Product: Other debt

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: I received a notice of debt at my old address/XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( although XXXX XXXX is aware of my forwarding address ). I did not received anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting payment or advising of expenses or any debt owed. There was no claim to keep my security deposit at any time. NO debt is owed, as I paid timely, in full, and honored the terms of our agreement ( which XXXX XXXX XXXX violated ), in addition to illegally containing or withholding my security deposit. There were verbal and e-mail communications advising that I could terminate the lease. The apartment was literally placed in BETTER THAN move-in condition prior to leaving, and I vacated when the landlord asked that I vacate so she could ‘return my deposit and show the unit ‘. This erroneous debt was placed in collections LESS THAN a week later … with 4.75 % interest. The collection agency reported to my credit after being informed by an attorney that the debt was not verified. XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX XXXX/ Hunter Warfield collect LOTS of fees for this invalid, unsubstantiated, immoral, and illegal process and I want to make sure it does not continue.
