      I am filing a formal complaint against ProCollect regarding a collection account that has been placed on my credit report without proper verification. This collection does not belong to me, and despite my requests for validation, the agency has failed to provide legally sufficient proof that this debt is mine.I have contacted ProCollect to dispute this account and requested proper documentation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). However, they have not provided any valid evidence, such as a signed contract or original creditor statements, proving that I am responsible for this debt. Instead, they continue to report it to the credit bureaus, negatively impacting my credit score.I am requesting that this collection be removed from my credit report immediately due to the lack of proper verification. If the agency cannot legally verify this debt, they have no right to continue reporting it. Please investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that ProCollect complies with federal and consumer protection laws.

      I recently discovered a $912 collection account from my previous apartment complex, **********************, on my credit report. Prior to this, I was never notified of any outstanding balance by the apartment complex or Pro Collect. Had I been made aware, I would have handled the matter immediately.On 1/29/2025, I contacted Pro Collect to discuss the account and inquired about a pay-for-delete arrangement. During the call, the representative was extremely rude, aggressive, and unprofessional. They:1. Threatened me by stating that I had only two days to pay before they would pursue legal action, which I believe is an unlawful threat under Texas and federal law.2. Hung up on me when I attempted to explain my situation.3. Left me feeling harassed and intimidated, ultimately reducing me to tears.

      No notice, agreement, or information was provided to allow me to research this issue. Legal process of fair trade laws and consumer protection laws were not followed by this company. The original company charged 4 times the fee for another roommates fee. One roomeate.was the last to leave and left a trash bag. 4 roommates were charge the same fee for a single issue.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 01/31/2025

      I am rejecting this response because: The business ******** Crossings has failed us prior to moving in. Originally, our unit at ************ (another complex they own) was not ready to move into due to uncleanliness, pest infestation, along with black mold on appliances. We agreed to be housed at the Village given the circumstance. We resigned a lease in good faith for the apartment with understanding that the apartment was in bad shape i.e. the patio door cosmetic damage, dents on the front entrance door, and a hanging guard rail. The property manager and leasing agent agreed to note the apartment in its current condition and did not give us any form to notify them of the damage. Since our stay at either apartment, they have since switched property managers numerous times. Damages were cause by natural disaster(s) (flooding) noted at the time of our walkthrough. If this were truly MY debt, then why would they try to charge both the actual tenant in 1011-C and I who was in unit 1011-B?

      Customer Answer

      Date: 02/07/2025

      I am rejecting this response because: The business has simply reiterated their first message not providing any additional information. They have not clarified why they are seeking me, tenant of 1011-B to pay charges that were existing to the unit prior and natural flooding during our stay. The room swap was approved by the previous managers of The Village at *************************, so I am not sure why there is an issue. I am not the original owner of the debt nor did I admit to any debt owed. This is not my debt and I did not reside in 1011-C. These charges against him and I are fraudulent, since they were based off of preexisting damage in the apartment. Also, they seem to only respond toward the end of day on weekends, further prolonging this investigation.

      Their client contends that their information is true, yet we (the actual tenant of 1011-C and I) are being charged for: pet damage though we had no pets inside the unit, two final electricity bills, door damage that is clearly pre-existing, and miscellaneous charges titled 'Other Income' or 'Final Other Income'. Our deposit was supposed to be held for the month of July and used for final payments, yet the amount held was $0

      I am writing in response to your letter dated January 2, 2025, regarding the alleged debt associated with Wolf Run Apartments (Account Balance: $7,020.00). While I appreciate your acknowledgment of my dispute and your intent to provide proof of the debt, your actions thus far fail to meet the requirements outlined under federal law.Violations and Outstanding Issues:1. Failure to Provide Adequate Debt Validation (15 U.S.C. 1692g):You are required to furnish verifiable and complete documentation that substantiates this alleged debt, including:Case Law: ****** *. *******, 745 N.E.2d 862 (Ind. App. 2001): Debt collectors must provide sufficient proof of liability when requested.2. Improper Handling of Disputed Debt (15 U.S.C. 1692e):Your letter offers payment options while the account is actively disputed. This constitutes a deceptive practice aimed at coercing payment before validation of the ********* Law: ***** *. Capital ********************************** Servs., 460 F.3d 1162 (9th Cir. 2006): Misleading communication about disputed debts violates the FDCPA.3. Failure to Acknowledge Protections Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-3:As I have previously stated, this debt is directly tied to coercive and involuntary circumstances associated with my status as a victim of *** trafficking. Reporting or collecting on this account violates federal law, which prohibits the reporting of such debts.4. Incomplete Credit Reporting (15 U.S.C. 1681e(b)):This account does not appear on my Experian report, reflecting incomplete and inaccurate reporting. Under the ****, credit reporting agencies and data furnishers must maintain accurate and consistent records.Demands for Resolution:Immediate Validation of Debt:Immediate Cease-and-Desist (15 U.S.C. 1692c(c)):Cease all communication regarding this alleged debt, including calls, letters, or other forms of contact.
