  Subject: Formal Dispute of Alleged Debt
  
  
  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  
  I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the debt that Smoky Crossing Apartment Homes has claimed I owe and that has been sent to a collection agency. After reviewing my records and lease agreement, I firmly maintain that I do not owe the amount alleged.
  
  
  To date, I have not received proper documentation or an accurate accounting of the charges being claimed. As required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), I am requesting full verification of the debt, including:
  1.A detailed breakdown of the charges in question, including dates and descriptions.
  2.Copies of any invoices, lease agreements, or signed documents that substantiate these charges.
  3.Proof that Smoky Crossing Apartment Homes has the legal right to collect this debt.
  
  
  Until such documentation is provided, I dispute the validity of this debt in its entirety. Furthermore, reporting unverified or inaccurate information to credit agencies is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (****). I expect Smoky Crossing Apartment Homes and any associated collection agency to immediately cease collection efforts until verification is provided.

  I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with a recent customer service experience. Earlier today, I had a phone call with a representative named *******, with whom Ive previously spoken. While expressing my frustration about the delay in processing a payment that is already posted to my account, I was unexpectedly labeled as aggressive. At no point during the conversation did I yell, use profanity, or behave in a disrespectful manner to warrant that characterization.Following that, I spoke with a supervisor named ******* ***, whose dismissive and nonchalant demeanor only deepened my frustration. It is incredibly disappointing to encounter such a lack of professionalism and empathy from both a representative and a supervisor.Due to the continued disrespectful treatment, I no longer wish to engage with your company. I am formally requesting documentation that reflects a $0.00 balance on my account, along with a letter stating that my account is settled and closed. Please provide this in writing at your earliest convenience.Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I hope future clients are met with more courtesy and respect than I have experienced.Sincerely,

  Thank you for your prompt response and the helpful information regarding the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and RentDebt Automated Collections, LLC.

  I appreciate the guidance on disputing the debt and the resources from the ************************************ and the FTC.

  I have already sent a letter to RentDebt Automated Collections, LLC, disputing the debt and requesting they cease communication and asked them to provide me with my contract with them.

  Furthermore, I understand that under the *****, a collection agency cannot report a debt on my credit report if I do not have a contractual agreement with them. Since I have no contract with RentDebt Automated Collections, LLC, their reporting of this alleged debt on my credit is in violation of federal law. I request that you investigate this aspect of their actions as well.

  Please let me know if any further information is needed to proceed with my complaint.

  I am filing this complaint regarding an inaccurate and inflated collection placed on my credit report by RentDebt Automated Collections for $17,803, supposedly from Wedgewood Apartments. I vacated the unit around Jan 3, 2023, returned my keys, and have documentation from the management confirming this. Additionally, I received rental assistance through the Our Florida program, with several months of payments directly deposited (proof attached).Also, the Our Florida program payments totaling $5,010 ($835 x 6) that doesnt align with the $17,803 theyre reporting. That makes it even clearer they price-gouged and inflated this. Despite this, RentDebt is reporting a completely inaccurate and exaggerated debt.The date of first delinquency should reflect when I actually moved out and stopped occupying the unit, which was around January 2023. However, the collector falsely reports the account as opened in February 2024, more than a year after I moved out this is re-aging, and it violates the **** (Section 605(c)).I never received a proper debt validation or breakdown of charges, and I believe this amount is fraudulently inflated. The balance appears to be re-aged, which violates **** reporting laws. I am requesting that this tradeline be removed from my credit report immediately due to the inaccuracies, unsupported charges, and failure to validate.Attached are payment proof, communication with the property, and screenshots of the reported tradeline and Experian reporting history. I am requesting deletion, not adjustment.

  Hello,
  
  
  I am submitting this additional follow-up under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA 809(b)) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). I am formally requesting:
  
  
  A copy of the original contract or signed lease bearing my signature
  Documentation validating the full amount being claimed
  Proof that the company attempting to collect legally owns the debt or has been assigned rights by the original creditor
  
  
  
  
  To date, I have not received proper validation. If the above cannot be provided, the account must be removed from all consumer reporting agencies, and all collection activity must cease. Furnishing unverifiable or inaccurate information is a violation under federal law.
  
  
  I ask the BBB to continue to investigate this matter and escalate if necessary. Thank you.

  Complaint: 23427872
  
  I do not accept RDACs response because the documentation they submitted is inaccurate and misleading. I vacated the property in January 2023, not in September as their report falsely states. There is no proof (photos, signed inspection, or timestamped documentation) of the charges listed. The balance forward of $15,371.72 is unexplained and bloated with arbitrary charges like a Florida financial penalty and cleaning fees without evidence. This violates FCRA 611 for unverifiable and inaccurate information. I am requesting deletion of this tradeline from all consumer reporting agencies.

  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  
  I am submitting additional documentation to support my original BBB complaint regarding the inaccurate $17,803 collection claim reported by RentDebt Automated Collections on behalf of Wedgewood Apartments.
  
  
  
  
  1. Rental Assistance Was Approved and Paid
  
  
  
  
  I was approved for state rental assistance through the Our Florida program in 2022. Multiple payments were sent directly to Wedgewood Apartments three payments of $835.00 were deposited (FebApr 2022). Two additional payments ($835 each) were placed on hold due to Wedgewoods lack of cooperation. These payments are clearly documented in my attached screenshots.
  
  
  
  
  2. Wedgewood Failed to ********************* Checks
  
  
  
  
  Attached are photos of two physical government-issued checks made out to Wedgewood Apartments (both for $835.00), which were never cashed. Despite being valid payments, Wedgewood escalated the balance and charged late fees instead of applying these funds. This is an example of misapplied or rejected assistance, not valid unpaid rent.
  
  
  
  
  3. False Move-Out Date = Fraudulent Charges
  
  
  
  
  I vacated the unit and returned my keys in January 2023, not September as they claimed. Their records inaccurately include September rent, Florida financial penalty, and cleaning charges long after I left. Ive attached an email from their office (July 2023) confirming confusion over my move-out status further proving I had already vacated.
  
  
  
  
  4. Ledger and Charges Are Inflated and Unverifiable
  
  
  
  
  The ledger provided shows unexplained balance forwards, duplicate charges, and excessive late fees without transparency. There is no signed itemized agreement to justify over $17,000 in charges. Many of these stem directly from ignored payments and mishandled assistance.
  
  
  
  
  This tradeline is invalid and in violation of FCRA 611, and I am requesting:
  
  
  
  
  Immediate deletion of this account from my credit reports (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion)
  Cease collection activity
  A fair and thorough reconsideration of my dispute, now supported by documented proof
  
  
  
  
  Thank you for reviewing this. I am prepared to escalate further if necessary, but I trust BBB will help ensure fair treatment.
  
  
  Sincerely,

  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  
  This is a formal response to RentDebt Automated Collections (RDAC) reply regarding my account allegedly placed by Wedgewood Apartments with a balance of $17,803.32.
  
  
  I dispute the accuracy of their response and am requesting further investigation and deletion of this tradeline for the following reasons:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  1. 
  I Was Not Living in ******* in September 2023
  
  
  
  
  RDACs claim that I vacated the apartment on September 26, 2023 is false. I was no longer residing in the state of ******* at that time. This timeline is entirely fabricated or misrepresented. I have documentation proving I was living elsewhere during this period and am happy to provide proof of address if needed.
  
  
  Because their claim is based on the assumption that I resided in the apartment through late 2023, any ledger, balance, or fees accrued during this period are invalid and not my legal responsibility.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  2. 
  Failure to Properly Verify Debt
  
  
  
  
  RDAC has not provided a signed agreement or proof of continued tenancy during the disputed period. They merely attached a ledger and claim a $4,000 ACH payment bounced in September 2022. This does not validate a debt owed through 2023. There has been no itemized calculation to explain how the balance increased, and the report contains unverifiable and misleading financial data.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  3. 
  Possible Re-Aging of the Debt
  
  
  
  
  The account was not placed with RDAC until February 1, 2024, yet it includes balances and rental charges allegedly accrued long before then. It appears this tradeline was re-aged in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), giving the false impression of a newer delinquency than actually exists.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  4. 
  Violation of FCRA Accuracy Standards
  
  
  
  
  Per 623 of the ***** data furnishers must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. By submitting unverifiable, outdated, and factually inaccurate information (such as a false move-out date and inflated balance), RDAC is in direct violation of this requirement.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Request for Resolution:
  
  
  
  
  Immediate deletion of this tradeline from all consumer reporting agencies (********, *******, and **********).
  Full validation of the alleged debt with a signed lease showing liability through September 2023if RDAC refuses deletion. 
  Investigation into RDACs practices for accuracy and proper reporting timelines.
  
  
  
  
  I ask that this matter be reviewed thoroughly and the inaccurate tradeline be removed from my credit reports immediately.
  
  
  Sincerely,

  Complaint: 23427872
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  
  This is a formal response to RentDebt Automated Collections (RDAC) reply regarding my account allegedly placed by Wedgewood Apartments with a balance of $17,803.32.
  
  
  I dispute the accuracy of their response and am requesting further investigation and deletion of this tradeline for the following reasons:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  1. 
  I Was Not Living in ******* in September 2023
  
  
  
  
  RDACs claim that I vacated the apartment on September 26, 2023 is false. I was no longer residing in the state of ******* at that time. This timeline is entirely fabricated or misrepresented. I have documentation proving I was living elsewhere during this period and am happy to provide proof of address if needed.
  
  
  Because their claim is based on the assumption that I resided in the apartment through late 2023, any ledger, balance, or fees accrued during this period are invalid and not my legal responsibility.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  2. 
  Failure to Properly Verify Debt
  
  
  
  
  RDAC has not provided a signed agreement or proof of continued tenancy during the disputed period. They merely attached a ledger and claim a $4,000 ACH payment bounced in September 2022. This does not validate a debt owed through 2023. There has been no itemized calculation to explain how the balance increased, and the report contains unverifiable and misleading financial data.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  3.
