Collegiate Housing Services CHS BE AWARE OF COLLEGIATE HOUSING SERVICES. THEY ARE YOUR WORSE NIGHTMARE. Indianapolis Indiana

 I am also a victim of Collegiate Housing Services.In 2012 my son attended school in PA. I co signed my son's lease. I was shocked to see the conditions of the apartment my son moved in. I was completely disgusted, horrified and appalled when I saw the other two apartments my son was moved in. In 6 months he was in 3 different apartments. Every move I would get this outrageous cleaning fees. the second apartment cleaning fee was for $1, 037.00. My son only lived there for 1month an a half. I refused to make this payment. They sent pictures, and said that my son and roommates cause all those damages. They said that the same charges were applied to all the students. It means that they made $3, 111.00 just by relocating students to another apartment, and accusing them of damaging the apartment. The damages were already there when this students moved in . Then I received a letter saying that my son was been evicted from the third apartment for non payment of rent. My son's rent was paid every month by the 23th. They also added late fees in my son's account. I called several times, eventually I found out that the money I was sending to pay my son's rent was been used to pay the cleaning fees for the second apartment. At this point I was sick of CHS, I decided to find my son a more suitable place to live. Then I get a bill from CHS for the amount of $2.490.11 Reparation/maintenance, Rent charge, Late charge, another late charge, Cancellation, Lease termination, Lease termination admin fee. I called again to asked if they were out of their minds. They kindly decided to remove the late fees since I paid my rent in time every month. What?... I thought my son was been evicted for non payment of rent?. So my new bill is $2, 248.73 plus $787.06 for collection fees, making a total of $3, 035.79.
CHS has put an incredible amount of stress in my life, and my son's life. They have destroyed my credit beyond believe. I can't even get a job in government agencies that require clearance. It would be so easy to pay the money, but I refuse to let CHS continue to take advantage of innocent people. I am just a single mother trying to get my son through school. I don't have much resources. We all have to get together. Join forces and make sure CHS get the consequences they deserve. They have taking advantage of to many people already, and they continue to do it. I know in my heart all of us together can do something to stop CHS from victimizing more people.
