How to settle credit debt for leaving apartment 3 months early?
It’s been about 3 years since I had to break a year apartment lease to move for work. I tried to talk to them to work something out and they said sorry you have to pay for the last 3 months of the lease. I didn’t have that kind of money to fork over so I had to just leave. Now they have ruined my credit score saying I owe them ,600. My rent was 0/month. I can’t get a house because of this so my question is what do I need to do to get this off my credit report ASAP? Credit lawyer? If they started renting the apartment I was in say the next month, are they allowed to collect from the new tenants and me at the same time? Is that some kind of double payment? Thank you in advance for any advise you guys & girls have!!!
