Debt Collector Misreports Delinquency Date and Inflates Lease Balance
A former tenant disputes a ProCollect collection account containing multiple inaccuracies: an improper joint-account designation naming a minor child, a delinquency date that predates any actual missed payment, and an inflated balance from a reletting fee the lease terms do not support. This reflects a recurring pattern of debt collectors reporting inaccurate lease-related charges and dates to credit bureaus. The original creditor's records reportedly contradict the collector's account of events.

Collection Agency Sends Notices to Outdated Address for Disputed Move-Out Charges
A former tenant was sent to collections for pet-damage charges despite the damage being caused by a co-tenant's pet, while other tenants on the same lease had balances waived. Collection notices were sent to the vacated address, preventing any response. Unequal application of joint-lease liability and inadequate notice delivery create unfair collection outcomes.
