Complaint narrative:
I moved out of the XXXXXXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I received an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX that I had an outstanding balance due. I emailed back the same day, no response. I called the next day and was told that the balance included a {$150.00} charge for damaged flooring. I instructed the billing department rep that I had photos of multiple areas of damage to the flooring that was evident upon move-in and was instructed to email again, attach the photos, and that they would forward the photos and details to the local management office. I was also told that the billing department would be responsible for all communications in-between since I was no longer a resident at the property. I then attempted to follow up on the outstanding charge on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and never received a single response. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from a 3rd party collections agency stating that I owed the same balance against the same account. I called the XXXX billing department that same day and was told that they no longer had possession of the account, there was nothing they could do, and that I would need to contact the local property management office in order to have the account retracted and deleted, as it had already been reported to my credit causing an almost XXXX point drop to my credit score. I called the local property management office the same day, left a voicemail, and got no response. I then emailed the corporate XXXX office XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX trying to identify who could assist with this issue. Finally I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX from the new property manager at the XXXX XXXX, who told me she had no capability to retract the collections account, had no authority to resolve the issue, and had no other contact at the corporate office who had the power to do so. I was advised by her to file a complaint with the CFPB, including copies of my attempts to contact the billing department with XXXX response, in addition to disputing the charge with the credit bureaus. I have attached emails that include my multiple attempts to reach the billing department for a response, the photos that show multiple areas of damage to the carpets from the day I moved in, a copy of my phone bill showing my initial call to the billing department the day after I received the initial balance, the email I received from the collections agency, and the following day when the account hit my credit with the negative affect. I still dispute that I do not owe the full amount on the outstanding balance and the local property manager was not able to provide any resolution other than recommending I file complaints/disputes to resolve the account.
