XXXX XXXX  ( part of XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) assessed my tenant account charges XXXX : {$570.00}. A credit of {$300.00} was wiped out and left a total due XXXX : {$270.00}. 

They attempted to charge {$570.00} in cleaning-related fees that I never agreed to pay in advance of the charges being assessed for the following : - Carpet Scrub - Carpet Cleaning - XXXX XXXX - Stain Removal - Rent Responsible ( XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ) The charges consist of rental fees in the last month due XXXX : {$250.00} for rent responsibility from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I had already paid a final month 's rental payment XXXX : {$1500.00}, which includes XX/XX/XXXX days of rent XXXX : {$1300.00} ( XX/XX/XXXX days X XXXX rental charges ). {$160.00} of that was put towards sewer, water, and trash for the final month of occupancy. 

This would result in a corrected balance due of {$15.00} ( had they calculated the charges correctly ). 

Looking at the last lease agreement signed with XXXX XXXX, prior to myself becoming a month-to-month tenant, I am in no way responsible for paying for " normal wear-and-tear '' items upon move-out. I am only responsible for damage and repair costs, for which there are none. 

The corrected amount should result in a check due back to me XXXX : {$300.00} from XXXX XXXX, with the apartment being responsible for the renovation charges they incurred on their own apartment upon my move-out. 

XXXX XXXX did not agree to this when I made them aware of the error and instead of listening, they sold the invalid debt to a collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), who again did not listen to my complaint in regards to the error. 

The debt collection agency filed a derogatory collection remark on my credit report to all three bureaus instead of listening. And now my credit history is impacted, causing me to be unable to obtain a mortgage out-of-state, refinance my car, or rent a XXXX apartment within the state. 

I filed a dispute within all three credit reporting bureaus along with a complaint against the debt collection agency ( Complaint ID : XXXX ) and my remarks were ignored by the credit reporting bureaus, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and also the debt collection agency. 

Please review the attached documents which show everything in writing : - Bank Statement showing final rent payment - Final statement of charges - The entire final lease agreement before becoming a month-to-month tenant - Snippet of section XXXX of the lease agreement showing charges upon move-out that are not valid
