I lived from XXXX till XXXX in the apartment complex XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX. This apartment complex was bought at the end of XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon leaving the apartment during XXXX XXXX I was told that my deposit would be affected towards the cleaning fee and I provided my new address in case they needed anything. A few months ago I pull my credit report and found that National Credit Systems , Inc. is reporting a debt of {$180.00}. I would have payed that amount of money without problem if I would had been notified and the debt had been validated. In exchange, the XXXX notice i got from a debt that I do not know why I am being charged came from my credit report. This is causing a great harm to my credit history, and I have n't been able to get a mortgage because of it. I requested 25 days ago a debt validation notice and proof that they attempted to collect the debt before reporting it to the credit bureaus. I 've got nothing. I feel frustrated and unprotected from this company.
