It sounds like a frustrating situation. You can still take action. Here are a few steps:
- File a Complaint: Report the issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Texas Attorney General.
- Legal Action: Small claims court may be an option to sue for damages. You might sue the landlord for failing to provide proof or the collection agency for incorrect reporting.

so under my credit rights it says: If you believe the debt being collected is inaccurate, you have 30 days from the date you’re first contacted by a debt collector to dispute the debt in writing.
You should dispute anything you think may be inaccurate right away — after 30 days, the debt collector can legally attempt to collect the debt.
But if you dispute the debt, the debt collector is legally obligated to verify the debt before proceeding with any collections action. While they’re verifying the debt, the debt collector can’t contact you to attempt to collect it. but if i didnt get it in writing but have a recording of me and the agency's convo that i dispute it can i use that as evidence
Case Rating: *
Using a recording of your conversation with the agency where you dispute the debt can be valuable evidence. However, disputing in writing is typically required for legal protections. You might still have a case if the recording clearly shows your dispute.
Would you like more detailed advice on how to proceed with this evidence?
