Three years ago, prior to leaving to college, I was searching for an apartment. In the meantime I was also waiting for acceptance letters. I was going to rent an apartment with my cousin and a friend. I received an acceptance letter, decided not to rent then moved to Louisiana.
I recently returned to Texas and tried to rent an apartment. After I placed my deposit of $300 my application was denied. Apparently, I have an outstanding balance with the apartment complex I was going to rent at with my cousin and friend. When I went to discuss this balance with the leasing agent, I indicated and showed documents that I was not living in Texas during the dates I owe for. Also, I found out that I was on the lease due to a signature that was not mine. It seems that my cousin forged my signature. He was probably not able to rent the apartment without my credit. I also showed the leasing agent that the signatures did not match. She indicated that the leasing agent who accepted this application was fired for allowing such activities but indicated that I still owed the money, $1000 +.
Now, I cannot rent an apartment and I have lost my deposit as well as owing over $1000 to an apartment complex where I did not live. Please advise, I don't know what I can do to get this issue resolved.
Thanks,
XR
