXXX, who now conveniently does n't answer the phone, as well as her supervisor XXXX, who has not called him or us back for now another 2 days. I have been on the line as XXXX has left messages. I need help moving this forward, nobody at Rushmore has helped in the slightest, all they have done is talk down to us, ignore us, and ask for the same documents over and over. I further give my permission to talk to XXXX XXXX and/or XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX, they are working hard on my behalf but have also just been disregarded by Rushmore. I am also putting my authorization in writing ( attached ).

Company: Nationwide Credit & Collection, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I had a medical procedure completed at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IL ( part of XXXX and recently acquired by XXXX XXXX ). At the time I had the procedure done, I thought I had insurance. Since I had not received a bill from the hospital, I did not know there was anything still outstanding. 

In XX/XX/XXXX ( over 2 years later ), XXXX sent me a bill for the first time stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) had paid the bill, then took the money back on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I immediately called XXXX and filled a hardship application, which was approved for 100 % financial assistance on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I also filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Insurance ( IDOI ) against XXXX. My claim against XXXX was reviewed, and they repaid the insurance portion on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX to inform them that my efforts had resulted in them recouping the {$4400.00} back from XXXX. XXXX XXXX acknowledged that they received the XXXX payment. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX issued me an invoice for the 20 % co-pay that XXXX did not cover {$240.00}, even though the entire amount of {$4700.00} had previously been written off. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from Nationwide Credit and Collections for the same {$240.00} - even though I have a written letter from XXXX XXXX stating that I owed nothing. The financial assistance letter states it is good for XXXX months, so clearly it is still in force. In addition, my account was sent to collections apparently the same day I was sent the invoice ; and I was never even given an opportunity to resolve the issue with XXXX XXXX before they sent my account to collections. 

Also on XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to contact a manager at XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX, because clearly there is a procedural problem with their billing department. When I called the billing number XXXX, I was told that I could not have that information. I have tried searching online for the information and there is no clear way to contact anyone at the executive level to bring this to their attention.
