    This person had a collection account placed for collections with ********** on 8/4/2022. We received an electronic dispute on 6/28/23 which was answered the same day via EOSCAR, the online dispute portal. The allegation that this consumer requested information that we did not provide is FALSE. Attached to this response is a copy of the signed lease contract as well as the itemized charges that are owed.

    The agency's contracts is with the clientS who placed the debt, NOT the person(s) that owe them money.

    Business Response

    Date: 11/27/2023

    This person had an account placed for collections in August 2023 which includes a judgment balance from ****** Co General Sessions Court. The file placed for collections is attached as is a copy of the judgment. All aspects of applicable law have been followed by our company and no attempt to deal with the matter has been made by this consumer other than filing disputes and complaints. We just responded to another complaint he lodged with another entity in which he claimed he has made attempts to resolve this. No such attempts have been made by the consumer. Complaining about it, especially after litigation has already occurred, is NOT an effort to resolve anything. It is merely an attempt to threaten and have the matter report to the credit bureaus as disputed. As said in my former response, this account shall continue to report until paid, the statute of limitations expire, or the amount placed is discharged in a bankruptcy. If the consumer would like to make an effort to resolve or even discuss the matter, he/she can contact our office Monday thru Friday 8am to 5pm CST and anyone here will be happy to assist. That's all we have in our power to do but we cannot help someone that does not want to deal with as situation but merely complain about it. Our contact number is ************.;

    This person had an account turned over to ********** for collections in May of 2022 for $3760.00 that stemmed from a lease agreement. ********** does not purchase accounts. All accounts are assigned. I do not know why this person is complaining on ********** since she has never spoken with us or attempted to resolve the matter in any way. Unlike stated in the complaint, this person DID have a contract with our client and it is attached for review as well as a copy of the alleged charges.

    If this consumer would like to discuss the matter further, we will be happy to assist. They can call our office at ************ and any of our representatives should be able to assist the consumer.

    This individual had an account placed for collections on 1/29/2020. He did dispute the account electronically and we provided the required information back to the credit bureaus to which we report. At no time has this person called or written to request copies of anything. We will be glad to and will now send the documents to the address the consumer has provided. Our office is also conveniently located in ******* at ********** and I240 if he/she wants to come by to get the documents requested. Our office line is ************. As long as the consumer brings in a picture ID, we can release the documents to them.

    Our agency has contracts with our clients, not tenants that our clients allege owe them money. We are a assignment agency that does NOT buy or sell debt. All accounts are assigned by the original creditor(s).

    We will be more than happy to discuss the matter with this person and help where we can. That is always our goal. The file contents will be mailed today via **** to the consumer. The file is also attached to this response for quicker access for this individual.

    Complaint: 20559736


    I am rejecting this response because I fulfilled my 1-year lease term dated 05/2020 - 05/2021 (which was uploaded by Absolute Recovery Service of which I DO NOT have a contract with) into the BBB portal that shows all payments made for the 12-month time period of the lease attached). I did NOT enter into another year lease term at any time after 05/31/2021. In addition, the lack of the communication portal from myself to the original creditor *************************** where I gave adequate information on me leaving the residence at the end of the lease and within a 30 days' notice required. (I am not able to log in the system anymore but have the electronic alert from my email where communication was being updated inviting me to log in). The company (***************************) shows to charge erroneous fees on 06/01/2021 for "rent" which eludes that there is an additional lease term signed which was NOT! In addition, the absence of a written, itemized list of the charges for damages into which why the security deposit ($1350) was withheld within 60 days of the time I vacated also was not provided which is a direct violation of my tenant rights per the ***************** (the state of residence at the time). The forwarding address was also listed on the communication to notice of vacate in which notice was NEVER sent. I am demanding that this be removed from my credit report as they are in violation of my FCRA rights for reporting inaccurate information. 

    Sincerely,

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

    I am rejecting this response because I fulfilled 12 months of the 24 months lease term (05/2020 05/2021)which was uploaded and ledger payments to match.
    In the absence of the tenant portal communication log where I communicated my termination of said lease effective 05/31/2021 due to a legal family emergency out of state as well as a forwarding address for future communication.
    Premier Properties of ***** charged the 2nd year lease term as of 06/01/2021 in the amount of $1100 as well as a late fee of $110 on 06/06/2021 knowing the property was vacated.
    Premier Properties also never provided the tenant with an itemized list of the charges for said damages in the sum of $3110 charged to the ledger on 07/29/2021 within 60 days of the original notice of tenants vacating and withheld the $1350 security deposit which is a direct violation of Tenants rights in the *****************.
    With that being said, both Premier Properties of ***** and their reporting agency of Absolute Recovery Service are in direct violation of my FCRA rights by reporting inaccurate information.
