Consumer complaint received 12/19/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with National Credit Systems,Inc. (GA).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: We are writing this letter to your organization in regards to false information and charges by XXXX XXXX XXXX and National Credit Systems. In particular, we are incensed that this creditor is trying to export more money than is called for from the XXXX XXXX Magistrate court.. 

The collection agency and XXXX XXXX Apartments have both conspired to send false and incorrect information to the major credit bureaus. Substantiating information is described as follows : 1. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, the XXXX XXXX XXXX Court entered a Judgement on the Pleadings in the amount of {$1700.00} against the defendant ( s ). The judgement amount included court filing fees, bills due for water, a trash pick-up fee and included past due rent amount accruing from XXXX/XXXX/16 to XXXX/XXXX/16. 
2. In full compliance with the court 's order to vacate the premises, the defendants vacated the apartment on XXXX/XXXX/16 as stated in the court order. 
3. On the morning of XXXX/XXXX/16, XXXX of the defendants walked through the apartment with the apartment complex manager, XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the completion of the walk thru, the apartment complex manager provided us with a Move Out Procedures/Checklist which clearly indicated that there were no damages to the apartment at all. The apartment was left completely clean and in the same clean state as on the day that they moved in, XXXX/XXXX/16. 
4. Sometime after XXXX/XXXX/16, the defendants received a move out statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Charges on this statement {$4500.00} which is {$2700.00} more that the court ordered amount of {$1700.00}. 
5. The XXXX XXXX XXXX move out statement shows charges that are false and misleading. As described previously, our move out date was on XXXX/XXXX/16, with the apartment being inspected on XXXX/XXXX/16. The move out statement from XXXX XXXX shows charges which are not listed on the XXXX/XXXX/16 magistrate court order. 
6. The XXXX Move Out Statement shows rent for the entire month of XXXX 2016 which is in conflict with the court judgement ordering rental charges through XXXX/XXXX/16 only and not for the entire month of XXXX 2016. 
7. The XXXX/XXXX/16 XXXX XXXX XXXX Move Out Procedures/Checklist also shows that there were no damages to the apartment at the walk-thru with the apartment rental manager. This document is in conflict with the {$2000.00} for stipulated damages for the XXXX/XXXX/16 date as listed on the move out statement. 

Any and all additional charges that are not on the magistrate court order and especially for any charges on dates such as XXXX/XXXX/16, XXXX/XXXX/16, and XXXX/XXXX/16 are illegal and indicate the submission of false information for the collection of funds which are in excess of the amount stipulated in a court order. 

We mailed documentation to XXXX via certified mail on XXXX/XXXX/16 and have not received any response back from them at all.
