The report about the Westover Companies attempt to collect an illusory debt for the rental apartment during 5/22/2007 to 5/21/2008, which located in
1 Meadow Lane, 41 Arbour Court, Norristown, Pa. 19403
I moved in Westover Village on 05/22/2007, paid move-in rent from 05/22/2007 to 05/31/2007 $274.19 and $300 Security deposit that day, ever since then I paid monthly payment $850 every month the first day.
In the beginning of January of 2008, considered my family emergency (my sister had cancer, need to have surgery) and Chinese New year, I was planning to go back to China before Chinese new year, I had to break the lease, so I talked to Jody Pieson ( the manager of Westover Village apartments, phone 610-631-1666) and handed her a note stating I had to move as soon as I could, she told me I need give them 60 days notice before I move. I told her my sister was going to have surgery in 2 weeks, I had to leave and requested to talk with the manager of the Company, she told me she was a highest manager; then I got the mail from the Company stating I must pay 2 months rent plus 2 months penalty. That means I don't live there, I must pay another 4 monthsrent. My lease ended 5/21/2008, accordint to their "payment", it was going to end April, 2008, I couldn't afford to pay the rent without working in the state for 4 months. SO I was forced to stay and waiting for my lease ends.
I responded by another letter at the end of Feb. stating I would stay until the end of my lease. I asked the copy of my letter with her signature, she said I didn't need it as long as they knew. Because of the pressure Jody Pieson giving to me and worrying about my sister (she had two sugeries on Feb and April), I had bad car accident on 03/26/2008, almost got killed.
I moved out 04/03/2008, I told Jody they could allow another tenant to move in, I still would pay my rent until the end of lease.
05/01/2008, I returned the keys to Westover, Jody asked my address saying she was going to mail me security money. They didn't mail the security money, but I got the mail from the COmpanies Account Recivable Dep stating I owed them $3,051.61.I replied to this mail that I contest the illusory debt on 7/29. My attorney wrote the letter to them on 7/29.
Questions: 1. Jody is able to represent the Companies?
2. Was she trained to trap people to get money?
