Our dispute to this account is due to the fact that we are not responsible for the original charges ( -. ) and therefore are not responsible for subsequent charges generated by interest and/or contractual collection fees ( Valley Empire Collection ) as we were not living at the address responsible for generating the utility charges since - -, -. During that time, the property was being rented to Tenants who were contractually responsible all utilities. Within a transmission to Valley Empire Collection ( - WA ) were sent - ( - ) separate Residential Lease Agreements outlining the dates the property was rented. Further, particular attention was directed to page - ( - ), part - as each agreement clearly stated " Tenant is responsible for the following utilities and services : Water, Trash and Recycling, and Electricity and Gas and is required to register the utilities and services in Tenant 's name. '' Finally, on page - & - ( respectively ) of the rental agreements we painstakingly highlighted that the tenant was responsible to contact / activate services " before '' taking possession of the residence and that they could NOT take possession until the services were " registered in their name. If they failed to do so before the lease began, the tenant was responsible for any maintenance and charges resulting. '' This agency has been reporting negatively to all major credit bureaus since - which has continually damaged our ability to generate a good credit history / obtain acceptable interest rates on credit cards and even a favorable home loan. My last contact with this company to dispute the matter was - of - and now 7months later they are again attempting to collect the debt that is clearly not ours.
