While living in an apartment I moved out before the lease was up, due to numerous problems within the complex - my car was keyed, drunks at pool, roaches in apartments, etc. I moved out November 1st and the lease was up December 1st so it was one month early. Upon move out I had an attorney draft a letter to the apartment manager to the following effect: keep all deposits and check for $400 attached to letter as full payment for all monies owed to complex. Apartment facilitiy cashed the check but still reported it to the credit bureau as bad credit, and somehow the amount grew. How can they put it on my credit report if they cashed the check which by the letter from my lawyer was considered last and complete payment of any debt.
