Company: Roosen, Varchetti & Olivier, PLLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On approximately XX/XX/year>, My daughter received a check from RVO Law due to an overpayment of a prior debt. Shortly after, she received a Certificate of Satisfied Account, dated XX/XX/year>. Unfortunately, my daughter passed away on XX/XX/year>. So, I contacted RVO Law to notify them of the same on XX/XX/year>. I spoke with an agent whose name I will disclose as directed. She, however, instructed me to email a copy of my daughter 's death certificate and a letter noting that I have authority to act on my daughter 's behalf. I immediately submitted the information on the same date. 

I waited for approximately 2 weeks before I called to inquire about the reissuance. I spoke with a different agent and was told that it has to be reviewed and approved before reissuance could take place. He stated that he would contact me once this was done. 
I waited until late XXXX and called again. I was given another excuse and told that the manager would be in contact with me. Another 3 weeks passed and still no call. So ... I called yet again. This time I was able to Speak with the original young lady who asked that I submit the documents. She told me that she was processing the reissuance while we were on the phone and that the check would be processed and mailed on that date. Well... I waited a few more weeks and nothing. So, I called again in mid XXXX, 2024. I was told that they are still reviewing the claim. Finally, I called on XX/XX/year>. I spoke with the original person again. She told me that she was unable to access my daughter 's account and that she had to transfer me to someone else. When I was transferred the new person he said that he was unable to discuss the account. I asked if he just couldn't discuss the account or was it that he could not discuss it with me. His respond was I can't say why. I asked why, and he repeated the same. 

I am filing this complaint because I really need a resolve. This has been very trying for me as I am currently grieving and trying to get my late daughter 's affairs in order. She has XXXX children whom I have custody of a well. I would truly appreciate any help with this situation. 

I am attaching the paperwork and evidence that have to substantiate my claim. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I had to call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to get an answer. They told me my name XXXX XXXX XXXX brought up multiple people with other social security cards numbers and having part or whole my name. I was told I had many different social security cards. I don't but just using a very common name such as mine would bring up that results. I asked what do they need to fix this. The reply I got was a letter specifically stating from the Social Security office that I only have one social security number. Plus copies of my driver license SS Card, voting registration, and or any other proof of my identity. I have had the Home Depot card for over 25 years it was issued in my husbands name and my name. I put a full application with my husbands info to them and was approved. My husband died 3 years ago and I notified Home depot a month after his death and inquired if my card was still good to use. I was told that they had both me and my husband info and there is no problem with his death my card remained in good standing. I never use the Home Depot card except for large appliances, as is the case at this time. I can give them all my ID info but the Social Security office can respond to making a letter such as Citi requested. I wrote them they told me to open an account and do it myself. There is nothing in the account I open with the SS office that allows me to do this. Or request it done by them. I feel more than just slighted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the past 35 years and being treated in this manner is wrong.
