    My daughter moved out of an apartment a couple of months ago after
    her lease was up, and she cleaned it up fairly well and told the
    maintenance man that they still needed more cleanup to do . He
    stated "don't worry about it we'll do it". They also had an attempted
    break-in where someone tried to crowbar the front door open. Now,
    she has received a CA letter for 1200 for new carpet (in a year's
    time she had it steamed cleaned through the apartment complex), new
    door 180, cleanup 80. The CA applied 50% fee on top of the total for
    a 1800 bill. I sent a validation within the 30 days. No response.
    At exactly 30 days they sent another letter. I sent a copy of the
    1st letter and an estoppel letter. They sent a letter stating that
    they did not get the 1st letter and took off the 50% fee, but did not
    address if the debt has been charged as an insurance claim, a tax
    deduction, or what were the terms of assignment of the account. They
    said that they did not have to answer the questions. My question is
    they didn't send a copy of the itemized bill of the repairs and they
    took off their 50% off immediately so they are BS, right. They
    already threw it on the CRA's. I know that I have them on
    violations. Would it be a good idea to send the OC a letter of all
    correspondence and telling them that they may also be liable due to
    their CA's reluctance to delete? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Charlie,

    Did you send the 1st letter certified? If so, you have proof and their letters to you are continued collection tactics. As I have learned, OC's are/can be held liable for violations committed by a ca IF the oc still owns the debt. I think sending the oc a letter pointing that out may be a very good idea. If you send me an email, I have just the letter for you.

    The 1st letter I e-mailed it to my daughter and told her to certify it, but you know kids they don't listen. The 2nd I sent it CRRR. Thanks in advance for the help. Charlie
