Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

threat to turnaccount to collections

I received a letter from my daughters college apartment complex from 18 months ago. They claim I owe a $135 debt the auditors discovered. I would be turned over to collection agency if funds not received by the next day. I left a message on their machine to request additional info or proof.They have not returned my call. What are my rights?

Re: threat to turnaccount to collections

You are fully within your rights to request an accounting of the books to justify the apartment complex's claim that you owe $135. Additionally, there may be other potential defenses for you to consider due to the apartment complex waiting 18 months to notify you of the error. If my law firm can assist you with this legal matter or any other legal issue, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
