Hunter Warfield, Inc. Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Ohio

Hunter Warfield debt collection company has reported I owe a debt of over $1000.00 which they purchased from a lease company called - - out of -, Ohio. - - fabricated these charges in retaliation for me reporting and complaining about illegal activity on the apartment complex property which endangered myself and my children. When we broke our lease because of unsafe conditions and repeatedly being victimized by theft by other residents and their guests the leasing company withheld my security deposit and fabricated charges for non-existent damages '' in order to recoup the rent that would have been owned had we fullfilled the remainder of our lease. I informed Hunter Warfield of this on every occasion that I spoke with them. They insisted they had verified the debt was valid '' by taking - - 's word for it. I told them I had - photos of the apartment on the day we moved out showing there were no damages but they refused to let me send them to them. After repeated contacts to my cell phone I informed them I did not want them contacting my cell phone anymore and requested they only contact me in writing. Collectors were rude and hung up on me when I made these statements, only to continue calling back to my cell phone multiple times. Their collection practices were aggressive, threatening, intimidating and illegal when they refused to stop calling my cell and refused to contact me only in writing. They also did not do a proper job of validating this debt as there were no damages to the apartment at all. I have now been denied a mortgage loan to purchase a home due to this specific item appearing on my credit reports.
