State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Please actually read this message and understand something. I have made complaints and disputes and gotten nowhere. TransUnion sided with the debt collection company. I had a debt for {$920.00} for rental arrears. I applied for New York XXXX XXXX program. I was approved in the end of XXXX this year. The original debt was from XXXX. The apartment complex where I was living was bought out by a different company. I called the apartment complex and they said the debt is not owed to them but to the previous company. I have called and called the prior property management company. I have left messages. Emails for months. They dont respond. There is absolutely no way for me to get in touch with them to have the debt eradicated. Yet this debt collector keeps bringing up old papers saying the debt is still valid. The stuff they are showing me is dated. They bought the debt from another debt collector who refuses to give me any information at all. Furthermore through this New York XXXX XXXX program this debt is illegal. The landlord has 6 months to respond and if they dont then legally they must waive the debt. I will attach evidence.
