Columbus, GA

Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Other debt

Debt was paid
Complaint: Some years ago, I rented a home through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The lease contained a 30-day termination clause in the event my job relocated me, which is exactly what happened. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent written notice to their office in XXXX, GA that I would be vacating the house due to employment relocation in XXXX, GA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an invoice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, showing {$1200.00} due. There was a {$1000.00} deposit on file. I made payment for the {$230.00} expecting that they would keep the {$1000.00} deposit, which would clear the debt in full. I have retained a copy of the invoice and can provide it if need be. However, around XX/XX/XXXX, Hunter Warfield began trying to collect a debt from me regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claiming that now somehow -- {$3200.00} was owed. Worse, by XXXX, with interest/fees/etc. added, Hunter Warfield is now claiming {$3700.00} owed. First, I have no idea where the {$3700.00} figure came from. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent an invoice to me stating that {$1200.00} was the amount due with a {$1000.00} deposit on file. So even if I hadnt of settled the {$230.00}, it is still beyond explanation how the amount could multiple exponentially couple of years. Again, I very much dispute ANY debt is owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Since I shouldnt owe anything, I am absolutely flabbergasted that Hunter Warfield is trying to collect more than TRIPLE the original invoice amount from me. And, they are reporting it to the credit reporting agencies as though the initial amount owed was {$3200.00}. I have disputed this debt numerous times and each time, Hunter Warfield continues to verify it as accurate. I can only assume this means they know they are wrong and dont care.

Debt collection: Other debt

Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Complaint: On XXXX of 2018 I received a alert through a credit monitoring system that a collection account from Hunter WarfieldCollection was placed on my credit in the amount of {$12000.00}. Prior to this alert I had never heard of this company or have done business with them. Furthermore, I had never received any letters, phone calls or any form of a collection notice from them nor am I unaware or it's affiliate listed. I disputed the debt with the three major credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and have sent a letter directly to XXXX asking for the debt to be validated. Hunter Warfield, failed to respond to my request for validation with two written attempts but instead chose to have the account closed with the three major credit bureaus stating paid in full. The same day they re-opened the exact same account showing a new balance of {$12000.00} exactly {$1.00} more and still has not responded to any of my attempts to validate this debt and completely remove this item off of my credit reports ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) as this violates my rights as a consumer under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. & 1681 g & I have a right to be notified of a debt they say I owe. I am left with no other choice as a consumer submit this complaint in hopes of a quick resolution to permanently remove these items off of my credit reports

Complaint: I had a XXXX year XXXX XXXX with an apartment complex called XXXX XXXX XXXX. 60 days prior to my lease ending, I gave them a 60 days notice, and continued to pay my for the final month which was in XX/XX/XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX. They are claiming I owe them 2 month Rent plus Interest? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, when my lease didn't end till XX/XX/XXXX and it was paid in XX/XX/XXXX and they were fully aware. When I saw this and called the Leasing Office, management told me my files were lost because after a new company took over, and I needed to contact HUNTER WARFIELD INC to dispute, I've called the collection agency and has been disputing this for almost 3 years now.

Complaint: Earlier last year I contacted the bureaus and XXXX XXXX to dispute the debt. I informed the current manager once she called me that I was XXXX and a XXXX and their policy was never to rent to XXXX, she even admitted it and said he doesnt know how XXXX XXXX could be rented in a XXXX XXXX name. I never received any written correspondence validating the debt and the bureaus validated the debt as valid. I received 97 months in XX/XX/XXXX with 3 years supervised release and they are saying that the apartment was rented in XX/XX/XXXX and my whole sentence didnt end until XX/XX/XXXX. Also this debt is gaining interest on it while it's in collections which I believe is a violation. I am attaching my paperwork from when i was sentenced in XX/XX/XXXX

Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting

Was not notified of investigation status or results
Complaint: This letter was sent to you in response to notices sent to me from your company and more importantly, due to your erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureau { s }, the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable : Identify the original creditor : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus { XXXX, XXXX or XXXX } this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices can provide proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate. If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report and a copy of such deletion { to any/all of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX } request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. It would be advisable that you assure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose.
