MessageCollector not working

I am trying to get the content of the response so I can save it as a variable and move onto the next bit of information but I can't seem to work out how to get the message collector to work. I've tried 3 different methods and I really don't know what to do now. My codes current state:

      } else if (interaction.options.getSubcommand() === 'newentry') {
            let type = interaction.options.getString('type')

            if (type === "character") {
                await interaction.reply(`Creating new \`${type}\` entry. Have all information to hand, will auto cancel in \`300 seconds\`. Reply to the messages for it to work.`)
                    .then(() => {
                        sleep(3000)
                        let NameAsk = interaction.followUp('What is the name of the character? Ensure it is properly capitalised.')
                            .then(CollectedName => {
                                const collectorFilter = m => m.author.id === interaction.author.id
                                interaction.channel.awaitMessages({ filter: collectorFilter, max: 1, time: 30000, errors: ['time'] })
                                    .then(CollectedName => {
                                        NameAsk.delete();
                                        interaction.followUp(`${CollectedName.content} is the provided name.`);
                                    })
                            })
                    })
            }
        }

      } else if (interaction.options.getSubcommand() === 'newentry') {
            let type = interaction.options.getString('type')

            if (type === "character") {
                await interaction.reply(`Creating new \`${type}\` entry. Have all information to hand, will auto cancel in \`300 seconds\`. Reply to the messages for it to work.`)
                    .then(() => {
                        sleep(3000)
                        let NameAsk = interaction.followUp('What is the name of the character? Ensure it is properly capitalised.')
                            .then(CollectedName => {
                                const collectorFilter = m => m.author.id === interaction.author.id
                                interaction.channel.awaitMessages({ filter: collectorFilter, max: 1, time: 30000, errors: ['time'] })
                                    .then(CollectedName => {
                                        NameAsk.delete();
                                        interaction.followUp(`${CollectedName.content} is the provided name.`);
                                    })
                            })
                    })
            }
        }

And the error I am getting:

node:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

[UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason "#<Collection>".] {
  code: 'ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION'
}

node:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

}

I don't think the error is related to my issue, I think thats because I didn't catch the time error. But I'm not sure why it wont give me the message. Any help is much apriciated.
