Collection Agency Sends Notices to Outdated Address for Disputed Move-Out Charges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.

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.
