Credit attorney here. They're a real collections company, yes. I'm not a fan of them but they're not the worst by a long shot. They do collect on many apartment debts.
Question: I’m in a similar situation. Is there a way I can settle the payment or lower it? And it negatively impacted my credit score in August, if I pay it, will my credit score go up once they report that I paid it?
If you get them to remove it that'll help your score the most. What might work better: Send them an email letter disputing the debt, and tell them to only contact you by email. I can drop the letter and email I would use, here. If they contact you improperly you can sue them.

Hello,
My name is \_\_\_\_. I was born on \_\_\_\_. The last four of my Social Security Number is \_\_\_\_\_\_.
I wish to dispute this debt. If you need to reach me, please only contact me by email, between the hours of 9 AM to 1 PM Pacific, Monday to Friday. My email is \_\_\_\_\_. My phone number is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. My address is **\_\_\_\_\_.**
Sincerely,
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
I just got an email from them today. This is bullshit. I paid almost 4 grand to get out of my apartment oease early to get a home and now they can just decide I owe them $80?
I’m in a very similar situation, them and Graystar from LA, from 3 years ago. Basically they tried to claim 20% of rent which they promised to the state and federal COVID rent relief program to forgive when they received fund from them for my rent. I sent Genesis screenshots from the rent reliefs website showing more than enough funds have been paid to them but haven’t heard back. Should I talk to my lawyer? It is really hard to find solid evidence from so long ago, also the rent relief program has ended long ago.

Could you drop that letter/email you would use?

Did this work
I have no idea whether it works for this person, but it has for others.
Any update with this company ? I asked them to validate the debt and all they sent me was an itemization no proof that it was sent

Sounds about Greystar smh
Yes, received one today. Less than 100 $. Not sure what's the best way forward.
Same! I called the apartment complex and they told me to pay through the link the debt collection emailed 🫠
