The reason for my complaint is because this debt was added to my credit report without a debt validation letter. I do not agree that I owe the creditor that the collection agency is attempting to collect the debt on behalf of. I feel that the creditor concocted a debt and sent it to a collection agency without sending it to me to avoid me questioning the debt. I feel the creditor did this because I chose not to extend my lease, even after they offered to reduce my rent. When I originally signed my rental agreement, this home was owned by XXXX.It was later sold to XXXX while I was still under lease agreement. At the end of my lease, I chose to move. I was not aware that this company reported a debt to a collection agency until I attempted to advance in employment and a credit report was pulled. I have sent numerous request to the collection agencies to remove this item, but they continue to find the debt valid. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I sent a debt validation request to the collection agency, but they have not responded. I sent the letter by regular mail, but I know that the letter was received because I requested that they remove a duplicate item from my report and the item was removed. Please assist me with resolving this issue.
