Attempts to collect debt not owed
Debt collection: Other debt
Debt is not yours
Complaint: The original debt amount is {$2900.00} due to a broken lease agreement. However, the lease was also under the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Even though she was an XXXX XXXX ; XXXX ( leasing office ) still had her approved without a social security number. I made a security deposit of {$2900.00} before we moved in!
XXXX and Hunter Warfield placed not only the full amount of a joint debt under my social security but also keeps charging interest every month. Now Hunter Warfield is trying to collect {$3700.00} and reporting that amount in my credit reports monthly. XXXX XXXX XXXX no longer lives in the U.S due to being deported and there is no way for them to collect any money from her. I agreed to pay 50 % of the debt in order for them to remove this from my records, however, their agents don't give me that option and are very rude over the phone. XXXX made a mistake of allowing someone without social security to rent an apartment with them, and I can only be held responsible for my share of the debt.
I need them to either remove this collection from my credit report or just be fair and show correct amounts since was a joint lease.
The correct amount I should have been charged is {$1400.00} Acc # XXXX

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: I have been trying to get a collection agency named Hunter Warfield to provide me with proof that I owe a debt they claim I owe. They claim I owe them {$2200.00} for an apartment I used to live in a few years ago. Because I left the apartment in good standing and paid my rent until my lease end date, and because I also had a {$500.00} deposit which was never returned to me, I felt these charges were ridiculous. I understood that apartments have to clean after tenancy ends regardless of the condition of the property, but that number should only be a few hundred dollars. To charge me {$220000.00} ON TOP of my deposit already taken is fraudulent and just a way for the apartments and it's collection agency to extort money from me.
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent Hunter Warfield a validation of debt request in writing specifically asking for the itemization of charges. Hunter Warfield did actually provide me with a ledger showing what all the charges were for. I commend them for that because at least I know they attempted to adhere to the F.D.C.P.A. up to that point. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. The problem is that now I can not get a hold of a Hunter Warfield representative if my life depended on it to challenge this vague and ambiguous itemization. I have attempted on numerous days for the last month to contact Hunter Warfield to no avail. I have called XXXX which is the number sent on the " validation of debt '' notice sent to me by XXXX XXXX the collector I will assume is handling my case. I have also called XXXX which is what is on the collection notice they sent me. I have called XXXX which is the number listed on XXXX for Hunter Warfield. I have even called XXXX which is the number listed on the Hunter and Warfield website reserved specifically for their " clients. '' I have attempted every single one of those numbers numerous times over numerous days at all hours of the day starting from XXXX XXXX. up to XXXX XXXX pacific standard time. On every single occassion except one, I never reach a live representative even though I am holding for 6-7 minutes. Eventully the call gets sent to a voicemail asking me to leave my number and name. This happens if I dial for the collections department, if I dial for the operator, if I dial for the Spanish department, or any other department.
After trying numerous times today I finally reach a live operator. I attempt to inform her of my plight and how I never reach a live representative and I have been attempting to communicate with someone for a month. I tell her how the itemization is frivolous and ambiguous and I really need to talk to someone. Also that every time I attempt any department I reach a voicemail and that I needed to speak to someone now. What does she do?, she transfers me to the collection department and it goes to voicemail again. Well I've had it. I am filing this complaint not only because I do not owe this bill, but because Hunter Warfield does not follow proper procedure for collecting a debt,. Even if I did agree to this debt and chose to pay it, I couldn't. No one ever answers the phone. But for clarity 's sake, I DO NOT OWE THIS BILL.
I will send you a copy of the itemization Hunter Warfield forwarded to me. At face value, it would seem this debt is legitimate. Upon close inspection however, you will notice that the itemization is flawed. On the itemization it lists everything accordingly except the portion of repairs and maintenance. It simply states repairs and maintenance {$2300.00}. It does not list what those repairs were. It does not list anything simply an arbitrary number of {$2300.00}. Because the itemization provided lists removing all trash from property for {$250.00}, and carpet cleaning for {$50.00}, and house cleaning for {$150.00}, then why aren't the repairs itemized and listed? The reason is that those charges are fraudulent. The property did not need {$2300.00} in repairs. This is clearly extortion and I demand this account be removed from my credit report and for this debt to be cancelled immediately. My deposit already covered the costs of all the cleaning and I paid all my rent dues.

Complaint: On XX/XX/2017, I turned in the keys to my apartment after my roommate and I were placed under an eviction status and my roommate moved out without my knowledge. On the XXXX of XXXX, the balance left for the apartment was not only increased by over {$3000.00} but it was sent to collections before I had a chance to settle it. On the XXXX of XXXX, I received the final bill by email. I then proceeded to email management, I called and even showed up in person but they continued to avoid me. The bottom of the bill states you have 30 days from the final notice to settle the debt. Now the collection agency that has the debt has increased it by {$640.00}. When I try to contact the collection agency, I end up getting the voicemail. Also, I have never received a written letter from the company. The original debt amount was {$7300.00} and it is now {$7900.00}. The collector is Hunter Warfield.

This was in year 2015. I was XXXX years old. Now XXXX at XXXX XXXX is trying to collect XXXX $ through a debt collector.

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX we received a threatening message from our former landlord XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX saying they were going to sue us for debt that we had no clue of or were liable for. They threatened that we should settle with the owner or they were going to the legal action and ruin our credit and we would have to pay thousands to repair.
They then sent out a repair bill totaling up to over XXXX $ in XX/XX/XXXX.
We moved out from our rental of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas. on XX/XX/XXXX. We were month to month after our initial lease was up in XX/XX/XXXX. We gave XXXX XXXX our 30 days notice. And they never returned our deposit or did a final walkthrough. We had to leave the keys at the house inside as they wouldn't even meet with us to turn over the keys and garage remotes.
We haven't heard a word from them as they did have our forwarding address.6 months later ( past the 30 days they have ) they reported to credit agencies of a debt for XXXX $ that is not ours or are we responsible for. They will not answer any questions they just keep sending us bills and we didn't even live there. They are making false threats as XXXX XXXX rents several properties in our neighborhood and thinks people can be intimidated. We have disputed this with the collection agency. They hung up on me as you will hear in the recording I am attaching. As you can see we paid our rent up until XX/XX/XXXX which was our last payment. You will see from the lease extension that they provided It clearly states XX/XX/XXXX as termination of the lease.

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I was alerted through credit monitoring that a company named Hunter Warfield in XXXX, FL reported a fraudulent collection account under my name and ssn #. I immediately contacted Collection Attorney XXXX XXXX who sent a letter to the company requesting court documentation confirming the account however no court documentation or court judgments were provided. Attorney XXXX requested court documentation again in XX/XX/XXXX however Hunter Warfield failed to provide any court supported documents as required by the State of Michigan for non-payment of rent complaints. Instead the company continues to report inflated amounts for a fraudulent collection account to all 3 credit bureaus in attempts to ruin my credit. A 7 Year Fraud Alert was initiated on my accounts in XX/XX/XXXX after I received alerts for Homeland Security and the US Dept of Personnel in Washington, DC indicating that my personal information was compromised from their databases, and this information was sent to all 3 credit bureaus. The fraudulent entry of Hunter Warfield needs to be removed from my reports unless they can provide court documents, court judgments, or other court documentation for the alleged account.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: The debt itself is fraudulent. It implied we were evicted from our apartment complex when we never were we stayed the contracted amount of months and never paid late. Complex had my number, new address and email and never once attempted to even bill me and sent this to collections the following month after we moved out in 2016. I have come to the realization Hunter Warfeild is adding more money to the collections account and redating the account on my credit.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: In XXXX I submitted a dispute online to the credit bureaus to dispute a claim from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The collections company is XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have constantly called me and as I checked my credit report I noticed the dispute was never answered. So I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and verbally disputed the claim. I received a letter in the mail from them dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX that they were needing additional information from the company and needed additional time to contact me of the results. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Warfield to inquire if they had heard from the company. The told me they had not received a response. I asked how long before they waited until they considered my case founded. The company claimed I owed them money for damages to an apartment that I gave early termination notice of the lease, but paid the lease in full for the month prior to vacating, AND I did a walkthrough video of the condition of full apartment. Since I paid the rent in full for the month I still had possession of the keys. When I went back the appliances had been removed from the apartment. I questioned the management and they said they needed for another apartment. I later received a bill in the mail for damages, which I disputed then and now. I still have the still pictures and the video of when I vacated the apartment. To date they have been noncompliant with trying to resolve this matter in removing this false and negative collection from my report. The confirmation # Hunter Warfield gave me is:XXXX

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, The reason for my dispute is HUNTER WARFIELD INC # XXXX was required to notify me no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to credit bureau reports, in writing ... under such section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). However, in my records, I am unable to locate documentation that they complied with this requirement, which is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA. Also, HUNTER WARFIELD INC. failed to give me my " Mini-Miranda '' five days prior to placing this derogatory item on all of my credit reports, per Section 807 ( 11 ) & FDCPA 809, which is {$1000.00} per violation and the state of OHIO allows treble damages. Under 809. Validations of date and Mini-Mirandi under Section 807 ( 1 ) HUNTER WARFIELD INC failed to send me my initial communication before placing this alleged item on my credit reports further violating the FCRA, with {$1000.00} per violation HUNTER WARFIELD INC is held liable as well for defamation and in the state of OHIO a creditor is who collects their on debt is considered a debt collector under 1319.12 O.R.C.Taking assignment of debts Section C paragraph 3. ( 3 ) The assignment was manifested by a written agreement separate from and in addition to any document intended for the purpose of listing the account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with the collection agency. The written agreement shall state the effective date of the assignment and the consideration paid or given, if any, for the assignment and shall expressly authorize the collection agency to refer the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness to an attorney admitted to the practice of law in this state for the commencement of litigation. The written agreement also shall disclose that the collection agency may consolidate, for purposes of filing an action, the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with those of other creditors against an individual debtor or co-debtors. FDCPA I fail to see where HUNTER WARFIELD INC is in compliance with OHIO LAW. I also believe that this business is not registered to operate in the state of OHIO I expect this collection account to be removed from my credit report. HUNTER WARFIELD INC. has not even tried to contact me regarding this collection account. Please have them remove this collection account immediately.
