What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
In short: I received a letter in the mail on 7/14 saying that if I do not contact the business by 7/20 they will put me into collections. I am curious to know what the law is between notice and being placed into collections, 5 business days seems a bit short.
Further: I have been planning to move out of the country, I informed my apartment managers verbally but at that time it was informal and not a 30 day notice. When I did give them a 30 day notice no one was in the office and I left them the note with my months rent. It was my fault I did not check up with them, they had also sent a notice claiming to not have received my rent payment but then cashed it. I figured they just misplaced it, so if they received and potentially misplaced my rent check then I figured the same must have happened to the 30 day notice. So I am surprised to get a letter in the mail stating that I am being charged 1400.00 for June and July though rent is 670.00 so technically it'd be 1340.00. But I have a confirmation with my bank that rent was taken out for June so I shouldn't be charged twice for that month.
Am I out of luck seeing that I do not have any writing confirmation that they received my 30 day notice? I have no doubt that I am, though my primary question is what is the time frame someone can put you into collections over something even though this would be my first notice?
