I owe my previous apartment 1500 dollars and I can't rent where I want to because that comes up. I wanted to pay it off but when I went back to my previous apartments they said that they were new owners and that the people I owed the debt to are gone and they don't know how to locate them. So it's a stain on my record and I can't get rid of it. They told me to call a collection agency but they told me that they only dealt with people trying to collect money from someone even though I'm trying to pay. What can I do?
