In - - my husband and I were searching for a new, larger apartment for our family since I was - at the time. We arrived at - - - and decided this is where we wanted to live. The leasing agent provided us with a Move-in cost sheet indicating that it would cost $2100.00 to move into the apartment. In order for them to approve us, they needed to perform a credit check and background check and instructed us to complete an application. Within the application it states we have 24 hours to change our minds and if after the 24 hours we are approved and decide not to take the apartment, they would then charge us one months rent equivalent to $1500.00. More than 72 hours later, the apartment complex called to tell us that we were denied based on our credit and the original costs to move in were no longer valid and that if we still wanted the apartment it would cost us between $2500.00 and $2700.00. We needed time


move in. When we called the apartment complex to turn down the apartment they demanded we pay them $1500.00 for one months rent since we signed an application agreement. We instructed them that we never signed a LEASE, and since they changed the move in costs required of us to move in, it nullified the application agreement. We contacted our friend - who is an attorney and the apartment complex refused to speak to him ( and us ). Within a few weeks we received a collection letter from Hunter Warfield. A few months later I contacted the Attorney Generals office who forwarded our complaint to - where they spoke to -, the manager at The -. - agreed that the debt should be retracted. I spoke to - who explained why they sent it to the - credit bureaus but agreed that the debt should be retracted. The Florida Department of Agriculture was unsuccessful in reaching - and Hunter Warfield. Thee problem was never fixed and -/-/- I received another letter from Hunter Warfield who is still attempting to collect the debt and refuses to remove it from our credit reports, and after disputing it with -, the smear still remains. I also went to - to speak directly to - who denied ever speaking to - - - and could not recall who I was or what my complaint was ever about.
