  We entered into a leasing agreement for an apartment at ******************************************************************. WE have a copy of the lease attached and a copy of the ledger that we were paid up to date and in full at the vacancy of the unit. We did not receive any Security deposit refund as we should have. We left the apartment clean and in better condition than we found it.

  I leased an apartment from the Foundry from August, 2021 to May, 2022. After my lease expired in May 2022, I followed the required move-out protocol and verified with the office in person that my ledger was balanced.Weeks later, I received an email from the Foundry stating that I owed ~$180 in unpaid fees. When I asked what I was charged for, I was sent an itemized ledger with the majority of the fees being late fees. This was impossible as I had autopay set up on my account, as well as the fact that I confirmed that I had a zero balance when I moved out. I communicated this to the property manager, *************************************, and she sent me back a scanned revised ledger with the balance crossed out and a new total of ~$50 written in pen representing the total minus the late fees. She told me to pay this via check, which I sent to the property. I requested that ********* confirm that she recieved this as well as to confirm that this invalid late charge would not affect my credit score. She did not respond.Around two months later in July, I began to recieve calls and emails from a debt collector called ***************************** saying I owed money to the Foundry. I emailed ********* asking if she had not received the check, and she confirmed that she did. She stated that the debt collector was collecting on the late fees that she had previously stated were incorrect. This issue has been ongoing for so long that the email account that I used to contact *********, which was my student account from University, was disabled and removed from the server. Therefore I no longer have access to my email communications from *******************Since the last email, I have tried to contact the Foundry over a dozen times via email and phone call. I have left numerous messages asking for them to contact me over the past two weeks, all of which have gone unanswered. Meanwhile, the debt collector continues to call me nearly daily. Thank you for your help.

  To Whom It May ******************** moved out owing The Foundry a balance due that went over her deposit refund.  This was a combination of late fee and balance from utilties after move out.

  ***** did make her payment to Foundry which did not include the late fee amount.  This was later approved to be  waived and resolution to this matter was directed to ***************************** who handled the collection for us. 

  ***** was emailed the response from ***************************** releasing her from any debt collection owed The Foundry for her records.

   

  Sincerely,

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