Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a collection account with Property Receivables , Corp for a rental property. This debt is invalid and inaccurate and should be removed immediately pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C. 1681. The alleged debt stems from a security deposit dispute with XXXX XXXX where my I terminated my lease on XX/XX/year>. 

Under Georgia law ( O.C.G.A 44-7-33 ), a landlord or property management company is required to : 1. Conduct a move-out inspection within three business days of the tenant vacating the premises 2. Provide the tenant with a written, itemized list of damages and estimated repair costs 3. The tenant has the right to inspect that list and property within 5 business days after the move-out inspection 4. If the property management doesn't comply with the inspection and damage list requirements in the legal time frame, that forfeits the property management 's right to withhold any of the security deposit. ( O.C.G.A 44-7-34 ) The property management failed to provide an itemized list of damages and within three business days of me vacating the premises and because of this my security deposit was wrongfully detained. This constitutes a violation of the Georgia landlord-tenant law. I released position of the property on XX/XX/year> and I did not receive an itemized list until XX/XX/year> via email after I requested it due to me receiving emails requesting payment of a balance. Due to this statutory violation, the property management company forfeited any legal right to retain the deposit or claim additional charges. 

I should have received an itemized list of charges by XX/XX/year>. 

The only notice I received during the month of XX/XX/year> from XXXX was an email demanding possession of the property or to pay the rent for XXXX. I received this on XX/XX/year>. 

On XX/XX/year> I received a response from XXXX requesting that I complete a move out confirmation, I signed it and it is dated XX/XX/year> with the return of possession date listed as XX/XX/year>. My last day in the property was XX/XX/year>. 

I received an email on XX/XX/year> stating I have an outstanding move-out balance and another email on XX/XX/year> stating that I owe {$2400.00}. 

On the move out statement I received in XX/XX/year>. There is also false information listed stating that I gave notice on XX/XX/year> to move and I moved out on XX/XX/year>. I initially emailed XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> to advise that I wanted to terminate my lease early on XX/XX/year>. After not getting a response for several weeks, I reached out to XXXX again on XX/XX/year> to try to get a response in regard to lease termination as XX/XX/year> was a week away. I then received additional email address to send this notice to. 


As a result : -The alleged balance is not legally owed. 
-The debt is unenforceable. 
-The reporting of this account is inaccurate and misleading.

-They may not legally withhold any portion of my security deposit, even if they claim it's for an early termination fee or other charges.
