Long story short but here goes: Moved out of lease month ½ early due to inhabitable living, mold, serious repairs not fixed and from me being sick from the place. Would have taken the Landlord easily to court (I know I would have won due to my overwhelming amt of evidence, documentation, letters from health insptcrs etc..) but moved out of state and now to costly to fly back and fight for the small amt $700 Credit issue: I tried to come to an agreement w/ him to settle since we both wanted to so as to put behind us but he would not take my offer and now after reporting it to credit bureaus few weeks ago he said he would take it back off my credit if paidâ?¦yeah whatever. Now he claims that by next week if I donâ??t pay him he will send collection agency after me and they will take me to court to recoup his money once again. My question is how can I dispute this if it is reported, is it worth to try and fight and it possibly taint my credit report? Can CA take me to small claims even though out of state? What to do???
If he will take it off of your CR after you pay him then, get the agreement in writing from the landlord! Pay it and Keep all receipts. It probably isn't worth the hassle of having it on you CR, having a Collection agency after you ect....
