Angry. I disputed the move out damage assessed at my old apartment. I emailed them first and when they didn't respond, I sent a certified letter with a check for $400 of the $594 they asked for. I have the right to dispute such charges. They cashed the check but did not otherwise respond. Today the mother texts me to say she's received a letter from a collections agency that says the old apartment has filed a claim against me for $594. What the ****. I am upset for multiple reasons. I am pissed off that the initial damage assessment they sent informed me of my right to dispute the charges, I did so, and they apparently don't even have to respond before filing against me. I am also obviously very angry that they took my $400 then didn't account for that when they filed their claim. Now I have to dispute the amount with this collections agency. Finally, I am really annoyed that the letter was not sent to me when the last apartment place has my current address and sent their damage assessment here. I have no idea why the collections letter was sent to the mother's address. She was not a guarantor. That is not the address on my license. I am pissed off because what if it wasn't a family member who lived there, but a stranger? I would never know that this was happening until my credit score took a hit.
