Dear Audience since I'm being pursued by Howvel & Associates I'm sharing my nightmarish experience…read moreas a previous tenant of Beal Properties. Beal uses this legal debt collection group to come after tenants for so called fines if you leave furniture behind in your unit. I had an oral agreement with Beal properties that I would be paying $1500 to satisfy my debt and that I would not be renewing my lease because of their insane rent price hikes and price gauging tactics. I'm currently suffering from migraines and nausea due to black mold exposure from apt. 408 at 635 W Barry Avenue in Lakeview. I'm physically ill so I'm posting this review to clear my name and warn others. I made the mistake of taking over a sublease at 635 W. Barry apartment 408 17 months ago. Both my pets and I were exposed to black mold and flooding that took place at the property. I decided against renewing my lease and paid Beal Properties $1500 and had an oral agreement that that would suffice. The previous tenant left his belongings behind and there was no elevator in my building so I was unable to find anyway to lug a mattress etc down a very dangerous fire escape. Beal hired these debt collectors to come after me because I left behind pieces that I could not physically carry since I'd have to climb six flights of stairs. This particular company represents Beal properties and if you do your research for yourself you will see the numerous building code violations that Beal properties commits which include toxic black mold, rats and other vermin not to mention flooding in the laundry room. These people just sent me threats stating I owe them money and they will soon be reporting me to all the credit bureaus so I will soon do what I need to do and countersue since my health has been affected by the longterm affects of black mold exposure. Protect yourself from predators who defend slumlords. Pamela Bailey has been calling me non stop emailing me non stop but what she fails to realize is Beal properties who she is representing is rated very low on yelp and Google and there's even a website for ex Tenants to file complaints. My friend who helped me move suffers from asthma and he was rushed into the ER the next day because he's very sensitive to mold. After the doctors conducted tests on him they found evidence that he was exposed to black mold. Pamela Bailey doesn't mind representing predators like Beal properties. Everything I'm sharing here is 100% true down to the oral agreement I shared with Beal properties. I will not allow this company to harm my credit score without fighting back. Black mold is an extremely dangerous toxin to have in your apartment building and exposure to black mold leads to organ failure and cancer.

I reached out via Yelp and we communicated mostly through email. I was given web forms to pay via credit card for the deposit and final transaction. We did most of the will creation over email, I was sent a form to complete then scan, and email back. For the final will creation, I had to visit the office in person and sign, along with Erwin's team. In all, it was a pretty realistic transaction for the creation of a will. Granted my will is not complex, so I cannot speak for someone with a lot of requirements, but Erwin Law did a great job for a basic will.
