Company: Account Managers, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I moved into a XXXX apartment during COVID. After begging the management company to clean the carpets due to the strong foul odor, I was told that they had already been cleaned. I had to hire a professional carpet cleaning company to address the issue, but the odor persisted. The rental company refused to reimburse me and used COVID as their excuse. I still have emails from their representative in my inbox. 

When I reported that the balcony rails needed fixing to prevent potential falls, I informed them that I did not want to renew the lease. Following that, I experienced retaliation. They kept my deposit and fabricated erroneous charges against me. 

XXXX XXXX, located in XXXX, WA, is unlawfully permitting interest to accumulate on a debt that I do not rightfully owe. This ongoing issue is causing significant harm to my credit report and has unjustly hindered my ability to secure rental housing. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX  persistently submits this inaccurate debt information to the XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, exacerbating the situation and further impacting my financial standing.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
