Consumer Complaint: Hello, I moved into a student apartment 9 months after the lease and I failed to get an inspection. Seven weeks, we were all kicked out. We were told if we left immediately that it would n't be on our credit record no would we incur any expenses. Just to note they kicked us out after the check for rent was cashed. There was a large repair bill and it was split three ways by management. XXXX roommate ( XXXX ) paid her share. We negotiated a reduced fee, and paid my share. The XXXX, never paid her share and they are going after us/me for the remaining balance. I have call and spoke to me, harassed me, disagreed with me, I have given them the contact info on the third person and when they ca n't reach her ( she ignore them ) they come back and harass me. The call at my home, my work, I recently sent them a certified letter with proof of payment and they sent back a letter saying they need proof.-Already sent. I have looked up the info on XXXX and they constantly get complaints. After a while they have a different person from their organization take over my " case '' and the harassment starts over. When we paid the debt they refused to give us written confirmation. We did however pay for it with my father 's credit card. The name of the company is NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS of Georgia, the Harasser is XXXX XXXX XXXX, I also sent to the President and the Collection manager XXXX XXXX by registered mail on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The bill was paid on -in full- for my portion on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX -- whereby we gave XXXX XXXX my dad 's credit card number and paid {$750.00}. As I said we recently received another piece of mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX and they said there is n't sufficient evidence to validate my claim. I would think a credit card statement to the to National Credit Systems would be proof enough. In addition, we started keeping records of the calls and documenting them and outlined that in the certified letter. How do we stop this? it has been paid, they are continuing to harass me and I feel a XXXX on this matter. It was n't my mess, I should n't have paid anything, They should have cashed my rent check and then kicked me out the next day. But they did and now I am being harassed so much I am sick over this. I did all the right things. Make this stop- they are criminal in the tactics and their efforts to get money

I would like the XXXX to review their case and reverse this action against my credit rating.

I did not know about this debt and I contacted the apt . complex I had in 2013, that same day I paid my debt with them since the leasing office stated that I needed to pay them. Then my new apt . complex proceeded to tell me that I needed to pay National Credit Systems, so I called and I faxed the invoice that my old apt complex gave me. NCS stated that it would take 3 business days to process and send me the letter stating that I paid. I call and call to verify about the fax and they never answer, on the meantime I cant move in to my new apartment because they need the letter from them.
