Complaint What Happened In XX/XX/XXXX, I signed a XXXX-year lease for a residential property in XXXX, Florida. This property was leased directly from the property owner. Shortly after, the owner turned the management of the property to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I ended the lease after 9 months because I purchased a home. Upon termination, I returned the property back to the management company according to the lease agreement. However, the management company charged me for things not required under the original lease agreement. These charges included professional carpet cleaning and professional house cleaning. I also provided photo evidence of the propertys post-move-out condition and disputed the charges. The management company refused to correct the charges. The total amount in dispute is {$850.00}. This account was eventually turned over to a collection company. The collection company is Southwest Recovery Services. Over the past 2 years, I have contacted the collection agency and disputed the charges with evidence to no avail. My last written correspondence was on XX/XX/XXXX. I have also disputed the charge directly with XXXX. This too was unsuccessful.

Complaint What Happened My business ( XXXX or XXXX XXXX ) closed over 2 years ago. When we closed it, all debts were paid ( not a bankruptcy ) and every company we contacted was told to close any accounts and we confirmed XXXX balances. XXXX XXXX was the credit card processor and they confirmed the account was closed with XXXX balance. About a year later, I noticed Southwest Recovery Services out of XXXX Texas had an approximately {$300.00} debt owed and late payments on my personal credit report for the entire year. I contacted them and XXXX XXXX and neither could provide proof of debt. My dispute through XXXX yielded the same result - no evidence of debt. After months of trying to get proof of business debt for a closed business, and repeated calls ( many were never responded to ), I still have been able to get proof of debt. Today, I finally reached someone at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( credit card processor ). The first person there said the account wasnt closed properly on their end and they were charging over {$50.00} per month fee even though the account was not being used and they confirmed XXXX transactions for 2 years. They then transferred me within their company and they said they shoed the account as closed and turned over to Southwest Recovery Services collection agency and had no proof of the {$300.00} debt or any additional debt. Therefore, XXXX XXXX is clueless within their own organization on the closure of the account for my closed business and they cant prove the debt because they sold it to Southwest Recovery. Southwest Recovery cant prove the {$300.00} or any debt because they rely on backup evidence from XXXX XXXX which they dont proof of either. Somewhere in the middle is a mysterious company called XXXX XXXX XXXX that also shows up. Since this account was closed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX balance and none of these companies have proof of the debt ( as well as this was tied to a closd XXXX XXXX from over 2 years ago ), this should be removed from my credit report, all late payments and debts should be immediately removed from all my personal credit report, and they should mail confirmation of these actions and no debt owed. Thank you for helping stop this fraudulent extortion being performed by these unscrupulous companies. How many more victims out there? Seems like a shell game that warrants a class action lawsuit ...

Complaint What Happened I leased a house rental property lease dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 and I terminated early because I lost my job and had to relocate for a new XXXX. Although not a reason to justify early termination, Under Texas XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), " if you do n't have a legal justification to break your lease, your landlord must make reasonable efforts to re-rent your unit -- no matter what your reason for leaving -- rather than charge you for the total remaining rent due under the lease. You need pay only the amount of rent the landlord loses because you moved out early. This is because Texas requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimum -- or to " mitigate damages '' in legal terms. '' I moved out on XXXX XXXX, 2016 but paid rent for XXXX 2016 ( through XXXX/XXXX/2016 ). I notified the property management firm on XXXX XXXX, 2016 that I vacated the property and to please re-lease it. The property was listed for rent by the property management firm on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and was successfully leased beginning XXXX XXXX, 2016. I should not owe any rent money for breaking the lease since it was rented immediately and there was no loss of income. Since the property management firm re-leased the property immediately, all I would be responsible for is the amount of time the unit was vacant, which was already paid by me when I paid XXXX rent. Now I have a collection agency trying to collect a debt of {$16000.00} which in my calculations is the remainder of the lease.

Complaint What Happened I am writing to bring to your attention the presence of a fraudulent XXXX credit card account and a XXXX XXXX on my credit report. These unauthorized activities have been falsely associated with my name, and I kindly request their immediate removal from my credit history. Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that a XXXX credit card account has been opened under my name without my knowledge or consent. This account does not belong to me, and its presence inaccurately reflects my financial status. Additionally, I have found that a rental property has been rented using my name fraudulently. I have no affiliation with this property and it has been wrongfully associated with my credit profile. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into these fraudulent instances and take the necessary steps to remove them from my credit report. The inclusion of these fraudulent items is not only damaging my financial standing but also has the potential to hinder my future financial opportunities. Enclosed with this letter, you will find supporting documentation, including relevant police reports and any additional evidence to assist in your investigation. I am fully committed to cooperating and providing any further information or documentation required. I sincerely appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and request that you keep me informed of the progress and actions taken to address this issue. Thank you for your prompt assistance in rectifying this situation and ensuring the accuracy of my credit report. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint What Happened They are falsely claiming damages above normal wear and tear ( i.e. range pans, light bulbs, blinds over, sink sprayer over 10 years old, paint, etc.. ) when the home was occupied for a 4 year time frame. Each inspection I advised and had inspector record the following complaints : dishwasher never worked, request to replace/clean carpet, request to fix closet doors and shelving. The keys were returned. The tenant was unable to get in contact with XXXX XXXX- property manager because she had quit and no new property manager was assigned as end of lease was approaching.So there was no one to notify that I was moving which is why there was no eviction or lawsuit filed. There was no one to do a walk thru with me. They just sent this letter saying I owed. When I received the letter I called the new property manager and she said that many people fell thru the cracks when the property manager changed hands.

Complaint What Happened I submitted certified and notarized documents to each company via USPS mail. These companies are replying back that that have not received proof but some one from each company has signed off of the documents that were delivered. I have also filed previous complaints against these companies. I have uploaded documents to this website the same documents that were sent to each company as proof of the accounts not belonging to me. These companies have not sent out any verification in any form as proof that these accounts are mines. I am proceeding these matters further in civil court if not removed in 14 days.

The representative became very rude and told me I owe this money and need to pay. I ask him how can they verify it was my loan, rep then stated it was verify by e-mail and a bank account that was closed due to fraud. I did ask them to send me something in writing that's valid I took this loan out, the representative refuse and told me to dispute it with XXXX and XXXX. Advised him I will then he stated even if I do he will verify it was me so I have to pay something that doesn't belong to me. This company is a third party collections agency trying to collect money that isn't owe. He stated he was taken out online which anyone can do. They are very rude and disrespectful representative. I am a single mom who doesn't deserve this. There is no factual proof that I took out this loan and they couldn't provide any. The representative also advised they will take me to jail if I didn't pay. This is against Fair regulation Act. I never took out a loan and there is no solid proof, the bank account they're referring to was close for fraud which I told the representative that.
