      The National Credit Systems refuses to take into account the proof that I have against their 'client' who has sent my account to the NCS.Instead of being a mediator they are behaving as an agent of the said 'client'.Attached is the proof which I sent to them.

      NCS has investigated this consumers complaint. During this process,we review our system notes along with call recordings that *** have been associated with this issue. Additionally, if necessary, we will discuss the matter with any employee who *** have communicated with the consumer. In this instance, we performed our investigation and believe our company acted appropriately. It appears that the consumer has mischaracterized this issue and the complaint is unwarranted.

      I am not liable for this debt with ************************ APTS and do not have a contract with NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM. They did not provide me with original application like I asked.

      Business Response

      Date: 08/31/2022

      I would like to point out that National Credit Systems, Inc. is only a third-party debt collection agency that is collecting a debt on behalf of ************************ Apartments & Sure Deposit. This debt did not originate with our organization, nor do we have permission from ************************ Apartments & Sure Deposit to release **************** from liability for this debt.

      **************** has disputed his debt and NCS, as required by law, has submitted his dispute to the CRAs. We have conducted an investigation of **************** dispute and our client confirmed that the charges accessed to him were accurate.  The outcome of our investigation has been mailed to **************** on 09/25/2019.

      In addition, I am enclosing the documentation NCS received from ************************ Apartments & Sure Deposit supporting the charges that they accessed to *****************

      I hope that the above response will provide your office with the information you are seeking. Please contact me with any additional questions.

      the above company thats listed (NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM) violated my consumer rights state section 15USC.1.69 this company made 4 FDCPA VIOLATIONS; that I will and can take to STATE & FEDERAL court to file a lawsuit for breaking each violation! Violation 1 the above company garnish my rent deposit without my knowledge and applied towards a debt they stated I owe. I owe this company nothing me and this company dont have any bonded contract this a 3rd party company whos is violating my consumer rights! Violation 2 the above company emailed me 5/11/22 about an account I have no knowledge about! After a notice was sent out 06/09/22 about the same debt! When the representative *************************: states on a recorded line to check my spam folder!Violation 3 this company signed for certified documents to be filled out and sent back in writing for the requested information 07/25/22 & stated in the notice to reply within 30 days of receiving notice this company exhausted the 30 days and failed to provide me with complete & accuracy of validation of debt!Violation 4 this company failed to explain their way of verification they use to verify the debt. The original creditors & new management stated no one sent any letters in writing to verify debt; so the above debt collectors are using old documentation & fabricated information to complete each investigation.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that company is lying about communicating with the Elysians apartments the old manager had got fired in July . And been staffed with new workers and neither worker that I spoke with the new property manager and assistant property manager stated that they havent received any form of writing from your company to argue your case yall are illegal and committing falsely info to the credit bureau! Yall never verified the debt yall took my deposit money and applied it to an debt that dont belong to me I dont owe this I sent over fact and electronic signature of me purchasing a uhaul and storage to move you seen where the ledger showed I wasnt charged in December because I was gone ********* consumer law states that creditor have 30 days to respond back in WRITING to the consumer with ACCURATE & PROVEN EVIDENCE & what METHOD OF VERIFICATION YOU USE TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION??? And your company FAILED to do so after you signed for the certified mail! If you dont remove this violation I will file a law suit with my Local state court! 

      Sincerely,

      ***************************

      I lived in a apartment that was infested with roaches and had a mold problem. I moved into the apartment right before the lockdown for Covid 2020. I only lived there 3 months! I came home for work and the entire kitchen ceiling had fell to the floor with black mold and roaches everywhere in the kitchen floor. I called the health department and had to wait for them to come out due to Covid lockdown. The apartment did not come out and ignored my calls. The health **** made it out and filed a report and noted the ***** infestation and mold everywhere. He wrote it all in the report. I had to move!!!

      I have an amount on my rental history that is not accurate. I called to get a validation letter and was talk to very rudely and the man was refusing to send to me by mail and want to send to my email and I refused and he began to say that I refuse to update my address and I never called there before. He put me on hold and hung on me.

      I was contacted in September of 2021 in regards to an account that I was accused of having. The representative was very sweet and understanding with the entire situations. However, now going through a routine credit report check I am showing that debt is being reported on my credit report with all national credit bureaus and the account information is 0% correct, nor do I have any legal obligation to this so called "account". I want this account removed and deleted. I understand the terms and conditions of the companies policies and the fine print as I have read into and researched with a lawyer.

      I'm depressed and suicidal after dealing with the unauthorized use of my personal information. Which resulted in this unauthorized item on my credit report. I sent letters over 30 days ago and they failed to get back with me with sufficient validation. This account violates the ***** and must be deleted immediately because those are serious violations and I could be compensated for them.
