<prompt> Human: Summary:I was a guarantor for a friend of mine that I trusted. In November of 2014, the management company changed out, and he re-signed a lease; he qualified by himself and I was removed from the lease.Fast forward to a month ago; I was contacted by a collections agency that the leasee that I was guarantor for was evicted and owed 6,000. I contacted the leasing office, and got a copy of the lease with the charges. I discussed this with the leasee who said that this was a mistake, he terminated his lease in April but was not evicted.Contact the leasing office, they state it was indeed a mistake, I was NOT liable for the debt; at this point they confirmed I was not on the lease and had been removed, but they could not send me a copy as I was no longer on it. The issue I have today is, checking my credit report, I realize despite the fact that I was confirmed as not responsible for the debt nor was the previous leasee it was still sent to collections and not removed. This TANKED my credit score by about 80 points was 760, now 680.I have disputed this on my credit report with the credit agency, however, I have no physical, tangible evidence to support this.I have e-mailed the leasing office and collections agency asking to have this addressed ASAP or I would engage an attorney consumer protection BBB, but I want to ask personalfinance if there is anything I can do to get this resolved and off my credit report? If this is the wrong subreddit, it can be closed, just not sure what other reddit to use. Thanks all.  <response>: Contact the leasing office to get a copy of paperwork removing you from the lease with dates and request credit agencies vacate the claim.
