<prompt> Human: So I see that there is a sub for renting but you guys are a bigger sub and always seem to have the answers.Anyway.. moved into my new place 4 months ago... I moved to Rancho Cucamonga in California and if anyone knows anything about Rancho, they know that all the apartments are owned by what seems to be like huge corporations...its kinda creepy actually. None the less my condo is dope. So when I signed papers, they wanted a 280 dollar application fee on top of a 3,888 move in fee ...its been four months now and theyre saying the 280 never went through... I could have sworn I watched both leave my account but I cant find the 280 in my history. I kinda feel its been so long and Im annoyed that theyre bringing this up now. I kinda want to just tell them to blow me and they can take it out of my deposit when I move out. Can they evict me? Can they put some kind of interest on this 280? Can I literally just ignore it? The past week theyve called me eight times. Its not about 280 bucks its more of just annoyance and now I feel like being stubborn. Lol. Thanks for any advice.  <response>: they wanted a 280 dollar application fee on top of a 3,888 move in feeSo you acknowledge that this was a fee you owed.and theyre saying the 280 never went through... I could have sworn I watched both leave my account but I cant find the 280 in my historyAnd you are saying you thought you paid it, because it was a fee you agreed to.I could have sworn I watched both leave my account but I cant find the 280 in my history.But you cant actually find evidence of paying a fee that you acknowledge you agreed to.Can I literally just ignore it?It seems you owe them money. How has ignoring companies you owe money to worked out for you in the past?The only thing that really stands out to me is how large this charge is, if it really is for the application. How positive are you that it was considered an application fee and not anything else? Because California has a maximum application fee of 47.72 for 2017. So if this was actually considered an application fee or screening fee, then they way overcharged and you can show them the law to let them know you wont be taken advantage of. But check what that 280 was supposed to cover in your documentation. And do not ignore this, whatever you do. Ignoring debt whether it is valid or not! is never the right solution!
