Consumer complaint received 08-04-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC. (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: XXXX credit bureaus are reporting inaccurate home repair debt information from XXXX XXXX XXXX and Fair Collections & Outsourcing who are not able to show evidence or proof of this reported debt. Their letters to me claim to have " verified '' the debt but this is not true under the law. I sent certified letters to all XXXX reporting agencies that showed the creditor has no record of ever communicating a debt to me. 
In response to my request for validation of a debt, XXXX XXXX XXXX and Fair Collections & Outsourcing mailed me an illicit and unsigned move-out sheet with fraudulent home repair charges they are using as their supposed evidence that I owe any debt. 

The company failed to provide the following information : Certified communication notifying me of the debt Signed agreement between myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX or Fair Collections & Outsourcing validating this debt Payments I made toward any original debt and my agreement to pay someone this sum of money Communication to me indicating damages made by myself to the home Statements of accounts or receipts that show contractor payments toward home repair as a result of my negligenceI submitted documentation to the reporting agencies and the creditor that shows XXXX XXXX XXXX is responsible for the repairs listed on the move-out sheet that they are in fact dishonestly charging me. This documentation included:1. An inspection ticket by a XXXX XXXX, TX city inspector showing inadequate home repairs. 
2. A certified letter from me to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( dated XXXX XXXX, 2014 ) listing all existing repairs the home needed upon my taking residence. The items listed are various items that XXXX XXXX XXXX shows on the invalid move-out sheet used to charge me this debt. 
3. A certified receipt ( dated XXXX XXXX, 2014 ) showing XXXX XXXX XXXX ' receipt of my certified letter. 

This creditor has several complaints filed against them with the XXXX with other tenants who are victims to their dishonest actions. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not adequately maintain the home in question and has now made unmerited accusations and reported false information to the credit bureau. The repairs listed on the move-out sheet mailed to me are the same repairs I notified XXXX XXXX XXXX via certified letter that needed repairing. I have a copy of this letter ( that shows the detailed list of repairs ) and a copy of the returned certified receipt that shows they signed and acknowledged my request for them to make repairs on the home. I also have copies of the move-out sheet the debtor sent to the credit bureau as proof of a debt, This move-out sheet is not signed or validated and lists the items that I informed XXXX XXXX of via certified letter notifying them that they were responsible for them. 
After I vacated the home, the repairs had not been completed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and now the company is charging me for repairs that existed before I took residence of the home.
