XXXX and XXXX both closed accounts reporting on my consumer report are in violation, any credit transactions account is supposed to be excluded from a consumer credit report, if the consumer 's social security number was used in the transaction. Please be aware that all negative remarks found on my consumer report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when you can not furnish the validity remark. Every time I submit a complaint with any of the credit reporting agencies they all send the same automated messages. It seems there is not a real-life person responding back to the disputes but a AI generated system that chooses how to respond, despite it being a violation of my rights as a natural living breathing woman, According to the Dair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 states, " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibility with fairness, impartiality and a respect for the consumer 's rights to privacy.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis (CA)

I verbalized the dispute over the phone on the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX and sent notice of the dispute to Genesis, XXXX, as well as the district on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. 

Regardless of the dispute, Genesis ( 2 months later without acknowledging the dispute ), still reported negative information on my credit report in an attempt to still try to collect. Genesis also failed to tell/notify any of the credit reporting companies who they reported my debt to, that I disputed the debt. 

I requested proof/receipt as well as an itemized list of discrepancies. 

My son moved out of the apartment ( District on 5th ) in XXXX of XXXX with a XXXX balance. A moveout inspection was submitted the XXXX of XXXX no acknowledgement, but noted on the final statement. On XX/XX/XXXX ( a year later and after residents had already leased and moved out of the residence ) we received an inaccurate/false statement of damages sent by the apartment complex. False statement, because there were no receipts and the statement had pictures of my son and his roommates pointing to damages when they moved in. 

I contacted the apartment that day to point out the issues because it was mentioned that it may have been a mistake and the bill/statement was meant for the tenants who moved in afterwards ( which still made no sense ), as this was over the 60 day time frame Arizona law requires. 

The damages from the pictures attached to the statement, were left from the previous tenant and the complex was never professionally cleaned. We have receipts from the XXXX exchange of all the cleaning supplies we had to purchase. 

There were multiple rooms, but not my son 's room. Also, every roommate recieved the same charges to the same room, despite renting different rooms. 

I requested ( 3 different times ) an itemized receipt for the damages noted.

1. the conditions were pre-existing to our tenancy.

2. The claims are untrue or invalid, for a variety of applicable reasons.

3. The charges, although based on actual damages, are excessive, 4. The claims are unclear because they are vague, not itemized.

5. The damages reflect normal wear and tear.

To make matters worse, Genesis sent a misrepresented and false statement/validation note last week ( outside of the 5 days after first contact ). The statement received in the mail last week, excludes the " comments '' which depicts pictures of my son pointing to discrepancies when he moved into the apartment, showing direct proof that Genesis knowingly and maliciously altered the statement to make it seem as if these fabricated charges were true. As a debt collector Genesis knowingly used false, deceptive, and misleading representation or means to collect or attempt to collect a debt by falsifying the statement.
