      I received a letter from ProCollect **** on July 12, 2023, claiming that I owe a debt of $16,892.00 to Torre/GMH student living. However, I don't owe Torre/GMH student living any debt and I never rented or stepped foot inside this business. Torre apartment sold a bad debt to ProCollect, Inc.Firstly, I find it troubling that the piece of mail serving as notification of this debt collection was not sent via certified mail. Its appearance resembled junk mail, making it easily overlooked, especially since they only allow 30 days to dispute the debt. Additionally, during my email interaction with ******* general manager last year in August 2022, it became evident that my signature on the lease agreement had been forged using an electronic signature. This is particularly concerning as the alleged signed lease agreement supposedly occurred during the time when I was traveling overseas. Logistically, it would have been impossible for me to sign the document with an ****** IP address. I would like to clarify that I only filled out an online application on their website and never signed a lease agreement with them. ProCollect, Inc. provided a move-out statement generated on November 2022 to validate the debt and claim that I had made a $100 deposit. However, after thoroughly reviewing my banking statements, I found no evidence of a $100 withdrawal. Despite my explicit request for evidence to substantiate the deposit payment and signature, the debt collector has refused to provide any such validation. The collector is pursuing debt using forged documents since they couldnt prove the lease was signed by me. They simply told me it is their word against mine. I demand that ProCollect **** takes immediate action to rectify and remedy the damage by closing the account and never report it on my credit. If this account was reported on my credit then I expect ProCollect to promptly remove any negative account information related to this debt from all major credit bureaus.

      The consumer was sent to collections on 06/23/2023 from Torre Apartments. The balance due is $16,852.00 for violating the lease for non payment of rent. The consumers dispute was reported and proof of debt was mailed to the consumer. If the consumer has proof he is not responsible for the debt he may email ************************************************* or fax ************. As a solution the consumer may call the office at *********************** ************** to get payment options. Thank you for your time and patience in this matter.

      I am rejecting this response because:   Again you did not read my complaint and failed to respond to my emails that I attached here. You did not provide any evidence of this lease beside providing a forged document of electronic signature [not made by me]. This shows that you can't prove anything at this point; You can't authenticate the lease agreement or provide evidence/receipt of the alleged deposit written on the move-out statement. This is not only unethical but illegal. I already called your office and sent emails and I've yet to hear any response to my second email requesting evidence. Please read my initial complaints! 

      This is particularly concerning as the alleged signed lease agreement supposedly occurred during the time when I was traveling overseas. Logistically, it would have been impossible for me to sign the document with an ****** or American IP address. I would like to clarify that I only filled out an online application on their website to possibly live there and never signed a lease agreement with them. ProCollect, Inc. provided a move-out statement generated on November 2022 to validate the debt and claim that I had made a $100 deposit. However, after thoroughly reviewing my banking statements, I found no evidence of a $100 withdrawal. I carefully examined each transaction last year and I am sure I never paid a deposit. Despite my explicit request for evidence to substantiate the deposit payment and signature, the debt collector has refused to provide any such validation. Instead, the collector threatened to report this debt to the credit bureau, emphasizing that it would negatively impact my credit history regardless of whether I choose to pay it or not. The collector is pursuing debt using forged documents since they couldnt prove the lease was signed by me.

I opened my credit and saw that a collection had been opened by Pro Collect (no address etc) and the creditor was 10 *********** ************ A in the amount of $128.00. I had no idea who this company was or where it was. I googled and called ************ *************)(P.O.

Because they did not know which one I was (I would not give them any of my info) they gave me all 10 account numbers. I notified the 3 credit companies to freeze my credit and that I was disputing this fraudulent collection. I have written a letter to Pro Collect in *****, ** who replied saying it was not them but another company with a similar name in *****. I called that company, Procollect, *** (**************************************************************) yesterday ****************************** July 12, to verify their address and they hung up on me 4 times because I would not give them any personal information and they would not verify their address. I filed a Harris County Constable report in June and have kept them informed as well as the ***** Attorney General.

      This company called me for payment on an account that did not belong to me and when I asked for information on the creditor, they would not give it to me. She said I had to submit in writing with a police report to get that information but cannot file a police report without a creditor. So basically giving me no options for assistance. She was extremely rude and offered NO insight whatsoever on who was trying to collect $8000 from me! They need to be shut down!

      I am rejecting this response because:   I have filed a police report against this on 7/14/23 but I they are not available immediately.  When it is ready I can pick it up and email it.  However, since this case is based on fraud, I am refusing to provide my drivers license to a company I had never heard of until I received this letter last week.  I have been advised by the sheriff's department NOT to send over any personal information that can be used to create additional fraud.  I have simply requested a phone number to the creditor so that I could dispute this with them. All I am told are Village Apartments.  I have lived in ******** for the last 17 years and we do not have a Village Apartments in ********.  I will be more than happy to upload the police report to procollect and to the BBB when it is available.  But I will not give my personal ID to someone who is trying to extort money from me.

      I called procollect on Monday, July 3 regarding payment on my account with them. The representative i spoke with ( i do have his name) was very nice & we made an agreement to pay 1/2 the balance Friday July 7th before 12 & set up the payment for the other half. Here it is Friday July 7th , i called to pay half as agreed and the representative ************* stated he does see the notes the first representative made, however he will not honor it & demanded i pay in full. I am honestly just trying to pay the debt i owe. If you see the notation in the system, why not honor it and collect the money i owe? Its unprofessional & alarming.
