    Default Re: Collections Action for Rent By Former Landlord

    I would expect a collections action for $400 to be listed on your credit report. Look and see. If it is, and it's not accurate, dispute the entry.

    if disputing whats on your credit report fails to work.since you have moved out of state.the burden of proof is on you.make copies of your proof for both credit agency and the new manager.if they still dont budge.have the attorney general of that state handle it.you can usually fill out a form with them on your complaints ,as noted.

    It's definitely on there, I disputed it. After I disputed it, collection agency faxed me "the proof". It has 400 dollars "misc. charges", then splits up $100 for cleaning, and $300 for unpaid rent, I can agree on the cleaning, but the unpaid rent, completely false. I have my intent to vacate, and last month rent receipt with the words "last payment" on it. So what could they be talking about? I never missed a payment, i have all of my receipts. I told the collection agency this, they told me not to bother to send them because its already on my credit report? huh? is that true?? Apartment comp. not cooperating, acting like its out of their hands. Can i send them to Experian? When they investigate, do they ask them to show proof that the debt is valid. Or do they just ask them for a simple copy of the bill? Basically like the shallow "bill" that they faxed me. It still wasn't a complete itemized statement, no dates or anything.
