Okay, so I know I got myself into this situation. The basics of the debt are as follows. I moved out of an apartment 37 days before my lease was up. I had given notice as required by law, but the property management company now claims I jumped the lease. They want a whole bunch of things like $240 in cleaning fees, $60 for keys, $750 for carpet, $750 for the last month’s rent... total they want $4500. I don’t have the whole breakdown yet. Why? Because even though I’ve been sending certified letters to the collections agency for 6 months, I’ve gotten nothing back asking them to validate and itemize the debt. It does show up as disputed on my credit report.
Today I called them and they said that their “computers show” they sent me letters in response. I’ve never gotten anything. I recorded the call. They were ridiculous and hung up on me when I made an offer of $1000.
Any advice? I live in Texas. I’ve disputed this with the FTC twice now and am awaiting my second resolution.
