Leslie, First of all, please properly identify the offender. There is no company named RPM Sprint. Sprint is the phone company, and RPM is the collection agency. Second, if in fact you NEVER gave them permission to draw money from your account, then they have engaged in LARCENY, which is a felony. If this is actually the case, you need to go to your local police dept and file a theft report, then take that to your bank and file a claim. The FDIC insures your account against theft. Now, here's what I see that happened as I am familiar with these creeps. You made a check by phone authorization, and they took more than you agreed on, right? If this is the case you can still dispute the transaction. And with the police report, the bank will usually reverse OD charges. CHANGE your phone#. NEVER speak to a collector on the phone!! Go to FTC.gov and file complaints for the illegal and abusive collection methods. These are outlined in the FDCPA on the FTC site. Read it and print it out. Then go to BudHibbs.com and read all about collectors and how to deal with them, and post your experience there too. But, you have to calm down and be rational to get anything done. Focus. Learn. Act. Good luck.
