In XX/XX/XXXX I moved from an apartment, with the permission of the property owners. I moved due to water problems in the apartment, i.e. it rained thru the bottom of my back door and the carpet in the dining room was soaked and mildewing. A water pipe in the upstairs bathroom was leaking and caused the kitchen cabinet to fall off the wall. I had no problems with my move and have been able to lease housing there was no negative information regarding leases on my credit report, until XXXX XXXX. In XXXX I received a notice from Absolute Recovery Services, a collection agency ; that I owe {$500.00}, my lease in XXXX was for {$610.00} a month. They also indicated a payment was made in XXXX of XXXX. I did not make a payment to them. 
I spoke with the agency via telephone and let them know the resolution I had reached with their client. 
The lady stated she was going to submit the charge to the Credit Bureau. Which she has done. I have disputed the claim with XXXX twice and learned they do not verify information that creditors submit. If I had owed rent to the creditor it seems to me ; they should have notified me of that in XXXX, and/or gone to court to get a judgement. He did neither of these options. Instead 4 years later I am being harassed by a collection agency for an amount that does not even match my lease agreement.
