What is the name of your state? Texas
I lived in this apartment complex from August of 03 to August of 04.
Before I moved out I was told by the management to NOT call the gas company to have them discontinue my service. Management said that they would take over the account on my move-out date. I did exaclty what they said.
A year later when I try to start gas in my name at a different address the gas company says that I owe them $140. I inquired what dates and they said for August of 04 through Feb of 05, the dates after I had moved out of the apartment.
I went back to my old apartment, which was now under new ownership, a new name, and new management. They were no help. I called the group that used to own the complex and they said that they would take care of it. I called the gas company and told them so they started my gas service.
I recently ran a credit report on myself and found that I had a collection out there for $140. I knew what it was for and called the gas company back. They said that nothing had ever been resolved and that if I don't fax them a copy of my lease showing my move out date then I would have to pay the $140 or have my service discontinued.
I can't find a copy of my old lease. When I call the people who own and manage the company now they said that they don't have the old leases. When I call the comany that used to own the complex they said tha they don't have the old leases. I have found out that SOMEONE is supposed to keep them for seven years. All I need is a copy of the lease but everyone keeps pointing fingers at each other. If you go back seven years and count up the number of leases that SOMEONE should have it totals around 10,000 leases. How could yo misplace 10,000 leases?
My question is this**************Who can I talk to if no one can produce a copy of my old lease? I would like to turn these people in for not following the law and keeping these records for seven years. Who can I contact to turn these people in or who should I tell them that I am going to contact for them to understand that I am serious about this matter?
Thank you for your patience.
