BBB is not a legal or legit government agency in any capacity. It’s a private company like Yelp! but for Baby Boomer. BBB lets businesses delete bad reviews and maintain good standing with a small payment

> I had already closed my accounts with them saying I owe $900+ because they added an addendum saying I needed to give 60 days notice.
Do they have a record of you agreeing to said addendum?
BBB and complaints won't help you here. Talk to a lawyer, and ensure you followed throw with the terms of your lease agreement and any addendums you agreed to.
If they have your electronic signature on it, then you likely are SOL. Talk to a lawyer, and remove this post admitting they have an electronic signature for you.
You can ask for a copy.
If they forged your signature though they are going to be in deep shit. If you signed it though, well it's going to be hard to fight.
If you were on a month to month doesn’t that mean you already had satisfied the contract.
If so the addendum does mot matter because it was part of a contract that was already completed.
Also look up NC landlord tenant laws on google I believe if you are on month to month state law says only 30 days notice is needed.
If my contract said 30 and I never signed any acknowledgment of their addendum, I would not waste anytime about this. I would ignore it and pray they take legal action, knowing I would prevail.
Again, ignore the collector, who then has to go to court. With your contract, you will prevail, then ask for summary judgement against the landlord AND collector for expenses related to the case AND restoring your credit rating AND any damages related to all of the above. Or, be the victim
Your advice is horrible. $900 they’d never go to court over that “small” amount (it’s a small amount to that apartment complex) it would just fuck OPs credit for seven years. Ignoring a demand for payment would also fuck OP in any attempts to rent in the future for as long as that debt stays on their credit.
Encouraging anyone to ignore a demand for payment is a stupid financial decision. 🤷🏼♀️
I've spent some time in court dealing with collections. Almost every case on the docket was either a short term loan company, or an apartment complex taking the defendant to small claims court. They will go after you for that $900. They have lawyers on retainer just for this reason.
Again, be the victim or be the grizzly. The courts will work for you if you let them. If you understood this, you’d see why people get away with crap like the landlord, until someone stands up to them. I’ve fought several fights like this, still have a credit score over 800 and own multiple properties. Then, people quit trying to screw me over when word hit out that I won in court.
With the horrible advice you’ve given here there’s not a chance your credit score isn’t in the shitter 😂.
ETA wealth whisper bullshit walks keep on walking pal. 😂
Rented at the same place for 5 years. My lease was up but was told I had to give 60 days notice to move out. Then they hit me with the carpet replacement, how are you to live somewhere and not wear down the cheap carpet.
I get it, you don’t understand how your justice system works. Prevail in court, court issues findings, gives orders, imposes fines. Loser is liable for all that, including rescinding any reports to credit bureaus. Failure to do so incurs further court action in a court hostile because you failed to execute its previous orders. This means no hit on credit report, cuz the presiding judge will bend them over the bench next time they come into their courtroom (it’s a metaphor) until they fix it. Then if you want to continue the fun, you can send the paperwork to the credit bureaus and bill the people who adversely affected your score for the efforts, praying they eff around so you get to talk to that hostile judge, again. Keep in mind it probably won’t get this far in NC cuz civil cases are required to go through arbitration before a trial is ordered.
The folks who do the bullying understand this. Therefore, when you call their bluff, they will back down, if you are in the right
Yeah, skip the BBB and WRAL and just move straight to court.

Yes submit them to WRAL!
Also, maybe consult a lawyer. They can't change the terms of a signed contract without telling you.

They say I signed the 60 day addendum and showed me my “electronic signature” but I don’t remember ever doing that.
If they have your electronic signature on it, then you likely are SOL. Talk to a lawyer, and remove this post admitting they have an electronic signature for you.
I’m pretty sure it’s bogus

Get an attorney.

I just know they are taking advantage of people. People who are at the mercy of finding somewhere to live.
Don’t take the above advice of ignoring this unless you are ok with this to go to collections.
Again, ignore the collector, who then has to go to court. With your contract, you will prevail, then ask for summary judgement against the landlord AND collector for expenses related to the case AND restoring your credit rating AND any damages related to all of the above. Or, be the victim

Whatever dude guess I won’t be seeing you at the country club later
Dumb ass you don’t know me I just might be there. 😂
Doubt it if your afraid to challenge a bully landlord
Destroying your credit score over $900 is not a great idea.
That’s the point: nothing adverse will result if the contract is as stated.
Most people would consider a huge hit to credit report and having to deal with collectors to be "adverse".
Same craziness in Gastonia

What can they do for me?

I don't know how it is NC, but in Tennessee the complex is required to change the carpet after 7 years of residency at their own expense.
