I moved out of an apartment complex in Florida. The next thing I know, 6 months later, I check my credit and National Credit Systems is trying to collect $2,374 from me. I was never made aware that I was turned into collection and had no idea I even owed anything. I tried to contact them by phone but all I got was a busy signal so I went on their website to the complaints form and it said they don't handle my type of complaint online and to call the same 800 number that always rang busy.
I wrote them a letter and requested that this debt be verified and I told them I wanted an itemized statement to prove what they were saying I owed. Guess what??? No response as usual. I have disputed this on my credit report and it still shows up that I owe this bogus debt. I have pictures, documentation, receipts, and everything else to prove it's bogus but apparently the credit bureau doesn't take that stuff into account. I turned them into the Federal Trade Commission and I still haven't heard anything yet.
I checked to see if they had any complaints with the Better Business Bureau and Wow!!! 347 complaints on this company for the exact same issue I'm having with them and an F rating. It seems like they have continuously been allowed to get away with their crooked practices. If it were just a single person practicing this type of behavior, it would be called a scam and they would go to prison. I guess if you have a group of people who scam, it makes it ok apparently.
