Complaint:

Also, when my checking account was restricted on Wednesday early morning, XX/XX/2018, I called JP Morgan 's Customer Service, at XXXX, however, they won't help me as well as they strongly did NOT accept the interpreting service. With XXXX   XXXX, I tried and tried and tried to explain them about my XXXX  XXXX and to desperately need their help to save my checking account, however, they stubbornly didn't accept the interpreting service.

Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Rental debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email notification from Columbia Debt Recovery LLC, dba Genesis that this company was attempting to collect a debt they claimed I owed to a previous landlord, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CA ) in the amount of {$1100.00}. I intended to dispute this debt because I believed the amount was legally unjustified given that it was incurred only because I had failed to give 60 days notice of intention not to renew my lease. I was surprised at this initially because I had never even heard of a notice requirement anywhere close to that long and I thought the 42 days ' notice I gave was plenty. 

At any rate, I went to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's website to get some advice about how to respond and I downloaded a form letter ( the Debt Validation Letter ) with all the appropriate requirements and filled in the specifics for my situation. I printed out the letter and sent it by certified mail to the address listed for Columbia Debt Recovery in the initial email I had received on XX/XX/XXXX. I sent the certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX, which was well within the time frame outlined for a response in the email I received from Columbia Debt Recovery ( it said a response must be received by XX/XX/XXXX ) and I subsequently tracked the certified letter, which the XXXX shows was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX am. 

I never received any written response or any response that I can discern or recall at all from the debt collection agency in question. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by the credit monitoring service to which I subscribe that Genesis Credit Management reported a collection in the amount of {$1100.00}, and of course, my credit score has taken a substantial hit as a result of this. My understanding is that debt collectors are not legally permitted to report debt collections to credit agencies when they have a received a Debt Validation Letter and given that the letter I sent was delivered according to USPS and that the address to which I sent it was the address I found on the email I was originally sent for the debt collection, I do not understand why this could have legally occurred. 

I am fairly confident that what this debt collector has done is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and I want to ensure that this company is properly reprimanded, that it will not do this in the future to other consumers and that I am made whole by the harm that has been done to me because of this company 's illegal behavior. I have documentation to prove everything that I have stated occurred as I have explained. I contacted the debt collector today by phone and they claimed ignorance and asserted that I had made a mistake and that they had done nothing wrong. Needless to say, I was not happy with the interaction.
