To Whom It May ConcernRe : Complaint about unethical conduct of employees/possible owner ( s ) of Southern Management Systems , Inc. [ FEI/EIN # XXXX ] I have an apartment collections from XX/XX/XXXX and am in the process of finding a new place to live. On Tuesday [ XX/XX/XXXX ] I sought advice from the owner of the company I work for about how to pay a collections, i.e. what documentation to ask for, how to pay, etc. She offered to call and speak on my behalf. I found the name of the collector on creditkarma.com and gave the contact information to my boss. She called and the person who answered the phone informed her that I would have to call and give authorization for her to speak on my behalf. I called and spoke with someone named " XXXX '' who I gave my information to and permission for my boss to call about my collection. On Wednesday [ XX/XX/XXXX ], I spoke with my boss, and she told me about the conversation she had with " Extension 150 ''. I do not know the man 's name because he refused to give one. I will not try to recount exact quotes from the conversation because I wish to only give facts. It would be best to contact my boss directly to get a statement which she would happily provide if requested. The gist of it is that the man she spoke with was unbelievably rude and uncooperative. He made inappropriate comments about the quality of the apartment I currently live in due to having a collection on my record, implying that I live in a dump. He accused my boss of lying when she stated that I did not " put her up '' to calling on my behalf. He was very aggressive and demeaning and did not present any options for me to pay my debt. He did not state the amount of the debt or who the original collector was. He did not discuss the details of my collection and spent the majority of the conversation hurling insults. He was very unprofessional and hung up the phone on my boss who then immediately called back and requested to speak with the manager. The woman who answered the phone refused to identify " Extension 150 '' or a supervisor/manager and would not transfer my boss to anyone other than " Extension 150 ''. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 806 : '' A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 2 ) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader. " The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 802 also states : ( a ) There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. ( d ) Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce. It is my understanding that the FDCPA was intended to eliminate abusive debt XXXX and to protect consumers from them. I am now afraid to contact this company to try to pay my debt because to me if a person is able to speak to customers in such an abusive manner, it must be a fake company. If XXXX was n't listed in Florida 's XXXX of Corporations, I would think this man was a scammer. If you read reviews about this company on the internet, you will find countless incidents of unprofessional and unethical behavior by employees of this company. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX They even have an F on the Better Business Bureau.

The repeated attempts by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL and the debt collection agency Southern Management Systems is now considered harassment and it not resolved completely within 10 business days I will pursue legal action. The alleged debt is not owed and I fulfilled my obligation as a guarantor for my daughter on this apartment while she attended XXXX. My daughter is XXXX XXXX and the apartment complex initially tried to collect this bogus debt from her earlier in XXXX. After unsuccessful attempts to resolved the issue with the new leasing office manager at XXXX XXXX earlier this year ; we filed the requisite disputes and complaints and the collection item subsequently removed from her credit file ; however, they negatively impacted her credit score approximately 100 points for over 90-days. That is evident on the attached trend from XXXX on her credit file. That is relevant because the ongoing illegal efforts to collect a debt not owed and the collection item placed on my file Southern Management in XX/XX/XXXX has caused a drastic decline in my credit score. This is impeding approval for the purchase of a primary for my wife and I as we work with our mortgage broker from XXXX. I tried to resolve by contacting the XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX to no avail. XXXX worked with the leasing office manager at the time ( XXXX ) to execute the proper sublease of her room in the apartment to XXXX XXXX ; XXXX moved into the apartment on XX/XX/XXXX and we paid every rent due on time through XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX assuming the sublease in XXXX. XXXX remained in the apartment with all rents paid through XX/XX/XXXX and thus fully satisfying the lease obligation to XXXX XXXX. The leasing office manager has tried to falsely claim that XXXX did not sublease the apartment, but that can easily be disproved by the fact XXXX moved in and XXXX XXXX collected rents due from her from that period forward. I do not recall the name of the lady I spoke with in the leasing office who assumed the role after XXXX left the organization, but she well aware of the apartment transaction history. Not only have they knowingly tried to collect on debt not owed ; they subsequently issued a false statement to the debt collection agency Southern Management Systems mailing address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX. We have put three children through university, rented numerous apartments as they completed their education, we have impeccable credit with credit scores generally in the mid to high XXXX historically and have never walked away from a debt owed. This is not an issue of money ; we will provide our current bank balances to reflect that we could easily pay this debt off if it was legitimate. These apartment complexes and debt collection agencies operate a very deceiving tactic and tend to generally assume they will get a recovery or settlement by harassing, bullying, operating with intent to destroy the credit files of students and guarantors through their abusive practices. I have field disputes for the debt collection with each of the credit repositories : XXXX ( report # XXXX ) XXXX ( report # XXXX ) XXXX ( report # XXXX

On XXXX XXXX 2016 I attempted to rent an apartment locally in XXXX New Mexico, I was told by the apartment that I had a balance owed to a previous landlord and I must contact said XXXX XXXX XXXX to see if I could get balance paid off, on Monday XXXX XXXX I contacted the property management company and they told me that I must contact Southern Management Systems Inc to get a payment made to them. I contacted this company and spoke with a person by the name of XXXX XXXX, even though XXXX XXXX was very rude and condescending I chose to continue the call to see if I could resolve those debt so I can continue with my life. I offer him a settlement which he declined and mention that he would only accept XXXX as a settle for this XXXX dollar account. I promptly replied that I was sorry but I could not afford said amount at this time and XXXX XXXX rudely told " well there is nothing I can do for you, goodbye '' I tried to get a word in however he hung up the phone on me. Approximately 2 hours later I called again to see if I could offer to pay more to his company to resolve the issue, I made a total of XXXX phone calls before I was finally able to speak to someone, I was once again transferred to this rude person, I explained to him that I was advised by a lawyer to pay off this debt, he immediately cut me off and said " you have lawyer? '' Without letting me explain or respond he said " this call is over, I do not want to talk to you '' you have a lawyer and I do not want to deal with you '' he immediately hung up the phone in my face for the second time.which to me seems very suspicious to me, for someone to act like this with someone who is attempting to pay a debt. I was so appalled and distraught at how I was treated I felt like my whole world was spinning out of control and I was being mistreated and felt lower than a human being. Right after that conversation, I went online and looked up this company and there are countless complaints against these people for the way they treated debtors. I called this company 8 more times and in attempt to reach someone, on the 9th try I reach this receptionist who told me that upon looking at my file that it does n't seem like they would want to talk to me, I said I need to speak with someone to resolve this issue and make a payment, I was transferred to XXXX once more who seemed to be laughing at me trying to explain that I do not have a lawyer and all I wanted to do was pay my debt, he sarcastically replied, " I 've told you to not call here again, I do not want to talk to you, do not call us, I repeat do n't call us again, good bye XXXX. '' This company have treated me so unfairly when all I wanted to do was make a payment to them, this company has no right to treat me in this manner. They have lowered my self esteem and made me feel like I was nothing. They did all this, and still have not allowed me to pay off my balance on, they 're holding my life hostage and they 're holding me hostage, it seems like this is a joke to them. Please help me!!! All I want to do is pay these people so I can move on with my life and rent an apartment.

To whom it may concern : Please note that that this is not a refusal to pay off the account, but a notice sent as per the Fair Debt Collection practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ). The notice states that your claim is disputed and validation of the account is required. This notice is not a request for verification of the account or proof of my mailing address, but a request for validation made pursuant to the FDCPA laws. I humbly request that your agency/office sends me valid proof that I am legally obligated to pay you. Please provide me with the below mentioned things : * The amount you claim I owe you * Explain and show me how you have computed the amount * Send me the copies of any documents that prove I agreed to pay the alleged amount * Identify the original creditor * Confirm that the account has not crossed the SOL period * Prove that you're a licensed debt collector * Show me your license numbers and registered agent. I would like to inform you that in case your agency has reported invalidated account information to any of the 3 main Credit Bureau 's such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, then it will be regarded as a fraudulent action under both the federal and state laws. Due to this reason, if any negative item is reported to any of my credit reports by your agency or the agency that you represent, then I will be compelled to take legal steps against you for the below mentioned reasons : * Violation of the FCRA * Violation of the FDCPA * Defamation of character If your agency can provide me with the requested documents, I will need minimum 30 days to investigate this information, and during this period of time, all collection activities must be stopped. I would like to further inform you that if any action is taken ( during the validation period ) which could be regarded as detrimental to any of my credit reports, then I will seek advice from my attorney for lawsuit. This includes listing any information on a credit report that could be incorrect or invalidated, or confirming an account as correct when in fact there is no provided proof that it is. If your agency/company fails to respond to this debt validation request within a period of 30 days from the date of your receipt, then the account information must be completely deleted from my credit report, and a copy of such deletion request should be sent to me at once. I would also like to request, in writing, that no calls should be made by your agency or company at my residence or work place. If your agency attempts to make unlimited or computer generated calls to me or any third parties, then it will be considered harassment, and I will have no option but to file lawsuit. All future communications with me should be done in writing and sent to the address mentioned in this letter. It would be advisable that you assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

In XX/XX/XXXX, I was Evicted from my apartment after two years of living there and paying on time. They gave me no consideration before moving forward with evicting me. In XXXX the Item showed up on my credit report from Southern Managment systems. I was later contacted by the company asking when I would pay the debt. I explained to them that I need a list stating what is owed. They stated they would comply. I reviewed it and although I did not agree with all the items I did not know what else to do. I offered to settle the debt for all the money I had. 1100 . They denied the amount stating, " The original debtor would not accept it. '' I stated if the amount is sent to them or " Charged off '' then they are the ones who are responsible for the debt, not the original apartment complex. Even so, if that the case I should be able to speak directly with the complex as I don't see the point in having a middleman. Well, that's where it prompted me to do my research on consumer debt. The company " Southern Management Systems states they are a debt collector. This would mean the apartment complex sold my debt to them so now I owe them. The problem is Southern Management Systems doe not have a valid business license. According to Florida Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 559.553 Registration of consumer collection agencies required : ( 1 ) After January 1, 1994, no person shall engage in business in this state as a consumer collection agency or continue to do business in this state as a consumer collection agency without first registering in accordance with this part, and thereafter maintaining a valid registration. ( 2 ) Each consumer collection agency doing business in this state shall register with the office and renew such registration annually as set forth in s. 559.555. This means this company has ZERO business operating in the state of Florida. To make matters worse, You can never get in contact with anyone at the office to discuss or resolve your issues. This company often purchases from low-income communities. They buy the debt expecting the tenants limited income and access to resources to be used against them. They have so many court cases against them ranging from violating Florida Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 559.72 Prohibited practices generally : ( Claim, attempt, or threaten to enforce a debt when such person knows that the debt is not legitimate or assert the existence of some other legal right when such person knows that the right does not exist ) to Florida Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 559.715 Assignment of consumer debts.This part does not prohibit the assignment, by a creditor, of the right to bill and collect a consumer debt. However, the assignee must give the debtor written notice of such assignment within 30 days after the assignment. The assignee is a real party in interest and may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to collect a debt that has been assigned to such assignee and is in default.

I was unaware of a debt I had with my old apartment complex. I was taken to collection back in XXXX, I was never given a written notice nor was I ever contacted by phone. I have noticed the collection on my report and immediately called the company to see why no attempt was made and the debt collector was very rude over the phone telling me that because I said I was unaware and I was not going to pay something I did not know was on my credit since there were no attempts to collect, she rudely told me well you are being recorded and I said I am aware. I called back trying to settle for less than the amount because to my understanding I did not owe that much, I was told they can only settle for {$940.00} on a {$1200.00} debt which again I'm not sure why I'm getting charged this much. I was told they would do that and no less and if I wanted it to be less I would have to requested by a letter. I wrote a letter and brought it to their office and the receptionist was very rude while receiving it stating that because I have desputed I have to wait 30 days per company policy to hear back from the company about my dispute. This is the response that I'm getting even though I'm saying I have the money to settle. I called today ( XX/XX/2020 ) and the receptionist rudely told me I have to wait 30 days for their decision saying I brung the letter on the XXXX of XXXX of the current year when I brung it on the XXXX, she stated " well you brung it only three days ago so you have to give us 30 days ''. This people are highly unprofessional and their collection ethics are not right. Again, I contacted the company and there has been no attempt to collect in any form even though they have my phone number and current address, I am being told about this debt without any kind of written explanation to what I'm getting charged for or anything. I am simply requesting to settle for half of the amount and they are absolutely just making it impossible for me to settle this with them. This company is very disrespectful to their clients and should not be in business. Just by reading the XXXX reviews you can tell everyone is experiencing the same issues because they just don't care about Fair Debt collecting and they want to make you think that you have no other options but to pay them and not dispute. One of the collectors told me " well that's going to stay on your credit unless you pay it, she said if " you don't want to pay it is fine is your credit ''. That's not a way of talking to someone. And today XX/XX/2020 their receptionist told me because my letter states they have 15 days to give me an answer and they take 30 she said " you can withdraw your offer, that's fine ''. These people don't care about the consumer and they treat everyone like they are nothing. Someone needs to do something about this company. Below I will be attaching some XXXX reviews of other people who also has dealt with the same issues as me as well as a photo of my written letter.

For months this company has been reporting inaccurate, unverifiable erroneous things on my credit report and ruining my credit score and I am sick of it. This company has ruined my credit score so bad I got denied a loan for my house!! Now I can not provide for my family because of these derogatory marks. These medical bills and other derogatory collection accounts listed on my credit report, are incorrect and NOT mine. Simply verifying that someone used my name, social security number and/or address is insufficient to confirm that I am the person in question and owe this debt. The court has ruled that in Hinkle v. Midland Credit Management , Inc., that during a dispute and subsequent investigation with the original creditor, collector or a credit bureau, that the original creditor or collector, must provide account-level documentation that would hold up when presented to a jury. That means an original contract or similar proof. To this end, I am demanding an itemized bill to be sent to me! The account information that this company is providing can not be proven because they do not have the original signed document saying that I owe them a debt which is A direct violation of my CIVIL RIGHTS according to the FCRA section 609. This company must remove their account from my credit reports immediately and permanently. A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION. Please be advised I have requested validation { not verification } of an item reported to you by the above original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that does not indicate or prove : 1. I had this service. 2. What services I am being charged for. 3. What the cost of each service I am being charged for. A response with a bill is NOT evidence of proof that the debt is mine. Anyone can open an account under my name for which a bill is produced, but that doesn't mean it was actually me or that the debt is actually mine. I need real evidence. This evidence consists of a contract from the original creditor or some agreement bearing MY written signature agreeing to pay the debt. In the absence of this evidence I ask you to please remove this account from my credit report. I will proceed with legal action as prescribed by law against the above-named original creditor/collection agency. Should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law I will seek every legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation. I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously. A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION.

After living at a college apartment for a fews years i found myself in trouble paying my rent while attending school. me and the property manager were very close, so several months before getting evicted the manager asked me to attend a meeting with her and a former employee. this meeting was set in place to ask me to work for them to clear my debt with them, she understood i had been there for awhile and was willing to exchange services. the apartment was transitioning to a new name and they needed marketing pictures and video and because i'm a professional photographer she saw an opportunity for the both of us. weeks went by and i stopped hearing from her. she stopped messaging me and later that caused me to become evicted. i was done wronged and manipulated, because she left her management position with no notice. this was in XXXX. Southern Management Systems ( the furnisher ) had been communicating with me and as a young individual i had no clue on how to deal with this unfairness. i was told many times by the collector to talk to the apartment complex in which i did. that wasn't helpful because they kept telling me there was nothing they could do. i finally wrote a letter to the furnisher to dispute what i felt was an unfair collection. i mailed full details showcasing conversations i had with the manager and the dates and times. this dispute letter was mailed XX/XX/XXXX. i know they have 30 days to respond to the dispute so i waited and waited to only find out on XX/XX/XXXX that they did not have my information and files anymore and that it was sent back to the apartment complex! that was very disturbing. i asked for more information, and they knew nothing at all and told me to call the apartment because they couldn't help anymore. XX/XX/XXXX the apartment manager remembered me and expressed how confused she was about the situation and that she knew nothing about it. the same day i received an email from the apartment manager that said " this was an agreed judgment for possession. according to my notes, {$1300.00} was owed as of XX/XX/XXXX '' the apartment manager told me that she hasn't spoken with the collector on their reasoning for them sending it back and to reach out to their attorney. XX/XX/XXXX i reached out to the apartment attorney and was only able to leave a detailed message. it has been a few days now with no call back. i have been dealing with this for a long time with no one willing to give me proper information. p.s i renewed my lease and never received my incentive for doing so. they continued to act as if they didn't have the cruise tickets i was suppose receive. i will attach the promotion that states what the portion is for. Thanks

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made contact with Southern Management Systems, out of XXXX, Florida so that I could finally start making payment arrangements with the company to start paying off this debt. This debt was put onto my credit 6 months, after being forced to break my lease with my prior apartment complex due to Job Loss and being unemployed for quite some time. I spoke to XXXX at extension XXXX and explained my situation, and updated him on the changes and advised that we were now in a position to start making payments in small increments every other week or every week, working around other bills. He then asked me if I was able to make the half of the balance payment in order to negotiate for a smaller balance. I told him that right now, that was not possible and that we needed to take things slow. He understood. He then advised me that I could go ahead and just start mailing in payments as I saw fit every week. I told him that I would not mail in money orders, because money orders tend to get stolen and it takes weeks to get it back. I then told him that I needed to make my payments online, and he said that was fine. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have made 8 other calls to try and make payments on their sms-collects.com website, which goes through a 3rd party, with no success. It keeps telling me to verify my account number and pin number and try again. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been in constant contact with XXXX at XXXX XXXX and he's told me that they don't know why I am getting that error and said they checked with their clerical department who also could not tell me why I was getting that error. The last call I made to XXXX was on XX/XX/XXXX, and I left a voicemail stating my frustration and that I really needed some help on this. I told them I want to pay them. I have not received a call back since and today is XX/XX/XXXX. So, Since I have made a total of 9 calls and can't get an answer back on this, I would like to file a complaint, because it seems like they do not want to help someone who is willing to pay on their debt and if they can not even return phone calls or fix their website, then I am not willing to possibly sacrifice XXXX XXXX dollars in money orders, in the mail for it to possibly get stolen. This company has been in business since XXXX!!! It is unbelievable to me that they can not accept payments over the phone or give their debtors a reliable website to make their payments on, when everything is done for the most part, electronically now. So either they fix their website, or take a payment from me over the phone, Or, I am not paying this debt AND they need to remove it completely across all 3 of my credit reports, IMMEDIATELY!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the amount of debt ( XXXX ) that southern management system is currently attempting to collect from me. After reviewing the information provided by your agency, I have discovered that the amount being claimed is inaccurate and does not align with my records. Upon receiving your collection notice, I immediately began to investigate the debt in question. After thorough review, I have confirmed that the amount being pursued by your agency does not match the original debt that I owe ( XXXX ). I have kept detailed records of all my financial transactions, and I can assure you that the amount being claimed is incorrect. I am requesting that your agency provide a breakdown of the debt, clearly outlining how the amount has been calculated. It is important for me to understand how the total has been determined in order to address this matter accurately. I would also appreciate any documentation or evidence that supports the debt amount being pursued. In addition, I would like to bring to your attention that I have not received any prior communication regarding this debt. It is important for me to understand the origin of this debt and any prior attempts to contact me regarding it. I believe that as a consumer, I have the right to be informed about any debt and to receive proper documentation before being pursued for payment. I would like to emphasize that I am not disputing the existence of the original debt, but rather the amount that is currently being claimed by your agency. I am committed to addressing my financial obligations, but it is crucial that the correct and accurate amount is established before any further action is taken. I am kindly requesting that your agency cease all collection activities until the accuracy of the debt amount has been verified and provided to me in writing. I believe that this is a reasonable request and falls within my rights as a consumer under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I am prepared to cooperate fully to resolve this matter, but I must insist on having the proper information and documentation regarding the debt in question. I hope to resolve this issue amicably and promptly, and I trust that your agency will work with me in good faith to reach a fair and accurate resolution. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter. Please address all correspondence regarding this dispute to the address listed below. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

In calling SOUTHERN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS XXXX yesterday, XX/XX/2019 at XXXX XXXX operator did not want to assist me in a well and professional matter. She answered very rudely, I explained that I am a XXXX XXXX with a non-profit organization and this female operator abruptly answered very rudely saying that this agency doesn't communicate with 3rd parties and hung up the call. I called once again to clarify details and that my client was present and wanted to speak with a XXXX speaking rep. Using a very strong and rude tone she says that member needs to call from private number in order to get services and then she hung up on me again. I do not deserve to be spoken to in that matter, I was disrespected and offended. My client got very upset as to why this agency couldn't assist since she only speaks XXXX. Once my client called from personal cell phone number, the same female operator didn't want to transfer her to a XXXX speaking rep since operator believed that my client was speaking descent English. I believe she was discriminating my client and not providing well customer service. After my client persisting to speak with XXXX speaking rep, she was transferred. Today, XX/XX/2019 at XXXX XXXX I wanted to put in a complaint with them directly. Apparently my work phone number has been flagged, I called and no respond was given and call was hung up. I made a second call, same female operator from yesterday answered and I initially asked to speak with management, she asked if I had an account there and I said no. Operator right away asked for my name and number and states " Aren't you the same person that kept calling many times yesterday? ". She was rude once again and said there is no manager available to assist me. I would like for someone to take a look into this matters. Since this agency does record phone calls, I suggest for an investigation to be done. This operator doesn't seem qualified enough to carry a respectful and professional conversation. If she is treating clients on the phone this way, it only causes them to not want to come in contact with agency. Please have this in your consideration, no one deserves to be disrespected or discriminated like this female operator did to myself and my client.

Southern Managament third party for ( XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX ) attempted to claim their is a balance due for {$9100.00} for a apartment I rented in XXXX XXXX Florida XXXX I moved out of the apartment for job relocation. I provied them all information they needed include written letter i was leaving. date included. I forefitted all security deposit as well as i paid the rent for the time the apartment was not rented which was two months. Their claiming their were damages of this amount for the apartment. The apartment complex never notified me of this owned amount. I received harrassing calls begining 12 months after leaving stating this debt was owned. I communicated several attempts with this collection agency to provide the proof of information that would validate the debt. They flat out refused- any settlement offers i have made during that time of XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX they refused. Even offered settlement when they could not prove the debt or the details of damages. I contacted the property manager myself and went to property in which they no longer had any information or record of me living there and could not provide information either. I submited a dispute with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX via online dispute stated the dispute was closed- however I did not realize this was stated the dispute was already closed when it goes into collection. I was attempting to resolve this and have it removed was the purpose so i choose the wrong tactic on website. The company is called Souther Management Company. I have been attempting to resolve this debt for over 7 years. This company in the beginning called and harrassed and threaten to damage credit report, hold funds, hold tax returns, contact banking center i bank with and withdrawl money. I have not been in contact with them because of their bullying tactics. They have never sent information to me concerning this debt- or the detailed report i have asked for several times. I receive one email from them stating that the debt was valid but no other information.

I received a phone call on XX/XX/XXXX from Southern Management Systems , Inc. They informed me they were a debt collection agency working on behalf of XXXX at XXXX and/or XXXX at XXXX in regards to an apartment lease agreement from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This is an apartment complex my daughter lived in college. They claimed there was an unpaid charge for {$230.00} in damages to repaint the bedroom and bathroom and part of the common areas along with an unreturned door remote. I explained I was unaware of any charges and I had not received any notices They went further to inform me that collection notices had been going to the wrong address. I further informed her that I was a listed guarantor on the lease contract that had contained my correct address. They acknowledged having no record of providing a notice of a debt prior to XX/XX/XXXX, nearly 1 1/2 years later. The collection woman demanded immediate payment or she would file it on my credit report. I requested that she send me an invoice for my review. I was sent a collection letter dated XX/XX/XXXX of which I did not receive until XX/XX/XXXX. The Guarantee Agreement was attached that had my correct address all along. Upon receipt of the letter, I pulled my credit report to find they reported it on my credit the next day on XX/XX/XXXX. I find this to be an abusive collection tactic and these people should be investigated. This is a deceptive company that is not playing by the rules. They knowingly filed this on my credit report as leverage to collect a debt that I was not provided the ability to dispute. My daughter lived in this apartment for 2 years along with 3 other girls. The lease was renewed for a 2nd year term and therefore paint touch up of {$230.00} should be considered normal wear and tear on a {$19000.00} lease payment term. In summary, I was not provided the ability to dispute this claim until after the fact, but they still filed this on my credit report with full knowledge they had not provided an invoice.

When i first moved out i was told i could pay the bill online with any card. I get the bill and call the office shortly after to notify that my account is not active. The employee told me that most accounts do not close immediately, mine was acting weird. So the employee tells me that one of the managers of something ( could be technology or business ) would fix my account so i could pay the bill online. I give it about a week or two and try to login again, but to no avail i could not login. I get no phone call notifying me that the employees did their job. I call again and they said that the last person had given me false information because once an account closes they can not open it again. Why would someone tell me i could pay the bill online if that wasnt true to begin with? I digress, the person on the phone then tells me I have two options : the first being send a money order in. The second being to come in with a card and i could pay it this way. I work full time so coming in wasnt an option until today. So I come in today and the person working informs me that everything I was told prior to today was not correct and THE ONLY WAY I COULD PAY IS BY COMING IN WITH A MONEY ORDER not online with a card, not in person with a card, and not through mail with a money order. Then I call a week before it was due and the same employee I first talked to answered. I tell the employee ( XXXX ) my situation and he said he doesn't know why any of the employees gave me the information I received, when he was one of those employees. The company is XXXX XXXX XXXX. Look up reviews on the management and employees theyre known to be horrible. I emailed the company an email similar to this that expressed more frustration but no response. I would provide documentation but apparently my account doesnt exist, and all my encounters happened via phone call or in person. P.S I'm rereading some of the reviews on the complex and it seems as if XXXX isn't the greatest of managers

To Whom It May Concern ; I would like your office to investigate the following. I paid in full an amount owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in California, which was submitted to a third party collection agency, XXXX XXXX. In addition to the payment, I made 4 copies of the money order as proof of payment, because I knew I could n't rely on the collection agency to report the payment to the bureaus and have it removed from my profile. I mailed it to the collection agency and the 3 credit reporting bureaus on X/XX/17. As of today X/X/17 the debt is still listed on my XXXX XXXX profile as unpaid. Additionally, I filed a dispute with all 3 bureaus regarding a co-borrower account that belonged to my son, who did not have my written authorization to use me as a co-borrower. Nor did the apartment complex XXXX XXXX have my signed authorization to use my information as a co-borrower. If they would have had my full and complete information the transaction would not have gone through. The apartment complex has not and can not furnish any proof of my written consent, yet they still insist the debt is mine. My son has since paid the debt in full ; yet the collection agency Southern Management and the apartment complex refuse to remove the account for my profile. It seems like the collection agency is looking to get paid twice. Which I 'm sure is a common practice with collection agencies. Both of these are having a negative impact on my credit score and I am determined to get all of my debts paid off. The 3 credit reporting agencies and the collection agencies are n't acting in the best interest of me as a consumer, because they are not enforcing the rules and regulations which require the fair and accurate reporting of my debts and payments. If you could look into and help me resolve this matter I would be grateful. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I did signed as a grantor for a lease to one XXXX XXXX who longer longer live on the property [ he did told before he moved out that he has paid all outstanding debt ] until a collection agency [ Southern Managmentent Systems-+XXXX XXXX XXXX ] contacted me saying he not honored payment to an amount {$1000.00} and told me all their attempts to get XXXX failed.I did provide them with XXXX phone number and they confirmed he has acknowledged the debt and will make first payment on the XXXX/XXXX/15.Before this, southern management has gone ahead to place the debt on my records, their reason-they called me several times and could not reached me.When XXXX failed the honor the XXXX/XXXX/15 deadline one XXXX southern management systems called that, since XXXX failed I should start paid.I did paid {$120.00} with him agreeing to contact XXXX for payment of the rest.In XXXX I did not hear from XXXX of his efforts to getting XXXX to pay the rest of the money, I did paid {$220.00} anyways.Today XXXX/XXXX/15 I did respond to a missed calls from XXXX, in our talk I asked XXXX to tell me what efforts has has made so far to get the money from XXXX and also to removed the collection from my records since that collection report has made it difficult for me to make money [ can not longer trade stocks ] to paid off the debt.He told me he was not ready to do that and therefore report will remain in my records-he does n't care and hang up on me.Prior to this XXXX XXXX has always used verbal threats as mode of communication when he does n't want to answer my questions.He told me once his company does n't accept cheques ( which was my prefer payment option ) as a mode of payment, my checks on the company 's website proof this not be true-I have since told him he liar and any future liar to me will not be taken lightly.

Southern management systems collection company reported a debt of {$5200.00} on my credit report with hideaway north as the original creditor. I disputed this amount with the credit bureau and they dropped the inflated amount to {$3000.00}. I further went ahead and negotiated the debt with southern management systems down to {$2200.00} with the agreement that southern management systems will remove this debt completely from my credit report and the original creditor hideaway north will withdraw their petition for a civil lawsuit against me.. I paid off the whole balance of {$2200.00} in one payment on XXXX/XXXX/2016. Southern management systems informed me upon payment that the next day XXXX/XXXX/2016, they southern management systems will report the debt to be deleted. Contrary to what the told me they went ahead and reported the debt on XXXX/XXXX/2016 as still being owed and as a result of that XXXX is refusing to remove this from my credit report even though I have sent them a letter showing the balance as paid off and showing a categoric request by southern management systems to have this account absolutely deleted from my credit report. The credit bureau can confidently confirm that on XXXX/XXXX/2016 southern management systems reported the debt as still being owed and the recorded conversation between me and the staff at southern management will also confirm their insistence on the fact that on XXXX/XXXX/2016 they reported the account as paid and to be deleted of my credit report. They have been intentionally lying to me when they know they have reported the debt as unpaid but then keep telling me the opposite. I have spent hours on the phone with both the credit bureaus and the collection company and the collection company refuses to honour our agreement.

Southern Management Systems holds a debt from a previous landlord in XXXX, TX. Due to this open collections, I am unable to rent an apartment. Although I disputed the validity of the debt ( I was tricked into signing a year lease in addition to the summer lease although they knew it was a great possibility of me relocating due to my employment ) with the apartment complex, their corporate office, and Southern Management Systems no resolution was met. The apartments charged me outrageous late fees and other fees although I had vacated the premises, provided notice, and paid out through the XX/XX/XXXX lease. I recently called Southern Management Systems and inquired for a fax and email address for their office manager because he would not return my phone calls. They refused to provide one. When the office manager finally called me, I inquired as to how to make a payment. He stated am I paying the full amount and I said no. He inquired about the remainder of the balance, I told him it was none of his business. He then stated he would not accept any amount from except the full balance or 80 % of the balance paid in one lump sum. He refused to provide ANY information on how to send a payment in. I find it interesting that the collection agency wo n't accept any amount to be paid towards the debt, and feel if they do n't want any of the money then I should n't be responsible for any of the debt ( although I was tricked into the debt in the first place ), and that the open collections should be removed from my credit report. Southern Management Systems is unprofessional and use negative tactics with debtors. Some form of action needs to be taken against this collection agency.

I called Southern Management Systems in an attempt to pay off the debt that is listed on my credit report. I called the number listed, and spoke with an operator who took down my name and number and said that she would give it to the person who I need to talk to and they would contact me. The gentlemen then called me back and said that I owed {$1200.00} and that he would settle for XXXX % which was {$930.00} but would just make it an even {$900.00} and remove it from my credit report. I said ok, will you send me a letter or some sort of confirmation of this agreement stating that if I pay {$900.00} then you will remove it from my credit. He responded " No I will not do that. '' I asked how I am supposed to believe him or have proof that that is what he said and he kept saying that he wo n't do it and then proceeded to call me a " liar. '' I asked how I am a liar and he said I just lie and that 's what I do. I 'm not really sure what that had to do with anything at all, but I just asked for proof again and he said after I pay him he will. I said I wo n't pay you until you give me some sort of proof of agreement first and he then said he was going to hang up on me and he did. I just want to get this taken care of and I do n't know how else I can do that if they wo n't even accept my payment. It should be standard for someone to ask for a written agreement of some kind and he completely refused. I do n't feel comfortable paying {$900.00} and running the chance of him going back and saying he did n't say that and not removing it from my credit. I also need proof of payment for a new apartment that I am trying to get.

Over the past year i have received multiple phones calls and letters from southern management systems. They reference a move out fee for an apartment I rented during college over 3 years ago. This particular move out/ cleaning fee was optionally paid during the beginning of my lease, namely the " express checkout fee '' option. I had paid this fee upon move in and thus they are not entitled to it again upon checkout. I have told them this over the phone multiple times to only receive a response of " mail us a copy of your lease proving that it has been paid ''. I certainly do not keep a copy of my lease of a college apartment from 3 years ago and after calling the apartment company they did not have a copy on file as they have changed electronic systems between this time period. I assume that during the change over it did not transfer that I had paid this " express checkout fee ''. After several more fairly aggressive conversations with representatives of southern management systems, where i am simply trying to explain the situation and get information about their claims, I made a statement that if it was necessary to take this to court I would be more than willing to. At which point the person I was speaking with stated that all further communication would have to be through mailed letters with their PO box . During this entire ordeal they never provided any evidence that the debt was legitimate, refused to communicate openly, and have threatened me with credit damage. If I do contact them by written letter I will be providing an attached invoice for my time they have wasted.

Leased a " dormatory '' from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, the school required me to leave, without moving contents, due to XXXX. They could not, and did not offer any housing solution. I was basically on the street with my backpack. The Lease states that it is terminated IF XXXX XXXX is unable to provide adequate housing. I understand the circumstances to terminate the lease. I have quoted the portion of the lease to XXXX as proof of this understanding. XXXX housing continues to attempt to collect the balance of the terminated lease. I don't owe them anything, yet the continued to the point today, they have a collections agency attempting to collect the debt. This is a fraudulent claim against me and it needs to be removed from my credit report. This is making me get rejected from apartment homes, thus leaving me unable to secure a home. This is damaging my credit, so when I apply for a home mortgage, i will surely get a higher interest rate. I consider these real damages caused by their fraudulent claim. I have formally communicated the dispute of this claim to the XXXX agency ; Southern Management Systems Inc . Yet, they continue to call my cell phone and leaving messages. I have communicated to them that I consider further attempts to collect this false debt to be harassment. Again, this position has been documented to them formally. I don't wish to be worked by them continuously. They need to start paying for my time to deal with this. XXXX housing has the lease and can look at Section 43B. = Lease Terminated XXXX XXXX

Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didn't make sure it was reporting XXXX correct. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.s Code 1681i ( 5 ) this account is in severe violation of not reporting 100 % accurate. The credit reporting agencies stated that these accounts were properly investigated and came back as verified. However, how is this true when there are several inaccuracies showing on my report? How is that I made no promise to make payments on this account and instead paid it through a settlement agreement and it has been reporting severely past due since 2017. This account, might I add was agreed to be deleted and was deleted only to be put back days later. This account/agency has misrepresented the date of status or last activity ( XXXX ) to re-age the account for any reason such 1. Attempting to modify the credit bureaus statue of limitations on reporting ( 7-10 ) 2. Attempting to modify my statues of limitations for a lawsuit 3. Attempting to increase score damage and coerce payment by making the debt appear newer in age Which are all violations of my rights. As a consumer, I request to know all steps your agency took to insure this item is 100 % accurate under 15 U.S.C & 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification-Description of reinvestigation.

I made contact with the creditor first on XX/XX/2018 to discuss my account. I was informed by the creditor that my account had been sent for collection with Southern Management Systems , Inc. I attempted to contact Southern Management Systems , Inc. to discuss my account. I was told the only way I would be able to discuss my account would be through my attorney, in writing or I could pay the account in full. The person I spoke with was very short with me. She would not listen when I tried to explain that I never had a conversation with anyone in that office indicating that I had an attorney. On XX/XX/2018, I requested in writing, a copy of any attempted correspondence with me, from their office informing me that my account had been placed for collection with that company. I asked for a response within 5 business days. When I did not get a response, I sent another letter acknowledging the debt and a pay-off schedule. I received a response from Southern Management Systems , Inc. on XX/XX/2018. In the letter the company stated that they were responding to my request to dispute and cease communication. None of this information is true, being the company never provided me the information that I requested. Since I was not provided with the information I requested, I have no idea when my account was placed for collection. The account has been reported to the credit bureau as a dispute. On XX/XX/2018, I sent the company another letter demanding that they correct the false information reported to the credit bureau or remove it.

Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX. I am reaching out about fraud on my credit in the amount of {$2900.00}. The problem is with SOUTHERN MANAGEMENT SYST - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I moved out a few years ago due to black mold. I informed management about the mold multiple times, and they did nothing. The grout, drywall, and framing was full of black mold to the point where it made me sick. They would come paint over spots where the mold came through the drywall from the back with REGULAR paint. This is obviously not enough to fix mold behind the drywall or in the wood of the frame ... I moved out without paying the last few months of rent because FL law states that a landlord must provide a livable environment in order for the lease terms to remain valid. I ran air tests of multiple types, all of them came back showing toxic levels of airborne spores. I have tried to contact them multiple times about this. I never curse, I am polite, I let them talk. I just want to get this resolved because it affecting my credit & it was blatantly wrong. The office people are rude at XXXX XXXX and SOUTHERN MANAGEMENT SYST hang up on me as soon as I bring up mold. Both companies/entities are awful & I am not the only one having these problems. A quick XXXX search will easily show that they have done the same to dozens - if not hundreds of other people. The fact that the company hasn't been shut down, and XXXX XXXX hasn't been torn down is horrific. I need help getting this resolved properly. Thanks!

I am a previous XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the XXXX XXXX ), I was terminated without given reason on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not have previous write ups or disciplinary action on record, ( I did request my personnel file from HR via email and was told they would let me have it once it was put together and I never received it ) I showed up on the XXXX and was let go. I applied for XXXX benefits on XXXX XXXX XXXX, my former employer disputed it however I was able to send proof the XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) showing that the reason they gave wasnt true and couldnt be true. I was granted XXXX benefits on XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX stated after investigation that I was not terminated for a reason that is related to misconduct in the workplace. I moved out of my apartment on XXXX XXXX XXXX. Before being approved for my benefits I had already been moved out of the XXXX system without any charges. After I was approved for my benefits the XXXX revised my move out and put a move out date of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which is not accurate ) and then applied over {$1000.00} in charges on the move out statement and immediately sent it to collections. This act by my previous employer was retaliation against me due to me being approved and receiving XXXX at their expense. This has created a grievance on me that is undue and wrong. I have provided all this information to southern management which is the collection agency that they use and still nothing has been done.

The collection agency have been unable to verify this debt lawfully. They are trying to collect on behalf of their client XXXX AT XXXX XXXX for a non sufficient fee and some alleged amount of {$290.00} they claim I owe to them. However, I would like to say that I didnt pay with a check so forth I never had a return payment and I shouldnt be charged an Non Sufficient Fee like they claim, the amount of {$150.00} is not applicable, the amount of {$140.00} was disputed by me on the credit card I used to pay an application fee because I felt an improper and discriminatory practice against me and I have all the legal rights as a consumer to do so, but unfortunately my claim got rejected by the bank and the money was paid to them. Furthermore the charges on the invoice they had attached on the validation letter are not valid/legit, I never lived in this place so I I should not have a balance at move-out charge for {$98.00}. That being said Im not obligated to pay off this debt that they unlawfully alleged I owe to them and their trying to collect. I have bank statements and proof from my bank that the money was paid to them. In addition I never receive a notice of debt and the only time they call me they claimed that they didn't call to argue with me and they hang up when I try to ask for more details about the money they were trying to collect.

On XX/XX/2023, I logged into XXXX XXXX to discover that I had a derogatory mark on my credit for the amount of {$400.00}. Upon inspection, this mark was due to an outstanding balance owed to Southern Management Systems. Several months ago I received phone calls everyday from a number that was unknown. Voicemails were repeatedly left that did not clarify what the calls were regarding. They simply stated " Southern Management Systems. '' I ignored these calls because I believed they were fraudulent and that I was being harassed by a scammer. I never received notification that I had an outstanding debt with Southern Management Systems or the issuer of this debt to Southern Management Systems. I was never sent or provided verifiable information that this debt belonged to me. This is illegal. I need to be notified that I have a debt that was issued to a debt collector in order to take the next steps. I have no idea how long this debt has been outstanding. I am not happy with this collector and their failure to provide due diligence. I am also unhappy with the failure to notify me of what Southern Management Systems is and why they have been repetitively contacting me. Additionally, I was never provided an account number by the debt collector to verify that the debt was mine or the ability to pay it off.

Southern Management Company nor XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX never contacted me regarding my collection account. In fact, earlier this year I had a collection account deleted due to them not verifying specific information related to the collection account. So, you can see that I was shocked to find another collection account placed on my account without me receiving any information. Southern Management Systems contacted me on two different occasions, however, after I asked who they were they hung up the phone on me not stating the reason for the call. As you can see in the attached documents they had my wrong address even though before I left the complex I gave them my forwarding address. In addition, when I left I did not receive a walk-through of my apartment, so, therefore, how do I know that these charges are accurate? Since this collection came on my report a few months ago I have moved again and I still have not received any correspondence from them as well as XXXX XXXX for the accuracy of this report. It has been 2 years since I moved from there, and I am trying to figure out how they can place this on my account without any accurate information. I demand for this inaccuracy to be removed from my report and to notify Southern Management Systems and XXXX XXXX of their discrepancies.

The XXXX at XXXX XXXX entered into a lease for my son a college. I signed the lease. Each unit has 4 bedrooms with 1 common area. The utilities are included up to a dollar amount and then overages are passed on to the 4 tenants equally. After 6 months the other three units were vacated and the XXXX started applying the overage to only our lease even though they had locked the other rooms and would have been their responsibility to heat and cool. My son went down to the leasing office for the first 3 months and the charges were reversed. About that time they started having management problems and the managers were changed twice. We called and and my son visited the office repeatedly to rectify the matter of {$120.00}. They would never give us a number for the parent company to speak to someone that could actually make a decision and they always passed it off and would never address the matter. At which point they turned it over to collections of which I never received a notice to be able to even address the matter and now it has shown up on my credit report for {$290.00} with no notification or such to be able to address the matter. I have no recourse other that to sue the rental company of which I can't get any information on, three states over for ruination of my credit.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I asked Southern Management Systems to validate a debt I supposedly owe them, but they did not properly validate the debt made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As part of validating this debt, I asked for an agreement with your client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt, agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he/she agreed to pay the creditor, any insurance claims been made by any creditor regarding this account, any Judgments obtained by any creditor regarding this account, name and address of alleged creditor, name on file of alleged debtor, alleged account number, address on file for alleged debtor, amount of alleged debt, date this alleged debt became payable, date of original charge off or delinquency, verification that this debt was assigned or sold to collector, complete accounting of alleged debt, commission for debt collector if collection efforts are successful. Southern Management Systems failed to provide me with these documents along with an agreement with my signature stating that I agree to pay them any money. Also, the letter I was sent has two different names and an unknown address on it making this debt invalidated and unverifiable.

Apartment company is claiming false property damage done to apartments in order to collect money via withholding from rental deposits or billing the tenants. We have video proof showing no damage was done but the property management company subsequently turned in a claim to a property management collection agency who is now harassing us. Note, this property is for housing primarily for XXXX XXXX University students and they are trying to falsely charge the student and parents hoping they will blindly pay. I requested all of the following information be provided to me by mail and I did not receive it : 1. The amount of the alleged debt ; 2. The full name and mailing address of the original creditor for this alleged debt ; 3. Documentation showing you have verified that I am responsible for this debt, or a copy of any judgment ; 4. Documentation showing you are licensed to collect debts in Iowa. Because they have reported this debt to credit bureaus and continued to harass me, continuing to pursue this false debt they are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Attached are the notifications requesting they cease from harassing me for a false claim as well as a link to the video of the undamaged property, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am submmiting this complain about a collection on my credit report placed by Southern Management Systems , Inc. for XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was looking for apartment in XXXX 2016 and was interested in XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, but later on my plan changed and I was no longer moving to XXXX. XXXX did sent me the lease contract for me to sign, but because I didn't have my guarantor sign his portion, the lease was not completed, which XXXX said that '' your lease is not complete until the guarantor portion of the lease paperwork has passed '' in their email too. However, few months later, I saw a collection placed on my credit report with a balance of {$2300.00}, and I start to receive harassing calls from the collection company, Southern Management System. I had no idea what was going on with this collection, so I called XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and they said because I have a lease signed. I explained to them that I never have the lease completed and I never moved in, they did not give me any resonable explaination.Their word was against what they said in the email, and they did not give me any notification before they illegally sell my information to the collection complay, Southern Management System. This is unacceptable.

I asked you POLITELY to read the attachment below which is my credit report showing the account you report. If you have conducted a reasonable investigation.

On XX/XX/2013, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, an apartment complex leased a unit showing me as a co-signer/guaranty on the lease. I did not authorize nor sign the guaranty. They did this without any identification. They have referred the debt to a collection agency who has put in on my credit report as in collections. I have disputed this to the collection agency as well as on my credit report ( XXXX XXXX ). I am trying to get a mortgage loan and I had to temporarily lift the dispute so that the mortgage company can get an accurate credit score. This account should not be on my credit report. I have written XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) and they have refused to remove the collection from my credit report. I sent them proof to show that this was not my signature and also my address on the guaranty was not correct. How can a company hold me responsible for a debt when they did not seek identification to certify the co-signer. The amount shown on the guaranty letter is XXXX but the amount on XXXX XXXX is XXXX. I am not responsible for this. The leasing agent was negligent in not securing identification and should not have processed this.

This complaint is against XXXX XXXX XXXX which started back in 2016 in which they placed a {$2500.00} charge on me and my sons credit and we have both filed several complaints to the credit agencies with no results and I actually filed a complaint with the XXXX and they never responded to this agencies request. So we found they are claiming that we left the apartment without proper notice and that we trashed the place as well. We gave them advanced notice and we didn't leave the place in a mess. The apartment that I moved into after leaving XXXX XXXX called them to verify that I was in good standing before signing my contract. Southern Management services was hired to collect the debt all they did was just place this account on both our credit reports but both parties avoided the XXXX and did not respond. We are just trying to get this resolved because it has been over XXXX and a half years on our credit history so I hope that you can help us with our problems.. also they are only going to send you what they want you to see because we know that they are hiding something and they have been very nasty with us for all these years for up to just asking a question..

Southern Management System reported that I had {$4700.00} in collections and placed it on my credit report. They never sent me a bill prior to me contacting them and asking them where did they get {$4700.00} balance from. In response to my letter, they sent me a bill for the amount {$2900.00} and said that they would have all three credit bureaus update the amount. I wrote them a letter trying to clarify inaccurate items in their letter. They retaliating by notifying all three bureaus to report {$4700.00} on my report instead. I will enclose documents to support my complaint.I have sent them several communications trying to find out where they are getting there amounts from and they are evasive. The original creditor is XXXX on XXXX XXXX and they have lied on the paperwork that they gave Southern Management but that's a different story. Southern Management is trying to collect {$4700.00} when XXXX gave them an amount of {$2900.00}. It is incorrect also, but it not the {$4700.00} that Southern Management is unlawfully reporting and trying to collect. Southern Management is trying to pad the bill as evidenced by my most recent look at my credit report.

My account was sent to a collections agency who never contacted to dispute nor validate the debt which was alleged I owed. There was a mix-up in the apartment room in which I resided with a college roommate. I reached out to the original creditor to inform them that I am disputing the amount owed. Instead of the company trying to rectify it, they maliciously sent my account to Southern Management Systems collection agency who never notified me to validate the debt. I have provided a video and photos of the room in which I resided in the apartment - the statement provided does not reflect the room I resided in and therefore I am disputing these charges and asked that the account be removed from collections immediately. This is a shady unfair practice and a violation of my rights. My account was sent to a collection agency without any notification from the collection agency. I WANT THE ACCOUNT REMOVED FROM COLLECTION IMMEDIATELY AS THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR IS AWARE THIS ACCOUNT IS BEING DISPUTED - THE COLLECTION AGENCY, BY LAW, SHOULD I PROVIDED ME WITH WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF THIS DEBT AND A CHANCE TO DISPUTE AND VALIDATE BUT THEY FAILED TO DO SO.

On XX/XX/2022, I moved out of the XXXX XXXX Apartment complex in XXXX Florida. On XX/XX/2022 ( time stamp attatched ), I received a letter of intention to impose a claim on my security deposit for roughly XXXX dollars ( attatched ). First off all this debt was extreme, and the apartment has failed to verify it, but thats besides the point. The letter specifically stated that I had 15 days from the receipt of the letter to respond, or else they would be authorized to make a claim. Not even a week later, on XX/XX/2022 I received a phone call from a collection agency ( call log attatched ), Southern Management Systems in XXXX, saying that the debt has been sent to collections. XXXX XXXX failed to give me the 15 days to respond, and so based on their own literature was NOT authorized to send me to a collection agency or even to collect the debt in general. Even if this debt was legitimate ( which theyve yet to verify ), I was not given a chance to pay anything even if I wanted to. No invoice was sent, just the letter. I am filing this complaint because XXXX XXXX prematurely sent me to collections, and exercised unfair credit practices.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter to my house stating that my former apartment complex The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had sent me to collections ( Southern Management Systems ) for an overdue amount of {$120.00}. After speaking with a representative from Southern Management Systems, they told me that I would have to dispute it through them as well as speak to the apartment complex.

Additionally, I had placed a security deposit down in XXXX when I initially signed my lease and XXXX XXXX is claiming that since they were under different management at that time that there is no way for me to get this security deposit and/or have that money go towards this overdue balance they are charging me for. I went ahead and sent a letter to Southern Management Systems stating that this is a fraudulent balance and I had never gotten any information from XXXX XXXX about this overdue balance and this is an issue I would like to take care of in a timely fashion.

There is a XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) on my credit report that should not be reporting on my credit. This account is very old and I have not lived at those apartments for over 10 years. The collection agency who bought this debt, Southern Management, is also trying to charge me an amount that has been grossly inflated to what the original amount was. They are trying to say I owe them {$4900.00}! I have disputed this numerous times and I have not been provided with evidence nor a detailed explanation showing how XXXX calculated what they say I owe. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 808 : " A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. The collection of any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law is a violation of this section. '' Any collection fees or interest that have been added by XXXX is unlawful and they should not be reporting this account to my credit this way.

I subleased an apartment before I moved back to XXXX. I was not responsible for any payments on the apartment because everything was set up wit XXXX XXXX Apartments before I left. I attempted to reach out to XXXX XXXX but they are no longer there, it is now a different neighborhood. This debt was originally reported to my credit in XXXX as {$730.00}. As of XX/XX/XXXX, it is {$310.00} so now Im confused on the inconsistencies and no one is reaching out to me with any updates in regards to what is going on. I wasnt aware an debt was even reported until XXXX when I was looking at a deeper credit report and then I checked my credit report again today and the balance is different but no one told me anything. I received a letter in the mail with the new balance asking me to pay from Southern Management Systems , Inc but this is the first communication I have ever received from them and I still dont know how the balance has gone down when I dont owe anything. I have all of the documents from when the apartment was sublet. I would really appreciate this situation taken care of and removed from my credit.

Good Afternoon, This is a follow up to my previous email in regards to my claim with Southern Management. I spoke with the Leasing Manager XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. She states and she proves that I was NOT in XXXX XXXX as stated on the letter sent to Southern Management. I am still not understanding why the charges were deducted to {$160.00} if I have proven I was did not live in room A. Also, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible Purposes of consumer reports it states that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : In accordance with WRITTEN instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I do not recall giving any companies any type of of instruction to have these things on my credit report. They also need to prove that they have written instructions that I gave them permission to report this on my report. This is defamation because you are reporting negative items that's been making me seem like a irresponsible person. I take my credit and character very seriously. Please remove from my credit report. Thank you.

In 2008 My XXXX son left for college at university XXXX. We rented him an apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He was a XXXX so I rented the apartment I my name. # months int the lease they stopped him on the way in and advised him that he was required to sign an addendum to the lease or his rent would go up. He was hesitant but they bullied him into signing. He moved out at the end of the XXXX year as scheduled. Now they are reporting to both my and his credit that we owe {$6100.00} for a defaulted lease. I called them and they said that because he signed the addendum he agreed to extend the lease for another year. First of all, he was not authorized to sign an addendum as he was a XXXX and was not the lessee, but the sublet. Second, They have been actively trying to collect on this for XXXX years even though I have repeatedly advised them that it is not a valid debt. I still receive aggressive collection calls on this. Third, he is unable to secure Student financial aid as a result and he is in his XXXX year of XXXX school. Please advise the steps I must take to eliminate this.

I recently discovered on my credit report accounts that I did not recognize, so I contacted Southern Management Systems and requested evidence that the debt was mine. I requested this information so that I could be sure of what debt came from where before I started paying off anything. I then contacted XXXX and XXXX to let them know that I have asked Southern Management Systems to validate the debt as mine. Southern Management Systems received my validation request on XX/XX/2020, and XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX received my notice that a request to Southern Systems Management was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. I see that both my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX reports were updated and now show that the accounts are in dispute ; I requested to XXXX XXXX that they temporarily cease the reporting of these accounts during my investigation, and I requested that XXXX and XXXX enforce the FCRA and stopped any reporting of invalidated debts if Southern Management Systems failed to do so. None of the 3 parties involved have temporarily removed the accounts and are currently violating my rights as a consumer.

I had a lease signed at XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX AZ XXXX ) for a year and after the lease term ended, I was falsely charged for an amount of {$230.00} for Damages and repairs. This charge is partially incorrect because they charged me for a missing bathroom door which I think was the largest portion of the charge and I have documents to support my claim which can be found attached below. The company also never provided me with an itemized list of the damages giving me an estimate and directly charged me. When I reached out to them they rarely replied to me and if they did it wasn't a satisfactory reply. I also sent them an email saying I would go to small court about it, and they agreed to remove it. But unfortunately the charge was never removed and was sent to debt collections and I had to pay the whole amount in total and my co-signer received a red flag in his credit file. I was forced to pay this amount from my tuition fees and it was really difficult as a student to pay this false claim which was not even true. Could we potentially settle this out?

Southern Management Systems submitted a collection of {$1700.00} on behalf of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. in XXXX, Florida I am not disputing the debt. I am disputing the manner in which Southern Management Systems associates disrespected me when I tried to acquire any information about the account. Any questions I asked about the account was constantly met with a hung up phone call. An associate would tell me if I was on speaker phone or a Bluetooth phone they would not speak to me-call when I could speak alone without anyone around. They asked for my name, address, phone number an last four numbers of my social security number. I gave them this information on XXXX, 2022. It made me suspicious of the validity and proof of the debt because they did not have any information. Southern Management Systems will not communicate with me. I am requesting that Southern Management Systems delete and remove this erroneous collection on my credit report. A reply would greatly be appreciated.

On XX/XX/XXXX, my daughter re-let her room in XXXX XXXX XXXX in exchange for ending the fall XX/XX/XXXX lease. As the lease guarantor ( co-signor ), I facilitated the re-let agreement.

On XX/XX/2020, I've sent ( via USPS ) a certified letter to all 3 credit bureaus regarding a derogatory mark on my credit report. I'am exercising my right under ; Debt Validation pursuant the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 609 - Disclosure to consumer [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] and 611 - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ... ... Im challenging the validity of this negative mark is due to the fact that I do not acknowledge the amount reported of {$2300.00} and it's solely an attempt to collect a wrongful amount. Also, I requested proof of ownership from the collection agency of this account for which they had failed to grant me this legal right as the consumer. Upon reinvestigation of my credit file, it never did remedy the error in question. PLEASE NOTE : This is the type of request I wrote. However, the responses to my credit report investigation was very unsatisfactory as it did not seem to uphold any legalities base on the FCRA rules and guidelines.. PLEASE ASSIST and REINVESTIGATE.. Thank you very much,

This debt is illegally being reported to my XXXX and XXXX Credit File. I do NOT have any contracts between myself and Southern Management SYST ( debt collector ) They have failed to provide documentation that the debt is legal. The company in which my original account was created SOLD the debt to this collector therefore, having sold the debt and leased the premises out after moving they are not legally allowed to collect on a unit that is now occupied. This debt is not valid, as I was allowed to terminate our lease due to distress created for my family by administration of this facility. What I want? I want this debt listed by Southern Management SYST immediately removed from all of my credit profiles. They will ask have you tried to resolve this issue with the company. I have tried to resolve this and they are unable to verify that I have a debt / document with their company. That should be it. Make sure you put your social and email so they can respond and notify you of updates.

XX/XX/XXXX I moved out of a student apartment name XXXX XXXX ( former name ) now known as XXXX XXXX. I had three other roommates, I was the last person to move out I requested prior of moving out the leasing agents do a walk through after the other roomates had moved out because items were stolen in the furnish property as well as damages, Once I moved that's when they did a walk through and charge me {$600.00}. That's an absurb amount especially since I express to them what was going on as far damages & missing items I kept pleading with the leasing agents to witness the unit before I moved out because I didn't want to get charge a damage fee. I never knew about this fee until this year XXXX. I reach out to the company multiple time and they never answer their phone and their previous corporate company sold them due to many complaints from residents, I follow up with their new corporate company I'm unable to get a response. I reach out to the debt collector they weren't helpful as well.

The collection company, Southern Management System, is saying that I owe them an amount of {$3600.00}. I have no knowledge of this account. I asked them to validate this amount and I have not been provided with evidence nor a detailed explanation stating the reason behind this amount. Ive disputed this amount directly to the collection company two times in 2018, once XX/XX/XXXX and the second time on XX/XX/XXXX. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 808 : A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. The collection of any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law is a violation of this section. Any collection fees or interest that have been added by Southern Management System is unlawful and they should not be reporting this amount to my credit this way.

Due to the start of the XXXX pandemic ( XX/XX/2020 ), the university requested that we left the XXXX area to ensure safety. As the pandemic worsened, this required me to relet my apartment since I could not return to in-person classes. As of XX/XX/2020, the XXXX on XXXX apartments sent me a bill of {$120.00}. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I notified them that I have delivered the check to them. However, they still reported the fact that I did not pay them the money for the relet fee, hurting my credit score. After this, I double-payed the relet fee in order to prevent further depreciation of my credit score. Now it is affecting me in my ventures to receive new credit cards and loans because of my low credit score. I explained this to XXXX and they decided to remove it from my credit score. XXXX and XXXX have not fixed the issue yet. I just want this to be resolved because the pandemic caused this error to happen, and it is not a situation that should affect my trustworthiness as a lender.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted a case to collection agency, XXXX The debt that has been reported is not true because when I moved out of the apartment, I had to submit a notice to terminate the lease as well. The manager of the apartments at the time made it very clear my situation was squared away. I had to wait on the new apartments to give us a date to move in but she had to have proof to hersupervisor that I was not just squandering in the apartment. So, she made me sign a new lease just incase. Well, now, I am still stuck with that charge. It is on my credit. I needed info from XXXX as to why. The account manager, XXXX XXXX called me back, and was very reluctant to help. He refused my request for a manager or his superior, asking " Why does it matter? ". I need this rectified as soon as possible. I need true answers as to why I am still owing debt I was not supposed to be liable for, where are rhethe papers filed With the apartment complex before it went to collections?

I disputed that charge and they sent it to a collection agency Southern management at XXXX which has been harrasing me since XX/XX/XXXX even though I told them that the debt is not valid and they need to either take it to court or stop calling me. they continue to call me with threats and report the incorrect debt to my credit report. Again they either need to take me to court or stop harrasing me.

I checked my credit report frequently, and noticed there was a debt on there for an amount of XXXX dollars from a complex where I was a tenant in an apartment. The owners told me I would be able to break the lease with no penalties due to the condition of the apartment and months of my bathroom ceiling leaking dirty water from the above apartments toilet. I let them know in XX/XX/2020 about this issue, and they continued to send maintenance to patch up the work but not solved the problem. It wasnt until sometime in XX/XX/2020 that they finally agreed that the apartment is not livable or safe and I could break my lease with no penalties on my credit or move into another apartment. Due to the horrible living experience in this complex I decided to just leave and break my lease and they agreed that was fair. I had children and it was just not healthy to be breathing in water with other people XXXX and XXXX. I also never got a letter saying I owed anything.

Managed to finally speak to a supervisor/manager who kind of helped out and said to re dispute the newest letter, which i did but now they are saying they did n't receive it, but thats not my fault i could n't send it registered/certified mail because the only address they will give me is a XXXX XXXX XXXX now they have reported me to the credit bureaus not only on my credit report but on my daughters as well.

On XX/XX/2023 an apartment complex in Arkansas- the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX -called me to tell me I had rented an apartment. I had not. I told them that they had the wrong person, that I live in Georgia and never been to Arkansas, and therefore had not rented an apartment. They said they would need some information from me to address this situation. Figuring this is a phishing call, I told them I would not be giving out any information. I stressed that they had the wrong person and to stop calling me at the law firm where I work. Today, XX/XX/2023, I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that I owe {$80.00} to XXXX XXXX , an apartment complex in Arkansas. This is a fraudulent claim. I called the number on the notice and when I yet again refused to provide personal information, the woman on the phone started yelling at me. I believe both of these entities are fraudulent and they try to prey upon ordinary people.

Because of this I called the leasing office to see if I could break the lease anyway and we came to the conclusion that if I paid the first months rent then they would be able to put someone from the wait list into what was supposed to be my room. After I sent the money for the first month I did n't hear from the apartment complex until 6 months passed when I received a bill for {$3200.00}. When I called the apartment complex to look into the purpose of the bill they said there was no record of the agreement and said they would be sending the debt to collections. Which is when I began to be harassed by Southern Managment Systems and since then I have been threatened with a fraudulent claim, I upheld my side of the initial agreement.

The invoice was created with some software and not a real copy of an invoice that was signed by anyone. This has been going on for months and its negatively effecting my credit score.

If the key was returned the key was returned, and I never thought anything of it because I had already been advised that I wouldnt be charged now it is reflected on my credit negatively and Im getting constant notifications from the collection agency.

I came into an agreement to pay the debt but first I wanted to assure that they will give me an offer letter and a letter that I have paid the debt off once the payment has been processed. Upon me requesting these documents, XXXX XXXX 's professionalism left and he began to be extremely rude and said that he was not sending anything to me and that if I did n't like it too bad. After a back and forth moment, he just hung up. I have tried to resolve this issue but he never calls back. I also asked him if he could verify the debt and he refused. This could very well hurt my approval for my loan. I am trying to pay but they just wont work with me.

I tried to cancel the lease in writing the following day and they told me I was stuck in it. I told them I would not be living there and to rent it out to someone else. They in turn rented it out. Over a year later, they contacted me telling me I owed over {$8000.00} for the lease. Upon receiving this bill, I called, told them the problem, and now they are trying to charge me {$350.00} for a cancellation fee. They rented out the room without telling me anything about it and were originally trying to charge me the full amount until I called. This is criminal. I did not live there and cancelled within 24 hours.

I've sent multiple letters to this agency about this not being my account. After being advised by identitytheft.gov, I've completed and sent a fraud affidavit via certified mail. I can see they received it, but nothing has changed. See supporting documents. Even the USPS tracking. My official complaint is against Southern Management. My information was used to obtain an apartment, cell phone, and an auto loan with my ex-partner. I am a victim of identity theft and have put this off for too long. I've completed the proper steps, 1. notify creditors 2. police report 3. informed the state of Texas. The individual I've suspected for this theft is now deceased, and the police department said to contact the federal trade commission to seek relief. These companies disregard laws and dont care whos credit or lives they impact.

I have spoken to over 4 different representatives at this company. Explaining that I was a victim of identity fraud. I had numerous account including this one. I have disputed issue directly with rental company. They then referred me to Southern Management Systems. I explained issue and that I did not owe any balance and Southern Management Systems refused to help me saying I would need to dispute with Credit Agencies. I disputed with all three Credit Agencies XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX all disputes where denied because Southern Management Systems refused to accept my identity theft explanation. It has been over 6 years now and still no positive results after disputing every year. Balance said to be owed as of XX/XX/2019 is XXXX. This balance is inaccurate as it should be removed due to fraudulent account open initially.

There are significant issues with the debt collection efforts of Southern Management Systems in XXXX, FL. I received two different validation notices from the same account with two different end of validation dates, and the website on their collection notices was wrong. When I sent them a letter, along with the proof of it, what they sent me back totally disregarded those issues and only discussed the original disputed debt. Also, the CFPB has specifically advised against telling a consumer how a debt will affect their credit. In a phone call to Southern Management Systems on XXXX at approximately XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was told that accounts of this nature typically dont just ding the credit score but, in fact, bang it. Again, this was addressed in the letter I sent them, and they chose to ignore all of it.

XXXX claims that I ruined a couch they furnished to me. The couch in my apartment was perfect when I left it. They only sent a final notice letter to me to collect for it six months after I moved out of the unit. When I asked for pictures of the " ruined '' couch, they sent a picture of the underneath of one couch cushion that had a stain on it with a date marked on a dry erase board. They could not even prove it was the couch in my apartment. Even if it was, I did not cause the stain, and a small stain on the underneath of one couch cushion does not warrant a {$500.00} charge for a new couch. I tried to negotiate with them, saying I would pay for the couch if they gave it to me. They told me they no longer had the couch. They have no proof this couch was even the one in my apartment.

I called him because it is reported on my credit report that " consumer disputes ''. I am in the process to trying to get a mortgage and this dispute is hindering my efforts.

I asked for a return letter from their company in 30 days, letting me know they had removed the disputed status. As of today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I have not received a letter nor phone call from them and the dispute is still showing on my credit reports.

I discovered the collections debt on my credit score account. The following are reasons I am making this report. 1. I did not receive notice from the collection agency about the debt. 2. It is claimed that I owe a rental agency now known as XXXX XXXX XXXX ( previously XXXX XXXX ). The rental agency claims that I didnt return the keys among other things. This is not true. I dropped it in the rental agencys Dropbox. I wrote the rental agency to that effect. The rental agency never replied. I met a worker at the rental agency. However, the rental agency said they would reply by email and never did. 3. This is a fraudulent attempt by both rental agency and debt collections company to put me into debt. 4. I have attached the email to the leasing agency. They didnt reply the email.

My mother showed them proof that the couch was not damaged when I left and we told them that we would not pay for it. She showed them the video of my move out and my move out inspection. They said they would not send me to collections. The collection agency they use is Southern Management Systems in Florida. Now I have had it on my credit report because it was reported on XX/XX/XXXX, and my mother 's and I keep disputing it and they will not take it off my account or hers.

The XXXX XXXX, Apartment company, has submitted a debt collection for a balance which was not involving my signature and consent. The balance was stated as {$1500.00} as a settlement. I have never looked around any of their apartments at all, nor have I lived/stayed for 1 minute at one of the apartments. I have never been assigned a room for the apartment and have not even received a key for any apartment, so I also have not seen the apartment number. The debt has been opened by the apartment company without my consent since XX/XX/XXXX and then they transferred the debt to the collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX, right after its name changed to The XXXX XXXX. This debt has been posted on my credit record since then.

The new management company provided a " move out statement '' showing {$4800.00} in apparent rent owing along with fake charges for cleanup and painting.

I have never lived in these apartments they are collecting on. I called the apartments directly and drove down there to get a copy of the lease and i.d of the person who signed the lease and she said I had to talk to the collection company. I have called them maybe 12 times over the last 3 years and they are no help. I tried telling them that it was identity theft and that I never lived there, the man told me to pay or stop calling and the lady hing up on me. I asked for validation/proof 5 times, they have yet to send any letters or emails. I called one last time before sending this in and got no answer.

Was told to fill out paperwork on the internet to lease an apartment for college. I was never approved for the apartment. My father was not approved as a guarantor. I received a collection notice 2 months later for a sublet fee of XXXX dollars. I called the collection agency and they do not have the paperwork to show where I owe a sublet fee, they said my application has approved all over it. The apartment complex says they can not talk to me once it has gone to collections. I was never called and never received a notice which they said they mailed for the amount owed. I was never approved so how or they going to charge me to sublet the apartment? This is fraud.

The school contacted the apartment management at the time, and his lease was terminated without fault. I found this debt on my credit report two years after the above events and have been trying to get it removed. I never received a bill or any attempt to collect the supposed debt.

I was a co-signer on an apartment lease for my son from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX only. My son signed another lease from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX without me as a co-signer or guarantor. I paid his rent during the time I was his co-signer ; however, he was solely responsible for the next year 's lease. He owes the debt, not me for the months of XXXX in the amount of {$2000.00}. I tried to explain this to the collection agency many times but they continuously harass me stating, " They do n't care. I 'm his mom. I 'm liable too. '' He 's XXXX years old.

I have communications to Southern Management Systems dated back to XX/XX/2017 in regards to an alleged debt the company. In every request I have submitted to the company, I have asked the company to verify that I am bound to do business with them. They have constantly submitted the same documents from wherever the debt was purchased from, and in none of these documents is there a mention of Southern Management Systems. On top of the company 's failure to verify, I was told in the last letter received that the company would not send any further correspondence.
