Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided
Consumer Complaint: Fair Collections and Outsourcing is reporting that I have an outstanding debt owed to an apartment community for {$7500.00}. I acknowledge that I do have a liability with the apartment community, but I strongly disagree that it is {$7500.00}. I have requested a detailed itemization of the charges from the collection agent on multiple times, but they will not provide this information. I feel as though they are withholding this information, because they can not justify the collection amount they are reporting.

State/Zip: NC 276XX
Company Response to Complaint: Closed with explanation
Was Company Response Timely: Yes
Did Consumer Dispute Company Response: N/A
