I was a tenant at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, there was a tenant that refused to stop parking infront of my garage, denying me access that I paid for every month. I reported the tenant to the management several times and the management could not seem to convince the tenant to stop parking his XXXX in a compact parking parking space behind my garage. I went to the XXXX XXXX police department to make a complaint, and the officer told me. The police department only take complaints, if there is a crime or an asualt ; that management on the on the property is supposed to provide for " Quiet Enjoyment, and Safety on their property when it is tenant related. The officer also  told me if they do not assist in your complaint you can take them to court. I went back to XXXX XXXX management told them what the police officer said and told them the officer said they could call him for verification at the XXXX XXXX police department.I then asked what they planned to do since the tenant and I had been fighting about him parking infront of my garage for at least 2 months, and that the tenant had one day met me outside at XXXX in the morning while I was trying to go to work, the tenant had repeatedly parked in the spot next to my car to harass me and the tenant had kicked my garage door leaving his foot print on the siding. I had expressed to XXXX XXXX that I felt unsafe and the tenant became more and more " Hostile each time they confronted him about parking infront of my garage and he kicked the siding after they put up signs saying only compact cars could park in that area. I found tenant parked behind my car one day after coming home from work and security was available " XXXX '' XXXX had the previous day asked the tenant not to park in that spot behind me garage but now he is parked again in that spot. XXXX told me he would notify management. I asked management what they planned to do and they said " all we can do is ask him not to park there we can't control his behavior '' I then asked what is the solution you propose XXXX XXXX said " you can move out '' " I said ok ''. XXXX then said she would check with corporate and call me back that week. XXXX called back and said " corporate said put in a 30 day notice '' which I did immediately and we agreed on the move out date and the walk thru date. I was there for 30 day and no additional terms were expressed about the move out, management and I were in agreement for the solution. I vacated the apt by the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX and I waited the 21 days required to be contacted about any additional request. I never got a call, Invoice or letter from XXXX XXXX making any demand, I left my forwarding address and telephone number, I also made 2 phone calls to XXXX XXXX to insure there were no problems. On XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by Kimball Tirey and St.John, 2 years 4 months later for collection of {$2800.00} that I had never been notified about prior to that date. The representative XXXX was rude, refused to give me any information and asked me if I had received a " Noitce from XXXX XXXX '' I stated " No '' she then began to verbally harass and threaten to ruin my credit by placing the debt on my credit report, because I told her " I don't owe them anything, I won't pay it '' and I explained to her the circumstances. The debt was placed on my report on XX/XX/XXXX 4 days before I was notified of the debt by Kimball, Tirey and St.John prior to making the demand or verifying the debt was true. 

I have never owed XXXX  XXXX any money, never been late on any rent, did not break any lease, did not receive any 21 day invoice saying I incurred any damages/ charges from the move out date of XX/XX/XXXX, I provided a forwarding mail address, and telephone number but never received any correspondence after vacating the premises.
