Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I moved into an apartment complex in XXXX NC, called XXXX XXXX in XXXX, that was managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, They also owned XXXX XXXX XXXX ( located in XXXX NC ) to which I moved in XXXX. Because they were managed by the same management company, I was able to transfer my lease and deposit to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I lived in XXXX XXXX from XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. In early XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the apartment complex to XXXX XXXX. When I moved out in XXXX, I had a walk through scheduled with XXXX XXXX but the moving company came earlier than expected and I did not do the final walk through, even though I went to the office and requested an earlier walk through, they had no one to do it at that time. XXXX XXXX had my email address, phone number, and forwarding address, in case I owed any charges after moving out. I was told they would send me an invoice for any charges if there were any. From XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, I checked the resident portal to see if there were any charges, I did not see any, and I also did not receive any mail correspondence at my new address. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by email that my credit report had changed because of something derogatory hitting my credit. When I looked, it was a credit collection agency. I telephoned Genesis in XXXX, and they sent me an invoice with just the amount of {$230.00} on it from XXXX XXXX, for some cleaning they had to do in the apartment. I knew that wasn't correct because it didn't have my {$250.00} deposit listed on the invoice anywhere. I disputed it through XXXX since that was the credit bureau it was listed on, and it was taken off my credit report. On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a text from Genesis the same collection agency that put the derogatory mark on my XXXX credit report. I called Genesis on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX to request a validation of debt ( didn't know that's what I did the first time ) and they refused to send me any thing. They said since they sent me the invoice in XXXX, they would not send another one. I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they still had my paid invoice with my {$250.00} deposit where I moved into XXXX XXXX and then transferred to XXXX XXXX, and sent it to me today. I want Genesis to know that they have an incorrect invoice amount because my {$250.00} deposit was not added to the invoice, which would mean that I owe nothing for moving out of XXXX XXXX. In reality they XXXX XXXX owes me {$12.00} back from my deposit.

Complaint narrative:
This constitutes a breach of 15 US Code 1681s-2, which outlines the obligations of entities supplying information to consumer reporting agencies. They have neglected to furnish me with written notice regarding the account before its inclusion in a report. Consequently, I insist that the account be expunged from my credit report due to my disagreement with the alleged debt. 

Furthermore, they have transgressed my rights as delineated in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which details permissible purposes for consumer reports. By reporting the account without my consent and misusing my social security information, they have run afoul of this code. Hence, as a victim of identity theft, the imperative of 15 US Code 1681c-2 is to block such data unless I provide explicit written authorization. 

Per 15 US Code 1681a ( 4 ), consumer reporting agencies are bound to uphold my right to privacy. Regrettably, your organization has breached this consumer privacy right by publicly divulging this information without my authorization. 

I urgently request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report.
