My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
A year ago I signed a lease to rent a store, though I am not the owner of the business, I was working as a manager of the flower shop. But the owner of the business decided not to move there as he found better location, so i called the agent within 2 days to terminate that contract. Also I did not received from him the key or even the copy of the lease.
He told me he needed to consult his lawyer, and after that I have not heard from him.
It's been over 6 months since I left that company. Today I checked my credit report and I found out there is $19,000,00 debt. I called the collection company to find out and they told me that this is about the lease that I signed a year ago and I never moved in. So they are collecting the money for the whole year. I asked them why I have never been notified about this action, and they told me that they were sending letters to me, which I have never received since it's my old address.
Is there anything i can do about it to fix my credit?
