On approximately Nov 02, 2023, I was contacted by Pro Collect in regards to a collection notice from apartment management company **************** at ********** for final bill and damages. The agent told me that they had notified me, despite me telling her this was something I was not made aware of, nor that I was aware of any owed charges since living there approximately 7-8 yrs ago. I asked the agent for an itemized lists and pictures of the supposed damages to review and file for my records before submitting any payment. The agent was rude, continually cut me off, and again ignored my request and decided to fraudulently mark my response as refusal to pay. Additionally, she continually put me on hold, there was a lot of noise in the background, and she seemed unable to focus on the issue at hand or what I was telling her.Business Response

I reached out to procollect to see why I had a collections still showing on my credit and I have paid them in full. I was informed that I have to email someone named Fox. He called me back screaming at me telling me its not on my credit. I advised that I would screen shot it because it is showing. When I told him to stop yelling at me he went off on me and hung up. When I called back to report him I found out he was the owner. I would like this off my credit immediately because that was the original agreement.Business Response

I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the handling of my account, identified by account number ***********. It has come to my attention that you have shared my nonpublic information with the three credit bureaus, resulting in the furnishing of inaccurate information on my credit report.This situation has not only caused significant financial distress but also immense emotional strain. I believe that these actions violate my privacy rights as outlined in 15 USC **** Section 602, which unequivocally asserts my right to privacy concerning the sharing of nonpublic information.Moreover, I would like to draw your attention to 15 USC **** Section 604 A Section 2, which explicitly states that a consumer reporting agency, such as yours, cannot furnish information about an account without my written instructions. I have not provided such instructions, and I demand an immediate correction of this violation.Additionally, according to 15 USC **** B, a creditor is prohibited from treating any payment on a credit card account as late for any purpose under an open-end consumer credit plan. I expect you to adhere to this regulation promptly.The inaccurate reporting on my credit report is damaging my financial standing and overall well-being. I request that you rectify this situation promptly and provide written confirmation of the corrections made. Failure to comply may result in legal action to protect my rights.I appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and expect a swift resolution.Business Response

Procollect recently showed up on my credit reports as a collection account. Says $6,000 is due. I called them and asked what the so called debt was for. They said I cosigned for an apartment lease. I asked them to send me the contract I so called signed and or the lease I so called signed. They never sent me any documentation. I never cosigned for anyone in my life. This apartmen lease I so called signed for is in a different state than I live in. I demand this be removed from all credit reports immediately or I will be forced to seek legal action. Again to be perfectly clear, I have not rented any apartment in over 25 years and have never cosigned for anyone in my entire life. This needs to be removed immediately.Business Response
