IQ Data International, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WA XXXX is attempting to collect an alleged debt of {$9400.00}. From the information they are reporting to the credit bureaus, the original creditor was XXXX XXXX, the original loan amount was {$7500.00}, and the current amount due on the loan is {$9400.00}. IQ Data International is attempting to collect a debt I do not owe. The company is reporting false and fabricated information to the credit bureaus that prevents me from being able to acquire housing and is creating other collateral hardships. The company refuses to provide any documented proof to validate that I owe {$9400.00} for a loan that originated with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is an apartment complex. The apartments were purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/2014. I rented an apartment from XXXX and the name of the apartment complex at the time of my interaction was XXXX at XXXX XXXX. I am a XXXX XXXX. Within days of my move in, a local contract was cancelled and I was contracted to a hospital in California. On XX/XX/2014 I submitted a written Notice to Vacate and speak with XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding my situation and their requirements for early lease termination. The management of XXXX at XXXX XXXX informed me that I had two options. The first option was to pay two months of rent. The second option was to move-out, XXXX would put the apartment back on the market, and I would pay a reduced rent amount until the apartment was rented. As I contemplated, management informed me that the complex was XXXX % occupied, the apartment was their most desirable layout, with the addition of a private balcony, one of the best views, and there were not anymore like it that were available. She then recommended that I take the second option because she couldn't fathom that particular unit not being rented within a month. Based on the professional judgement of XXXX management I deferred to their perspective and chose to pay the reduced rent and allow them to put the apartment back on the market and pay the reduced rent until the apartment was rented. Within days of my conversation with XXXX management I returned to the office, on XX/XX/2014, to inform them of my departure and to return the keys. All the employees in the office were different from a few days before. I spoke to one of them. I was told the apartments had been sold, and were under new management. I mentioned my situation and was told that all was well and that all arrangements made with XXXX at XXXX XXXX would be honored. A few days later I received a call from the new manager of the newly renamed XXXX XXXX. We discussed the terms of my move out. I also informed her of the specific XXXX employee that told me my options for the early termination of the lease. I requested that she contact XXXX to verify and clarify the options and terms they had stipulated, and then call me back. A day or so later the manager of XXXX XXXX called me back. She told me that she had gotten in contact with XXXX and they confirmed the terms of my early lease termination as being : ( 1 ) I would vacate the apartment, ( 2 ) they would put the apartment back on the market, and ( 3 ) I would pay a reduced rent until the apartment was rented. She informed me that she had personally verified and clarified the terms directly with XXXX and that XXXX XXXX would honor the terms. After arriving in California and starting work at the hospital, I received a call from the manager of XXXX XXXX informing me that the rent was due on the apartment. I told her that I was surprised that the apartment had not rented yet. I asked whether they had been showing the apartment and whether there were any prospective renters showing interest in the apartment. She told me it was their responsibility to rent the apartment and it was my responsibility to pay the rent. The sudden shift of tone gave me an uneasy feeling that something was not right. I told her that I was at work and when my shift ended I would use the online web portal to make the payment. When my shift ended, I went to the XXXX XXXX website. I did a search of their website as a prospective renter utilizing the same method I originally employed to find and apply for the specific apartment unit I rented. I searched multiple ways, and although I was provided all the unit numbers of available apartments, my specific apartment number of XXXX was not listed. Since the apartment was not listed on their website as available for prospective renters, it was unavailable. Applications to rent the apartment could not be submitted. The apartment was not made available for renters, therefore it was not on the market. I called the manager back and told her that when I had gone to XXXX XXXX website to make a payment, I checked to see whether the apartment had been placed back on the market, and was shocked to discover that the apartment had not been placed back on the market. Again, she told me it was their responsibility to rent the apartment and it was my responsibility to pay the rent. I reminded the manager that the terms that I agreed to were that the apartment would be placed on the market and I would pay a reduced rent while the apartment was being marketed until it was rented. I told her that it was unfair of them to want me to uphold my end of the agreement while they abandoned their obligations of the agreement. I told her that not putting the apartment on the market constituted a breach of the conditions of our agreement. I continued to monitor their website, and XXXX XXXX did not place the apartment on the market for several months. I took screenshots from the XXXX XXXX website during periods they were obligated to have the apartment on the market and available to prospective renters. The screenshots from XXXX XXXX own website constitutes irrefutable evidence that they breached the terms I agreed to by not putting the apartment back on the market ; thereby, making the apartment unavailable to prospective renters. XXXX committed the breach. The breach was not and can not be cured. Additional relevant facts include : 1. XXXX XXXX did not own the apartments at the time that I rented. 2. XXXX XXXX did not own the apartments at the time I submitted my Notice to Vacate. 3. From the outset, I have acted in good faith by going directly to the management of XXXX at XXXX XXXX to submit my Notice to Vacate and to inquire about their requirements for early lease termination. 4. I utilized an early lease termination option recommended and given directly from the management of XXXX at XXXX XXXX. 5. After change of ownership, the manager of XXXX XXXX confirmed I was acting upon and in accordance with terms XXXX instituted. 6. After directly confirming the stipulated terms came from XXXX, the manager of XXXX XXXX told me the terms would be honored. 7. XXXX XXXX breached the terms by requiring payment of the full rent amount and by not putting the apartment on the market for rental for several months after I had vacated. 8. I did not and I have not signed a contract with XXXX XXXX or IQ Data International. 9. Due to their breach and/or otherwise, XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International do not possess any signed documents, contracts, financial or security instruments that I am indebted to them from a loan [ as they are indicating on my credit report ] or any other manner. 10. XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International both refuse to provide me with the document I signed to create the debt they allege they are owed. 11. XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International both refuse to indicate and demonstrate how the specific amounts of {$7500.00} and {$9400.00} were derived. 12. XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International are unable to demonstrate a binding obligation that I am required to pay {$7500.00} and {$9400.00}. 13. At the outset, had the manager of XXXX XXXX not misled and lied to me by stating the terms established with XXXX before the change of ownership would be honored, and told me from the beginning that the pre-established terms would not be honored, I could have addressed and resolved the issue before XXXX XXXX breached the terms and conjured an arbitrary and baseless debt amount. XXXX XXXX AND IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL ARE VIOLATING FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS OF EXTORTION AND THE XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) ACT AND THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International are aware that I acted in accordance with terms established and imposed upon me before change of ownership. After confirming the terms, XXXX XXXX informed me that they would be honoring those terms. My understanding of how XXXX XXXX was going to proceed was based on and in accordance with what I was told by the manager of XXXX XXXX, i.e. they were going to honor the pre-established terms imposed by XXXX. XXXX XXXX breached the terms by not placing the apartment on the market for several months and requesting the full rent amount. They can not cure the negligent breach that now forms the basis of their self-inflicted [ did not put the apartment on the market as agreed ] debt concoction. The continuous demanding of a payment that they are keenly aware I do not owe and/or not obligated to pay because of their negligent misdeeds. The first is the breach of the terms they informed me we were going to abide. The second is not informing me from the outset that the XXXX terms would not be honored thereby providing notice to allow me the right to address and resolve the matter before the accrual of any potential additional costs or fees or increases. They do not possess any documentary basis that absolves the factual particulars of their self-inflicted, negligent mishandling that allows them to justify the nature of the debt ( loan ) or the specific amounts to which they claim to be entitled. They have submitted this false and fabricated information to the credit reporting bureaus. As a direct result of the fabricated information provided I am unable to obtain housing. When my applications for housing are denied the false information from IQ Data International is cited as the basis of denial. So either I pay on a loan that I dont owe or be homeless. That is a textbook case of extortion. The RICO act violation stems from the organization 's orchestration of continuous demands, through the agency of the credit reporting bureaus, of an ever-increasing amount of a debt they are not owed. They are refusing to validate the debt with documentation of how the specific amounts of debt, they are reporting to the credit reporting bureaus, are derived, why I owe them, and they will not remove it from my credit reports.

Do Not Mark this as a Duplicate complaint as my FULL complaint is never addressed by XXXX, XXXX or IQ Data International. So much so to the point that I can already predict their response to my complaints being that they have somehow verified the information belongs to me with an explanation irrelevant to my complaint and they refuse to delete it. I have submitted several complaints against XXXX and XXXX to notify them of errors in my consumer report. I also submitted 2 complaints against IQ Data international on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and in response to my complaints against IQ Data International they said " XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Re : Complaint of XXXX XXXX Case Number : XXXX, XXXX Internal Reference : XXXX In response to your letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, we provide the following information. To ensure there is no confusion, XXXX XXXX is not our client, he is the consumer '' so According to IQ Data International and the law I am the Consumer. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' IQ Data International is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' IQ Data International the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, or IQ Data International whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. They claim under section XXXX of my lease agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX they MAY report to consumer agencies and this is still with my consent and does not trump my right to privacy so as the consumer I say any authority granted to report under section 33 of the lease agreement is revoked as is my right by law. This clause in the lease does not override my right to privacy. And under 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' XXXX XXXX Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' To be more specific person means '' The term person means any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, estate, cooperative, association, government or governmental subdivision or agency, or other entity '' This includes IQ Data International, XXXX and XXXX all of which I have made many complaints against explaining why the information should not be reported which they ignore. On top of these clear and egregious violations XXXX another consumer reporting agency already deleted the fraudulent account at my instructions. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. These procedures shall require that prospective users of the information identify themselves, certify the purposes for which the information is sought, and certify that the information will be used for no other purpose. Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in section 1681b of this title. Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures as my report is not consistent across the reporting agencies. If XXXX could not verify that it was lawfully added to my report my question is how could XXXX or XXXX. Also 16 CFR 313.7 ( f ) under the authority of 15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq., 12 U.S.C. 5519 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services once again. Please stop ignoring the fact that you or any agency can not furnish this information without my consent and you do not have it. 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance states that " Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} '' it also states " Any person who obtains a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose shall be liable to the consumer reporting agency for actual damages sustained by the consumer reporting agency or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater. '' I have already demonstrated that you don't have permissible purpose and are knowingly continuing to report information after I have made many complaints. I am very tired of making complaints to no avail I know my rights as a consumer and I am tired of these companies violating my rights. If you still refuse to comply I will see you in federal court and according to 15 USC 1681n ( c ) " Upon a finding by the court that an unsuccessful pleading, motion, or other paper filed in connection with an action under this section was filed in bad faith or for purposes of harassment, the court shall award to the prevailing party attorneys fees reasonable in relation to the work expended in responding to the pleading, motion, or other paper '' and when I win you will pay my attorney fees. I would really love to see how you weasel your way out of this in your response please address how it is you continue to report without my consent. You always seem to conveniently leave that out. You already admitted I am the consumer so please explain why the Fair Credit Reporting Act is not protecting my rights the language in the act is very clear so now not only am I requesting you delete the account I want XXXX from each company for wilfully violating the provisions of that act. You can send the check to whatever address you have on file. Stop XXXX on my right to privacy and follow the law. In your response I demand to see an explanation of all the laws I listed and why you continue to violate them. Also to those at the CFPB what else must I do for you to actually enforce the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act so far the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has done a terrible job protecting my rights as the Consumer which was stated by IQ Data International that I am the Consumer. Every company on this complaint agreed to follow federal law not only in their security agreement filed with sec.gov but also in their consumer agreements. IQ Data International also claims to have won awards in their field but are obviously violating not only me but many other consumers. As well as the fact the XXXX and XXXX are also constantly violating consumers. And as you people seem to get amnesia I have made this report as specific as I can .Once again please stop ignoring the fact that you or any other agency can not report these items without my consent and you do not have it. The account I am speaking of is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX through IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account # XXXX

I came back from XXXX in XXXX, after spending a year in XXXX bedroom apartment in XXXX, my kids were growing up, so I moved into a XXXX bedroom at XXXX XXXX XXXX complex in XXXX a rental property owned by XXXX Apartment. Even though the place was pricey for me it worthy at the time ( best school district in the state ), Because of the kids, my wife and could not work full time so, took an extra job, a weekend job, a ride hailing gig and was going to school full at XXXX XXXX college as XXXX machinist ( good paying job in this sector at the time ). The XXXX XXXX was a beautiful place to live, lot of greeneries, park for kids, shops all around, medical services, you name it, it was there. My family loved it ; I was proud to be able to live there. The XXXXXXXX XXXX complex to describe it in short sentence was surround by a XXXX XXXX that drop to a creek about 15 to 20 meters below. An The all complex somehow was fenced except the portion around our block ( I dont know why ). The back patio of my unit was facing the XXXX XXXX looking down the creek ( I lived on the ground floor ). Trouble started when during a summer weekend, my kids were playing on the backyard, my boy came to as he notices someone fat cat roaming around. My instinct of dad got me to go check it out, at my surprise it was a bobcat ( no kidding ) I was shocked to see one in the middle of downtown XXXX. I contacted the office about it, and I received this memo ( please see attachment 1 email ) saying that it is basically the price to pay to be around the greenery, and that the wilds animal was friendly and if you see it just wave at it, as someone that grew up in XXXX, this email puzzled me a lot. Personally, if it is called wild animal, it is because, they are unpredictable, and if they are coming out of their habitat in the open, it is they are either sick ( rabies, cast out of herd, hungry, or the hideout is threatened by something, nothing friendly about ) I would not be around even a domesticate animal like dog unless the owner is there and tell me its ok. So, I approach the office to find out why this portion of the complex was not fenced like the rest. I was told that legally they done have to fence it ( I dont know why, Im not a legal expert ). Pretty much once a month I will see some or receive an email warning about some kind of wild life sights ( cayote, raccoon, bobcat, deers and so on. ) As precaution for the safety of my kids, my wife and I decide that they only play on back only when we are present. In XXXX ( XXXX ) the heavy rainfall had eroded the cliff down the creek, making the all area a fall hazard. While we were sitting in the back enjoy one of the rare sunny days, my kids were playing with a go-cart toy, boy was not paying attention, and end falling does the creek, luckily, I was seating by there, and his go-cart ( broken, see attachement ) got caught by a branch and I was able to pull in out, and thanks God he was not hurt. Once again approach the office about the fence received the same answer about not being legal obligation. I forbid my kids to play in back and complete lock the back door for their safety and barricade the fall hazard with tree branches ( attachement ). I XX/XX/XXXX, a Thursday, while in class, my wife to notify me that our electricity got cut off. I called in the office to find out what was the issue, they told me at my surprise that I probably did not pay my bill, to contact XXXX ( WA XXXX XXXX in WA that serves our area ). After a back forth with XXXX, I found out that it was them. Friday, I called in the office, at the time they only had one maintenance personnel for the entire complex and barely one or two office personnel, to request my power back because XXXX was not responsible, I still believe it was unintentional mistake, as the maintenance personnel was working on the unit above me. They came and fix it on Monday after 4 days with no hot water, we cant cook ( electric stove ) and spoiled food. No apology just a note says has power ( Im sure he meant power restored ) I have to ask my friend in XXXX for my family to stay there for the weekend. After the backyard accident with the kids, wife have decided not to renew our lease for a full year, so we can save more and any affordable and move out of this place that went from paradise to XXXX in less than 2 years. So, I planned with a real estate to buy a house after the school year ended. So, we sign a half year lease ( we had to pay and extra {$200.00} or more on the top the rent to stay there } After the power cut incident, I was going to my best friend wedding, and I was looking for a small suitcase in the closet when I came across the mold in the closet where we store thing we dont use often. Thats when I realize that it was a second bathroom that they hastily modified to closet in order to increase the value of the place. But instead on leaving the plumbing so, it is visible, the criminally try to mask it with plaster and same paint color as the wall. if it was not for the mold ( put a sponge to contrast in order to see the faucet ) I would not see the faucet and plumbing at the bottom of the closet. I was even troubled as they just did an inspection of the place couple weeks ago and did not mention anything. For the past XXXX years I have to surrender my dwelling XXXX a year for inspection, they knew that there is a potential for mold, but never care, and God known how long I have been paying sweat and hard work to live in this filthy place with my family. I contact my real estate the same day, I told him find me anything with a roof, Im leaving. They threw a carpet on a moldy bathroom to make it a closet. All that time my wife is complaining about allergy, and we thought, its just because we are surrounded by tree, could have been a result of the mold. They even admit in their assesment that the closet was moldy ( attachement ) As an immigrant, I did not grow up in a culture where we go around and suit each other for money to compensate pain or loss, I preferred to be proactive and move my loved ones to a safe and healthy environment as no money can overcome a human suffering. I immediately moved my family to my friend house and I notify the office with all the reasons. My real estate found me a house 55 miles away from our XXXX, in the middle of the school year, despite the complaint of kids for leaving the favorite school. Even though the price was ok, I could not afford it because I was not financial ready. I took a second FHA mortgage plus I empty XXXX to get there 2 months later. XXXX XXXX kept my deposit, charge me at the highest for everything going from cleaning to even throwing extra garbage in the dumpster under the pretense that the unit is very dirty ( highly subjective ). I always pay my rent on time, so despite my financial difficulty at the time I managed to pay them everything they asked for except the 2-months rent they need post moving. I tried to explain to them, no one in right mind will pay almost {$4000.00} for a moldy dwelling, but they keep saying you sign a contract, we ill send you to collection, and all kind of threaten. I propose to them half month rent to avoid what I am going through right now, and they declined it. Last year, in the middle of the pandemic when they XXXX asks everyone to quarantine that when XXXX XXXX choose to take to court collect the inflated amount, I supposedly owe them. With my health condition, I did not want to go to courtroom during the pandemic, but I manage to go to, present my case to the judge. I was giving 2 weeks to collect evidence while XXXX XXXX lawyer had XXXX years to collect his. I dont have the mean to hire expensive lawyer to protect myself for this injustice, they riddled my credit score with collection, so I could not even take advantage of the low interest rate that was available back them for refinancing I believe XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX Apartment are the ones that breach their contract in bad faith by not providing me as they promise a safe, clean and healthy dwelling even though I, year by year fill full my obligation to them. Please let me know if you need more information for this case, I am willing to provide you with anything that can help put this matter behind me in this stressful time we live in. I do hold additional photo and documents if any party need them, I could forward it to you. Thank you

IQ Data International Services Phone Call Briefing Date : XXXX. Call Time : XXXX XXXX I initially called IQ data services on XX/XX/XXXX trying to get more information to see if there was an update on my dispute request that was mailed XX/XX/XXXX. I was transferred over to the agent that was assisting me from my initial phone call on XX/XX/XXXX. His name is XXXX. I asked XXXX if there was an update on my dispute claim. XXXX stated that there was a major backlog in the dispute department. I asked if he could give me a date or estimated time that my dispute would be seen. He could not. I asked to speak with a manager to see if I can get a better time frame for this matter. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX. I explained my situation to her, I also explained that XXXX could not give me a time frame that my dispute would be received. XXXX then started to bagger me into paying the debt during the phone call. I informed her that I did not have the money to make the payment and I was just looking for another option/ looking for an update on my dispute. XXXX stated that the dispute will be addressed within 30 days at the earliest. I said ok, well I guess I can just call back tomorrow to ask for an update on the dispute. XXXX then stated that I could not call back. She said that if I did not pay the debt while on the line then she would mark my case as unable to collect debt and I would be unable to dispute any sort of claim on my account and the charge would stay on my credit. XXXX then went on to say that this situation was my fault and that I had known about the debt since XXXX of XXXX. I let her know that that was incorrect. I asked what address she had on file, she stated that she could not tell me. I then asked if I could get anything in writing because I have not received anything from this company recently. She then cut me off and stated that I could either pay the debt now or set up a payment plan/ hardship plan. She also stated that if I did not obliged she would end the call. I placed her on a brief hold to research the law to see if she could do that. I could not find an answer so I took her off hold. I asked what the hardship form was and if she could mail it to me. I let her know that I would like information in writing and by mailing it to me I could then fill out the necessary paperwork and send it back so that I can have records. She stated that I could only do it over the phone. I let her know that I ought to be able to get things in writing. XXXX started becoming increasingly aggressive and extremely rude. She started to laugh at me saying that she found my situation comical. I again placed her on a hold to gather my thoughts. I waited a minute then took her off hold to try to speak with her again. I told her that I found her to be rude and unprofessional and I am just looking for help and answers. I asked if I could speak with someone else. She stated that If I do not fill out the hardship [ form she would terminate the call and I would be unable to resolve this matter and It would stay on my credit. She said that she would mark my case as unresolveable. I let her know that that was not true. I am just trying to resolve the debt that does not belong to me. I let her know that I tried to rectify this situation with the XXXX XXXX apartment complex and they stated that because my account was in collection, they could not speak with me at all. I let her know that I did detail that in my dispute letter. She informed me that they had records on my original dispute back in XXXX. She stated that the apartment complex said that I was responsible for the debt. I asked if that meant that it's my word against theirs? she said yes. I stated Well, I am calling now and I am filing another dispute because this debt does not belong to me and I am trying to resolve this matter with the appropriate party. Doesn't that count for something? I am asking for help, because this debt does not belong to me. I am not in a situation where I can pay {$1100.00} for a debt that does not belong to me.This is causing undue hardship for me. XXXX laughed again. She stated that I should have thought about that and that my case had been on her desk since XXXX. She also stated that this was my fault because I should have called earlier. I let her know that I did receive a dispute from a letter in XXXX but I did not receive notification from the company. I do not have an eviction on my record so I thought that everything was resolved. The initial dispute with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was regarding an eviction due to an unpaid rent balance from a time period that I did not live there. She stated that a letter was mailed out to me. I let her know that I did not receive that letter. I asked If I could speak with her manager or report to her because I was not comfortable speaking with her longer. She laughed again. She said that she was speaking in circles and I was being difficult. She said that she had been on the phone with me for XXXX minutes and I was wasting her time because I was not willing to pay the debt. She stated that she would not transfer the call to a colleague to waste anyone elses time because of me. XXXX XXXX became increasinly agitated, rude, and unprofessional. I was confused by this because I was only asking questions and trying to resolve the situation. She yelled that I needed to fill out the hardship form. I let her know that I do not understand why she is yelling and laughing at me. I also let her know that I do not appreciate her behavior. I let her know that I was uncomfortable giving her any additional information. I asked if she could mail out the form and I could fill it out and mail it back because I was not prepared to fill out a hardship form and I may not have all of my information. She stated that If I do not fill out the hardship form over the phone that she would terminate the call, I would be unable to resolve this matter, and It would stay on my credit. She said that she would mark my case as unresolveable. She demanded that I give her reasonable estimates. I did not know what else to do. I thought that XXXX actions were illegal for her to do this to me. I feared that this would stay on my credit and I would be unable to move into another apartment or house. I agreed to start to complete the hardship information with XXXX XXXX as I did not know what else to do. While completing the hardship information, I gave her a reasonable estimate of my rent, utiiles, and then she asked me about my XXXX XXXX. I let her know that I do not know that information off the top of my head. She stated ok, guess then started listing out numbers and asking is it XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX something. I tried to look up my email at the time and stated that I do not know. I asked if I could put her on another hold to find out this information. She demanded that I give her a number right then and there. I said ok XXXX. She sucked her teeth and stated that based on the previous information my XXXX XXXX could not be that high. She stated that I was giving her false information. I let her know that I was not giving her false information. Her tone was extremely accusatory. I let her know that again, I am giving her the estimate that she was asking for. I let her know that she was being extremely rude and I needed to speak with a manager. SHe stated that I can only speak with a manager after this is completed. I was becoming increasingly upset and disrespected. During the call my mother overheard the situation as I was at my parents home when calling IQ data services international. My mother stepped in and wired me the balance due so that I could pay it and move forward to speak with XXXX 's manager. XXXX took my payment and transferred the call immediately to someones voicemail. She did not give any payment confirmation. She did not give me information in writing that I requested, I called IQ data services international again to get this information. No one picked up my call and I was transferred over to voicemail XXXX separate times. I believe that XXXX took my payment, marked my case as unable to collect debt, and I am now unable to dispute any sort of claim on my account and the charge would stay on my credit.

In XXXX, I contacted XXXX on Medical ( hereafter Broadstone or management ), an apartment complex located in XXXX XXXX, TX. I was looking for a three-month lease. At first, the management from XXXX showed me an apartment that was suitable for my needs. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filled out the application form and paid the application fee. After finding the apartment suitable, I stopped looking for other living arrangements and relied on XXXX. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, after the application form and nonrefundable fee were already paid, XXXX management informed me that the apartment they had shown me and for which I had applied would not be available until a month later. XXXX management effectively pulled a bait and switch. Because I had relied on XXXX and stopped searching for other living arrangements, I had to accept the new apartment, which XXXX assured me in the same condition. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX informed me that they had approved my application for the other apartment. The terms of the lease were as follows, three months at {$890.00} per month. I moved in on XX/XX/XXXX, and I paid the first month and deposit before moving into the apartment. I paid for a second month on the first week of XXXX. As soon as I moved into the new apartment, I realized that the new apartment was not in the same condition as the first apartment that XXXX initially showed me. I found the following issues : 1. The air conditioner did not work. 2. The washing machine leaked water. 3. The refrigerator leaked water. 4. The bathroom faucets leaked water. 5. The carpet was broken. 6. The smoke detectors did not work. 7. The dishwasher was broken and was dirty from a previous tenants occupancy. Please see attached pictures. I verbally requested that XXXX fixed these issues. On the first occasion, XXXX told me that someone from maintenance would come by the apartment. Nobody from maintenance showed up, and I wasted my entire workday. I made new complaints, but management did not address any of my complaints. Two weeks after moving in, someone from maintenance did show up to fix the washing machine. The next day I used the washer. Once again, the washing machine leaked water. I did not use the washing machine or dishwasher for the remainder of my stay in the apartment. On XX/XX/XXXX, my wife made the first written complaint. Please see attached communication from XX/XX/XXXX. We received an answer from management the next day, XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX stated that maintenance would come by the apartment within two days. Nobody came. On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed the management to complain once again and to put them on notice that the air conditioner did not work. Please see the document attached. Because of the hot climate in Texas, I started developing a skin rash. Yet there was no response from management. Please see the attached pictures showing the temperature around midnight at 82 degrees and a picture of the air conditioner sat for 66 degrees. According to the thermostat, the temperature inside the apartment was 82 degrees, the same as the outside temperature. I took these pictures on the same day, at the same time. The air conditioner was on all day, but it did not work. I am also including another picture that shows the thermostat set at 66 degrees, while the thermostat records the apartment 's temperature at 90 degrees. I have saved videos that show the faucets leaking and would gladly provide them if necessary. Finally, I had had enough. The condition of the apartment was affecting my health, and management was unwilling to fix the problems. Although I had paid the rent until XX/XX/XXXX, I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX. I informed management in writing. Please see the attached picture of the email exchange. I gave XXXX plenty of time to fix the deficiencies with the apartment while living there and after I moved out. Management responded that I was liable for the remainder of the lease agreement. Please note that management still did not express any intention to repair the apartment. I returned to the apartment complex a week later and noticed that new tenants had moved into the apartment. I do not know if XXXX fixed any of the problems with the apartment. In XXXX, a collection company, IQ Data International ( hereafter IQ Data ), started calling me. They said that I owed {$2200.00} because I had broken the lease agreement with XXXX. I provided IQ Data with my address and asked IQ Data that all future communications be in writing. Per Section 809 of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( hereafter, FDCPA ), I also asked for documentation to validate the debt and a copy of the assignment of the debt. The first person I talked to said that it would not be a problem but then said that this would not be necessary since this kind of case is cut and dry. According to the IQ Data representative, I had broken the lease agreement, and providing documentation of the debt would not change anything. Another IQ Data representative called me a week later. I reiterated that I did not want to receive calls, that all communication be in writing, and that I wanted validation of the debt and a copy of the assignment of the debt. The second person said that I would have to pay the debt before getting the documentation and further threatened me with legal actions unless I paid the debt. During a third call, I repeated myself and asked for all communication to be in writing ; I provided my address and asked for validation of the debt and notice of assignment of the debt. This time, the IQ Data representative said that IQ Data had already sent documentation to an older address provided by XXXX, and they did not have to send me the documentation to the address I had provided. During all calls with IQ Data, I explained the following points : 1. I did not want to receive phone calls and wanted all communication in writing. 2. I provided my current address at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. 3. I requested validation of the debt and proof of debt assignment of the debt. 4. I explained that I did not have any responsibility for the debt they were trying to collect and that I wanted the validation to then respond in writing disputing the debt. 5. I also explained that I had not broken the lease agreement because XXXX provided an apartment that was not in livable conditions and refused to fix it. Sometime during the year XXXX, I saw that IQ Data reported the debt to the three credit bureaus. Their actions violated my rights under the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. IQ Data engaged in verbal abuse ; continued calling me after I requested that all communication be in writing ; reported wrong information to the credit bureaus and misrepresented information about the debt ; and refused to provide validation of the debt and a notice of assignment. I should not be liable for the debt for the following reasons : 1. By failing to provide documentation and continue to harass me by phone, IQ Data violated FDCPA rules and my consumer rights. XXXX. XXXX did not provide an apartment that was in livable conditions. XXXX. XXXX did not suffer any financial harm because I paid for the first two months, and XXXX rented the apartment to new occupants before XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, I mitigated possible damages because I returned the apartment before the last day XXXX had paid for, XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX took possession of the apartment and rented it to new occupants, which constitutes acceptance of the apartment. 4. If I were liable for the apartments lease remainder, I should only be responsible for the third month, the amount of {$890.00} since I had paid for the first two of the three months in the agreement. However, IQ Data claims that I owe {$2200.00}. 5. Finally, IQ Data acted in bad faith by knowingly sending documentation to a different address where I did not reside, especially because I had provided IQ Data with my current address. Along with this complaint, I am attaching the following supporting material : Copies of the communications with XXXX. Pictures of the apartment 's condition. Pictures of the air conditioner thermostat and screenshot showing the outside temperature.

I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX , XXXX , and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failure to comply shall lead to complaints being filed with The XXXX XXXX XXXX, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Attorney General stating your companys unlawful collection practices, misrepresentation of creditworthiness, defamation of character, and noncompliance to abide by laws enacted by Congress to protect victims of identity-theft who's credit been impacted by acts of fraud. Because I know my rights under THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION ACT ( CCPA ), and FAIR and ACCURATE CREDIT TRANSACTION ACT of 2003 ( FACTA ). I will be taking action. I also know my rights under this paragraph of Section 312 of the FACTA LAW : SEC.312. Procedures to enhance the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to consumer reporting agencies. ( b ) duty of furnishers to provide accurate information. -- Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) is amended ( 1 ) in subparagraph ( A ), by striking " knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate '' and inserting " knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '', and ( 2 ) by adding at the end of the following : ( D ) DEFINITION -- For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term 'reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ' means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of information. Policy states. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 1681 ), Procedure In Case of Disputed Accuracy. ( a ) Reinvestigation ( 1 ) Reinvestigation ( a ) In general. Subject to Subsection ( f ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts. Finally, you are reporting the INQUIRIES that are the result of the same type of fraudulent activities. It must be noted that I did not apply for credit accounts with the below-listed companies and creditors, some of these are the result of attempts to open accounts, but the companies did not approve the accounts. Therefore, these inquiries must be deleted from within my credit file. You can not delete the fraudulently opened accounts without also deleting the fraudulent inquiries. It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer, I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore, inaccurate in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from my credit files. 1. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN bal. {$1700.00} I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts and/or items do not belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect account information within my credit report. It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity theft. 1.Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than four ( 4 ) business days after the date receipt by such agency of 1.

Earlier this year I was trying to look in to buying a house. It had been years since I checked my credit report and didn't know what it looked like. When I spoke to a loan officer in hopes of becoming pre-qualified for a loan, the loan officer informed me my credit needed some serious work due to a {$27000.00} apartment collection! I remember the apartment complex trying to come after me in the past, but I didn't remember they were attempting to collect {$27000.00}. I'm sure I don't even have to go much farther in this complaint before anybody involved in this complaint realizes this is a ridiculous claim. I did begin the process of disputing this account as well as some others on my credit bureau back on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. Due to the gravity of the collection amount, the disputes were sent out certified to everybody in XXXX with a return receipt requested. For a while, I wasn't receiving a response from anybody which was very frustrating. After a few months of not hearing back from the collection agency or even the credit bureaus, I submitted a complaint with your agency against the credit bureaus in XXXX. That caused the credit bureaus as well as the collector to finally send me documents as well as an itemization on this collection. The itemization was dated XX/XX/XXXX. I wish I could say that fixed the problem but it didn't. It actually made it worse. When the itemization on these apartment collections was given to me, I saw what the charges were for and I just about blew a gasket. It was pretty obvious these charges were bogus. Anybody with half a brain could read between the lines and realize these charges are not legitimate. To break it down, the charges aren't even for damages to the apartment as I left the place clean. In fact, when I left the complex it was because my job layed me off and this complex was specifically for employees of the company. They FORCED me to move out because I was no longer working for them. It was not a pleasant way to move out but I did so anyways. I will be attaching the itemization so you can view what the charges are for. They are claiming {$0.00} for cleaning, {$0.00} for damages, {$0.00} for painting, carpet, insufficient notice, cancellation, rekeying, or anything else. {$0.00} for ALL OF IT. That should be enough to prove that I left the place in good condition and only moved because they forced me to move. What they are charging me for is rather dubious. They are charging me {$2200.00} for a concession reimbursement. What concessions? There were no concessions. And even if there were concessions, you can't reimburse yourself for concessions especially when they were the ones to break their own lease. I can't be charged for being forced to move out because a company wants the apartment to give to another employee. That's crazy talk and we both know it's illegal. That isn't the only thing that's off in their itemization. They are charging me {$770.00} in eviction/legal/late fees. What legal, eviction, late fees? As I stated before, I was forced to move out because I was no longer employed by the company who owned the apartment complex. I did so willingly and they didn't have to evict me. I'm not paying for any fees that are made up. I should be charging them for breaking my lease and forcing me to relocate. But again, that's not the worst of it. As I read further down the itemization I was provided by the collection agency, I was outright disgusted. They are charging me accelerated rent from the move out date of XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! They are charging me {$16000.00} in accelerated rent when I was forced to move out and the place obtained a new tenant within a month! I can prove they obtained a new tenant because one of my old coworkers who STILL works for that company and STILL lives at that complex and was a witness to the whole thing. He let me know someone had moved in shortly after I moved out. I actually just called him recently to ask him and he confirmed with me that he still lives there, still remembers what happened to me, and can confirm that place was rented out within a month. He even said that if his memory wasn't 100 % accurate, it absolutely didn't go past two months before someone else was living there. That place was rented out almost immediately. XXXX, we don't have to be experts or even be there to know that the accelerated rent is a bogus charge. It is more likely than not that a perfectly good apartment with no damages and no painting or even cleaning besides possibly a vacuum or dusting required is going to sit there for 8 months without a tenant. On top of everything else, companies have an obligation to try and mitigate their losses. You can't tell me they even attempted to mitigate their loss if they truly had that place vacant for 8 months which I know for a fact they didn't. Give me a break people. That is still not the end of it. They are claiming I owe {$84.00} in unpaid utilities. I can see that. The month in which I moved probably went unpaid so I guess I'm not angry about that charge. They are also claiming I owed {$2100.00} as of the move out date. That charge I do not agree with. I left owing them nothing. Even if I did, Owing {$2100.00} in what I will assume is past due rent does not equate to {$27000.00}. In the end, the itemized statement says I owed {$21000.00} minus a {$500.00} credit for a deposit which left a balance of {$20000.00}. On that itemized statement given to me by the collection agency there is a post it note which has a handwritten note saying I owe {$1700.00} in interest to the client. I am assuming they mean the apartment complex. That leaves a grand total of {$22000.00}. Finally, on their actual collection notice the collection agency says I owe {$5000.00} as interest to their agency. That is how they came up with a {$27000.00} collection balance. MAN! Just MAN! Like really? Does anybody else see anything wrong with this? And they are still collecting and credit reporting this after my disputes? What more can I say other than I'm probably going to lawyer up after this. I'm actually getting a kick out of this as I write it. REALLY? You are going to say with a straight face that this {$27000.00} collection is legitimate and you are going to continue collecting and credit reporting it? They are claiming {$2500.00} in concessions reimbursement with are not defined. They are claiming {$16000.00} in accelerated rent for 8 months which I have witnesses to prove those are bogus. I'm sure once we sue and subpoena records it will show they were collecting rent for that complex during the time they are claiming I owe them. A handwritten note saying I owe {$1700.00} in interest on top of the {$5000.00} the collection is agency is charging? Do I need to go on? I will leave you with this. If this account is not removed from my credit report post-haste I will seek a lawyer and I will sue the apartment complex as well as the collection agency attempting to collect this debt. I'm done playing games and I will not spend anymore time or another dollar attempting to have this clear and fraudulent collection from my credit report unless its via court so I can collect legal fees and punitive damages from those involved in defrauding me and damaging my good name.

Do not extend credit without first contacting me personally and verifying all applications. Furthermore, as victim of identity-theft I received notification that my personal information was compromise in the several different data breaches. It has made it difficult to resolve this matter in a timely fashion. I have made several attempts to resolve this. If action is not taken to properly assist me with this matter within 15 days. I shall file a class action lawsuit for violating the FCRA and FDCPA violations are as follows not limited to reporting inaccurate information, reporting information that resulted from crime ( s ) and/or crime ( s ) of identity-theft, unlawfully collections of debt, calling after designated hours by law, defamation of character, and misrepresentation of true credit worthiness. I ask that all fraudulent information listed below be removed without question. I have fraudulent accounts, employers, misspellings of my name, and address that are associated with crimes that were committed against me. Once deleting all fraudulent information, you acknowledge that it is indeed fraudulent and resulted from crimes of identity-theft. By doing so you adhere to the FCRA that make it unlawful of any, some, or all information to be transferred, sold to another collection agency or reinserted one 's credit report once it is deemed as fraudulent. You also understand in order to reinsert information to a consumers credit report notification must be given 5 days prior to reinsertion. Failure to comply will also be a violation of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practice. The below-listed accounts by the Original Creditors, who have reported these accounts within my credit reports, were not opened by me. I also did not give my authorization for anyone else to open these accounts. Someone else of who did these that I did not know. Policy states.

Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts.

The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore, inaccurate in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out go my credit files. 1.

In an effort to ensure maximum accuracy, I pulling my credit report in pursuit of a safe home for my family. I immediately noticed an account opened XX/XX/XXXX from a company named IQ Data International. This account was just about 3 years old at the time, furnishing incorrect data. However, I never received correspondence of this debt. Since I was never contacted concerning this debt, I disputed the account as I had no knowledge of it, so it is not mine. It was returned as " verified '' under FCRA. So, I reached out to this company directly and it has been a battle of unlawful practices and consumer mistreatment ever since. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter disputing the validity of this debt. In response to my initial debt validation request, I was sent a debt validation letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. IQ Data International responded without presenting any evidence supporting their claim that I owe this debt, in fact, it reads as a first notice of debt collection, only specifying the principle balance and including interest fees; not addressing any of the written requests from my initial letter. Also, this letter states an interest accrual of XXXX percent per annum, but there is no contract or written agreement produced, per request of debt validation to show the legality of this practice. This letter shows multiple po box addresses that are NOT included on this company 's business licenses. This letter suggest daily interest and late charges without permissible purpose. This company makes mention of IQ Data International once, with no mention of their actual company name ( searchable to the listed po box addresses where they want payment remitted for this alleged debt ). These deceptive practices have prolonged the correspondence with this company while in pursuit of rectifying this matter. It has also created distrust as a consumer in this company and their merit to collect debt. I have no knowledge of this account, it's alleged fees or the claims made that I owe this debt but this company continues to collect interest and report this debt to the National Credit Bureaus. Everything aforementioned are clear FDCPA violations. The debt validation and method of validation letters I sent in XX/XX/XXXX were mailed certified, with the second letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) including a return receipt. The return receipt notice for the second dispute letter was received on XX/XX/XXXX. After a month of waiting, I did not receive any documentation that IQ Data was even investigating this matter. There was no notice of intent or further correspondence from this company. Since I did not hear back, I sent a follow up letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ). This letter was to outline their failure to validate this debt and request immediate deletion, per FDCPA and FCRA regulation. The law allocates 30 days to investigate a dispute ( per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ). If the information request can not be validated within the 30 day time period, then the account must be deleted from my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received mail correspondence from IQ Data International, it was postmarked XX/XX/XXXX. However, when I opened the contents of the mail, the letters were deceptively dated XX/XX/XXXX as if they were the initial validation that I requested on XX/XX/XXXX when I sent my first debt validation letter. This would make the request 35 days past federal and state law. Unverifiable and inaccurate, grounds for deletion. However, it has been over 5 months and this erroneous account is still reporting on the joint parties credit reports. This derogatory mark is damaging my credit worthiness and has made it VERY difficult to find a place for my family. IQ Data International has simply chosen to ignore federal and state laws while claiming to have verified the content of this erroneous account. I've disputed this account and challenged the validity of this debt multiple times, I have stated that there was never any written notice of debt sent to me before this was reported on my credit, which is illegal and I have no knowledge of the alleged debt owed. IQ Data International has only continued to accrue interest on this debt and report this fraudulent account to national credit bureaus monthly. No further information provided to me. In closing, IQ Data International has withheld information from me that constitutes proof of legal debt. This information includes : Original creditor contract with signature ( s ), Business license with d/b/a state certifications, Written agreement ( s ) to base collection + Interest fees ( there has been well over $ 300+ in interest fees applied to this account ) and the names of anyone furnishing this data including confidential information like my SSN #. Not only were those requests ignored, but there's been a lack of respect for legal time frames and cooperation pertaining this matter as a consumers. I've made note of the direct violation of the FDCPA and FCRA to IQ Data and have been met with no response to any of my requests, demands or questions. To be clear, I have not entered a contract with this agency for collection of any debt or the illegal interest payments they claim is owed nor do I accept ownership of this account and charges listed. The correspondence between us has been fully documented since XX/XX/XXXX including the deceptive practices like misrepresenting their company, illegal collection of debt and interest fees, failure to validate/verify legal debt and failure to comply with federal and state laws.

I received a notice in the mail yesterday, XX/XX/2021, that I.Q. Data International had a collection open and were attempting to collect money from me because of a debt owed to an apartment complex I lived at 2 and a half years ago. I was confused about why I even owed the money as I had never received notification from the complex and thought I had settled everything with them. In any case, I figured I would call and try to get details on the debt and set up a low payment plan if needed so that I wouldnt have to stress about it. I simply wanted to do the right thing and reach out so I did and spoke to someone named XXXX. I explained the situation and stated that if it would be easiest I was willing to set up a payment plan but due to my family currently living on one income and already being stressed about money due to the pandemic I was only able to do about {$50.00} a month but could make higher payments in a few months. I also stated that I didnt really understand the meaning of the debt and wanted to reach out to my old property management company because to my understanding I had settled everything with them and remember signing a paper saying so and giving them my new address when I moved in case anything changed and I needed to pay anything else. I was told that the property management company would not talk to me and that I could choose not to pay if I wanted to but they would be forced to proceed. That scared me because Ive been trying to work on my credit. I tried to fill out a hardship request to work out a low monthly payment but was told that I did not qualify and the lowest payment they would accept was {$320.00} a month for three months or I could pay it in full and save {$100.00} off the total. I was told by XXXX to ask family for a loan or to have my husband try and get a loan and that I should be able to afford it because I didnt have any hardships. When I stated that losing my job in hospitality because of a pandemic and my husband having to suddenly support our family on his construction worker income was my hardship XXXX told me that she was a single mom with two kids. Essentially trying to make me feel bad about not being able to agree on the spot to the {$320.00} a month payment. A lower payment option was not offered. I was told to call back the same day or they would proceed. So I did what she said and reached out to family for help and the response that I got was basically wait, why do you even owe money? And the more that I thought about it I was like wait, I dont know. So I reached out to my old apartment complex who was under new management and I was never able to get ahold of the old management to discuss the situation and see if the debt was even valid. At this point Im wondering if Im being scammed somehow so I researched the collection agency and was amazed at the number of law suits and complaints against them. I then called the collection agency back to touch base and explain that I wanted to try and reach out to the property management company and get more details on the debt owed before I moved forward with trying to set up payments because I didnt feel comfortable with giving my debit card information to a stranger on the phone from a company with a bad reputation, bad customer service, and I had no reason to be sure I owed the debt in the first place. I was again told that I would not be able to speak to the property management company. XXXX attempted to explain the debt but nothing that she said lined up with my actual experience. I again stated that I was happy to set up a way to pay that I felt comfortable with but I first wanted to be sure that I actually owed the money. She said that she did not want to go in circles with me and that was fine but they would be forced to proceed. My phone died at this point and I plugged it in and called back asking for her manager. I again explained the situation and that I was just wanting more details and to make sure everything was happening above board. The manager was extremely rude. Ive dealt with plenty of bullies but this bully takes the cake. I cant recall his name, he honestly came at me in such a heated way that I couldnt even quote everything he said because I was so shaken. I do know that he accused me of refusing to pay the debt and said Now youre talking to the manager and I can send this to your credit report right now. I tried to explain that I wasnt refusing to pay the debt I was simply wanting more information on it before I gave my banking information to a company that Ive seen had a class action lawsuit against them because I did not feel comfortable with the situation. I was cut off and told that I was talking over him and that it was rude. I said that he had done the same thing to me and I was trying to be respectful but needed to speak. He went on about hurting my credit and when he paused I said am I allowed to speak? He replied, absolutely not. And again said he was going to report the debt to my credit. I said I wanted to join the class action lawsuit and he hung up. Defeated I tried to get my brother to call for me and see if someone else explaining that I just wanted more information on the debt and a way to pay it that felt safe and didnt debilitate my familys finances. My brother got exactly the same treatment. Even the speech on interrupting. Now that Ive taken more time to research the company Im glad I didnt give them my card information. It seems they are known for their shady tactics and bullying. I just hopes that this helps someone.

I am owed {$280.00} for an apartment I leased from XX/XX/XXXX till XX/XX/XXXX. I've contacted multiple agents at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Residential/Billing, and now IQ Data International and informed them charging me an excessive cleaning and carpet cleaning fee for a unit left in pristine condition upon move-out, was unlawful in accordance with Washington state law and the demands for additional moneys from me were incorrect. Despite me paying {$1700.00} total in security, animal, key fob, and parking deposits, I've yet to be refunded for anything from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. An incorrect debt has been sent to the collections company IQ Data Intelligence and it has negatively impacted my credit score. I only recently discovered this unresolved debt since a very aggressive and vulgar collections agent contacted my personal cell phone and demanded payment and my physical address. On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for apartment XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, detailed all of the required security deposits needed upon move-in, including an additional security deposit of {$1000.00} due at move-in, a {$250.00} pet deposit, {$50.00} key fob deposit, and a supposedly waived {$500.00} standard security deposit ( later reduced to {$300.00} ). XXXX shared all deposits would be refundable at move-out. I moved into unit XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and paid {$980.00} for my prorated rent due. After signing my initial lease, a few days later a new and updated lease was sent on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX informing me that I needed to pay an additional {$300.00} in security deposits. The XX/XX/XXXX email from XXXX XXXX included an image attachment of the changes made to my lease and it read : " As you can see the total due for move-in was actually {$1600.00} which includes the additional security deposit of {$1000.00}, {$50.00} key fob deposit, {$250.00} animal deposit and {$300.00} animal fee. Unfortunately, I somehow miscalculated this amount in the welcome email that I sent you so we will need an additional {$300.00} payment to your account. '' In total, I paid {$1600.00} in security deposits upon move-in, with a {$300.00} payment made on XX/XX/XXXX and {$1300.00} paid on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid an additional {$50.00} parking garage deposit to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Bringing my total of refundable deposits to {$1700.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I terminated my lease and moved out of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was deep cleaned and left in the condition in which it was given ; clean. Despite this, I received a move out statement from Assistant Community Manager, XXXX XXXX, outlining what my security deposit was applied to : - Base Rent ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 17 days {$1100.00} - Utility Reimbursements ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 17 days {$43.00} - Garage Parking ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 17 days {$65.00} - Dog Rent ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 17 days {$27.00} - Sewage Capacity ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 17 days {$20.00} - Security Deposits credit - {$1100.00} - Pet Deposit credit - {$250.00} - Cleaning {$130.00} - Carpet Cleaning {$65.00} - Paint {$150.00} The move-out statement included multiple errors, including missing security deposit amount, missing garage deposit, and missing key fob deposit. I disputed the excessive cleaning and carpet cleaning fees, in addition to the utility reimbursement charge and received the following email from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX : " We understand the apartment was cleaned by you when you returned keys, but both the cleaning and carpet cleaning were standard charges due to XXXX. '' The email continuous, " We recently experienced a change in management, and I am no longer at the XXXX. If you have any further questions or concerns, you will need to reach out to XXXX XXXX who the new management is. '' I disputed the charges with XXXXXXXX XXXX multiple times via email and instructed them to refrain from contacting me, each time I was ignored. XXXX XXXX was contacted on XX/XX/XXXX and twice on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX sent me two 'settlement offers ' via email requesting that I pay them {$250.00} and {$190.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX of IQ Data Collections and told I owe a debt with interest to them for my lease at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told her I paid almost {$2000.00} in security deposits and it would be impossible for me to owe them anything. She then listed the charges from the move-out statement, including the cleaning and carpet cleaning fee, utility charge, and paint fee, all of which I disputed and reiterated that I had paid almost {$2000.00} in security deposits to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I then threatened legal action for XXXX 's harassment, to which she mocks me and yells at me. I immediately called the FTC for a two way call to report XXXX 's behavior. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the XXXX, who told me to contact XXXXXXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX who refused to talk to me and provide their name before hanging up on me. I attempted to reach someone at XXXXXXXX XXXX 23 times before the line was disconnected. I then contact IQ Data, where I was again sent to XXXX who instructed me to email proof of my dispute to XXXX. Prior to ending the call, XXXX referred to our conversation yesterday and aggressively asked for my physical address again to which I responded, " I don't feel comfortable providing my address at this time ''. An email was sent yesterday to XXXX Billing and today to IQ Data to dispute the charges and request what I owed ; {$280.00}.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX as I was driving home from work and I received an unexpected call from a man in which I did not get his name as I was driving- he stated I owed money from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX kept my security deposit and never sent me a final itemized deduction letter as to what I owed. I was forced to move out after living there only XXXX month due to the undisclosed cockroach infestation that the apartment had. They rented out my apartment XXXX month after I left, so it was my understanding that I only owed for XXXX month of rent which was approx {$1100.00} minus the {$500.00} security deposit that they kept ) the man stated an amount I can not verify because I was driving, but I believe it was well into the $ 2000+ range in which I explained I do not agree with that amount as I believe what I owed was approximately {$2000.00} less than the amount he stated. I told him I do not agree with the number he gave me and that I dispute those charges. He then became aggressive and said " Fine then I will note it as refusal to pay '' and hung up on me. That night on XX/XX/XXXX after going home, I looked online into " what to do when you don't agree with a debt owed '' and came across an article that stated that legally, I must receive a validation letter from the debt collector within 10 days of their first contact with me ( phone call XX/XX/XXXX ) or I can request XXXX from them by asking for the debt collector 's mailing address and sending the request via postal mail. The next day XX/XX/XXXX I called back the number for the debt collector, ( Cell phone screen shots showing calls attached ) which I now know as IQ Data International Inc. when the person answered, I stated that I was calling to get my account number and company address, in which she then transferred me to an unknown extension. A man answered and I said " Hi I received a call yesterday and I'm calling for my account number and your company 's address. '' The man verified who I was and repeated information from the day before XXXX XXXX being the debtor and I told him I understood who it was from and that I just wanted the company 's address and my account number. He proceeded to tell me I am being rude when I told him i was not, and I was just looking for my account number and company address. After speaking over me a few more times telling me I was rude and telling me he was going to hang up on me, I kept asking nicely to please give me my information, the man hung up on me. I then called back from my work phone in which I had to give them my phone number to verify my account. When that man asked why I was calling, I told him how I was looking for my account number and the company address and that i just called and the man I previously talked to called me rude and hung up on me- this man then hung up on me as well. I called back again from my work phone and it just rang. I was unable to obtain my account number with IQ Data International Inc. or the company 's address. After searching online, I found XXXX different addresses for the company. Including two po box es. On XX/XX/XXXX I printed and filled out XXXX copies of a form requesting validation of debt from IQ Data International Inc. ( Attached ). I had the letters notarized and sent all three copies via certified mail the same day on XX/XX/XXXX to all three addresses ( Receipts attached showing the tracking and that they were all signed for on XX/XX/XXXX ) I never did receive any type of letter or any correspondence from IQ Data International Inc. after their initial contact on XX/XX/XXXX or after receiving and signing for my request on XX/XX/XXXX as stated under the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ( FDCPA ) in which IQ Data International Inc. is in violation. Today is XXXX 29 days from IQ Data International Inc. 's initial call to me and 22 days from when they received my request for a validation of debt and I still have not received any correspondence from them. This morning XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I receive an email from XXXX XXXX that IQ Data International inc. has reported a collection/chargeoff on my credit. ( attached ) Again with no letter of validation of debt, no other communication, not even via phone, no account number, no notification of why they say I owe the balance they claim, not formal way to dispute it and no opportunity to pay anything at all towards the balance I believe is actually owed. How can I properly or legally dispute a debt, or even pay a debt if the company, IQ Data International Inc. will not give me the opportunity or will not give me further information and hangs up on me and doesn't even respond as they legally should, to a notarized, certified and signed for letter via the postal office? This is unfair. It is a violation of the collection practices act for a debt collector to refuse to send a validation notice or fail to respond to my request for a validation letter. By filing this complaint, this is the first step out of as many possible that I have to do to properly and legally rectify this issue. I did everything I was supposed to do and in return have been violated against. Thank you very much for your time as I know this was lengthy. XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/23, I was contacted by a XXXX XXXX with XXXX. I have my phone set up to reject unknown numbers and only learned that this was a debt collection agency because my mother called me and informed me that XXXX XXXX contacted her to get in touch with me on the matter, which I understand is not allowed ( please correct me if I am wrong ). I returned XXXX 's call on 1/4 and he informed me it was an attempt to collect a debt for The XXXX Apartments. This took me by surprise because The Collection had my forwarding address but I never received anything about owing them money until this call from XXXX and I inquired with XXXX what address the communications were sent to and after great hesitation, he recited the address and it was my address at the apartment trying to collect the debt, not the forwarding address I provided. You will be able to see proof of this in the file I have attached labeled " Incorrect Address Dispute Letter ''. I asked XXXX to explain what I was being charged for and he listed off the charges which I informed him were all incorrect and that I had photos and proof to nullify them. I asked him if I could have a few days to contact the apartment complex and understand what went wrong and provide them the same photo evidence but XXXX informed me that he could not give me a few days because he has now been in contact with me and that he wouldn't be able to delay the debt from being forwarding to collections since he and I spoke. I asked what was within my power to do to pause the debt from being sent to collections and instead of informing me that I could request proof of the debt or dispute the debt, he said the only way I could delay the debt going into collections was by providing a payment method to put on file ; he said it could be a credit or debit card and that it could be expired so that I do not actually get charged. In my ignorance of situations like this, I told him that was fine and he forwarded me to someone in their finance department and I provided her a card number but locked the card so that I would not be charged until I spoke to the apartment complex.I got in touch with the apartment complex the next day on XX/XX/23 and they informed me there was nothing they could do since the debt was now with debt collectors. I began researching my rights because I KNOW this debt is incorrect and found that I could request proof of debt and that the collection agency would have to stop attempting to collect the debt until that proof was provided. On XX/XX/23, I sent via certified mail, the letter requesting proof of debt ( file attached ). I contacted XXXX at his extension number and informed him that I was requesting proof of the debt and he offered to send it via email, I declined and requested it in paper and let him know I sent in a letter requesting proof of the debt and requested he stop trying to collect the debt until the proof was provided and he vehemently declined stating it was not the law to stop collection attempts until proof of debt is provided. I informed him it is indeed the law and that he did not offer requesting proof of debt or disputing the debt as an option to delay collections when I asked him what my options were, he only told me that I had to put a card on file. My certified mail letter requesting proof of debt was delivered and signed for on XX/XX/23 ( screenshot attached ). XXXX repeatedly tried to charge my credit card even after the letter was delivered. After some time, the attempted charges stopped but I then saw there was a derogatory mark on my credit from XXXX. At that point, I still did not receive the requested proof of debt. On XX/XX/23, I decided it would be best to dispute the debt since it seemed like I would not be getting the proof that I owed it and it was now a derogatory mark on my credit which was reported on XX/XX/23 ( screenshot attached ). I sent the dispute letter via certified mail ( file attached ) and it was delivered and signed for on XX/XX/23 ( screenshot attached ). In that dispute letter, I also attached the evidence/photos determining this debt is incorrect ( all evidence files attached ). Near the end of XXXX, I get a letter in the mail from XXXX that was dated XX/XX/23 ( file attached ) and it was in reference to my request for proof of debt and the file only contained an itemized list of charges and the first couple of pages from my lease with the apartment complex. From my understanding, an itemized list of charges does not actually classify as proof of debt and it was the same itemized list XXXX recited during our calls that I already disputed in the dispute letter sent on XX/XX/23. I then tried my hand at disputing the debt through the XXXX credit bureau and received a letter from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/23 stating " no new information was provided and that the decision remains unchanged. '' ( file attached ). I am submitting this complaint in hopes to get the derogatory mark removed from my credit or at least negotiate the correct amount, which would be the last month of utilities, paid and then have the derogatory marked removed, because I am indeed being asked to pay a large amount more on a debt that is incorrect.

My wife and I moved out of an apartment managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, because I transferred locations ( out of state ) for employment. The manager approved our early lease termination, without penalty, as my wife had previously mentioned it to her, in-person. We paid our prorated rent for XXXX XXXX and monthly fees of {$85.00}, that cleared my wife 's bank on XX/XX/XXXX. When the manager received the utilities bill for the previous month, she my wife with the amount, and she wrote another check for {$140.00} that cleared her bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Shortly thereafter, we received our full deposit back. It wasn't until XX/XX/XXXX, that my wife received a bill, in her name stating that she owed money. She contacted I.Q. Data International , Inc., immediately, and spoke with a gentlemen, whose name she could not get. When she asked him what she owed the money for he said, " Maybe it's for touch-up painting or cleaning or other late charges. '' When she told him that we already paid everything and received our deposit back and that this must be a mistake, he insisted it was correct. She told him that the information was incorrect and that we owed nothing, which would have been their verbal cue to investigate the matter. At this time, she requested the walk-through that mentioned any damages or repairs ( there were none, My wife has a video of the entire apartment walk-through that I did with my wife ). Additionally, the apartment manager did a walk-through with us. This young man also told me that some charges might have to do with COVID. '' We paid our rent throughout COVID. Then, my wife was transferred to XXXX XXXX who preceded to ask her personal questions like : " Where do you work? '' " What is your monthly income? '' When she told him that she does not have to answer those questions, he told her that in order for them to send her a verification of the debt, she would have to answer his questions. My wife also mentioned that some time after we moved out, we received a strange email mentioning to click on the link to pay money that we owe XXXX XXXX XXXX, where we resided. She found it suspicious and immediately phoned the XXXX XXXX XXXX office to let the manager know. She told my wife that she was receiving other calls, and there must have been a data breach and not to open the email. She did not, and deleted it. She explained this supposed data breach to both gentlemen. Fast forward to XXXX XXXX, XXXX - My called .Q. Data and asked XXXX to connect her with a supervisor. My wife was transferred to XXXX ( who was not a manager ) told my wife to email a dispute letter to XXXX. During this conversation he tried to convince my wife that we moved out on XX/XX/XXXX or the XXXX. My wife sent an email requesting validation of the debt within 5 working days. She also phoned XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX who told her that their office has no information on collection accounts and she would have to contact the Collection Agency directly. When my wife asked to be transferred to the appropriate department that would have that information, that there has to be a department that has the records like bookkeeping. she hung up on my wife. My wife called two other times, and she left one message, that call was never returned. Shortly thereafter, my wife emailed a request for the validation of the debt to IQ Data, cc to XXXX XXXX XXXX. We finally received the validation of the debt in late XXXX, dated mailed XX/XX/XXXX, but postmarked XXXX XXXX. However, on XXXX XXXX, I.Q. Data had already reported the debt on my credit report. We immediately wrote a dispute through XXXX This caused my XXXX score to go down, and they reported the account, but not as disputed, as required. On XX/XX/XXXX, my wife emailed both companies with a three page letter as well as sent it certified mail with return receipt disputing all charges, giving specific reasons and documentation. ( attached ) The only thing my wife told them to ask upon request was the 4.5 minute video she recorded of the apartment walk-through the day we officially vacated. The still have not asked. We have yet to hear an official response. However, they sent my wife another bill in the mail, which she wrote another note to them and resent the email with documentation. They continue to not follow the rules. They continue to ding my credit report each month with interest and has failed to contact any of the credit agencies in regards to the dispute. My wife has already filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, which had hundreds of complaints. On XX/XX/XXXX, my filed a complaint with the Attorney General 's office for the state of Washington as well as an individual complaint with your agency. She has started speaking with one particular individual from IQ Data 's office who is keeping her updated of any progress. Thus far, the account shows to be in the dispute department, and my wife was told that all of our documentation is attached to our file. Today, my wife received notification that her credit score dropped XXXX points. Please help us! This is not fair, taking advantage of ladies in their late XXXX XXXX. Thank goodness we know better.

In XXXX, I received a bill from I.Q. Data International Inc. ( WA ) dated XXXX XXXX, 2021. The bill stated that I owed the company {$400.00} due to bills associated from moving out of my apartment, the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( VA ) which is managed by XXXX XXXX ( CA ). I contacted I.Q. Data by telephone and explained that upon moving out of the apartment, the property manager refused inspection and would not take the keys due to covid. I told the manager that inspection is a tenant right and she told me I would be fine if I took photographs and kept receipts. I paid all rents due until the end of my lease, associated termination fees, and utilities/services for two-weeks beyond the move out date. However, because the manager never administratively accounted for the move with XXXX corporate headquarters, I continued to be billed being billed for utilities and services un-rendered. Multiple attempts to contact JXXXX XXXXy telephone, email, and the XXXX were unanswered until the XXXX closed the case, at which time XXXX stated the debt was passed on. I explained that I was concerned that I was receiving a letter from a debt collection agency stating that I had been deliquent on a bill that I never received from XXXX I.Q. Data told me I could send them evidence to support my claim and they would dispute it with XXXX. I submitted photos documenting fresh paint, a threadbare carpet, receipts w/photos of new items that XXXX was also billing me for in addition to proof that I no longer resided in the state of Virginia. I requested that XXXX provide evidence otherwise showing that I had still resided there, items that were replaced, etc. The documents were sent via registered mail with a signature required through XXXX XXXX which was received by the company at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and signed for by an employee with the initials, XXXX. Since Data IQ 's receipt of my letter, the company continued to mail me bills. I called the company and explained that I had not received a reply to my letter requesting evidence. The company representative told me that the legal department decided that the bill would stand and that I needed to pay the {$400.00}. When I tried to explain, he said without further evidence from myself I had to pay or else the matter would be reported to the credit bureaus and effect my rating. After conferring with an attorney, I wrote I.Q. Data International another letter and sent it USPS registered with signature verification XXXXXXXX The letter was received at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2021 and signed for by I Data. In the letter, I specifically stated I was seeking, " proof of debt in accordance with the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tennant Act and Third-Party Debt Collection Act. '' Once again, I.Q. Data did not respond to my request and upon checking my credit this week, I found that that my credit score went down hundreds of points due to this dispute. Until this point I had near perfect credit. I paid off a house, multiple cars, and all student loans. I was not however, giving in to my rights being violated by XXXX and then extorted for money afterwards. To the best of my understanding, under the FDCPA, debt validation is also a federal right and I appreciate your assistance on this matter. I understand this has been a lengthy letter, but feel the need to clear up my concerns about the apartment which led to this matter. I chose to keep this information separate as to not interfere with my compliant against I.Q. Data however, I feel the background is needed. Before I moved out, I learned that the apartment was ripping out all of the carpets and chipping/grinding tile to replacing them with vinyl flooring once tenants moved out. As a result of the debris and mess, apartments had to be completely repainted however, XXXX was unknowingly charging past tenants for carpet cleaning and touch up paint as part of their move out fees. When I asked the manager about it, she provided conditional answers that would have required an inspection. When I asked for one in accordance with the lease and Virginia Tennant right laws, she refused due to covid. Then when I went to turn in my key, she stated she also could not take it due to covid. A few weeks after moving out, I called the office because I had not received any final documents as I concerned they would in fact charge me for carpet cleaning whereas the carpet was actually but the woman who answered the phone thought I did not move out for another month and a half. After explaining the situation about the keys, she stated she would speak with the manager. A few weeks after that I received a bill for utilities for the month of XXXX when I had moved out a month prior. I attempted to contact the XXXX cooperate office by telephone, and sent them an email explaining the situation and violation of state law regarding tenant right to inspection and proof of debt however, the company did not respond and immediately reported me to a debt collector.. Thanks again for your time and assistance. Please let me know if you need any additional information or copies of the letter I sent to IQ data. I can also provide you with others this has happened to if need be.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX at approximately XXXX, I was contacted by IQ Data International. The agent would not provide the company name, and would not repeat his name when asked -- he said it extremely fast and mumbled so I couldn't hear it and wouldn't repeat it. I later found out from calling the company and speaking with another agent that the person who called me was XXXX XXXX. The agent, XXXX, began to ask me personal questions about prior addresses and contact information but still had not told me the name of the company, what was going on ( he was attempting to collect a false debt on behalf of an apartment complex ) and was incredibly abusive and threatening. He read off an address to me that I informed him was never my place of residence, and that he likely had the wrong person -- I told him I'd recently had information stolen and I often have accounts confused with another person of the same name from doctors, hospitals, etc, so I was not comfortable answering any questions without knowing what was going on and because I didn't feel safe. The agent then said that no one commits fraud on apartment applications and read off my phone number and name again, and then read off my father 's name with more incorrect contact information. Throughout the call, I never was informed of any amount owed, but was threatened and harassed multiple times. I also informed the agent I had received no communications about any debt I owed, via phone or mail, and that made the conversation more confusing and upsetting. Specifically, the agent told me to " cut the theatrics and drama '' when I said I wasn't comfortable answering the questions and when I specifically told the agent he was making me feel unsafe, he mocked me and there was a laugh in the background of the call. I was called a liar, directly, multiple times. The threats included " taking action against you '', " who is [ father 's name ] on the application? Should I call him and tell him what's going on? '' and when I said I wanted him to stop contacting me and then when I said I would be ending the call because I felt so threatened, he said " that's fine, but I want you to REMEMBER this call when we take action against you. '' After repeated requests for a manager after that comment, he finally agreed but refused to give me the phone number, the manager 's name, and again refused to repeat his name in a way that was audible. I was on hold after a transfer until the call dropped. Following this call, I began a police report because I was so afraid of the random call I received from someone who wouldn't identify themselves and had gotten a hold of some kind of information about me. I called the number back and got the company name from a prerecorded greeting, and I was eventually transferred to a second agent. The second agent confirmed that the first person I spoke with did work for the company and that she didn't believe I was in danger. She explained what the alleged debt was ( the amount was significantly more than what they alleged the original amount owed was, and the first agent had given me completely incorrect information about the address associated with the debt and no information about what the debt was ) and attempted to collect payment, informing me that this would affect my credit. I told the agent that not only was this not on my credit, but it was removed over 4 years ago when I contacted the credit bureaus with proof that I had paid the original creditor ( at the time I submitted a scan of the check that they had cashed ) and that IQ Data International had no right to collect it. I informed the agent of this, and also informed her that if they are saying I owed for a lease fee from XXXX of XXXX that the statute of limitations had long since expired, as it was almost 8 years from the time that the supposed final payment was missed. The agent told me I should still pay " regardless of any statutes '' because otherwise I would accrue fees and additional interest on my account with IQ Data International, and " action would be taken against me '' and it would " affect my credit ''. I believe there was an attempt to coerce me into making a payment in order to begin the clock over on the collections window per Indiana statute. I was told to make a payment of any amount to bring down the balance, but since the statute of limitations runs from the time of last payment, I believe this was a deceptive tactic. I had to mute the call with the second agent several times to gather myself because I was so terrified by my conversation with the first agent. I understood after speaking with the second agent what was going on, but I was having a XXXX XXXX from the first agent triggering my XXXX with his abusive language and threats. At the end of the call with the second agent, I was forwarded to the voicemail for a manager ( I believe his name was XXXX XXXX and informed him of what happened. I've never been contacted with a resolution.

On XX/XX/XXXX our former apartment, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, sent me a final bill of {$910.00}, after we informed them of our intention to vacate after living there for 4 years. After we moved out we went to the leasing office severally in order to get a staff to join us to our vacated unit so they can dot heir inspection before we gave them the unit key, but they said all their staff was still busy, we shouldn't bother too much about it, usual wear and tear after 4 years will at most be {$600.00}. So we handed them the key and left. On XX/XX/XXXX th I got a cold call from a lady who said she was an agent for the collection company IQ Data, who was hired by my previous apartment to collect {$5900.00} for damages. I instantly disputed the bogus charge and questioned the fact XXXX XXXX sent us straight to collections without making any claim, no breakdown of damages, no report, no correspondence whatsoever to us, though, they had not only our phone numbers and email ( and they have been communicating with us in that way for over 4 years ) they also had our forwarding address. After i disputed this, and was trying to resolve this bogus and malicious charge, IQ Data continually called and harassed me, causing me emotional and psychological stress and panic. They reported it to the Credit Bureau, left a derogatory comment on my report. Wrecking my score. My wife 's as well. Yet, they didn't let us breathe for a second. Raining down angry calls and threats on us, every other day. One one occasion, when the manager called to harass me, I reminded him that this case was still under dispute and I am in the middle of resolving the issue with my previous apartment, he told me it was " illegal '' for me to reach out to them again, and i should only deal with them. And he went on pouring threats, in the meanest voice, and the harshest, condescending tone, of how they will hit my credit and interests will be added daily. Another occasion, when I was driving down the freeway, he called again, harassing me, and yelling. I told him I was emotionally and psychologically shaken by this to the point where it is giving me a XXXX XXXX and i was driving on the freeway, so that wasn't the best time to continue this conversation. He replied telling " he doesn't care, all he wants is the money. Now will you be paying with a XXXX or XXXX? '' I repeated what I said, telling him of my XXXX XXXX and that I was driving. Please can you at least wait until i pull over, park the car and call him back. He coldly repeated, " XXXX or XXXX? '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX " agent assigned to the case '' called my wife, trying to make her convince me to negotiate a middle ground. XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, we called the lady. And while we were talking with her and trying to find a middle ground. She put us on hold ... then in comes the manager on the phone, roaring like a vengeful lion, pouring threats with his icy steel voice, condescending tone, reminding us he knows where we live, he is in XXXX Washington ( I don't know if that was to provide him some sort of alibi ) and he will do whatever it takes to get their money from us. No more negotiations, wait and see what I will do to you people. '' My wife and I were so shaken by that direct threat that our voice was quivering when the lady came back to the phone. ( I recorded part of it, but they said all their calls are recorded, so Im sure they can provide the full phone conversation if asked. ) I repeated the manager 's threats to the agent and she affirmed it, saying, " yes, now, we will do whatever it takes, and go any length to recover our money from you. '' My wife even asked her if we could at least pay in installments, since we don't have money now. And she replied " we will not finance your debt for you. We need that money in full and we need it today. Go get a loan from somewhere, or wait for the consequences. '' Then she hung up. We were so shaken by this because they have our address. We have young kids at home. And they sound very... dangerous, mean and vengeful, as if we had known them and hurt them in someway previously. I didn't want to take any chances, I instantly called XXXX and informed the police of this ver disturbing, threatening conversation. A dispatch police officer was sent over to our residence. They took our statement and offered us advice. And we were also advised to report this case to you, so you can review the conduct of this company, IQ Data and let us know if this is a fair practice of a debt collector, especially in a case in dispute where the apartment who hired them knows we didn't damage the counter top, and they have no way of proving it was not damaged before we moved in there. On the contrary we have offered them proof that it was, by reminding them of the circumstance in which we moved in there, and providing further evidence to that fact.

My lease in XXXX XXXX XXXX matured XX/XX/XXXX. The lease stated that the apartments would contact me regarding a renewal notice and if they did not do so, I was obligated to a 30 day notification. I contacted to Manager to ask about how to notify ( through email or verbally ) and she said that I was required to send a 60 day written notice, I then explained that I had not received a renewal notice from her and per the contract I was only obligated to give the 30 day notice I was attempting to provide. After a small verbal dispute, I reminded her that she was in breech of contract anyway because the apartments had failed to repair 3 different issues in the apartment that had been reported, one being that the door to my garage was broken and the door knob fell off and I could not secure my garage as a result and the only thing that they sent the maintenance man to fix, broke 2 months later, and most importantly, she had failed to repair the gates at the apartment when they broke and as a result there was a increase in crime ( drugs being sold, and cars getting robbed ) to the point that there were notices sent out to residents warning them of the recent crime sprees yet never fixed the gates to keep non residents out and I was not the only resident leaving as a result. I then opted out of any further conversation and proceeded to draft a written notice to the property notifying the apartments that I had found a house and would be moving at the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX. When I attempted to deliver the notice at the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX, the individual at the front desk refused to accept it, and stated " I can not accept that from you '', then I said, " fine, I will leave it here '' and put it on the desk and walked away. The first week of XXXX I moved, I then spent two days cleaning out what we did not take and carrying the trash out and cleaned the apartment including baseboards, ceiling fans, light switches, blinds, fireplace, the carpet, disinfected the bathrooms and kitchen with XXXX, and swept the balcony down with hot soapy XXXX water as well as the garage and documented the apartments condition upon my exit with photos and a video. I then went to the apartment office and returned my key and my Fob for the broken entrance gate and asked if the wanted to do a walk through of the apartment and the individual who accepted my key said " no everything was good ''. I never caused this apartment complex damage, I was honest through the whole duration as a resident in that complex and I did everything I could to do the right thing in my situation. I paid every bit of rent to them that was owed on time, I honored my lease and I moved out in a very honorable way. That apartment needed the carpets to have a default cleaning and the small repairs earlier reported to be completed and the apartment was move in ready. I never received any correspondence from the apartments. I was notified of them attempting to collect from me via the collection agency report submission of this alleged debt to my credit report. This should be illegal. An apartment should not be able to cause damage to someone's life. as a result of this report on my credit, I have been denied the ability to lease a new home, buy a car, or obtain credit through XXXX because of this mark decreasing my credit score by a substantial amount. I contacted the collection agency regarding the collection and they just immediately said yes you owe XXXX $ but if you pay XXXX $ today we will settle with you. I refused and asked to speak to someone in charge but I could only get through to a call center agent. They contacted me again in summer of XXXX and I explained, I work as a paralegal and I am aware they are in violation of the US 1682, 1691 federal codes because I work in the field and I refused to settle and the call ended. The call should be recorded. I then paid a credit repair attorney office XXXX $ to try to settle or remove the debt and they were not able to accomplish it because they said it would take filing a complaint in federal court to force the collection agency to remove the tradeline. As it is, the collection states I owe XXXX XXXX The move out report I retained via the attorneys correspondence with the collection agency is inaccurate and full of false statement as far as the condition of the apartment upon move out and I am being charged for an inaccurate move-out statement and I have documented photos and video to prove it. I need help regarding this case or I am going to be forced to spend more money ( XXXX $ ) to hire a federal debt collection attorney to sue this entity in federal court just to get the debt removed from my credit report.

I was first contacted by I.Q. Data International by phone in XXXX of XXXX. The agent who contacted me indicated that I owed monies from XXXX at XXXX apartments from a move out in XXXX of XXXX. The agent was rude and when I tried to get information, he yelled over me. Therefore, I asked that he not call me again- which they did many times, until I wrote them a letter on XXXX. In my letter to I.Q. Data, I indicated and requested the following : " The amount of the alleged debt with all payments and an itemized list of damages that you are claiming ; XXXX. Documentation showing you have verified that I am responsible for this debt, or a copy of any judgment ; XXXX. Documentation showing you are licensed to collect debts in XXXX. Because I am writing you within 30 days of being notified by your company about this debt, you must cease attempting to collect this alleged debt until after you have provided the requested information. If you continue attempting to collect on this debt or seek judgment for payment of the debt without first providing written verification, you will be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Additionally, the debt can not accrue any fees or interest beyond what is allowed by state law or by contract with the original creditor. '' I.Q. Data continually responds via writing, but does not address my requests- they keep sending me a bill. At first, IQ data was attempting to collect monies owed by my mother. They have at least corrected this, but refuse to provide validation of the debt. In my last letter to I.Q. Data on XXXX I wrote the following : " On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested all of the following information be provided to me by mail : XXXX. The amount of the alleged debt with all payments and an itemized list of damages that you are claiming ; XXXX. Documentation showing you have verified that I am responsible for this debt, or a copy of any judgment ; XXXX. Documentation showing you are licensed to collect debts in XXXX. In your response, you only provided a list of charges from XXXX and a signed lease, but nothing else. You have failed to show that I owe this debt. I reiterate that according to XXXX Statute Chapter 83, part II, XXXX was to notify me within 30 days via written notice of how much of the deposit was to be kept and why. This must be done by certified mail, to the tenant 's last known mailing address. If this notice is not sent as required within the 30-day period, the landlord forfeits their right to impose a claim on the deposit. XXXX never sent a written notice ( my mail was forwarded, and they have my email ), and never attempted to collect any monies from me, nor told me that I owed any monies. They never notified me of any intent to send this account to collections. They never provided me with a bill or statement of what they believed that I owed. This is a violation of the above statute, as I have a right to respond in writing, disputing any claim directly to them. To date, XXXX has not provided proof that they notified me in any way. This is because they did not. I assert that I do not owe this debt and it was illegally sent to you by XXXX in violation of my rights as noted above. Further, you have not provided the information that is owed to me under the Fair Debt Collections Act. If you continue attempting to collect on this debt or seek judgment for payment of the debt without first providing written verification, you will be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Additionally, the debt can not accrue any fees or interest beyond what is allowed by state law or by contract with the original creditor. In sum, I am again demanding that XXXX retract this collection and send a letter to me in writing absolving me of any monies owed to them as indicated by all of the aforementioned. If this illegal collection effort continues in violation of my rights, I will obtain counsel to address the issue further. I do not owe this debt. You have failed to show that I owe this debt as indicated above. I am instructing you to have no further contact with me in writing, by phone, or otherwise as you have had ample time to show legal cause as to the validity of this debt. '' In response, I received another bill. I have never received any bill from XXXX at XXXX, nor explanation of the monies they say I owe, even though I have sent this correspondence to XXXX as well. At this point, it has been over a year and I feel that this harrassment will not stop without intervention. Thank you.

My complaint is regarding a final bill from XXXX XXXX, an apartment complex where had leased an apartment, I moved out of the apartment and provided my new address and asked that the final bill for water, garbage and other associated fees be to the address I provided. I never received the bill, instead I received a collection letter from I.Q. Data International, the letter was dated XX/XX/2021 although I didn't actually receive the letter until approximately XX/XX/2021 due to lag in time with my change of address. I also received notification from my bank notifying me of negative credit reporting on my credit file, upon reviewing the notification I learned that I.Q. Data had already reported the outstanding debt to the credit bureau. I contacted I.Q. Data XX/XX/2021 to inquire about the letter and the manner in which the account had been sent for collection and reported to the credit bureau without me ever receiving the bill, I also requested a copy of the bill. The representative informed me that I.Q. Data didn't have a copy of the bill and offered to accept my payment of {$130.00}, I declined the offer to pay the bill because I wasn't sure whether on not I was speaking with a legitimate collection agency. I contacted XXXX XXXX to request a copy of the bill, I spoke to XXXX XXXX/Assistant Manager who informed me there had been a change in property management and provided a telephone number who she said was for someone that could better assist me, the number was for a credit repair company and was no help in obtaining a copy of the bill. I sent an email XX/XX/2021 to XXXX which was the property management company in place while I resided at XXXX XXXX and received their response XX/XX/2021. The response stated XXXX no longer manages XXXX XXXX and does not have legal authorization to conduct business on behalf of the property, and advised me to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX who now manages XXXX XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke to someone who seemed incapable in assisting me and she had to ask another person present with her what to tell me, after being placed on hold I eventually was informed that the company had nothing to do with outstanding final bills of previous residents prior to them taking over management of XXXX XXXX and advised me to contact the previous management company. When I realized I was getting nowhere with my request for a copy of the final bill I sent a dispute on XX/XX/2021 to I.Q. Data International and later sent an email to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021 hoping it would reach someone who would have more concern for the situation an assist me, I received a response XX/XX/2021 informing me the final bill would have remained with the previous management company and to contact them. Because of the slow response from I.Q. Data, regarding my dispute I began the dispute process with the XXXX national credit reporting agencies, although I received a copy of the final bill wasn't in communications with I.Q. Data International until XX/XX/2021 when I contacted them and spoke with a representative named XXXX. During our conversation I reiterated my dissatisfaction with XXXX XXXX for mishandling my final bill and the negative credit reporting which was unfair to me since I provided my new address and requested that the final bill be mailed to me, and asked if returned mail sent to me was included in my file transfer to them, her response was that XXXX XXXX doesn't have to prove that they mailed the bill to me nor that they attempted to contact me. My attempts to resolve this matter came to a halt when I.Q. Data refused to remove the collection from my credit report in exchange for payment in full. I had contacted XXXX regarding my dispute and was informed the debt was verified with I.Q. Data, when I asked how it was verified the XXXX representative said that in their investigation I.Q. Data responded to the request for verification verifying the debt, I expressed my dissatisfaction with this because I feel this isn't a thorough investigation process. The representative informed me further dispute requires me mail a copy of my government issued I.D . and social security card to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ga XXXX. I don't trust sending sensitive personal data such as this to anyone, especially through USPS so I decided against filing a further dispute. Please find below the contact information of all parties to this case which I have been in contact with while seeking a resolution. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Moved out from XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. I received a final move out statement from the property manager on XX/XX/XXXX that had charges from the mess left behind from the movers that I had hired and exaggerated property damage charges that totaled to a balance owed of {$980.00}, this balance included the last months rent which I had already paid and I have proof of rental payment.Anyway, I called and emailed the property manager over the balance and she said she was willing to negotiate and reduce the charges if I had cleaned up the mess the movers had left behind. I still had the keys to the units because the manager was not on site for my move out so I had no one to return them to, with the manager 's permission I went back to XXXX apartments and cleaned up the mess, deordized the carpet and cleaned all countertops. I also took photos of the unit after cleaning up and emailed them to the property manager so she could work on the discrepancies on the move out statement on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to management on the phone XX/XX/XXXX and she said she would think over what charges she wanted to remove from the final statement and would get back to me within a week. A week past and I did not get a follow-up from XXXX management. I finally got a call back on XX/XX/XXXX from management and she argued that I damaged the carpet and that I did not pay my last months rent. Due to the context of the conversation and the pugnacious temperament from myself and XXXXXXXX management, the conversation ended with the manager stating " I don't like how you are talking to me so I am not going to change anything '', she then hangs up and sends me an email on XX/XX/XXXX accusing me of trespassing on the property even though she had given me permission to clean up the unit. I then followed up on the situation via email XXXX XXXX, management didn't reply until XX/XX/XXXX and stated that she would get back to me in a week. I followed up via email on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX I email management a notice requesting my security deposit and then she finally responded back to my emails that same day and asked me to call her office phone and I did. During this phone conversation, I requested my security deposit since the 21 day deadline for negotiation had passed and that she never responded to me within a timely manner. The manager became very aggressive and rude and stated that " I am not giving you anything, if you don't pay ill report it to collections and it will go on your credit ''. I received a notice from I.Q Data International INC, a collections agency on XX/XX/XXXX that stated the XXXX XXXX had hired them to collect a debt of {$980.00} and that if I wanted to dispute the amount to mail back the form with documentation and that I had until XXXX XXXX, XXXX to respond to the notice or the charges would be considered valid. I sent my refusal to I.Q. on XX/XX/XXXX with a small claims case filing number that I had filed against the XXXX XXXX to receive my deposit. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from XXXX that IQ had reported the collection account onto my credit report. I had 30 days to reply to the notice and within a week of receiving the first notice the account was reported to the credit union. I called I.Q on XX/XX/XXXX, to dispute the account inquiry on my credit report because the charges are wrongful, the report to XXXX is fraudulent, and the time allowance I was given to respond to on the notice was contradicted. A male representative from IQ initially answered the phone and addressed me by my first and last name, he then put me on hold and transferred me to a female representative. The female associate stated that I owed a balance with the XXXXXXXX XXXX and asked if I was calling to make a payment. I explained to her I was calling to dispute a credit inquiry because I had responded to the notice that I received on XX/XX/XXXX within a timely manner. This associate quickly became irate and stated that I don't have " proof '' and that I need to pay, her demeanor and voice reminded me of the manager of the XXXXXXXX XXXX, I asked for speak to her supervisor and she claimed that he/she wasn't available. I expressed to her that the inquiry was fraudulent and that I had filed a case against the property management company to receive my security deposit for XX/XX/XXXX.

My family and I were moving out of the apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX and notified the leasing office on XX/XX/XXXX ( Appendix A ). As we were unsure of our exact move out date, we continued our communication with the leasing office from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX before finalizing the move out date at XX/XX/XXXX ( Appendix B ). We followed up with email communication regarding move out date, pro-rated rent, and returning keys on XX/XX/XXXX but received no response ( Appendix C ). We followed up again with the leasing office on XX/XX/XXXX as XXXX rent was soon due, but again received no response ( Appendix D ). My family and I ended up moving out before the end of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX from the leasing office, claiming that our lease had expired on XX/XX/XXXX and that we needed to return our keys ASAP. I drove over to the leasing office and confirmed with Mr. XXXX that our move out date was XX/XX/XXXX instead of the originally agreed XX/XX/XXXX. There had been prior incidents of miscommunication where members of the management team possessed incorrect/conflicting information ( Appendix E & F for example, where I was double charged for the same utility twice and meter reading for gas was misidentified ), so I confirmed with Mr. XXXX whether the system showed the most up-to-date information. Mr. XXXX confirmed again and said the system indicated our lease had expired and we needed to return our keys. I returned the keys and parking passes on the spot and Mr. XXXX signed off on the move out document ( Appendix G ) confirming the move out date as XX/XX/XXXX. Before I left, I asked Mr. XXXX if my account was all settled. He confirmed and said I should get my deposit back in 2-4 weeks. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a Statement of Security Deposit Accounts ( Appendix H, postmarked XXXX ) showing the move out date as XX/XX/XXXX and indicating that I owed half of XXXX rent and full utility charges for XXXX despite confirming the move out date as XX/XX/XXXX and returning the keys/parking passes on XX/XX/XXXX. I called the leasing office on the same day, but the phone number included in the statement was incorrect to begin with. Thankfully, I found the correct number on my cellphone call history. Mr. XXXX happened to be the person picking up my call. During the call, Mr. XXXX confirmed that he recalled receiving my keys/parking passes and signing the document. He confirmed again that the system did in fact show XX/XX/XXXX as our move out date, and was not able to explain the discrepancy. He said he would reach out to his manager ( XXXX XXXX ) and call me back. He called me back and said that his manager claimed my move out date was XX/XX/XXXX ( referring to our prior email communication ) and the system erroneously put in the wrong date of XX/XX/XXXX. I asked him to justify the conflicting information between what the system showed and what the manager said and questioned why I should pay for the additional charges when I already returned the keys on XX/XX/XXXX after confirming multiple times with the leasing office. I explained that the most recent communication from the leasing office was that my lease ended on XX/XX/XXXX, and I did my due diligence by confirming the date/information multiple times. As a result, the new date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) needed to be honored. Mr. XXXX was unable to provide a response, and said he would escalate the issue to his manager, Mr. XXXX, so he would reach out to me instead. I sent a follow up email later that night recapping my concern and including the signed move out document. I also asked for some additional clarification of the charges ( Appendix I ), but never received any response or call back. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in the mail ( Appendix J, dated XX/XX/XXXX ) indicating the disputed amount was sent to the collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. I was disappointed that the leasing office did not respond to any of my questions and concerns and felt that they were not acting on good faith by avoiding communication and sending the amount to collection. Weve gone above and beyond to attempt to resolve this issue amicably ; however, as of today, the leasing office showed no signs of willingness to communicate with us.

THIS COMPANY CAN NOT AND HAS NOT produced me my original bill from the original creditor they purchased my debt from and because of that they must to cease all collection efforts and remove this account from my credit report. REMEMBER I AM REQUESTING VALIDATION, NOT VERIFICATION!! This COMPLAINT is being sent to you in response to notices sent to me from your company and more importantly, due to your erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureau { s }, the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable : Identify the original creditor : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus { XXXX, XXXX or XXXX } this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate. If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report and a copy of such deletion { to any/all of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX } request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. It would be advisable that you assure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. A response with a bill is NOT evidence of proof that the debt is mine. Anyone can open an account under my name for which a bill is produced, but that doesn't mean it was actually me or that the debt is actually mine. I need real evidence. This evidence consists of a contract from the original creditor or some agreement bearing MY written signature agreeing to pay the debt. In the absence of this evidence I ask you to please remove this account from my credit report.

I learned of an apartment lease debt collection through an alert received in XX/XX/XXXX, after the account was already entered on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. I never received notification from a collections agency or the creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that the account was actually turned over to collection. This is an issue because I was actually waiting for the property management company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , to notify me that they had re-rented my previous apartment that I occupied since XX/XX/XXXX, and never had a late rent payment, not one. My last communication with them was XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a new home and have documentation, which I will attach, that shows I communicated with the property manager from XX/XX/XXXX, prior to my purchase of the home, through XX/XX/XXXX about steps I would need to take to properly vacate the property. I also informed them that I chose the time frame that I did, prior to the end of my leasing period, because my son and his family were returning home from Hawaii after serving on XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX. My son lived in the apartment with me prior to his enlistment in the military. Unfortunately, the NEW property manager didn't care about my communications with the previous property manager. In attached emails, he mocked me for being an excellent tenant. After some back and forth between him and I, the new property manager suggested that I could " skip '' on the lease, turn in all of my keys and other property, and it would be cheaper with anticipation that the apartment would be re-rented fairly quickly, and they could not charge rent for more than one tenant occupying the apartment. The property manager failed to notify me when the apartment had been re-rented, and what the adjusted fees would be that I owed. The property manager was made aware that I could not provide 60 days notice and pay the two months rent up front to terminate my lease agreement because it would affect the purchase of my new home and he refused to assist by stating he had no discretion to accommodate me, which was a false statement. The lease stated that the property manager had discretion in changing the lease requirements when it pertained to vacating the property. The lease does not end until XX/XX/XXXX, yet the account was sent to a collections agency, according to my credit reports, in XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. No further communication from the property manager took place regarding an adjusted payment for remaining rent due. I have attached documentation that shows I attempted to pay the portion of the debt balance that I owed in XX/XX/XXXX, which included the full month 's rent of XX/XX/XXXX, even after I vacated the apartment, and I was open to paying additional payments due me until the apartment had been re-rented, but the management company 's website was set up not to receive partial payments and instead of the property manager advising that it would be accepted pending rental of the apartment, he requested I make payment arrangements for more than {$8300.00}, which I had no intention to do. Why would I pay up a full lease and he already told me you can only accept rent from one tenant? According to Texas Property Code 91.006, " the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages if a tenant abandons the leased premises ... A provision of a lease that purports to waive a right or to exempt a landlord from a liability or duty under this section is void. '' I have not missed or had a late payment for any accounts, including my rent to this property manager, in more than 25 years. I have worked really hard to build and maintain my credit rating and scoring. It was totally dishonest, unprofessional, and predatory for this property management company to send this account to a collections agency without notifying me of the re-rental of this apartment. I was willing to pay what I owed but I was not going to pay up a lease and this property management company, purposely and unlawfully attempt to collect debts from multiple tenants for the same apartment. I intend to ensure that future tenants of this property management company are made aware of what this management company stands for. Thank you for your time

I received a phone call received on XXXX which involved a representative of IQ Data International alleging I owed a debt involving XXXX XXXX XXXX due to alleged damages. Shortly thereafter I sent a debt validation letter ( attached as Debt Validation Letter.docx ) on XXXX registered return receipt. I asked them the following to validate the debt. " The name and address of the original creditor, the account number, and the amount owed. Verification that there is a valid basis for claiming I am required to pay the current amount owed, including, but not limited to, an itemized receipt of the alleged damages by the landlord in a written statement delivered by mail to be by return receipt requested as outlined in Oklahoma Statute Title 41-115 B. Details about the age and amount of the debt including a copy of the last billing statement from the original creditor ; a detailed explanation of any interest added or payments made since the last billing statement and the legal authorization for this interest ; the date the original creditor claims this debt became delinquent. Please also note whether this debt is within the statute of limitations and how that was determined. Please also forward details about your authority to collect this debt : whether you are licensed in my state and if so provide the date of the license, name on the license, license number, and the name, address and telephone number of the state agency issuing the license. If you are contacting me from outside my state, provide the licensing information from your state as well. '' I then received a response on XXXX ( attached as IQ Data Wrong Lease.pdf, IQ Data 1st Letter.pdf ), which failed to validate the debt in multiple ways. I then sent a response letter on XX/XX/XXXX ( attached as Debt Validation Response.docx ) to alert the company of the problem and to let them know I was further disputing the debt. I have not received a second response. The issues are listed below. " The XX/XX/XXXX letter did not provide proof that by paying IQ Data International, that the alleged debt would be considered settled. The letter claims that I need to remit the balance, but does not provide instructions on how to pay or how to send the funds to settle the alleged debt. The XX/XX/XXXX letter did not include whether you are licensed in my state and did not provide the date of the license, name on the license, license number, and the name, address and telephone number of the state agency issuing the license. Additionally if you are contacting me from outside my state, provide the licensing information from your state as well. A rental agreement was included with the XX/XX/XXXX letter. This rental agreement has nothing to do with me. It has the names " XXXX XXXX + XXXX XXXX '' and XXXX XXXX, neither of which are me or anyone I associate with. It also has the address of XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is an address that I have never stayed at. It also has the dates of XXXX and XXXX, which are not dates associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Oklahoma State Statutes Title 41-115 states the landlord must include the rental agreement along with the itemized receipt, and that is not my rental agreement. A copy of the rental agreement you sent me has been included in this letter. The itemized receipt included in the XX/XX/XXXX letter claims a charge of {$930.00} due to " failure to notify. '' Yet provides no proof or details as to what this " failure to notify '' is. Nor does it explain why I am responsible for paying for the charge. Additionally the itemized receipts state Charges For Cleaning Needed - XXXX and Insufficient Notice Penalty Charges - XXXX. I am not XXXX and an explanation is needed for why these charges are being claimed against me. The XX/XX/XXXX letter also did not include detailed explanation of any interest added, the legal authorization for this interest, or the date the original creditor claims this debt became delinquent. The XX/XX/XXXX letter also did not include whether the debt was within the statute of limitations and how that was determined. '' I noticed on XX/XX/XXXX that they reported the debt to my Credit Report on XX/XX/XXXX. I am working with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX to dispute this debt.

XX/XX/XXXX get letter forwarded and contact XXXX XXXX multiple time and finally speak with XXXX XXXX notify the 3rd time this all fabricated probably to commit tax fraud and wanted submit emails and proof this false debt. I informed XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX this is illegal and please stop trying to extrot money to pay or threathen my credit. They said submit my proof. Proof submitted to XXXX XXXX Compliance officer for XXXX but emails are never opened. XXXX XXXX they publish a false report of debt and my credit goes from XXXX to below XXXX. I contact them and they are claiming it was system mistake and think it is laughing matter. I find out the company is dufferent department of my insurance XXXX. I also had for the property they claimed was damaged XXXX mo the earlier. I notify them my Insurance for tha propert is XXXX. At this point I'm not sure what racket they are pulling on IRS but it was clear they were breaking XXXX XXXX to extort consuners and shareholders. From XXXX After they knew they showed neglect I called dozens of times to ask to speak with company officer or compliance team as this deliberate fraud and extortion. In good faith as a shareholder of XXXX felt this was something which was regulated. XXXX XXXX directed the fault on compliance team and a person named XXXX XXXX for not reading emails sent of proof. Attempt to contact XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX training manager answer as if runs the department. I tell him of deliberate fraud of debt and negilgence of XXXX as lublic company and to extort thier own customer and shareholder for false debt is unheard off. He says on recorder line " I don't care for federal laws, XXXX whatever, or your a shareholder '' snaps and scream slanders my name and flat out rude. Reviews published from consumers stating the same. XXXX company officers are aware of this matter including XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX and neglect to address customer and shareholder trying bring to light bad seeds effecting consumers and poorly reflecting on brand. It seems XXXX is well aware of and it is company culture to deceive, lie, and neglect federal amd state statutes in place to protect consumers. Logically the claim of debt was fabricated right before end of year to close out books and sure it raise questions for deceptive accounting. Furthermore if XXXX was insurance on file and they are also trying collect a false debt and collect on thier own policy I found borderline a racket. I filed complaint with XXXX on XXXX for not returning calls regrading " propert damage '' and feel when realized they would filing policy on themselves the adjustor claimed he could not file any policy on file for me which XXXX stated was on file and gave me policy number. I do not shenanigans this company XXXX does across all its department or am forensic accounting, my brief education in Accounting and business law seems they are not following any laws regarding training of employees, knowledge of federal and state statutes, and showed gross negilgence from account rep XXXX XXXX, to thier compliance team led by XXXX XXXX or company officers who were notified. The property manager superiors and corporate compliance officer for XXXX and XXXX already reached out to me immediately to come solution and make sure employees are investigated as they take fraud seriously and aplogized this matter went this far. XXXX compliance officer not once has made attempt to see what going on as XXXX her employee stated he did not look at email and feel he of negilgence in this matter. After seeing this company has integrity issues company wide I sent a demand letter for defamation and violation of XXXX act. The still have returned requested call back from any company officers or senior team to address fraud on shareholder and customer being handled by thier own companies indifferent department

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX I called XXXX XXXX XXXX was connected to the agent by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX I called to get more information on the debt in hopes to start planning to pay the debt without putting myself in a financial hardship as I have a family XXXX kids and a spouse to provide for which I had informed XXXX XXXX XXXX I simply called in hopes to get my questions answered such as the following : - How much the debt was for originally? - Where the {$840.00} payment I made ( XX/XX/XXXX ) went to? ( Because the debt should have gone down to XXXX but when I called was at XXXX telling me I have accumulated {$790.00} in interest ) - What the options were in regards of planned payment arrangements to schedule in advance to keep me from being in a financial hard ship? as i proceeded to ask those questions XXXX XXXX began to say he would talk to the supervisor about seeing my options because I " Help our country so he was going to help me '' and then begun to say, " how he apologizes for his voice as he was losing it due to being sick '' and i said " no worries '' came back to the phone after keeping me on hold and offered the options for plans of action and said they could do a settlement for {$3900.00} but that would need to be paid in full by Friday XX/XX/XXXX and or option two being to make payments which he informed myself of getting me approved for but needed to pay the full balance and in completion of that getting a credit deletion on my credit report I chose option two because I want to get this deleted off my credit report. Additionally, I begun to tell him I would call him back about payments that I felt would be the best fit to start and he begun to be abrasive in his Choice of words such as tell me about what loans I could apply for to get out of just this debt and how I could borrow the money from companies such as " upstart, XXXX XXXX ( high interest companies to avoid as an XXXX XXXX member ), and loan options from XXXX XXXX credit XXXX. '' and in response to that I had told him I did not feel confrontable getting a loan for debt that would just add more debt on top and that was not a smart financial move. XXXX XXXX then began to ask me " did I even know what upstart was? '' and i informed him I was very aware with what upstart was but was not going to pursue adding another debt just to pay a debt, close to the end of the phone call i then told him " I would be calling them back to with more info on when i could start making payments '' and XXXX XXXX got very demanding on the phone and telling me about how they had been trying to reach me and made multiple attempts to call and got no response in regards to this debt and I then begun to tell him " I apologize but I had a lot of stuff going on but I am trying to get this debt under control because I know it is very important for my credit to get this resolved '' and then XXXX XXXX the said " Even a {$60.00} payment could help hold me over for a couple of days until Friday '' and I told him " I didn't even have that and that I would call back when I did and that I didn't have my card on me anyways '' XXXX XXXX then proceeded to say " what kind of a women doesn't carry her debt card around with her or in her purse, I'm sure you have it saved somewhere in your phone I will sit on hold until you go get it but you NEED to make a payment today '' I then said " I would not be making a payment today and would be calling you back soon '' and then I asked for his name due to the very rude tone and choice of words in the business call to then write this complaint. In conclusion XXXX XXXX was very demanding, very rude, and used poor choice of words that very much so offended me to ending the call. I hope to see this situation not happen again the future as this is not first time, I have encountered a rude representative at this business establishment, I had received similar behavior from a representative by the name of XXXX XXXX but gave the benefit of the doubt for and forgave and forget but would not forgive and forget if this happened again. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Very Respectfully, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( Cell )

I moved out of my apartment in XX/XX/XXXX. The apartments I lived in were called XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TX. When I moved into the apartment in XXXX XXXX, I was told my carpet was brand new. I had multiple issues with the apartment that requires continuous maintenance, including leaks in the ceiling. I expressed these concerns to the management many times because I had children with me, including a XXXX. I paid all security deposits for my dog being in the apartment, including a monthly pet fee. When I moved out, I cleaned the apartment thoroughly and took pictures. I had given management my notice of intent to move out when my lease ended, which included a section to put a forwarding address. I wrote down my new home address I was moving to. I paid all remaining balances before moving out and closed out all accounts for electric and internet. Several weeks went by after I moved out and I received no mail at my residence staying I owed anything to XXXX XXXX I received no phone calls from XXXX XXXX. I even called them because I needed to see if I still had any mail at my old mailbox. They said they couldnt look for me but any mail should be forwarded to my new address. At that time they didnt mention anything about any amount owed and they had looked up my account and everything. I still didnt get the mail I needed so I drove up there and asked if they had any mail holding for me. Again, they said no. They did not mention any debt and again, they had looked up my account. I made sure they had my forwarding address and they said no, they didnt have it. I told them I had written it down on my intent to move out form and they asked me to give it to them again. A month after moving out, after receiving zero correspondence from them ( even though I called up there a few times to try to get my mail and even went up there once in person after moving out ) I got a random collections letter for over {$760.00} from a collections agency at my new address. This means they sent some random amount straight to collections without even trying to reach out to me the few times Id called. I received no letters informing me of this obligation, nor any pictures or evidence Of why I owed this debt. I called up there and the property manager said it was mostly for carpet being replaced and {$43.00} for last months water bill. She claims there were pet stains under the carpet and I told her no, anytime ( maybe once or twice in a year ) that my dog had a little accident, I immediately grabbed my {$350.00} carpet washer and cleaned the area throughly. I told her why should I have to pay almost a full months rent to replace some cheap carpet. She said the carpet is supposed to last 3-4 years. Not only that. She flat out lied because she said they ripped up the carpet and found stains underneath ... why would they rip up the carpet unless they had intentions of completely replacing the carpet? There were no stains showing when I moved out ( I took tons of pictures ). So even if they found stains, why wouldnt they just clean the carpets like they are supposed to before a new tenant moves in? Why would you go in and start ripping carpet up? Tenants live normal lives and normal wear and tear happens. If I go buy a {$350.00} carpet washer and immediately clean the area and it still soaks through, they should put better quality carpet in the units. What about those of us who have kids? Are we expected to keep Cheaply made carpet immaculate XXXX? I asked for proof with pictures and she wouldnt supply any. She got very rude on the phone. I disputed the debt with my credit agencies and they finally came back and said the debt collection agency disputed my dispute. I called the debt collection agency-IQ international-and they were extremely rude and unprofessional. They completely took the side of my apartment complex and refused to offer any sort of validity to the debt. They refused to send proof with pictures or statements or anything. I told them I refused to pay a fraudulent debt and they threatened me by saying Id i didnt pay, It would just keep making my credit worse and I would accumulate fees.

I submitted a complaint against IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for violating federal law in regards to collecting debt and reporting nonpublic personal information to credit reporting agencies, specifically 16 CFR 313.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods. They assert that they sent me an initial notice they deemed to be delivered however this is irrelevant to the issue at hand. 16 CFR 313.7 clearly states " ( a ) ( 1 ) Form of opt out notice. If you are required to provide an opt out notice under 313.10 ( a ), you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of your consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice must state : ( i ) That you disclose or reserve the right to disclose nonpublic personal information about your consumer to a nonaffiliated third party ; ( ii ) That the consumer has the right to opt out of that disclosure; and ( iii ) A reasonable means by which the consumer may exercise the opt out right. '' It also goes on to explain what a reasonable opt out looks like " ( ii ) Reasonable opt out means. You provide a reasonable means to exercise an opt out right if you : ( A ) Designate check-off boxes in a prominent position on the relevant forms with the opt out notice ; ( B ) Include a reply form that includes the address to which the form should be mailed ; or ( C ) Provide an electronic means to opt out, such as a form that can be sent via electronic mail or a process at your web site, if the consumer agrees to the electronic delivery of information ; or ( D ) Provide a toll-free telephone number that consumers may call to opt out. '' It also states what unreasonable opt out is '' ( iii ) Unreasonable opt out means. You do not provide a reasonable means of opting out if : ( A ) The only means of opting out is for the consumer to write his or her own letter to exercise that opt out right; or ( B ) The only means of opting out as described in any notice subsequent to the initial notice is to use a check-off box that you provided with the initial notice but did not include with the subsequent notice. '' I have attached a notice from IQ Data international that clearly shows they have provided me the consumer with an unreasonable means to exercise my right to opt out of them reporting my nonpublic personal information. 16 CFR 313.7 also states '' ( f ) Continuing right to opt out. A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am exercising my right as a consumer to opt out of my nonpublic personal information being reported to any consumer reporting agencies. I will attach my previous complaints as evidence as well. I made this complaint to further clarify my complaint made on the 4th as I know this company will use as many deceptive practices as it can to collect on this debt. I have provided adequate evidence that they clearly violated consumer law and written evidence that exercise my right to opt out of this information being reported. XXXX and XXXX refused to remove the account as well at my instruction so they are listed in this complaint as well. XXXX has already deleted the fraudulent account which constitutes an error in reporting via 15 USC 1681e subsection b for XXXX and XXXX who aren't maintaining reasonable procedures to insure the accuracy of my consumer report. Also as per 15 USC 1681b a consumer reporting agency may only furnish information to a consumer report '' ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' I gave no such instruction to XXXX or XXXX. I am instructing them to remove the account as well. 15 USC is also known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act this a clear violation of its provisions on behalf of these companies. All 3 of these companies have violated my rights and caused me harm as a consumer and I have provided evidence. The account I am speaking of is XXXX XXXX XXXX CO through IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account # XXXX

Was trying to refinance my home was told I had an account in collections on my credit report. First I heard and looked didn't recognize the collection company I Q Data or the company they were working for XXXX XXXX. This was XX/XX/XXXX. I then called the collections agency to find out about this supposed debt of {$7600.00} that I had no idea of what it was and tried to explain to the man that this was not my debt and I had never received any documentation about this. The man started yelling at me and verbally threatening me I hung up and on XXXX XXXX XXXX received a letter in my name stating unless I wrote and disputed the interest would keep adding up. By this time the original amount had increased to {$7700.00}. I sent a registered letter to the collections company letting them know this was not my debt!. I had found the number of the XXXX and their parent company XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX when I found out about this debt I called XXXX, XXXX to the XXXX and XXXX, I was hung up.on told they would put in another request to tenant relations to find out why I had this in my credit. It turns out when my daughter and son in law didn't want to renew their lease because the new company was raising the rent way too much and no upgrades had been done on their unit, they gave their notice. They were 2 weeks late in moving out. Ok at least I think I know where they got my info. I have written to both XXXX and the XXXX many times to show that this is my debt. Nothing received from either but I was told I should have signed a roommate re! ease. I explained I had never lived in their complex. To this date they have not sent anything to show this is my debt which it is not. I have disputed with the credit agency 's XXXX, XXXX and XXXX the the address was one I lived at and it was removed. I have tried and tried to get something anything to show this debt is mine which it is not. But I am getting nowhere.not it is affecting my credit while trying to refinance the home I have lived in since XXXX. It turns out they say I was on my daughter and soninlaws lease the second year they lived thereXXXX to XXXX. I was not on that lease. After their first year lease XXXX to XXXX they signed a new lease on their own. I went into the complex office and requested not to do the second year lease since there was no Problem during that year, and they both were working and the office agreed and there was a new lease signed. It should have been done but there was no indication that this would still be a problem. They have never sent any paperwork showing this is my debt which I know they don't have. I believe the amount they are trying to collect from my daughter is wrong also and I have been trying to get this corrected also. After giving their notice that they would not renew the lease due to rent being raised way too much, they were harassed and harranged until they moved in XX/XX/XXXX. They also got no notice about this debt. I believe this company is trying to get my daughter for upgrades that were never done in my daughter 's unit. I believe they owe 2 weeks extra rent but since I have received nothing else from this company or the actual comp! ex I can not say. What I can say again this is not my debt!!!! The collection company finally sent and I received on XXXX XXXX XXXX a paper they say shows it is my debt ... the original lease from XXXX. Where is the lease that my daughter and her husband signed in XXXX. And btw I never signed anything electronically I signed in person by hand. There was no Problem from XXXX to XXXX. Nor from the beginning of the new lease which I was not on until they decided to not renew in XXXX. I did get to! d at some point that I should have signed a roommate release which I never was a roomate. Their numbers don't add up nor do the dates on the document. Whatever charges my daughter and her husband owe came after they moved out and to date have not been explained what it is for.

I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX, I handed my keys directly into the hands of the XXXX. One of the managers went to inspect the property, she was pleased and said our deposit would be returned. I never received my deposit of {$300.00}, and never received any calls or emails from XXXX XXXX XXXX after move out. In XXXX of XXXX I received notice from my old roommate XXXX, that XXXX XXXX XXXX Apartments had taken action upon her via a debt collector. The company is IQ Data International, Located in XXXX, Washington. XXXX was a roommate who did not live with me when I moved out of the apartment. They had incorrect information. XXXX was able to get this removed from her credit report. Within a month the debt collector had removed this off of her credit report and filed against me. I went in person to XXXX XXXX to speak with management. The management had since changed, there were completely different employees than when I lived there. The complex located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL, said they had their hands tied and that this was filed by the previous manager In XXXX of last year. The new management handed me an itemized list that included all charges she filed with the collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. The old manager claimed I never paid my last months rent, that I never paid a pet deposit ( I don't have any animals ), and charged me for replacement of the rugs in the apartment. I was shocked with all the charges, since upon move out we were told everything was in good condition and we would be rewarded our deposit back. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX and at the time was working full time. I contacted IQ Data international over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a woman at first who was very kind, I explained my situation and she said they would be able to set up a payment plan, she transferred me to my case manager. He offered to reduce the price, I would only have to pay {$670.00} today and they would contact XXXX XXXX, and make sure I didn't need to pay anything else. There was a chance I would still have to pay the rest of the money later on.The total amount that IQ Data International was collecting for was {$2600.00} cents. I am only responsible for paying trash service fees and final water and final electric which totaled to {$100.00}. XXXX XXXX still has a {$300.00} deposit from me, which easily covers those costs. The remainder amount would be owed to me totaling {$190.00}. I explained I could not afford to pay a lump sum of {$670.00} today. This man explicitly stated that payment needed to be completed in full that day, if I did not pay them they would take action against my credit score, and it would still take 7 years for it to be removed from my credit report. I explained that I could not afford to pay {$670.00} today. I told him that I would send over an email of bank statements that prove I did not owe anything more to XXXX XXXX. I asked if after speaking to XXXX XXXX and upon receiving my email if he would offer me a payment plan. He refused a payment plan, then began to interrogate me about my finances and bills I pay each month. Through the call he became more aggressive and rude towards me and angry that I would not pay right then and there. I became frustrated and hung up the phone, there was no reasoning with this man at all. I proceeded to send IQ Data Inc an email on XXXX XXXX with proof of my rent payment for XXXX of XXXX along with videos and photos of the apartments condition when we left. I followed up with another email again on XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet to receive any response back. XXXX XXXX international has submitted their collection claim on my credit report, I have disputed it twice. It was removed once from my credit report and they have opened it again as of XX/XX/XXXX. As of today XX/XX/XXXX it has been removed from my credit report again and I assume XXXX XXXX will try to file again.

XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX apartments advised I.Q. Data International , XXXX collection company that we neglected to pay our bill. This is not accurate. Basic facts are listed below. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX gave us the clearance to move out XX/XX/XXXX. The extenuating circumstances includes : o XXXX XXXX had the urgency of remodeling the apartment o Our neighbor shot another while I was a few feet away, opposite a shared wall o XXXX XXXX had not approved us to renew in a timely manner On XX/XX/XXXX, the attached email confirms the agreement of final rent amount of {$250.00} for separate days rent between our lease ending date and time of move out. She declined payment of this amount because our initial deposit included {$400.00} plus a pre-payment of {$100.00} to anticipate water/sewer expenses. She told us this was more than enough funds for rent. We moved out on XX/XX/XXXX and returned the first business day to complete our financial transactions. On the Monday after we moved out : o We released our property keys to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in person. o XXXX again did not accept any check to pre-pay water bill and {$250.00} anticipated rent. o Water/trash charges had not posted for our last month of residency and will take two more month to get the correct bill by XXXX. o XXXX said to wait two months before expecting a final bill or credit mailed to us. o We fill out a requested document for key release and provided a forwarding address in order to send us the incoming bills My household came also on XX/XX/XXXX, ready to pay again but no bill nor any payment detail was presented. Instead the household asked to tour together the apartment and was told it was left in perfect condition -- clean and without damages. XXXX XXXX told also it would be remodeled in that same week. Again, we completed a form with our forwarding address. XXXX confirmed over a phone call on XX/XX/XXXX, that she sold our account to collection. She offered no path to resolution for her errors nor provided any written, itemized record of the account. Written itemization was requested this date. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my household received no calls, emails nor postal mail between XXXX - XXXX XXXX of XXXX when I initiated resolution with XXXX upon receipt of collection notice. We dispute validity of any negative report to our credit and deny the responsibility of additional rent or collection fees. We request this statement of dispute be placed into our credit report account files. We request resolution assistance with the accusing party. In the meanwhile we are honoring the payment of the amount written by direct bank wiring, waiting for XXXX to follow with all deposit and payment statement happened during our whole staying ( XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ). Because we were asked to leave by the beginning of the year we dispute also to XXXX the last 30 days charged and will be responsible only for the extra {$250.00} plus associated water/sewer costs, as asked by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX email ( attached ). Thats why we expect from XXXX a refund of extra payment charged. If the credit is not fully restored and the extra amount payed to XXXX is not refund by XX/XX/XXXX, we will assume we have to defend our right at different court levels as we have to turn XXXX XXXX accountable for her decisions and actions against our household. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Attached email communication : XXXX XXXX XXXX Mon, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX PM XXXX : XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Glad we talked today. Now, I feel better about the move-out process and appreciate the offered flexibility for a few extra days too. In order to make the process fully comfortable for us and you, we will leave the apartment on XX/XX/XXXX. Hoping this also fits into your needs. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, prior tenants to XXXX XXXX # XXXX

I tried to dispute this charge from XXXX XXXX for months now since I dont owe any debt. Ive given them a dispute letter below : The XXXX XXXX Apartments claimed I owe {$1500.00}. I am disputing this debt because I was wrongly charged a bill that does not represent the state of the apartment, my monthly rental payments, or any other agreed upon expenditures within the lease agreement. The lease agreement specified that I was not to owe them a security deposit upon moving in. My statements reflect that the rental payments I owed to XXXX XXXX have been paid in full and on time. The apartment was in good state when I departed, I recorded a video of the apartment room as evidence to show that the rooms were undamaged and did not require repairs at the end of my lease. I gave them more than 60 days notice that I was moving out and would not be renewing my lease or staying any longer than the specified terms of the agreement, my keys were given back on XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to moving out, nobody came to inspect the room from XXXX XXXX. I was never informed of any damages to the apartment, any terms that had been breached or an extension to the lease agreements duration. This is the first time I have received news that I supposedly owed XXXX XXXX for charges they have yet to explain to me. When I received this list of charges I had already moved out and paid my final monthly payment of rent. The itemized list of charges I owe also do not align with what I was paying for previously. The Rental Income charge issued in their letter to me is not the same amount I was paying for rent at the time, their charge was {$780.00}, my agreed rental payment was {$840.00} per month previously. Furthermore, the total balance due at the end of the letter sent to me by XXXX XXXX does not mathematically add up to their itemized charges. The list of charges comes to {$1100.00} while the letters Due Property listing claims that list of charges equates to {$1500.00}. I have contacted XXXX XXXX multiple times including visiting in person at their offices and have not received any form of reasoning as to why they believe I owe them {$1500.00}, or even {$1100.00}. I have attached all related documents and correspondence, including rental payment confirmations, the original lease agreement with highlighted sections including the lack of security deposit, proof of my notice to them that I would be leaving, receipt of their acknowledgement of the return of the keys from XX/XX/XXXX. With couple if weeks later, they sent out a letter saying I still owe the money without any real reasons as to why. Ive been in contact with XXXX XXXX and theyve in writing forenamed that I dont owe anything. They sent me a ledger and an email stating that I dont incur debt. With that, Ive sent all my evidence to XXXX. Data last month and have not heard from them. The interest for this debt is still going up and nothing is being resolved. They are unprofessional and is a scam. They have charged me for an additional months rent with hidden fees that I have never seen before. I have contacted them many times and have not had any luck until recently, which they stated I have not owed any money. I have tried to dispute this through their collection agency, I.Q. Data International, and had no luck. These are my evidence about my complaint that I just put through. This email is stating that I do not owe any money. Attached to this file is a ledger showing all my monthly payments in a timely manner and that I clearly did not owe any money once I moved out. I have complained to the Attorney General and they said they could not get ahold of XXXX XXXX XXXX I have also complained about this to CFPB and got a letter back from I.Q. Data Inc. that they would dispute it for now. Why is interest still occurring when they said they would dispute it?

I previously rented a property in XXXX IL XXXX through XXXX XXXX and moved into the property on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon move in we were told by property management one parking space is included with rent. While living on the property we never paid any parking fees or was told to purchase any parking sticker. While on the property we incurred many maintenance issues that became unresolved with XXXX XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I received an email that XXXX XXXXe would now be taken over by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I forwarded the many maintenance issues over to XXXX XXXX which for the duration of the stay on the property still had not been resolved. In XXXX of XXXX my car was towed from the property in which I incurred towing costs to retrieve it. I had never been notified of any parking changes. After complaining about this issue to XXXX XXXX I was given the contact info for the HOA which had never been provided to us against our many requests at the initial move in. After speaking with the attorney for the HOA XXXX XXXX I was advised by her to stop paying rent to XXXX XXXX XXXX and she made accusations of them not being legitimate. XXXX XXXX claimed to have contacted XXXX XXXX regarding the new parking changes which required tenants to purchase a sticker to be able to utilize the property parking. XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed to have never received anything nor did they provided us with any information. XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to refund the cost of towing expenses. Because of this I became frustrated with the lack of competency from unresolved maintenance issues to the matter of the parking and towing issue and decided best to terminate the lease early. I was advised by XXXX XXXX that I could make a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX on XXXX website which I did. Shortly after I was contacted by the XXXX XXXX XXXX lawyer XXXX XXXX to negotiate an agreement in which I would be able to terminate my lease early if I had removed my complaint from the website. The time frame given was unreasonable due to the fact that I had just had a baby and dealing with XXXX issues and wanted to take care in finding something that wouldnt give us a hassle the way XXXX XXXX had. XXXX XXXX was unwilling to accept the terms of me not paying any rent going forward and moving out of the property once proper housing had been found for my family and IXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX had also falsely closed my utilities account with XXXX and peoples gas and had it transferred in their name to be able to bill us directly from their XXXX company. I had never authorized for this to happen. I vacated the premises on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX and notified XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as their attorney XXXX XXXX. A forwarding address was never provided on my end and all contact which had been happening via email had ceased. Now my husband and I are receiving calls from a company IQ data international regarding a {$6000.00} debt from XXXX XXXX. They frequently call I or my husband refuse to provide any documentation regarding the debt and bully us over the phone. I would like this debt collection agency to stop harassing my husband and I until we see proof of this debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX who has our contacts never reached out regarding a debt or anything we owe and now several months later my husband and I are getting these harassing calls and its always the same person calling. I have made attempt to call and was put on hold to be connected to the same person who has called talking so aggressively. I asked to provide a forwarding address in which all debt documents could be sent and this person refused because I was not willing to fill out a hardship application over the phone. I need the harassment to stop. I have reached out to an attorney who provided me this website to complain because everything I explained to her sounded sketchy.

XX/XX/2022 - notification through XXXX ; no notification received from credit agency ( IQ Data International ) ; called IQ Data, indicated the amount due to original debtor was in dispute and should not have been sent to collections. I notified that I wanted to dispute the account ; representative ( female ) told me that I couldn't dispute without proof. I asked what proof would be sufficient. Representative was rude, would not provide information on how to dispute and actually hung up on me. That same date, I contacted the original debtor again to correct the amount owed. She indicated she would need to go through the accounts, there was a transition between accounting systems and it's possible the amount was incorrect. XX/XX/2022 - received confirmation from the original debtor that the amount was indeed correct, she was revising both accounts sitting with IQ Data International ; One account was reported as {$500.00} with XXXX XXXX ( this was paid in accordance with IQ Data 's Credit Deletion Process ). However, the second account was originally listed at {$270.00} for XXXX. XXXX representative ( XXXX XXXX ) indicated that she was sending an adjustment for a credit of {$160.00} ; revised statement listed total due for both accounts as {$610.00}, adjusted down from {$770.00}. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) emailed me a copy of the adjusted statement and stated it may take a few weeks. I also initiated the formal dispute process with IQ Data International to ensure the revised amount was processed timely. I received the Dispute instructions from IQ Data International via phone, since had not received that information from IQ Data International and mailed a formal dispute. XX/XX/2022 - called to check the status of the account with IQ Data International. The amount owed to XXXX ( {$270.00} ) was adjusted to {$610.00} in addition to the {$500.00} owed to XXXX XXXX, rather than the {$160.00} credit being applied as indicated in the documentation from XXXX. Since IQ Data was holding two accounts, I agreed to pay the account not in dispute in exchange for credit deletion. When I inquired about the second account, IQ Data informed me that if I did not authorize payment for the full amount in their system, including the amount that was in error AND the amount in dispute, that I would not be eligible for credit deletion once the amount owed was resolved with the original debtor, and it would have negative impact on my credit report. The assured me that once the account was resolved they would refund the disputed amount. Additionally, I asked for a status update on my dispute that was submitted, showing as received by IQ Data International in their system on XX/XX/2022. They indicated that it was noted in the system, but there was no investigation on their end and they wouldn't do anything with it unless I could prove that the amount was wrong. I indicated that I had provided that information with my dispute and they indicated it didn't matter, they were relying solely on the information provided by the debtor. I called Fountainhead apartments back ; I visited with XXXX XXXX who called IQ Data directly to confirm that the amount owed should only be {$110.00}. XXXX spoke with XXXX ( IQ Data ) who confirmed that it would take 24-48 hours to process in the system. As indicated in my earlier call with IQ Data, I called back to make payment in the amount of {$110.00} ( undisputed amount ) and then authorize payment for the interest amount once the account was revised. IQ Data told me I could do this in exchange for credit deletion. However, in trying to do that, I've been hung up on twice, and have been on hold for 45 minutes. They are intentionally avoiding my call and will not take the revised payment amount from me, despite their recorded offering to do so.

I the affiant am aware that there was never an agreement made between myself and IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL that was authorized the creation of the alleged debt. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 1 ) by using XXXX and criminal means to harm my consumer reputation.

I am aware that the furnishing of this negative account to my consumer report dropped my score and has harmed my reputation it is now harder for me to obtain credit because my credit worthiness and reputation is now harmed and this has caused me financial hardship due to the difficulty obtaining new credit and this is directly affecting interstate commerce. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( b ) by failing to comply with the provisions in this subchapter, XXXX XXXX XXXX communicated with third parties such as XXXX in connection to their attempt to collect an alleged debt and told them that I alleged owed a debt which is prohibited by law pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( b ).

IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692e 2 ( a ) by using false, deceptive, misleading representation and means prohibited under this subchapter in connection with the collection of an alleged debt. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL sent me a statement via the XXXX mails and email including the subject matter of an attempt to collect an alleged debt for file number XXXX. The amount, character and legal status of this alleged debt is falsely represented. The alleged {$2000.00} balance is shown in a positive balance, if a balance was in fact owed it would show in the negative. I have reason to believe and do believe that IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL is in violation of 18 U.S. Code 1341 by knowingly participating in fraud through the XXXX mail.

In XX/XX/2020, I had found a home that I had wanted to purchase for our family and we began the process of getting a home loan ( with the first-time homebuyers 0 % down payment ). In a routine background check the equity company ( XXXX ) had done, they pulled up an old judgement from 9 years ago ( it will be 10 years this XXXX ) that was put on my old roommate and myself for an eviction. I was then told by the first XXXX representative that the judgement did not matter, then another XXXX representative ( her name is XXXX ) had told me that it in fact does matter and it needed to be taken care of in order to go through with the purchase of the home. The first step I took was to contact the apartment complex that was involved, they informed me that they were no longer owned by the same residential group and they were now owned by XXXX, I contacted XXXX and they had no information regarding this eviction. I then speak to XXXX and she informed me that IQ Data International had taken the debt and I needed to speak with them about paying my portion of the debt off. I then contact XXXX XXXX of IQ Data International ( the representative in charge of the account ) and worked out a deal over the phone to pay {$4000.00} of the $ XXXX of the debt to have my name removed from the debt legally. I paid the {$4000.00} and after several phone calls to get information from XXXX about the status of my name being removed from the debt, he sends us a letter that states I had paid {$4000.00} and my name is to be removed from the debt. When this letter was presented to XXXX, we were told that the letter was not sufficient and a Satisfaction of Judgement needed to be filed in the court. At this point, XXXX has been hostile in attitude with us, and now, when confronted that this letter isnt sufficient, he tries to mislead me into thinking it will get done. When nothing was getting done ( the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX clerk website showed nothing was being filed ), both I and XXXX from XXXX attempt to contact XXXX multiple times on the matter, only to be told that it is going to happen, but it is the apartment complex who needs to file it. So I contacted the apartment complex and XXXX again on the matter, both which tell me they have no information and have not heard anything from IQ Data regarding collecting on the matter and will let me know if they do ( they never did ). I call IQ Data again, and let XXXX know that they havent heard from them. XXXX then became irate and brushed me off with that it will happen. At this point, we are approaching the deadline to have all of this process finished so we can purchase the home. When the date came, we paid the homeowner to extend the time for one month for us so we can get the matter settled. After 1 month, in XXXX, nothing was filed still and we lost out on the home, forcing us to sign a temporary lease until XXXX, XXXX comes, and we begin to look at homes again and see if anything was filed. In order to help us in this process, I contacted the Attorney Generals office who contacted IQ Data, but couldnt do anything beyond contacting them asking about the filing of the Satisfaction of Judgement, which we were not told about what they had said. Eventually, we found out that an Assignment of Judgement was filed by a XXXX XXXX ( whom is assumed to be representing IQ Data ) that assigns the collection of the judgement to IQ Data, but they did not file any Satisfaction of Judgement nor anything else regarding the fact that I had already paid them {$4000.00} to have my name removed from the debt. I need to find out what I can do to remove my name legally from the judgement that I already paid my agreed upon amount for, so I can have the ability to purchase a home for my family.

I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OK XXXX, on XX/XX/2020. On XX/XX/2020, I received a call from a IQ Data International debt collector stating that I owed over {$500.00} dollars and that they were collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX never once sent me a bill, or called to inform me of any balance owed. I contacted XXXX XXXX immediately after hearing from the debt collector to try and resolve the issue. I spoke with XXXX, and then XXXX XXXX. They told me that once I move out they are not allowed to contact me anymore and the procedure is to immediately sale the debt to a collector and from that point they dont deal with the debt anymore. They also stated that the debt came from me not shampooing the carpets before I moved out, so they were going to replace the carpets. I have pictures showing the carpet in good condition. It did need to be shampooed, however it was my belief that apartments are thoroughly cleaned and carpets shampooed on behalf of the property, before the next tenant moves in. The pictures that I have show the carpet in well enough condition that simply having them cleaned should have sufficed. XXXX XXXX kept my security deposit and then charged me an additional amount over {$500.00} to replace the carpets. I am not surprised by this at all because during my time their I watched several tenants move out and XXXX XXXX would replace the carpet in every apartment when someone moved out. A good friend of mine moved out of XXXX XXXX two months before I did and was also contacted by a collection agency within a month of moving out. Another problem that I had with this company is that my apartment had heating and air issue that caused mold in my second bedroom closet of my apartment, that I informed the office of and they never came and fixed. The heating and air system was positioned in the ceiling of my second bedroom closet. It had several issues and maintenance came out several times to try and fix it so they were fully aware of the issue but never successful in fixing it, or addressing the moisture or mold in the closet. I also have pictures of the mold in the closet. Also, XXXX XXXX office employees hold personal online and indoor garage sales in vacant apartments on the property. They inform the tenants of these sales via email. I do not know the exact amount of the collection as of right now because my call with XXXXQ Data International was disconnected and I was unable to get back in touch with them. During the first call I did not receive the name of the company and did not know who to contact. I also could not get in touch with XXXX XXXX office staff after my first inquiry about the debt. The only other attempt at communication Ive had from either company was today on XX/XX/2020. I missed a call from IQ Data International. They did not leave a voicemail, I only know it was them from calling the number back. I was unable to get in touch with a representative. I believe many of the practices of XXXX XXXX are completely unethical. I believe that they try to get over on their departing tenants, no matter how good of a tenant, or how good the condition of the apartment was left in. I moved out of the apartment because I was tasked to XXXX. Now that I am currently XXXX it is such a hassle having to deal with this, and hoping it doesnt hit my credit. I have intentions of buying a home before I return from my XXXX and this situation could greatly curtail those plans, and leave me struggling to find a place to live upon my return. Proof of phone conversations should be available through both XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International, seeing as both companies state that their calls are recorded.

As a consumer in an alleged credit transaction, in the event IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL or any other alleged creditor has any current contract with me in regards to this account, I reserve my right to rescission and rescind my signature for any and all transactions, upon which, all monies paid and property must be returned to me in full pursuant to 12 CFR 1026.23 ( a ), and 12 CFR 1026.23 ( d ). 12.

Dear Sir / Madam, My name is XXXX XXXX and I live in XXXX XXXX, FL I have a business in XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida. Every year my family and I fly to XXXX XXXX XXXX for two months in the summer. Every year I rent an apartment for two months and pay the Termination Fee ( another two months in rent ). I made an apartment rental agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1700.00} per month. At the beginning of the process, when they just showed me the apartment, I told them I was coming with my family for only 2 months, I told them I had a house in XXXX XXXX, FL and I was only coming for 2 months, I asked them if it was okay, they answer " Yes, if you will pay the Termination Fee '', I said " I will sure pay. " I was very transparent. I immediately paid a deposit of {$1700.00} and a rent for XXXX of {$1000.00} plus other fees of {$410.00}. We moved in on XX/XX/XXXX. The agreement states that if I want to terminate the lease, I must give them 60 days notice. I sent the 60 day notice on XX/XX/XXXX by email ( see attachment A ). On XX/XX/XXXX my family and I left the apartment and my staff cleaned the apartment and painted it, we brought it to the same condition as we got it. I returned the apartment on XX/XX/XXXX after my secretary came into the apartment with a XXXX XXXX employee and checked everything, a XXXX XXXX employee said she would only have to charge us for the curtain, which is {$70.00}, The apartment is great. The total amount for 4 months is {$7000.00} + {$70.00} = {$7100.00} Less {$1000.00} paid upon entering the apartment. Less security deposit of {$1700.00} Less {$1700.00} paid for XX/XX/XXXX Balance to be paid {$2500.00}. I did my best to resolve the issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX but unfortunately they just don't want to meet me or discuss the bill. They have a phone number on the bill statement if the payee has any concern, but XXXX XXXX is not really trying to resolve the issue. My secretary went to them office to talk with the manager, Ms. XXXX, a few times because we couldn't catch her over the phone. I called Ms. XXXX by myself so many times and she get on the phone only twice, at the first time she said she is busy and she will call me back later and at the 2nd time she said she has a Dr. appointment and she promises to call me back, SHE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I did search on XXXX and i found the headquarter office of XXXX XXXX XXXX in CA, i called them twice but they didn't answer so i left a voice message twice, and THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. The collection company is demanding XXXX from me. ( Of course this is not true ). I would like to point out that they have been calling for about month and a half and I explain to Ms. XXXX ( IQ DATA Collection ) that this is a mistake, and that I owe much less and I am willing to pay the correct amount, But I don't want to pay over what I need. She was so rude, She didn't believe any word I said, She said i am lie, She ignored me during the call, She didn't want to check with XXXX XXXX if I am right, She didn't want to calculate the bill with me, She blamed me and insulted me and said " You don't have the money to pay, right? just say it, you don't have money ''. And from the beginning they endlessly threatened to knock my credit. And indeed they did and knocked me the credit. And thats why credit card companies have drastically reduced my credit line by two cards. In addition, I lowered my credit score by 149 points which causes me immense damage. I am asking IQ DATA to remove any collection from all three credit bureaus immediately, And send me a letter of complete deletion of this matter.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against IQ Collection Agency for Violation of Debt Collection Practices, FCRA Rights, Inaccurate Reporting, and Metro 2 Non-Compliance Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a comprehensive complaint against IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN for its multiple violations, including improper debt collection practices, infringement of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), inaccurate reporting, and failure to comply with Metro 2 requirements. This collection agency 's actions have led to not only significant distress but also a deep concern about their conduct and methods. First and foremost, IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL has persistently engaged in harassing phone calls concerning a debt that I have reason to believe is unverifiable. Despite my repeated requests, the agency has failed to provide any evidence of verification for the debt, and it continues to engage in collection activities without adhering to proper protocols. This relentless harassment has exceeded 30 days, and I find this behavior not only unethical but also a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, I have discovered that IQ Collection Agency is reporting inaccurate information about the alleged debt to credit reporting agencies. This inaccurate reporting has led to damage to my credit profile, my credibility when applying for credit, and has already caused unnecessary distress. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that the agency may not be following the Metro 2 compliance laws, which govern the accurate reporting of consumer credit information. This is a direct violation of established industry standards and my rights as a consumer. It is equally troubling that despite my repeated requests, IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN has not provided any proof of verification for the alleged debt, nor have they disclosed their specific methods of validating the debt in question. This lack of transparency raises serious doubts about their collection practices and adherence to legal requirements. In light of the above, I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to : 1. Investigate IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL INs actions, including their improper debt collection practices, FCRA violations, inaccurate reporting, and Metro 2 non-compliance. 2. Ensure that IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN immediately ceases all communication until proper validation of the debt is provided in accordance with the FCRA. 3. Hold IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN accountable for their violations and impose appropriate penalties to deter further misconduct. 4. Facilitate the rectification of inaccurate reporting and ensure that my credit profile is appropriately corrected. 5. Request IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN to provide specific and verifiable methods of debt validation that adhere to legal standards. The process of harassment and misconduct by IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN has extended well beyond reasonable limits, causing me significant distress. I am seeking your assistance and intervention to put an end to this indecent treatment and to ensure my rights as a consumer are protected. I kindly request that you provide me with updates on your investigation and the actions taken to address this matter. I am committed to seeking justice and resolution in this situation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate your response within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

This complaint is regarding a debt notice I received from I.Q. Data International , Inc. ( " IQ Data '' ) dated XX/XX/22 for the amount of {$170.00} ( refer to attached ). The debt notice simply stated that I have some outstanding debts to the apartment that I resided previoulsy without any context and I was not communicated of any remaining balances by the apartment after following a proper move-out process. Accordingly, I called IQ Data expressing my intention to dispute the debts as clearly instructed on the debt notice. At the time, the representative informed me that the charge will be marked as " disputed '' in their system and that they'd provide me with additional information that shows that I owe the debt. Then, on XX/XX/22, I received a call from IQ Data reminding me that I have an outstanding debt with the apartment. During the call, I explained the situation and expressed my interest in better understanding the debts before taking any actions. The representative understood my situation and kindly informed me that she'd transfer me to an authorization manager for a 24 hours-hold approval so that I can contact the apartment and inquire about the debts. I'd like to file a formal complaint for the abusive behaviors of the authorization manager that this letter will describe, which seem clear violations of Federal Debt Collection Practices Act ( " FDCPA '' ). According to section 809 ( b ) of FDCPA, it is clearly stated that " if the consumer notifies the debt collector the debt is disputed, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment ''. I did not receive any verification of the debt from the debt collector after my initial dispute, meaning I still had no understanding of the debt I owed when I was speaking with the authorization manager. The abusive behaviors from the authorization manager started unsolicitedly, when I expressed my interests in better understanding the debts before resolving them. Under section 806 ( 2 ) of FDCPA, it is stated that " a debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in conn ection with the collection of a debt ''. Further, it is clearly stated that " the use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader '' is a violation. Further, section 807 of FDCPA clearly states " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. '' When I simply expressed my interests in obtaining basic understanding of the debt I wasn't made aware of, the authorization manager started to threaten/blackmail me with sentences like " If you don't act like an adult by paying the debts, I'm going to leave a permanent record to your credit report ''. Subsequently, when I explained that I wasn't made aware of any outstanding balances at the end of my move-out process and that I just want to understand the balance before taking any action, her response was " It's your fault that you didn't practice due diligence with the apartment '' and that " I have no right to contact them and that the apartment will not answer my call for any reason ''. I strongly believe these abusive verbiages are clear indications of violations to multiple subsections of FDCPA and that I request the proper corrective actions to be taken place.

I received a letter from I.Q. Data International at the end of XXXX. The letter was dated XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023 I sent a letter to them notifying them that the debt was not mine. I asked them to validate the debt and provide the following information : 1. The amount of the alleged debt ; 2. The full name and mailing address of the original creditor for this alleged debt ; 3. Documentation showing you have verified that I am responsible for this debt, or a copy of any judgment ; 4. Documentation showing you are licensed to collect debts in the state of Arizona. 5. Documentation showing that you are licensed to collect debts owed in the state of Florida. 6. Documentation collected, signed, and procured by XXXX at XXXX XXXX that may have resulted in a balance due including but not limited to a lease application, rental agreement, signed documents, and or any photo identification used to verify the identity of the person attempting to do business with XXXX at XXXX XXXX. 7. Proof of the last payment made on this account ( date, by whom, and form of payment ). 8. The original date of the application, rental agreement, or co-signed agreement at XXXX at XXXX XXXX that you are attempting to collect. 9. The terms of the application, rental agreement, or co-signed agreement at XXXX at XXXX XXXX that you are attempting to collect on. I have attached the full letter that I sent to them letting them know the debt is not mine and that I was requesting validation of the debt/disputing the debt, the notice that I received from them dated XX/XX/2023, a copy of the signed returned receipt from the certified letter that I sent them ( they received my request to validate the debt/dispute on XX/XX/2023 ), and a screenshot showing that XXXX. XXXX XXXX has already reported this debt that is not mine and I do not owe to my credit report ( I have confirmed the collection was reported to XXXX and XXXX ; I am in the process on confirming with XXXX ). As of today XX/XX/2023 I have not received a response from I.Q. Data International ( as I requested in my dispute/validation request letter ). It is my understanding of my rights under the FDCPA that when you dispute the debt ( as I did in writing less than 30-days from the time that I received their initial notification of the debt ), a debt collector can not report it to a credit reporting agency unless and until it verifies the debt. As of right now, I.Q. Data International is in violation of the FDCPA. My credit score has been negatively impacted by the reporting of a debt that IS NOT MINE. I dont know how this fraudulent account was even able to be opened for the debt that I am being associated with because MY CREDIT IS FROZEN! The reason I have my credit frozen is because my personal information has been compromised and I regularly receive notices from credit card companies and loan companies declining application that were submitted using my stolen personal information that were submitted without my knowledge by third-parties attempting to commit fraud. I have also submitted a dispute with XXXX and will be contacting XXXX and XXXX to follow their dispute processes. This is not my debt! I dont live in Florida nor do I know anyone who lives in Florida . I am distraught that some random apartment complex in Florida was able to open a fraudulent account in my name! I am even more upset and distraught that I am now being harassed and penalized by a debt collector who is not in compliance with the FDCPA!

In XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I had to break our lease in Florida due to us losing our jobs because of the pandemic. We had to relocate to Texas since that was the only location we could find jobs. We understood we would have to pay for breaking the lease. We waited to be contacted with the final amount but unfortunately, we never heard from the apartments. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I see the account has gone to collections due to us not paying. I contacted the apartments asking if we could pay them but unfortunately, they said we had to go through the debt collector. In those 9 months we were never contacted by the apartments or IQ Data Inc ( the debt collector ). On XX/XX/XXXX I XXXX their info and called them because we want to get this resolved. We were told by the apartments when I initially called, we owed {$2600.00}. Upon speaking with XXXX XXXX he proceeded to get my phone number, mailing address and my husbands phone number. He stated he did not have this information. He also stated we needed to pay {$2700.00} and he would remove it from our credit. I asked why it was more and he said they are charging an interest fee of {$89.00}. All I want is to make sure the debt collector is being honest about this. I looked up some info on FTC and read they are not allowed to collect interest. The next day XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX calls me but I am in the middle of a phone call and can not answer. He proceeds to call my husband and was EXTREMELY hostile towards him. My husband was just questioning why the interest and XXXX proceeded to raise his voice so my husband hung up. My husband told me about the situation and I called XXXX to try and explain our side. He then proceeded to start yelling at me over the phone stating we are trying to get out of paying for this. I want to make this clear, WE ARE NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING OUR DEBT. We were aware we would be charged for breaking the lease and have every intention on paying it. What we do not understand is why they are charging this interest fee and why they refuse to remove this from our credit if we do not pay the interest fee. XXXX mentioned it being a flat collection fee but saying they call it interest. I dont buy this. All I want is a clear and legitimate explanation. He hung up on me very rudely and I called back because again, we want to fix this. This affects my husbands and I credit tremendously to the point of us not having anywhere to live because nobody will lease to us. We have had impeccable renting history the last 8 years until COVID hit. All we want is a legitimate explanation if this is in fact true or correct. We are not trying to find loopholes or trying to get out of paying. They just never ever reached out to us even though he claims they did. I dont have any voicemails. Nothing. Then when WE reach out, XXXX XXXX was just disgusting. He gave us horrible customer service and I told him that. He said we are not his customer the apartments are, and he said he was putting us down as refusing to pay even though WE NEVER SAID WE WOULDN'T PAY. We never not once said that, and their recording can prove it. All XXXX did was yell at me and would not let me talk. He also called me a liar. I do not appreciate the way this is being handled. He is treating us like trash, and we do not deserve it. We are honest people who are just trying to not be taken advantage of. Please someone help us with this. I can not and will not call these people again. He is rude and just overall a XXXX human.

To whom it may concern : The reason for my concern is regarding a call I received a call from XXXX asking for my daughter. I explained that I was her mother and i could relay a message. I took all the information down and asked what it was in regards to and was told personal business. I said " oh a bill collector '' she said no that it was " personal business ''. I told her to take my name off the list and do not contact me back. XXXX then asked if I would still relay the message. I said no, and XXXX said " tell your daughter to quit using you as a reference then ''. Meanwhile i was at work, and this upset me more than anything. Just take my number out of your records. Why be combative. I am not going to send my daughter a message. XXXX from IQ Data says stop using me as a reference. Just take my number off the list. On break I called to speak to a supervisor, I initially spoke with XXXX and directly asked to speak with a supervisor. He put XXXX on the p hone. I asked XXXX to speak to a supervisor she said she was a Senior Representative. again I asked for a supervisor. Finally i speak with XXXX XXXX. I asked Ms. XXXX to not contact me back as I am a 3rd party. Meaning I do not have anything to do with this. She told me to tell my daughter to not use me as a reference she said she did not have time to argue and h/u. I called back and spoke with XXXX XXXX. I asked to speak with Ms. XXXX supervisor. He said that there were several supervisors. I then asked to speak with the General Manager, and was told they have no General Manager. I asked to speak with her immediate supervisor, and was told she had none. I was hung up on. I have nothing to do with this. I am not sending messages to my daughter for the collection agency, this is not XXXX. I want my number removed and to not be contacted. I thought the days of Bully Bill Collectors was over. I am an XXXX woman, I have survived XXXX XXXX 2 times. My family has been hit very hard by the current pandemic. I worry about children and I worry about their debt. I never knew my daughter had bills in collections, but now I do know that she is having some kind of financial problems. This is none of my business. But now I worry. Me and my husband have already began disagreeing on how to try and help her. I immediately had to take time off from work to call him and then I got a headache so bad it a made me violently ill. All i wanted was my to not be contacted again. Now I would like a record of just how unprofessional these people that represent IQ Data are. This business has only been around since XXXX. According to their Website they are provide collection services for apartments. Now I know its an apartment they are collecting on. Also it says they take compliance very seriously and are certified through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This type of behavior has given the collection industry a bad name. I could understand 1 bad apple but i spoke with 4 members of their staff including a manger and a senior representative. This is not one member this is a culture and speaks to the ownership. Does the Corporation condone this type of behavior? I don't owe the bill. I am a 3rd party. I did not sign anything making me accountable. I would not even known my daughter owed for an apartment until this call. Privacy, dignity and respect. This is what my daughter deserves and she got none of it and neither did I.

First contact was via telephone on XXXX during which the representative was very aggressive in telling me that if I must honor the contracts I signed. I was not able to finish a sentence. His entire goal was to confirm and collect a debt and would not listen to reason. He refused to provide any identifying information including account number or the company 's mailing address even. I called back on XXXX and XXXX but my calls were forwarded to the same individual who completely refused to listen to me and told me that because I would not pay he was going to mark the account as a " refusal to pay. '' I asked to speak with a supervisor and eventually was transferred to a voice mail. I left a message but did not receive a call back. I eventually called on a day my account representative was not there and was able to obtain an account number from someone else. On XXXX, within 5 days of initial telephone contact, I issued a Debt Validation Letter clearly stating that this is NOT a refusal to pay but an attempt to try and gather more information about the claimed debt ( a copy of the letter is uploaded as documents here ). The letter was sent via email at XXXX. The same day, I also mailed the letter to XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX PA XXXX. I asked that communication be made to my email address as my living situation is currently fluid. Despite my request to validate the debt, aggressive telephone calls continued. I insisted that he identify himself and learned his name is " XXXX '' but with a mumbled last name. I tried advising him that I am represented by counsel against the creditor, XXXX XXXX, for injuries by daughter sustained. I also tried to advise that a debt validation letter has been issued and requested that all future communications be made in writing. I could not finish my sentences due to his interruptions. During the latest call, on XX/XX/2023, XXXX threatened litigation against me for the alleged debt. He used harassing and offensive language in trying to bully me into making a payment. His fall back question was always Are you refusing to pay this debt? If not, here are the forms of payment we take. Every single time I alluded to my Debt Validation Letter or circumstances he either cut me off or put me on hold for XXXX minutes. I specifically stated My position is clearly stated in the letter I sent which is NOT a refusal to pay. Despite this, he voiced his intent that my account will be flagged as a refusal to pay which will result in legal action against me. As of XX/XX/2023 I have received information that my XXXX XXXX has been impacted. I only assume that is because of this reporting. Per law, I have a legal right to request a debt validation here which I have properly done here. To date, this company has not provided any written communication to me but instead they continue to harass and bully me into trying to pay a debt, and now have made a reporting to a bureau which has adversely impacted my credit. They have never even notified me there is a debt in writing or provided any written response to my XXXX letter. Meanwhile any potential amounts owed are part of my own personal injuries claim against said creditor and as such should have been settled as part of that claim. The creditors failure to do so amounts to waiver any moneys owed. This credit collection agency has made me feel less than human. They do not observe or proceed to treat people fairly nor respectfully.

I am a XXXX resident of XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX 2022 a fraudulent final ledger was submitted to the corporate office showing that I owed the apartment complex XXXX This amount was turned over to IQ Data XXXX in XXXX. I was made aware of this error on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX when I received a collections call from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX My account # : XXXX & Payment Confirmation : XXXX ). I immediately went to XXXX XXXX apartments to speak with the XXXX and get the ledge corrected. The word withdraw was placed on my ledger on the XXXX errors I will explain below and I was told she would inform Corporate of the errors, who would then inform the collections firm of the errors and it would be deleted. Fast forward XXXX months later and I received a phone call on Friday XX/XX/XXXX about the same collections but with added interest now totaling XXXX. On XXXX XXXX 2023 I paid for an immediate deletion of the fraudulent reporting that has been negatively impacting my XXXX XXXX for XXXX months. There are XXXX items on the ledger that are incorrect. I have attached to this complaint a copy of the ledger corrections and the email of the lost/found final check that I will explain below. XXXX. Dated XX/XX/XXXX/2022 highlighted in yellow XXXX effective XXXX XXXX XXXX. Dated XXXX/XXXX/2022 highlighted in yellow XXXX effective XXXX XXXX XXXX. Dated XX/XX/XXXX highlighted in yellow XXXX effective XXXX XXXX These XXXX items are duplicate charges. My lease ended XXXX XXXX, 2022 and I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX, 2022. Which means I went from a lease to a month to month XXXX rental rate on XXXX. I was charged this XXXX rate on XX/XX/XXXX, located in the ledger with a star ( XXXX ). The XXXX additional incorrect XXXX charges should have been deleted when I brought this to the XXXX XXXX managements attention in XXXX of 2022. But this was never communicated to corporate or to the collection agency. XXXX. Dated XX/XX/XXXX highlighted in yellow Trash out-items left in closet XXXX This line item references a white pole located in the master bedroom closet. This white pole was in the closet when I moved into the townhouse, it was being used to support the shelves in the closet. While living there, my husband reinforced the shelves making the pole no longer necessary. But upon move out we left the pole where we found it. The XXXX at XXXX XXXX has acknowledged this and has a photo of the pole in my file. I saw it today XX/XX/XXXX when I visited her office. XXXX. Dated XX/XX/XXXX highlighted in yellow Utility Fee-Final water XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX I dropped off a check for XXXX} with the memo : Final XXXX Payment in relation to this water bill.

XXXX On XXXX I found out that IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL ( a debt collection company ) had recently filed a Major Derogatory Account action with XXXX. It is about alleged failure to pay final utilities on an apartment ( XXXX XXXX in XXXX ) vacated on XXXX. The amount is {$220.00} of which {$52.00} is a penalty. This is an apartment that my daughter rented, and I had co-signed the rental agreement. Here is my complaint : The first time that my daughter or I heard about this was a few days ago the aforementioned date. IQ Data has seriously hurt my and my daughters credit rating after making only feeble attempts to contact me/us. When I contacted them they said they called me several times in XXXX of XXXX. But, I dont answer unknown numbers ( hardly anyone does ) and they didnt leave a message! They claim that by law, they dont have to leave voice messages or send text. Supposedly because of privacy concerns. Not leaving voice mail and not texting because of privacy concerns is a spurious argument. They could leave a message saying something like, This is IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL, a collection company. We are trying to resolve an issue of non-payment on behalf of XXXX XXXX. Please call this phone number, visit this website, or send U.S. mail to this address. Thus, there are no privacy concerns and people would have the opportunity to resolve issues before they are reported to a credit reporting agency. My daughter did leave a valid forwarding address, but no one tried to contact her at that address. She lived at that forwarding address until XXXX. Nine months is plenty of time to get U.S. mail to her, but she received none! Shouldnt such non-payment issues be pursued within 90 days? I called IQ Data on two separate occasions speaking with XXXX XXXX on one and XXXX on the other. Of course, they are motivated to get people to pay, but they exert undue pressure : I asked for proof/evidence that the charge was legitimate, and XXXX belittled my request. I had to persevere to get a U.S. mail address to make the request. ( I have sent the request to them via certified mail. ) I also asked to have the report to XXXX removed if we pay the balance. ( Im told by legal counsel that I need written assurance because collection companies say one thing but often fail to follow through. ) XXXX said he would have to consult with his manager, and subsequently said that they would delete the XXXX report only if I paid over the phone NOW! I am unwilling to pay until I have assurance that it is a legitimate charge and if I get the promise to remove the report in writing. Because IQ DATA failed to show due diligence and because of their unwillingness to be reasonable, I now have a derogatory finding with the credit reporting agency ( agencies? ) with no way to remove it. My credit score has taken a hit before I was even informed that I was considered delinquent in payment. ( Other things that might shed light on the issue : 1 ) As I recall, my daughter paid for her electricity directly to the utility company. So, is this final bill for water which she paid to XXXX XXXX? 2 ) We learned that another management company bought the apartment complex in question from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. If XXXX XXXX pushed this forward into collections, wouldnt that have happened well before XXXX? )

So IQ Data International has been reporting false information and wrong amounts to my credit report that I don't owe. XXXX is when this false reporting started. I've called the collection agency about this matter because we didn't get a notice or anything it just showed up on mine and my spouses credit report. We asked them on the phone call on XXXX what is this amount for they didn't explain just told us it's from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and stated we couldn't dispute verbally we had to mail in a letter to dispute. We also asked them to send us the list to show what we were being charged for. XXXX XXXX is some apartments they I lived in and I was having disputes with them after our move out because they were trying to over charge us, charge us for things we weren't responsible for and also tried to charge us for things that never existed in the unit. So after a couple of months disputing with them I got legal advice from a lawyer to take them to small claims court. I told XXXX XXXX I was going to sue them and take them to small claims court on XXXX if my account was resolved by XXXX. So they agreed to pay me and drop all charges on a phone call on XXXX. A hour later the apartments emailed me stating I wasn't going to get my full deposit back they were keeping our pet deposit for carpet replacement in the unit which our unit never had carpet. So after still disputing we didn't come to an agreement that day so on XXXX out of no where this is when the report hits our credit and we had no idea what the amount was for. So after that phone call on XXXX with the collection agency time goes by and on XXXX we get a letter in the mail from the collection agency dated XXXX saying they denied our letter of dispute. Which I never sent in a letter so I called them the day we received that letter asking how did y'all deny my letter when I never sent in a letter during that time and the agent couldn't explain then change up saying they took a verbal dispute as us disputing. I told her I'm actually mailing my later today and the agent told me to also send in proof with my dispute letter on showing how I don't owe that amount. So XXXX I actually mailed in my dispute letter and my proof with all the legal spill for them to do an investigation, very this amount is correct, and to take this off my credit report. Weeks are going by I called the collection agency numerous of times trying to get this list to showing what the amount was for they kept saying the were mailing it but they never were. On XXXX is when we finally got the list in the mail of showing what we were being charge for by XXXX XXXX. So XXXX we go to court against XXXX XXXX we didn't get a judgement this day. XXXX is when we go the judgment in the mail/online we won our court case against XXXX XXXX XXXX we didn't owe them money they had to pay me double of my deposit. On XXXX I emailed the collections agency my court documents of us winning and called on the phone to let them know I don't owe this amount this needs to be taking off my credit by XXXX because it's been months of false reporting to my credit. I couldn't get a new vehicle because of this and also couldn't get a credit limit increase on my credit card this has been causing a lot of stress and emotional damage.

Recently, I have been contacted by a debt collection company IQ Data International located in XXXX, XXXX. My debt was in the amount of {$1700.00} for amounts owed to a previous apartment complex. I did agree to pay the total amount on XX/XX/2023 in XXXX when I was originally contacted. However due to unforeseen personal issues I knew I could not make it in full and did not want to put myself or my family in financial constraint. On Monday, XX/XX/2023 at XXXX EST, I called IQ Data International to speak to my " case worker '' in order to set up a payment arrangement. I spoke to XXXX and explained to him my situation and offered to pay {$200.00} as the initial payment and requested a payment arrangement for the rest. XXXX told me I was not able to set up a payment arrangement and had to apply for loans to pay the account in full. XXXX continue to state that after receiving multiple denial letters then he may be able to assist. I explained to him that currently my two children and I are homeless and were attempting to move into another apartment and my credit was not in the ideal place to get a loan. I then asked him to cancel the payment as I was unable to pay it on XX/XX/XXXX in which he then stated he would report to the credit bureaus that I am " Refusing to Pay '', which is false. I then asked him why would he report false information when I am attempting to pay my debt just at a lower initial payment. XXXX then went to say how a loan would look better on my credit than a collection, which as a debt collector, credit advice is outside of his scope of practice. From then XXXX transferred me to his supervisor XXXX XXXX which I did not know I was being transferred. Once XXXX answered, I explained to her my situation with XXXX and my finances. She then went to say that it is correct and I would have to get a loan. I reiterated to XXXX what I told XXXX that this was new information to me and I could not get a loan. XXXX then went on to ask why I couldn't. I told her that my credit is not ideal and I am trying to move and then told me to ask my family or friends for the money. I told XXXX that threatening to send false information to credit bureaus that I am refusing to pay will result in me reporting her and the company to the XXXX, CFPB and Maryland Department of Labor Consumer Affairs. XXXX then said I was not a consumer, which I countered and stated that I was and for her company to be able to be licensed in the state of Maryland they must be under the Department of Labor Consumer and Financial Affairs Division. XXXX then proceeded to say " You are not a consumer, you are a whining little girl you can not pay her bills! ". The call was recorded and violated my rights under the Federal Trade Commission 's Fair Debt Collections Practices Act 806. Harassment or abuse : ( 2 ) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader and 807. False or misleading representations ( 8 ) Communicating or threatening to communicate to any person credit information which is known or which should be known to be false, including the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed.

On XX/XX/2021 an IQ Data International debt collector contacted me, they verified my name and phone number and stated it was an attempt to collect a debt in regards to an unpaid judgment. Due to not receiving my Itemized Deduction List from the previous apartment I was unaware of the amount owed prior to my move out. I requested the apartment send it and updated my mailing address but still never received it. I attempted to set a payment date of XX/XX/XXXX and negotiate a settlement amount. I was told the earliest I could not set a settlement past the date of XX/XX/2021 because they would begin reporting to credit agencies on XX/XX/2021. I do not recall my XXXX being verified however the agent pressed me about if or had I received my XXXX or my XXXX which neither I had not. She used my social security number without my permission to look at my stimulus payment date after I had already disclosed I had not been given a date when she first asked if I had received it. I told her I was currently living out of a XXXX because I had just found work in a new city and that 3 days was unrealistic for me to have nearly {$2000.00}. She told me it was realistic because the stimulus could come any day. I tried to set the payment for XX/XX/2021 but again she told me she couldn't give me the settlement amount for that date. I agree again on XX/XX/2021 and then continued on with looking at my stimulus, again never verify my social or gaining my approval to look. She verified if the last XXXX digits of the account were mine and I said yes. In attempts of hope, I again asked to set a payment date for XX/XX/2021 because I needed more time. I was unaware of this payment and didn't know it was even sent to collections until the date of the call. She continued to say they would have to report beginning XX/XX/2021, and she couldn't do anything else so once again I agreed to set payment for XX/XX/2021 with a settlement amount and was then asked for my visa card. I asked if I could speak to someone in regards to receiving documentation before I agree to make a payment. A " XXXXr '' rudely answered the phone and I stated before I make a payment I would like to receive a document in the mail stating that once I make the payment it will not in any way affect my credit report. The male " XXXX '' stated he would provide documents in my email and once he did I had to give him my XXXX card or else he would not agree to the settlement amount. I asked for a letter document in the mail seeing as I've never received any letters by mail from a collection agency, he again denied me and said if I didn't take the email and give him my XXXX card he would then opt out of the settlement and make me pay the full balance as well as report it to my credit report. I refused his threat and stated I wanted a paper in the mail if I couldn't get a document in the mail I would not be making any payments. I never once denied making a payment I just asked for documentation of this debt being paid. He then stated he was now going to make me pay the full amount and would be reported to my credit. I then denied to make any payments and I can't recall if he or I ended the call.

On XX/XX/2023 a full rent payment was made to the apartment rental complex ( can provide name if requested ). I saved the electronic payment receipt and electronic payment information on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023 I received a debt collection letter from IQ Data International Inc. I called IQ Data International Inc. on XX/XX/2023 in response to this letter and was told to email the receipt to XXXX. I emailed the receipt with the account number in the subject line to XXXX. I was told over the phone that the account was placed in disputed status and they would not try to collect the debt until they verified the receipt. On XX/XX/2023 I received another debt collection letter from IQ Data International Inc. for the original monetary amount and the same account. On XX/XX/2023 I called IQ data International Inc. and asked the status of the account, if they had received the emailed receipt, and asked that the debt collection be disputed. The representative informed me that they had not read the email, had not read the receipt, but had received the email. I asked that they read the receipt and email to dispute the debt collection. The representative informed me that he could not access his email. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He informed me that all supervisors were in a meeting. I asked to speak to another agent. He informed me that there were no other agents. I asked for an email to again send the receipt. The agent provided the following email : XXXX. I sent the receipt to XXXX. I asked the agent to confirm that he received the receipt. The agent could not login to the email, so I asked to speak to anyone able to login to the email. The agent forwarded my call to another representative. The new person on the phone could not login to the XXXX email but said that the account had been placed On Hold and told me to call back in 24 hours for the status of the account and to confirm the receipt had been received. I called back 24 hours later on XX/XX/2023 and informed IQ Data International Inc. that the call was being recorded and asked for the status of my account and confirmation the receipt had been received. The agent said the account was in the Disputed status but could not confirm that the receipt had been received. I asked for the timeline for the process, how I would be notified about the resolution, how I would be contacted for the resolution, and next steps. The agent said there was no timeline, that I would not be contacted about the resolution, and that there would be no guarantee of contact. I requested that the company contact me with the status of the account and the agent said they would not contact me for the resolution and that there was no timeline. I asked to speak to a supervisor and for the extension of the supervisor. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX and the phone was picked up but silent and then hung up by the person. I called back at the number and extension given for XXXX XXXX and was sent to an unarmed voicemail. I left a message requesting a call back with the account number, status, timeline, and confirmation of the email receipt. I have received no contact back from IQ Data International Inc.

I have sent multiple requests for verification that I owe this debt to this company countless times and have received no response. They are continuously charging interest on a supposed rental collection, the total balance is perpetually rising and increasing to an astronomical amount. I have asked for proof of their right to even charge me interest for this type of account, still did not receive any response. I do not owe anything that matches this balance whatsoever. The bureaus seem to allow them to keep getting away with charging me a balance that I do not owe, and giving them permission to increase the balance perpetually, due to unknown reasons. How can a rental lease collection account charge perpetual interest if the alleged original account already charged off the debt. This is illegal. I have lost everything due to Covid-19 back in 2022, I have also mentioned this to this company, still no response or regard to my situation or request for information. I will never be able to afford this account even if I did claim this as a valid debt. It is literally ruining my life. I can't even get a car for transportation to get to work, or rent anywhere to stay, and the balance just keeps getting higher and higher. It was around {$8700.00} at first, now it's around {$9500.00}. Seriously, can you guys please consider deleting this account from my report as a courtesy of goodwill due to it affecting someone's quality of life significantly and their inability to recover due to this being a monolithic obstacle to achieving financial stability? According to the CFPB 's own words, and I quote. " A debt collector may not collect any interest or fee not authorized by the agreement or by law. The interest rate or fees charged on your debt may be increased if your original loan or credit agreement permits it and no law prohibits the increase, or if state law expressly permits the interest or fee. '' Sources : Can a debt collector increase the interest rate on a debt I owe?. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collecting Interest on Charged Off Debts and How Debt XXXX Must Disclose the Accrual of Interest to the Debtor '' Collecting interest on charged off debts and how debt XXXX must CFPB. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I understand you bought this account for pennies on the dollar, but I will not be able to pay any of it, neither do I claim this debt or balance as valid. I am virtually homeless, and have a XXXX, and I need my credit to obtain resources to help me recoup. If you can provide validation and your permission that this debt is valid and you are allowed to collect this debt, I will then consider trying to pay at most {$75.00}, that's all I can afford seriously. If you can not provide the proof please remove this account. This account is affecting my life so much, I have no other option but to continuously pursue fighting this debt. So if you want to keep the account on my report thinking I will pay something, I can not. I will keep disputing it, and take any actions necessary due to my conviction that this account is not valid, and that I do not owe this balance. Thank you

IQ Data has attempted to contact me several times - even after I specifically asked them not to after the first time in reference to a {$14000.00} debt I do not own or know anything about from XXXX XXXX XXXX in Texas. I was met with abusive language and intimidation tactics. I had already reached out to the apartment complex listed on my credit report because I have never lived there. I have been living in XXXX XXXX for over 20 years. I have been in the same apartment I am in currently for 6 years. I am an almost XXXX XXXX XXXX woman. My credit score is XXXX! I pay every bill on time. This accusation is ridiculous. I've never even been to Texas! XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX IQ Data International I am reaching out to whomever this matter concerns on behalf of myself, XXXX XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer. I am enforcing my rights according to 15 USC 1692g by asking your company to VALIDATE the alleged debt as well as send me evidence that i am obligated to pay this alleged debt. I am not refusing to pay the debt but rather asking your company to validate this debt as it is your lawful duty when asked by a consumer. I am also making your company aware that invalidated information on my consumer report may be fraud under federal and state laws, and I will not hesitate to bring forth legal action if my rights continue to be violated under the FDCPA and FCRA. You have 30 days to validate this debt and during this time all furnishing and collection activities must cease and desist through any and all mediums including my consumer report. If IQ Data International fails to respond within 30 days to validate this debt it shall be deleted and removed from my credit file immediately. If adverse action is taken against me as a consumer I will consult my legal counsel. Please be advised that according to 15 USC 1692g - Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

I made a payment deal with IQ International Debt agency via phone in XXXX of XXXX to pay them a certain amount out of the full amount considering that I did not have the full at that time. I gave my debt card information, agreed to pay the first half and then agreed to pay the second half by XX/XX/XXXX. I finally came into some money with my NY State Tax Return that Ive been waiting months for due to identify theft but when I went into my bank account today on XX/XX/XXXX I noticed IQ International swept that money away on XX/XX/XXXX without authorization. ( On the recorded line back in XXXX of XXXX with XXXX XXXX, I agreed to give them the rest of the money owed by the end of XXXX, NOT authorizing a payment. Theres a difference. ) Today, after discovering the authorized charge and grab of my money in my account, I immediately called XXXX XXXX and reintroduced myself to refresh his memory of our last conversation. With tears in my eyes, I explained my current reality of financial hardship and how I didnt ignore their requests for the money and that I just simply did not have it but was willing to give them a cut of my tax return when it would eventually come to me. Within minutes, XXXX XXXX got frustrated and angry with me, downplaying my raw emotion and pleads to please help fix this as Im a single mother with XXXX children who relies on every dollar that comes to me. I explained I was not ignoring him or blowing him off, I had every intention to pay ... I just needed a payment plan as life took a different turn due to circumstances out of my control. He refused to work with me and raised his voice ( would almost consider it yelling ) at me 90 % of the 45 minute phone call during an emotional vulnerable time, pleading for his help. I told XXXX that I did not authorize a payment to go through with them on my bank account. Back in XXXX of XXXX, I recall clearly agreeing to have the money by the end of XXXX which is no way in the same as agreeing to an authorize CHARGE on my account. This is UNACCEPTABLE debt collector action. I called my bank immediately to dispute the charge as well. XXXX was very kind to me the first phone call back in XXXX of XXXX. Understandably so as I was handing over the money owed. This phone call today was inappropriate and uncalled for and Im extremely upset that I received an UNAUTHORIZED charge by IQ international on my account. XXXX told me that they sent letters to my home before the UNAUTHORIZED garnishment. Did not receive a single letter. XXXX repeatedly told me to get a lawyer to look at the recorded call back in XXXX and told me hes terminating my call. Jasons complete disregard to a human beings struggles is astounding. After telling him that he neglected to tell me important details regarding my debt in the first phone call and that he should really thoroughly explain to people things they should know before paying, he responded with well its not my responsibility for you to understand what we say to you. This is mind blowing, cold and unprofessional to say to someone who is hysterical on the other line for good reason. Something needs to be done. Unacceptable.

Thank you for reviewing my complaint. Complaint against : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Background : On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email to XXXX XXXX, the apartment XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX to inquire about options for my daughter XXXX XXXX XXXX to break her lease. XXXX informed me that the fee to terminate the lease was 2 months of rent ( {$2700.00} ) along with a 45-day notice. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent an email to XXXX XXXX apartment informing them that she was providing them with a 45-day notice with plans to move out on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX contacted her on XX/XX/XXXX confirming he had received the email and that he would honor the terms provided in the email by XXXX XXXX. Additionally, he communicated to XXXX there would be no additional charges. XXXX paid XXXX rent. She then sent a check to XXXX XXXX Apartments for {$2700.00}. The check was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX confirmed that XXXX received the check. Reason for the complaint : 1 ) Harassing phone calls, 2 ) pressured into providing account information, 3 ) withdrawing funds from XXXX account with providing details for the charges. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX received a Collections call from XXXX XXXX from IQ Data International , INC. During the phone call XXXX XXXX XXXX that she owed XXXX an additional {$970.00}. She told XXXX that if she did not pay the {$970.00} by XX/XX/XXXX, IQ Data International , Inc. would report her to the credit agency on XX/XX/XXXX ( 7 days later ). During the call XXXX pressured XXXX into providing her Credit Card information so she would not have negative credit. On XX/XX/XXXX, IQ International withdrew XXXX from her checking account, overdrawing her account. XXXX felt forced to provide her account information as she was looking to rent housing in XXXX XXXX and did not want the negative credit reporting to impact her ability to find housing. After hearing about the call, I reached out to IQ Data International Inc. a ) We had no prior knowledge of any additional funds owed prior to receiving the collections call. We did not receive written notice of any additional funds owed. b ) I asked XXXX what she was going to report the credit agency given we werent delinquent. She did not provide a response or any details as to what she would be reporting to the credit agency. c ) When I asked what we owed {$970.00} for, XXXX could not provide any information. She did, however, give me hypothetical examples of what the charges could be She told me it could be for cleaning the apartment. She asked me if we had a walk through and if we didnt, it was probably for damages. ( note, XXXX stopped by the office on multiple occasions on the day we moved out and no one was in the office for a walk-through ) d ) When XXXX called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquire about the additional charges, they told her she did not owe any money and they currently processing her deposit refund. We provided a {$400.00} deposit when we signed the lease agreement. ( note, if you need examples of email communications, I can provide them upon request )

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Ref : Credit Report Collection Account, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing regarding the entry on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a debt they allege I incurred to XXXX XXXX TX in the original amount of {$7200.00}. I fully and wholeheartedly disagree that I owe any debt to XXXX XXXX TX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I arranged to lease an apartment at the XXXX XXXX XXXX complex, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX in XXXX Texas. The rental rate for the apartment was {$730.00} per month and the lease commenced on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I found it was necessary for me to vacate the apartment due a change of employment and a family health emergency. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX management personnel and inquired about options for a lease buyout. XXXX XXXX XXXX management personnel referred me to page number thirty-nine of my lease and the section titled LEASE BUYOUT AGREEMENT. I have attached lease page number thirty-nine to this letter and can provide a copy of the full lease if necessary. In accordance with the LEASE BUYOUT AGREEMENT section, XXXX XXXX XXXX management personnel determined and agreed that I could buy-out the lease by paying the buyout fee of {$1400.00}. I immediately paid the {$1400.00} buyout fee plus {$36.00} in ancillary fees in the presence of XXXX XXXX XXXX management personnel as is referenced on the attached copy of my credit card statement for that month. I vacated the apartment on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and left the apartment in clean and undamaged condition. I have had no contact from XXXX XXXX XXXX complex or XXXX XXXX XXXX until I noted the collection entry on my credit report and filed a dispute about the matter with XXXX. I would note that XXXX XXXX XXXX management personnel have had my correct and current address after I vacated the apartment as they had forwarded at least XXXX delivery to me that was received there after I vacated the apartment. I deny that I owe any amount to XXXX XXXX TX OR XXXX XXXX XXXX and would note that the only correspondence I have received from either entity is a letter I received yesterday from XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX in which they allege that I owe the original {$7200.00} plus accrued interest. A copy of that letter is attached. XXXX XXXX XXXX has not provided me with any verification, validation, billing or account statements, or any information regarding their ownership and authority to collect the alleged original debt or the reason that they believe I owe same. I would like to dispute this debt and all reports and records regarding this issue on my credit report and would additionally like a copy of this letter and attachments to be included in my credit report and provided to anyone who requests same until this matter is resolved or the incorrect debt information is removed. Thank you for your help and attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

IQ Data International Collection was added to my credit report as a collection fee of {$960.00} for a surety deposit that covered up to {$1500.00} from our previous property management XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX also operating under XXXX XXXX. I called IQ Data to ask about this erroneous debt because the surety deposit was paid in full, we had a separate security deposit of months rent at Northwoods and I also have the email from this property stating that the deposits went through and we have {$0.00} balance. I spoke with a bill collector who was assigned to my file, Mr. XXXX XXXX, and he falsely stated that I owe the entire amount, lied that he sent me notifications by mail and phone which I never received and when I asked the date he mailed them he said I dont know, I dont own USPS. I explained to him I never received any notification, I wasnt aware of this collection and that I had the assurance there was no balance owed to Northwoods or elsewhere. I told him to which e-mail I can forward the email from XXXX property stating {$0.00} balance and he said he doesnt have a company e-mail. The gentleman was very rude, aggressive, interrupted me, didnt let me talk or ask or give clarifications, and was not keeping a calm voice tone. It waa impossible to have a conversation with him, or with anyone else when I asked to be sent XXXX manager or supervisor, and I wasnt able to dispute this because all he was saying was I owe the money and all he can do is cut me deal to pay it today because he said it doesnt matter if I wasnt aware of this or notified by any means and refused to accept my documentation stating there is no amount owed to anyone. He also kept on saying that I dont understand how finaces work. Very disappointed and he kept on saying that I can say all I want but this wont take that off my credit report, so Is rather let him cut me a deal to pay today. I told him I am a XXXX XXXX struggling with money and that all I do is ensure I can pay for bills on time and food and necessities for my baby and try to fix my credit to soon apply for a house loan. I dont need this additional stress from something that is illegal and that can never be present to me in writing. I specifically asked to forward me the document he alleged he sent a while ago and he refused to do that, as well. I cant pay for something I am not responsible for and that fraudulent. I came across many complaints filed against the same debt collection company IQ Data International and this is unacceptable to take advantage of poor people and try to ask for money that no one owes! Please, please help me resolve this issue because that person on the phone assured me there is no way to take it out of my report than expecting me to pay something I dont even know what it might represent! I will send them a fax with that e-mail stating no balance is due that the property manager sent me, but I can not have the assurance that anyone will receive it or accept it as evidence, they may completely disregard it. Please advise how to proceed to get this fixed.

IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX put a collection on my credit reports. It was from an apartment complex in XXXX XXXX Minnesota ; after legally being able to get out of a lease - due to a fireplace that leaked smoke into the unit from adjoining units fireplace. This caused years of damage to my health, and smoke into the apartment. The apartment complex " XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' claimed they remedy the situation, however according to a chimney inspector professional it was stated that the chimney needed to be rebuilt, as there were cracks in it. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX never took action upon this ; and just documented it on there records that it was fixed. Well due to this factor, and also a continued mold in the walls in the hvac closet & adjoining bathroom wall was a health hazard, and was repaired once, but thus came back again ( reverified in XXXX ), as I was looking at my old apartment # XXXX. However, in XX/XX/XXXX after battling XXXX and XXXX XXXX myself and other half had lost our only son at age XXXX. I with being XXXX was not able to work, and my other half could not continue working due to the stress effects after the death of our son. Therefore, I used the clause in the Lease agreement to move out, and get out of the lease. But, the apartment about 1 month after leaving billed me for a supposed Buy out of lease. The loss of income resulted in XXXX not having any other choice, but to move out and then we became homeless. The end result though was XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX sent this non-paid bill to IQ Data International and as of XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX as a collections which went onto my credit reports. Still to this day almost 5 years later, I have been homeless & no apartments would let me rent and be on a lease. This has wrecked and caused so much anxiety & stress in life, and has ruined my life even more. My apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had been over a period of 13 years ... a very long term and good resident! Under the law regarding XXXX and XXXX XXXX it has applied to a discharge of my education loan, and also applies to Collections. I have contacted IQ Data International on many occasions via email, and the most recent was XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX there has been no response via email or my mailing address. I clearly stated this law with a Federal Document showing such, in addition to my verification of Permanent and Total XXXX proof that provided forgiveness to my education loans. This collection company is the worst ever, and plenty of reviews are on the internet that testify to this. IQ Data International if you call will be very rude, make threats, try to get someone to give them a credit card information and push paying the collection in full. There is no professionalism whatsoever, and ignoring my numerous requests is not in accordance with the law. I as a Permanent and Total XXXX individual, also with no income being exempt from this debt, qualifies for my collection to be completely removed from all credit bureaus ... .and immediate action taken.!!

I will upload the rest of this explanation in the letter document I wrote to you. This is the start of the explanation, but I ran out of space. I am contacting you because a dispute with XXXXQ Data Collections Agency has not been resolved after four months o fdefamation ofmy financial credibility, not to mention my integrity, characterand moral values in handling payments. I am a co-signer for my son, XXXX XXXX, on his apartment rental contract. He moved out of XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TX, in XXXX, XXXX. This move wasa break XXXX contract due to an early exit. We paid the penalty fee as well as the XXXX rent in XXXX, XXXX. [ Receipt documents are uploaded in the email trail to XXXX, IQ Data, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. ] During the month of XXXX, XXXX, ownership ofthe apartment complex changed. We have always paid rent on time, in fact, usually the last days of the previous month. XXXX moved to his new apartment. We thought all was in order. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from Agent XXXX of XXXX XXXX, saying that we owed XXXX XXXX, {$3400.00}. This was the first time I had ever had to deal with a collections agency, so I asked her what I needed to do. She said I needed to pay her on the spot or she would report me to the credit bureaus. My son was XXXX XXXX and I live ni CA, so I decided to pay her, as she requested, knowing I could always dispute the case ifmy son had evidence of payments. I was unaware that she had already entered a collections account on XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the day before this call. I used my VISA credit card through XXXX XXXX to pay the sum she requested [ See XXXX XXXX credit card statement XXXX XXXX XXXX. Then Icalled my sonwho said that he had paid thecontract break penalty as well as the XXXX payment in XXXX, and he sent me receipt documents. I called XXXX XXXX to inform them of the situation. They said I could file a dispute. I gave them the information over the phone. When I didn't hear back from them, I called them and was informed that I had not proceeded properly and was given clearer instructions. This starts the long email trail of explanations and attached proofdocuments to XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX [ See XXXX IO Data Dispute Emails ]. I did not hear from XXXX at all, but I did get a call from XXXX XXXX again after the dispute was filed. She said that since I took my money back, I need to pay her again or she would contact the credit bureaus. I tried to explain that I had not " taken my money back '' and that it was ni dispute because of the evidence of payment. She responded with something similar to : " Well, have fun reading your credit report! Enjoy! '' and she hung upon me. I was shaken and my XXXX was pounding, so I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and they said that the dispute was placed on the VISA platform and thatneither IQ Data norI could touch it. Soon after this, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, that I had won the dispute against XXXX XXXX and that the funds were returned to my credit card account [ See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ].

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making the complaint against I Q data international for continuing to invade my individual privacy by committing abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. I have never given I Q data international any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud or aggravated identity theft by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I have attached an FTC report which will be used when filing for litigation in Federal court to this complaint. I am aware that the in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and and the assigned are both liable for violation under 15 U.S. code 1692e ( 12 ). I have not validated any alleged debt with I Q data international and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of XX/XX/2023, I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving I Q data international any right to collect on this alleged debt. It is my belief that I Q data international is attempting unlawful extortionate activities and theft by deception by attempting to furnish false and deceptive forms. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from I Q data international before they committed multiple violated multiple violations under the FCRA and FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If I Q data international can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation.

I moved out of an apartment complex XX/XX/XXXX after breaking our lease early. We paid over {$4000.00} in fees to break our lease early, which I have documented proof of. In XXXX, the apartment complex reported to IQ Data International that we had : cleaning fees '' that had gotten sent to collections from said apartment. It lists that we owed {$150.00} in " housekeeping fees '' and {$120.00} for " carpet cleaning ''. Let me clarify, that I have documented photo and video proof that when we moved out the unit was in pristine condition, XXXX better than when we moved in. When we moved in there was old spider nests on the ceiling in our bedroom, broken window blinds in multiple rooms, and holes in the wall that were plastered over but never painted over again to match the walls & dirty, stained windows. It was disgusting and I have photos of all of it. Our unit was also 100 % hardwood floors, there is no carpet for there to be a " carpet cleaning fee '' for. As stated, I have documented proof of all of this. The complex also never even attempted to reach out to us regarding these cleaning fees prior to sending them to collections. When I reached out to IQ Data International to dispute these charges, they were absolutely no help. They screamed at me on the phone and laughed at me as well, I was almost in tears. When I asked for proof of this debt being owed, all they showed me was a receipt from the complex for the fees, not any actual proof of such damages. I have been trying to resolve this with the complex ( XXXX XXXXssing ) and their property management company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Previously XXXX XXXX ) for over a year now. It is literally impossible to get ahold of anyone in either offices, after tons of emails and hundreds of calls. I eventually filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The property management company replied to me stating that these fees are because of us breaking our lease early. Which, like I said, I have documented proof FROM THEM that we paid our lease break fee, and that this collections report was strictly only for cleaning fees ( which are fraudulent. ) Now they are trying to change their story over what the report was even for?! I don't know what else to do, neither XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXt is helping me to resolve these fraudulent reports, even after going to the XXXX. My next step is to take them to small claims court. This has been negatively effecting my boyfriend & I 's credit for over a year now. Please help me get this resolved. I have uploaded supporting documents that show these are for cleaning fees, which on the same receipt shows we paid our lease break fee as well as an email from the complex from XX/XX/XXXX stating my account had a XXXX balance. I have also uploaded photos of our unit upon move-out that show it is clean, and has no carpet. Lastly, I have uploaded a screenshot from the property managements reply to my XXXX complaint, lying and stating this is a fee for breaking our lease early.

On XX/XX/2022 I called IQ Data International because I received a collection notice in the mail. The amount was due to moving out of an apartment and the final bill associated with the move out. I did not have the bill from the apartments so I was not able to see the itemized charges/or confirm the amount due. THis ( the collection notice ) was the fist mention of the charges to me. I recently moved ( obviously ) I asked the assigned agent to please provide to because I am unaware of the charges and wanted to know the itemized listing of the charges instead of being told it was " damages and utilities ''. Instead he got upset and proceeded to tell me its too late if I don't agree with the charges because I should have been at move-out inspection to refuse them. And some other stuff if I'm not paying about my willful invasion or something. I let him know I was unaware to be present at move-out to do so as I was told ( by the apartments personnel ) to just leave the keys and a bill will be sent. He said it was in my lease and continued that even if I don't agree with the amounts charged from the apartments it was too late to dispute them. So I said fine but I would still like to know what I am being charged for to make sure I agree with the amount. He refused and said he will not waste his time to do the extra work or get his manager to waste their time to provide itemization of the charges for someone with no intent to pay who will just hang up in the middle of the call. I intended to pay, hence I called. I just wanted to verify the amount being charged to make sure It was no extra fees and that was the actual amount from the original creditor because I've had experience of collectors adding unverified charges to consumer accounts. I thought it was a given right to know that information. So, I just said I will hang up because he was getting upset about something or maybe he was in a bad mood today. I don't know why, its not like I asked him for money. So I called back and was transferred to him again and politely asked to speak to someone else. I waited on hold then decided to hang up and call back because I wanted to get it resolved but also know that the amount is not inflated, especially since they were charging interest on the account. I called and asked to speak to anyone but the case person assigned to my account. They were friendly and I paid the amount because that was the whole point of calling and I didn't want more interest charges. She informed me I could pay and dispute the charge or something but I just wanted to verify the charged amount. I wasn't saying I disagreed or agree with the charge but I only wanted the amount confirmed and itemized so that I could know there were no extra charges in there from the debt collector aside form the interest charges I found out about today. I don't mind paying what I owe. I just want to know that I am paying for what I actually owe and that the charges are all mine. I was not given the opportunity to check.

On XX/XX/2021, my employer received a call on my behalf from IQ Data International, during this phone they stated they were attempting to collect a debt, and explained the alleged debt owed, I explained that I was not sure I owed the debt and even if I did, I wouldnt have the finances to pay it right now. At that point the representative stated if I did not find a way to pay this, he knew where I worked, and could make life very difficult for me as I am in the military, I asked him if he was threatening me and he stated he was just letting me know what he could do. I told him I wanted to work this out, at that point he said hed get someone else on the line. He then transferred the call to his manager. When she got on the phone she started yelling immediately, I told her she was contacting me on a goverment line and needed to contact me on my personal phone from now on, she then stated good now that I know you work in the government I will contact all of your higher ups and keep calling your job until its paid. She then started giving me payment options, at this point I had to return to work so I told them Id call back. At lunch I called back to try to discuss getting a debt validation letter, and he said he couldnt do that but could go over the charges with me and started going through them. I told him I dont have money for this debt and I cant pay it if I dont know I owe it. And he told me I needed to use a family members credit card, or max out my cards, or do whatever it takes to pay this, otherwise hed put this on my credit and it would make life very hard for me. I told him Id need time to figure something out. I later called them back, after consulting with an attorney. And asked XXXX XXXX with IQ, if he could please just send me a debt validation letter. And he began asking me why, said he could go over all the charges with me, said it was wasting time, and asked if I would agree to pay the debt if he sent a letter. I said no because Im unsure I owe the debt, and would like to verify it. At this point he said he was done dealing with me and was sending it to collections so I needed to speak with his manager. She came back on the line and asked why I wanted a debt validation letter, I stated it was because it was my right, and I wanted to make this work but idk if I actually owe it, at this point she started screaming and saying I was stalling, I was being as polite as possible and she just kept yelling about how I wasted her time and she was putting this in my credit immediately and now I wont be able to buy a house and shed make sure my job knew about it. I requested all communications be in writing and through me, and she said no shed be calling them today. I recorded the entire call, and have detailed proof of their threats and refusal to validate the debt and send communications in writing and cease contacting my employer. The file is larger than 10 mb, and will not let me upload, but I am happy to email it.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from IQ data regarding collection matter. The representative XXXX proceeded to inform me of outstanding balance owed to previous property management company XXXX owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I informed XXXX this is first time I hearing about this and it was fraudulent placed upon hearing the items. I had resided at XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I had paid all my bills on time even during XXXX. During my residency I had caught the property manager placing fraudulent charges which would be fixed upon contacting thier law firm. During my stay there was numerous fraudulent practices including trying to raise my rent claiming they did not have lease in file. I provided lease they destroyed along with documentation for carpet and other things they never fixed. At this point it was clear this company that does fraud as business practice to destroying lease documents. I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX and have paid all my rent on time and confirmed it was XXXX balance with staff due to concerns of thier integrity and fraulent businness practice I experienced during my stay. I notified IQ data of this being deliberate fraud and send email documentation of my correspondence with XXXX upon my move out. IQ Data seemed not address the matter and threathend to place negative reports on my credit. I had contacted the Operator and Manager XXXX officer of company from XXXX XXXX and notified her of this being case of fraud and requested her to call me back. After XXXX voicemail she did not return the call or address documentation provided proving falsied debt placed. On XXXX XXXX IQ data placed a negative report on my credit. I have XXXX credit and they dropped below XXXX on a falsified debt they are aware was fraudulent placed. I ask FTC to request IQ data to remove fraudulent collection and look into criminal laws broken regarding fraud on thier client XXXX as well as IQ Data for placing fraudlent collections. This us practice this company is assisting in fraud and helping XXXX extort money from past residents. This is white collar extortion for debt made up with any merit. I attached screenshot of charges the placed. The carpet was very old and was told they would replace it with hardwood like all othe apartments which was never done and than put this frivolous charges together along with tub refinishing for bathroom they were notified of issue going back XX/XX/XXXX which they never properly even fixed. This complex is going through renovations and I was living in unit they did not even change carpet out comparef to all the other units which were hardwood, its blatant fraud when are charging for things which were the responsibility to fix while was tenant. I was promised hardwood due old carpet upon move out and was first thing they had false promised on but than to see it placed fraudlenty as a debt is gross misconduct and fraudulent business practice they are doing.

This is in regards to Complaint Number XXXX. This account is a joint account containing misinformation, inaccurate information and it's attempting to collect upon a debt illegally. On XX/XX/2021, sent a letter disputing the validity of this debt. The response to the letter of dispute was a debt notice letter dated XX/XX/2021. IQ Data International responded without presenting any evidence supporting their claim that I owe this debt. This first correspondence reads like the first notice of debt collection, only sharing the principle balance and including interest fees and not addressing any of the written requests from my initial letter. Both parties within this account have reached out to this company and received the same type of lackluster response. A second letter was sent to again, request further detail information about this debt that's alleged owed to this parties on this account. After not hearing back from IQ Data International within the legal 30 day time frame, a letter was sent out XX/XX/2021. This letter detailed the lack of timely correspondence between IQ Data International and the parties on this account, also detailed the FDCPA and FCRA violations. Three days later there were letters received dated XX/XX/2021 but postmarked XX/XX/2021. These letters deceptively try to pass off as " validation of debt '' requested XX/XX/2021. Two months later, these letters have attached itemized charge lists with inaccurate information and fraudulent, double charges with no description or photos attached. There is no written agreement, contract or signed notice verifying this debt. All of these unlawful practices has caused detriment to the documentation of the correspondence with this company while in pursuit of rectifying this matter. It has also created consumer distrust in this company and their permissible purpose to collect debt. I have no knowledge of this account, the alleged fees or the claims made that I owe this debt. This company continues to accrue interest and frequently reports this misinformation to the National Credit Bureaus. Everything aforementioned are clear FDCPA violations. To be clear, I have not entered a contract with this agency for collection of any debt they claim I owe or the illegal interest accrual, late charges or anything else they claim is owed nor do I accept ownership of this account and charges listed. Each instance of this process has been documented since XX/XX/2021 and the deceptive practices this company continues to take part in such as misrepresentation, illegal collection of debt and interest fees, failure to validate/verify legal debt and failure to comply with federal and state laws. They have added over $ 300+ in interest and have refused to provide any proof showing their right to collect this debt or oversee this account with my personal information.

This statement is to dispute the collection balance of {$1500.00} from IQ Data International/XXXX XXXX XXXX AZ reported to the credit bureaus, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Myself, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX signed a lease to move into an apartment with XXXX XXXX XXXX AZ on XX/XX/XXXX and were due to take possession of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. The apartment was under construction and we received notice that occupancy was delayed and that the apartment should be ready for move-in on the evening of Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX ( after office hours ). When my friends and I went to start moving in on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX, the apartment was clearly still not ready for move-in. There were dust and floor-board trimmings everywhere and open exposed wiring. I submitted a written notice of cancellation according to the terms of the contract, and the group acknowledged receiving the notice the following Monday. I never lived in this complex and that is why there is no history of monthly rent or listed address for this property on my credit report. In addition, I paid an upfront security deposit of {$1800.00} to the company which was never refunded, per the terms of the lease contract. I am attaching the 3rd page of my signed lease, which states that I may terminate the lease up until the time the apartment is ready for occupancy ( see section 15 ). I am also attaching my written notice of cancellation with photos of the apartment from XX/XX/XXXX. Lastly, I am attaching a signed and dated letter from my friend showing I occupied his home rent-free from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, when I initiated a new lease with XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AZ XXXX XXXX and an insurance document billed to the XXXX XXXX address during the time frame XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed I was living in their apartment. I am shocked to see this collection come up on my credit report a year and a half after this event, and I am not exactly sure what it is for. I have no history of late payments on any of my credit accounts because I am highly accountable and take my credit obligations extremely seriously. I never received a billing notice from the property management company. I wrote the debt collection agency and called them multiple times to request an explanation and can not get a response. The process of trying to move-in and then cancelling with XXXX XXXX XXXX AZ was extremely stressful and now they've damaged my credit score and I feel helpless. I wish I had researched this group sooner because I found a lot of negative remarks about them online after my bad experience, and it looks like they have already been sued more than once. I am also attaching a letter sent to the debt collector requesting an explanation for this charge, which they did not respond to.

Back in XXXX of 2020 I had my son via csection I went back to work early even after my doctor advised staying out longer to heal and I declined due to bills needing to be paid on time. I had a great paying job and never had issues with paying anything on time until XXXX of 2020 ; a terrible pandemic happened. A week into returning to work I received a phone call with having a 6 week old stating my job was being shutdown due to 5 people contracting COVID and I was exposed to those people so the entire restaurant had to be shutdown until further notice. I still kept on with paying my bills on time without any income coming in being grateful for the savings account I had. Time ran its course and I couldnt return to work until mid XXXX when I received a phone call stating I am able to return to work ; because of this in return bills started piling up. I contacted the leasing manager for Maple Leaf Apartments ( XXXX XXXX ) via phone call which they state all calls are monitored and recorded of my then apartment complex letting him know Ive exhausted all my resources and I asked would there be any penalties for breaking my lease to move in with family to get back on my feet with an infant and daycare also being shut down due to COVID at this point all my bills were current. Rent wasnt late, never have been. I reached out before it got bad for me financially because I still had to provide for my infant. I was verbally told by XXXX XXXX that there were no penalties and that our rent was paid for that month and we would be free to go. I asked several time and he assured me that there were no penalties for having to break my lease during such a terrifying time. Apparently that was false because a debt collection hit my credit which I wasnt notified about til XXXX of 2020 by IQ Data International and that was by me using XXXX to find out where this was coming from. They have called several times aggressively after I was trying to find out information on why I was being told I have to pay {$3000.00} without an explanation Ive tried to get them to explain to me what was going on because I was extremely confused which has gotten me nowhere. After every call they never sent out a letter to me within 30 days or even at all. I have a video still of that specific apartment with the date to prove there was absolutely nothing wrong with the property and I still have no answers after speaking with them just trying to force me to pay and be extremely rude with inaccuracies regarding the property that I only lived in for 6 months. Please help me. Ive tried to upload the video for proof of the property being in perfect shape but the video is a little over 2 minutes long so the file is too big. If there is another way to send over this video because it is important I have no problem doing so.

The first phone call I had with I.Q Data International Inc. was a year and a half ago horrible experience. The lady got so rude because I wanted to make payment arrangements because I couldnt pay the full amount of {$540.00} and she wanted the full amount paid. Claiming I had enough money to pay according to her calculations because she knew what my monthly expenses were. She was demanding repeatedly I pay with my credit card I told her I wasnt going to do that and since I wasnt getting anywhere with her I hung up. Months later I got on the phone with them again and this time it was a man and the same thing happened and once again I hung up the phone. I thought this can not be the way they treat people so I called again same situation asked to speak to someone else and it just got worse and so I hung up the phone again. In XX/XX/2022 I got a letter the amount is now {$620.00} the letter says I can settle by up to 30 % if I pay by XX/XX/2022 so I called today ( XX/XX/2022 ) I told the man that answered I got a letter saying I could settle the account for 30 % he says you can do that or you can pay the full amount and have it removed from your credit? I said no I want to settle he says I have to see if you qualify for hardship ( no where in the letter it says that I have to qualify and get approved for that 30 % ) he went on to ask me how much was my rent, car payment, monthly credit card bill, and if I got a personal loan I said yes, he also asked if I was collecting unemployment I said no. Told me to hold on he came back on the line and asked again if I wanted to pay the full amount and have it removed from my credit told him again no, then he says its {$520.00} told him I couldnt pay that then his tone of voice change asked me how much I could pay, I said {$200.00} and he got more aggressive and loud saying thats not even 30 %? 30 % is like {$400.00}? this is why you dont qualify for hardship because you refuse to pay. Pay with your credit card and be done with it I said no Im not using my credit card. He says you got a personal loan why didnt you pay it? I said I had to use the money for something else ( got this loan a few months after COVID started to pay rent because I was unemployed and my husband work was very slow ) and he says in a very harsh voice Im not here to hear your excuses! At this point I had enough and hung up the phone. I have made several attempts to pay them but instead they get so aggressive, rude, demanding, trying to intimidate me by the way they talk because they want to force me to pay the full amount with my credit card. They sent a letter and dont want to honor what they say. The letter says to call in order to secure the offers instead they get you to try to pay the full amount and if you disagree they insult you in anyway they can.

I asked for verification of debt and was sent a ledger that was not the same as my move-out statement. The ledger has various charges that are confusing to figure out because payments received were not credited or placed in the right column and subtracted from the initial balance. I am being charged for an eviction that was dismissed in court. I am being charged for late fees that can not be accessed to me because Section 8 federal housing was paying the full rent so any late fees would have to be directed to them. I am only receiving partial credit for my rent even though since XXXX acquired the property my rent has always been the same amount. They are only given my credit for {$310.00} of my security deposit but from their own records if they are correct I paid {$620.00} dollars which would more than pay the debt in question and I would be entitled to a refund which was not provided when I moved out. I am also being charged for rent after I was completely moved out. Same on the move-out ledger, payments are not placed in the payment column and are not subtracted from the outstanding balance. Which makes understanding it confusing. After my attorney reached out to section 8 he informed me to contact I.Q. Data International Inc for an updated ledger. I sent a demand letter asking for the ledger to be updated based on the information I sent them. I sent my lease, move-out statement, vacate notice, XXXX contract and payment ledger, info on five-day pay and eviction procedures according to The Housing Authority, five-day notice , and court proceeding that was not provided to Housing Authority ( section 8 ) . The demand letter and supporting documentation was received on XX/XX/2023, and picked up by an individual at the post office at XXXX XXXX per the post office XXXX XXXX. I have heard nothing back from XXXX or I. Q. Data Inc. I have enclosed the closing letter from the attorney that represented me in court and the demand letter they sent to section 8 asking for them to pay the late fees that XXXX on XXXX claims I owe. Section 8 provided proof to my attorney that all late charges were reversed and is shown on the ledger that was sent as verification of debt to me but it is still on my credit report. I enclosed the demand letter asking for a new ledger or for the information to be corrected from XXXX and I.Q. Data Inc, I enclosed the ledger sent to me and the move-out ledger which is not the same and does not reflect the correct charges. I am asking for a new ledger and if I owe anything for that to be reflected on the updated ledger and on my credit report. For all correspondings to be in writing. Or for this to be taken off my credit report and for them to stop trying to charge me for things I do not owe, also in writing.

I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2022 and submitted my notice in writing to move out by the end of XXXX. In that written notice I requested a copy of the move out charges be mailed to my new address which I also included in the letter. I never received anything. On XX/XX/XXXX, I get a message at my job to call back a man named XXXX. I call back and its a debt collector with IQ Data demanding I pay the balance in full immediately. I explained to XXXX I had every intention of paying for what I owe but I had not received a breakdown of what I was being charged for. I explained that I was told I wouldnt be charged for certain things and I needed to know that I wasnt paying for something I dont owe. I also need to know how my security deposit was applied. XXXX claimed he was going to email me this exact information then tried to pressure me into paying before I could see this email. I asked why I wasnt able to dispute the debt and he responded by saying I could only dispute it if I paid for it. I know this to be a violation is section 809d of the FDCPA, so I demanded I be able to check my email and review the information before I called back and paid. XXXX proceeded to tell me that if I did not pay before seeing this proof he would mark the account as a refusal to pay and take the further action. I explained that I knew my rights and would be calling back as soon I I reviewed the email. What I received was a list of charges all described as move out charges and nothing showed my security deposit was applied toward the balance. So I called back and complained to a manager. She also tried to mislead me into thinking I did not have the right to dispute until I brought up the CFPB. Then she explained that I would need to submit my dispute in writing though she did say an email would suffice. I immediately emailed the dispute to the address she gave me, explaining that I need more than a generic list of unspecified charges including a breakdown of how my security deposit was applied. On XX/XX/XXXX they finally mailed me the exact same proof they had emailed me in XXXX. I sent a follow up email explaining, the documentation they sent was not sufficient and I reiterated what information would be necessary to properly validate the debt. I have not received a response but I did just get an alert that the collection account has hit my credit. I dont need credit for anything, however I was not given the opportunity to pay what I legitimately owe before they reported it. I have been forthcoming about my intentions and due to the unethical and illegal practices of IQ data I have suffered stress and financial repercussions that should have been avoided had they respected my rights as a consumer.

I have disputed this on more then one attempt and CFPB closed account without investigating my complaint against IQ Data international false claims. CFPB states that A debt collector may not collect any interest or fee not authorized by the agreement or by law. The interest rate or fees charged on your debt may be increased if your original loan or credit agreement permits it and no law prohibits the increase, or if state law expressly permits the interest or fee. I have argued this fact in my previous statement and nothing has been done about this false claims by this debt collector. I have not agreed nor signed anything agreeing to a third party interest or any kind. IQ Data international states in this letter stating under the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX Iowa XXXX, IA XXXX Re : Complaint of XXXX XXXX Case Number : XXXX and XXXX Internal Reference : XXXX We have received your dispute letters of XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, in which you dispute the interest charges on your account in our office. We collect amounts owed to rental properties, and our records reflect your account was placed with our agency on XX/XX/XXXX, to collect {$640.00} owed to our client, XXXX XXXX. Initial notification, with instructions to dispute or make payment, was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX to the addresses submitted by our client which was unfortunately returned as undeliverable. Our office again mailed notification to your updated address on XX/XX/XXXX. Our office disagrees with your assessment regarding charging interest. Your account is accruing interest of 7.00 % per annum as allowable by law. This interest rate was disclosed in your initial notification. Under what Law is this allowed under Fair Credit Act? Under the 807. False or misleading representations. A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The collection of any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. IQ Data has been sued for this same Tactic more then XXXX times. I request this company provide proof they are entitled to this false claim stating I agreed to this debt or even signed any agreement stating I agreed to a third party interest fee. CFPB failed to investigate this false claim and I have been asked by my legal counsel to try again. If this complaint can't be resolved I will be moving towards legal matters suing both CFPB an IQ data international

I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX in regards to a debt collection in my account in which I had disputed. I explained to the representative that I have a security freeze on my account in which I had on there since XX/XX/XXXX. So I was confused how someone was able to gain access to my credit report without me removing the freeze. The rep explained that because I had a fraud alert in my report he had to transfer me to the fraud department. After being transferred I explained the same situation to the new rep. He then explained to me that they do not validate debt and I quote these were his words. I then repeated what he said and he said yes. We dont get any contracts or anything elses from the creditor saying that the debt is valid. He said all we do is ask the creditor if the debt they listed is valid and if they say yes we inform you that the debt has been validated. I then expressed my disbelief and asked how would they know that the debt even belong to me. I also expressed that it was impossible for it to be mine as I had no dealings with this company before that was reporting the debt and that the debt being reported was from XX/XX/XXXX in which I had not open any accounts with anyone during that time. I also advised that I have a security freeze on my report. He then says well let me validate who you are so that I can access your report. I give him my Information and then he says he needs to ask a series of questions. He starts to ask questions that I am unfamiliar with as I have no association to any of the questions asked. He then claims he cant validate who I am and that I need to hang up and call back to speak to someone else to get new questions. Well I never called back and submitted a dispute in writing with a certified attached. Im saying this to say that XXXX has unfair dispute practices that allows creditors to put negative collections on your report without having to provide documentation that the debt belongs to you. XXXX at this very moment is costing me financial hardship and continues to do so after allowing XXXX XXXX to open credit in my name during a time that a fraud alert was put on my credit report. XXXX removed the XXXX account but later allowed XXXX XXXXXXXX a collection agency put the same account on my report and claimed it was valid after I disputed it citing that the account was sold to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Please dont allow XXXX to do this to anyone else and allow there reputation and credit to be harmed because they lack the dignity to verify collections before putting them on credit reports. I am requesting XXXX deletes accounts from XXXX XXXX that were sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX and any other agency as well as these accounts from IQ international.

In XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert on my credit report showing delinquent accounts that had been given to a collection agency. This had happened to me previously, 2 years prior and similarly, I had no knowledge or consent given regarding the accounts and with deeper inquiry had found inaccurate addresses listed in my personal info on my credit report as well. The accounts were quickly verified as fraud and I had my credit report updated to remove the incorrect Georgia addresses as well as a fraud alert statement added and then my credit frozen with all 3 bureaus ; this was completed in XXXX and neither the alert nor credit freezes had been removed when I received notice of these new " delinquent accounts '' in XXXX of this year. I reached out to the collection agency, IQ Data International using the information listed on my credit report and was told that they would mail me a fraud packet regarding the fraudulent activity from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( GA ). When I hadn't received this packet within the week, I called back for an update and was told it had already been sent, but since I had been told by their agents that I would only have 10 days to dispute the charges, I requested a second packet be sent. In the meantime, I sent my own packet to the collection agency with my ID Theft Report, a notice to furnishers, and my government issued ID on XX/XX/XXXX. I received from them 3 days later a letter informing me of the debt they were holding me accountable for, and at that time I mailed them back their requested copy of a police report, proof of residency ( I have never lived in GA and have been at my current residence for XXXX years ), and my government ID. On XX/XX/XXXX I received the initial packet back in the mail as undeliverable, so I called the collection agency to check for updates. They confirmed they had received my response to their letter and said they had reached out to the supervisor at the apartment complex. I have been unable to find valid information online for the apartment company listed as the initial account, and the number I did find was someone's personal phone line ( they hung up on me when I asked questions ). I asked the IQ Data agent if they were able to also give me the address for the complex so that I could send them notice of my identity theft and they quite aggressively told me they would not do that and that I could wait a week and call them back to see what they decided and then they ended the call. I called back immediately and asked an agent for a good mailing address to send in additional documentation ( the packet that had previously been returned as undeliverable ) and was given an email address that I used to send over that initial packet.

In XX/XX/2020, I entered into an agreement with my apartment management, XXXX, to defer partial rent. I requested to be let out of my lease early multiple times ( 60 days early, 45 days early ) any time that would save me money and avoid being in debt. They continuously refused but set up a seperate payment plan for me to pay over the course of the summer. My lease ended on XX/XX/XXXX. Within 1 week of vacating my unit on XX/XX/XXXX, I was turned into IQ Data International, Inc for collections of debt owed in the amount of {$4600.00}. Not only was this a violation of our agreement, but this amount was incorrect. The amount owed was {$2800.00}. I contacted IQ Data and the property management immediately to discuss the charges and get them corrected. For almost month, I emailed the property management with little to no response. Finally the property manager acknowledged the mistake and sent a new ledger to IQ Data. This ledger continued to be incorrect. Having to fight for the right amount to be reported to the collections agency basically blew through any grace period that I had. According to IQ Data, I had a 45 day grace period which ended on XX/XX/XXXX, which means that they turned my balance into collections the day after I vacated the property. No final bill was sent my forwarding address. No attempt by management was made to collect debt. It was literally turned into collections the day after my lease ended. I attempted to get the correct amount updated upon receiving my first collections letter. I emailed and called both parties to correct the amount. I copied the property manager, the regional manager, the Vice President and the dispute team. None of which replied. On the last day of my grace period, I had to physically show up at my former property manager 's office and make her correct the mistake as she would not acknowledge any of my electronic communication. This is a pattern from this management company and I know of at least one other tenant in the same position. Mind you, we are in the middle of a pandemic. I work in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, SC which is heavily dependant on tourism. Our business took an epic hit and I am lucky to be employed at all. I am trying diligently to stay on top of finances but with horrible business practices such as XXXX, it is nearly impossible for someone like me to come out on top. This was a very disappointing turn of events in a already troublesome year. I paid this property over $ XXXX in an 18 month period. My apartment was well above market value and I was NEVER late until COVID. Even when COVID happened I tried to negotiate to avoid being in this situation that I now find myself.

Today XX/XX/XXXX I receiveda debt collection notice in the mail from I.Q. Data International , Inc. for a debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$190.00}. When I called I.Q. Data International explained that the {$190.00} is due for cable and utilities from XXXX. Since I never receiveda bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$190.00}, and in fact only ever received a bill on XX/XX/XXXX for {$110.00} for the same period of time ( XXXX ), I told the representatives at I.Q. Data International , Inc. that I would like to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX to understand 1 ) why I never received a bill for the alleged {$190.00} that is now in collections and 2 ) why I am being billed for the same period multiple times. 2 different representatives at I.Q. Data International , Inc., first a male and then a female, threatened that if I did not immediately pay or give them my employment information they would report the debt to the credit bureau and damage my credit. After explaining to the male representative that I had no problem paying for a bill that was due, but first wanted to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX to get a copy of the bill since I never received it, he told me that if I did not provide my employment information before hanging up he would report me as refusing to make payment. I specifically stated that since it was a recorded line I would like to state that I had full intent to make the payment, however, I wanted to speak to XXXX XXXX XXXX to receive a copy of the bill first. I was then put on hold and a very aggressive female took my call next. She was extremely rude, would not let me speak or ask questions, and again threatened that my credit would be damaged if I did not pay immediately over the phone. When asked for a breakdown of the itemized charges on the bill she spoke very fast and even after asking her to slow down because I was writting down the information she did not. I was not able to get an understanding of what was due since she would not slow down. She then tried to state that I should hang up the phone so that she could close my file and have it sent to the credit bureau. Again on a recorded line I stated that I had no intention to hang up the phone and asked her what my options were. She was not very clear but said I could hang up or she could close my file. I said thank you, and she said goodbye but she did not hang up the phone. I did not hang up either because I thought she may still be trying to " make me '' hang up the phone. I remained silent on the line until she hung up. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask for a copy of the bill that is now in collections, and why I am being billed multiple times for the same period.

I would like to file this complaint on I.Q Data International due to lack of verifying this debt, proof also lack of support in this tedious matter. I feel violated, compromised and devalued as a consumer. I was attempting to start the home buying process but after review of my credit report of a collection from my previous place of residency I was denied assistance due to being told this was reporting as an eviction in which I fulfilled my lease agreement so I knew that was untrue. I was very shocked with all sorts of confusion. I spoke with the collections agency after receiving a notice to verify as to why I received a letter. I informed the debt collector in XXXX to validate the debt but no information was given regarding the amount due of {$1100.00}. Even disputed this fraudulent charge due to leaving the apartment spotless so I had no clue why this was happening but no follow up from the dispute regarding. I then attempted to relocate the following year by renting another home but was denied due to the same account reporting negatively with a higher account balance which from what Ive read, once an account has been sold to a collection agency it can not have a past due balance as a collection is past due by default. However, on XX/XX/XXXX I called debt collector again after receiving another notice and asked again to please validate the debt. I was told by the agent the charge was for damage. At this point, I was really puzzled but continually advised there was no damage on my part. There was never a court date for this issue which shouldve transpired if this was so, pictures also a verification letter confirming details of the debt and once again the company has failed to show proof. Besides this situation, Ive never had any issues with a landlord and Im a really great tenant who takes care of any residence in which I reside and theres never much of anything to be done to accommodate the next tenant. This fraudulent charge reporting from this account isnt correctly reflecting the person I am nor does it accurately show my actual credit worthiness or trustworthiness as a tenant. In addition, this negative line on my credit is preventing me from purchasing my first home, a place where my children can permanently live also make new memories and I just want this nightmare to be over just to eliminate this account from my record. I would like to stress that the negative information being reported is totally inaccurate and fraudulent. I am simply asking that this account is thoroughly investigated because of the circumstances in which this has occurred with no validation of this debt.

I received a letter stating I was sent to collections for rent due in XXXX & XXXX of XXXX at XXXX XXXX. This is incorrect information, I did not live at XXXX XXXX after the end of my lease in XXXX of XXXX. The debt that was sent to collections isnt mine nor did I sign a lease for those dates. The management company has been unable to produce my lease from XXXX or the lease from XXXX. They cant not find it and it is assumed to be lost. I called IQ Data and spoke with a man who was deeming, respectful, and just plain difficult. He gave me false information stating my letter was returned to sender when I tried to get more information on what was returned to sender he just kept repeating the letter was returned to sender. I asked him if he received my dispute letter to the po box and he replied I dont check the mail, thats not my job. He would not explain or help assist me in anyway. I called back a few days later and spoke with another man who was EXTREMELY helpful and restored my faith in this company. He walked me through the process, explained my options, explained what was returned to sender ( the letter they sent back to me, not my dispute letter ), and stated the collection agency is also trying to get the lease from the management company, which they have still not provided to them either. He was honest, kind, and so helpful. I then spoke with the management company who said she can not find the lease anywhere and stated I would not be on the second lease because I had signed another lease with another company and had I been on the second lease at XXXX XXXX they would not have leased me another apartment. I agreed. She said she would write me a letter stating it can not be found. I then called IQ Data back and begged the first person on the line to NOT send me to the same person as the first time. They could not and sent me back to XXXX and it was round 2 of this man being extremely unhelpful and difficult. I asked where should she send the letter to and he just stated they have all our information that they need. I asked what I need to do and he just repeated send in a dispute letter over and over and over again like last time. I replied I have already sent the letter and you confirmed you received it why would I need to send another? He just repeated what he had said before. This man was infuriating and extremely upsetting. I understand debt collections isnt customer service but at least the 2nd gentleman I talked to helped me out and explained stuff to me. He was so much kinder and helpful than this XXXX. This debt is false information and I dont know what to do next.

Hi, I received a collection call today from XXXX ( IQ Data Inc ) regarding a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It's totally unacceptable because first of all, I lived there for more than six years ago and I'm pretty sure that I don't owe them anything. I remember that 30 days after I left and noticed that didn't receive my deposit back, I only received by mail a letter with absurd amounts related to replacing the carpet and minor repairs to the wall. When I emailed them using their ( Contact Us form on community 's Marketing Website section ), I questioned why the prices were so high, so that time a XXXX representative ( XXXX XXXX - XXXX ) was replying all my emails and one of the emails she was apologizing in regards the wrong estimate that I received by mail to replace the carpet and to fix minor wall repairs, so she came to the conclusion of a completely different and lower amount than the one that I had received in the mail. Finally, I was informed by her on XX/XX/2015, XXXX XXXX, that the final amount would be {$320.00} ( they already got my deposit that time and never gave me back ). My deposit was suppose to cover for all the repairs that they mentioned but they decided to over charged me that time and charge an extra amount ( the one mentioned here ) to replace the carpet and minor wall repairs. Lastly, I agreed immidiatelly about the final amount ( extra amount ) and asked her how should I make the final payment, once they said my deposit will not cover for all this expenses. On XX/XX/2015 at XXXX XXXX, I also informed her that I would be going there that day to drop the payment that was agreed between us by email. I was reading my emails again now with her and I noticed that I mentioned to her that I will drop-off a money order and not a check. I just called XXXX XXXX ( the company that I purchase 99.99 % of my money orders ) and they said that I need to request by mail a " Money Order Research, but it could take 6 to 8 weeks to send me back the results and we cant wait all this time. This is not fair because Im pretty sure they lost my money order that time based on the call that I received today. I don't understand how a company like XXXX XXXX XXXX does not have a copy of my payment anywhere there. I will fight to proof my innocence because I know this was paid on XX/XX/2015 when I dropped the money order there that day. Im going to also file a dispute now on ( https : //www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/ ) about this. I just tried to contact XXXX XXXX by phone and e-mail but her email is not working and I couldnt find her by phone as well.

On my birthday XX/XX/XXXX I received the first phone call from IQ Data International located in XXXX, XXXX where I had lived until XX/XX/XXXX. I was informed they were collecting a debt for about {$190.00} for XXXX XXXX XXXX where I had lived until last XXXX. They told me this company had sent me a letter advising me of the charges around XX/XX/XXXX but I never received any such letter at the forwarding address I had given with my notice to vacate. Plus, I dispute the charges. The charges are for {$88.00} in back rent and {$100.00} for cleaning. I was given what I owed when I gave my 30-day notice to vacate and that is what I paid and I moved out on time and returned all keys. I cleaned my apartment and the manager refused to do a walk through inspection even though I made myself available on two days. This collection agency states it said in my lease I would still be charged for cleaning which the complex does before reletting the apartment. I told them my lease only stated cleaning charges would be charged only if I had not cleaned my apartment. Any professional cleaning they decide to do later is on them. In addition, IQ Data International never sent me any written notification of this debt. They kept calling and threatened to ruin my credit. I asked for written notification of this debt over ten days ago and still have not received it. When I requested written notice of this debt they had to update my address in their system as provided to them from XXXX XXXX. XXXX had given their mailing address as my address to IQ Data! So, in essence they never sent me any writing about those charges. I contacted the property management XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX and spoke with a XXXX about 3 times. The first two times she said she would provide my dispute to the regional manager there in her office and I would be called back. I never got a call. On my third call to XXXX she told me the regional manager had not provided a response and the charges still showed on my account. This all happened over a week 's time. I sent an email to the manager, a XXXX XXXX, at XXXX that showed I had filed a complaint with the Oklahoma Attorney General. She gave the usual excuse for not doing anything and that is that management there has changed since I vacated my apartment and that I could easily dispute the charges with the debt collector. Well, no. One can not easily dispute charges with IQ Data International. I did send a copy of my notice to vacate to the email address IQ Data gave me to dispute the charges. That was on XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received any reply on that either.

I had my mother on the phone as well because she had planned to help me with a payment, on this call we learned I had been given misinformation by XXXX the day before so now I needed to discuss with my mother privately because we didnt have the funds for what they were asking. XXXX then harassed us for several minutes about a settlement instead before we disconnected with a plan to speak again at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX twice at this agreed time and was met with no answer, but I was told if I missed incoming calls from them, I would have further action taken against me. I left a voicemail with the thought that maybe he was tied up in something for a minute ; I received no calls for another hour and 15 minutes so I called again at XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX did answer this call and I informed him that I would no longer be pursuing any settlement or deletion, I no longer give my permission to administer the payment set up, and the only thing I would like to discuss was getting a validation letter of this debt, in writing sent to my current address. XXXX then began to berate me as to why I changed my mind, what my mother and I talked about, insisting I shouldnt do this, trying to give me more settlement offers, and going as far as waving down another representative to help berate me ; all while I was repeatedly asking him to stop, told I didnt want to discuss further details of my private conversations or why I was making any decision and repeated what I asked for. The other representative was XXXX XXXX, once he came on the line he began the same speech that XXXX had and then insisted I was letting my mother make my decisions for me, that I was unaware of the decisions I was making and unaware of what the correct decisions were, that I was ruining my credit, that I needed financial counseling, insisting I needed to listen to him and his advice, as well as talking over me constantly, telling me they had to request a letter of validation and wait for that to be approved so I should just mail them a request for specific information ( which I can do, but legally they have to provide me with a validation letter of the debt ), also called me childish and unprofessional for not listening to him and asking him to stop, and then hung up on me. I also have a recording of this conversation due to the first interaction this morning and I see no issue since they informed me they were recording as well.

I have a collection with this company that dates from XXXX, from a broken lease with the apartment complex. Upon moving from this complex, I did not receive a move out statement. Regardless, this went into collections with IQ international Data. I have called a couple of times to discuss this debt, however, each time I have been told that I am being charged interest on the debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with an agent who explained to me that I am being charge a 6 % fee per annum. She read out the move out statement. I asked for this to be sent to me. I also questioned the interest being charged as I have never heard of something like this, and it just did not " seem right '' when I did not sign anything which made me aware of this interest, nor is this anything normal in tenant practice and was not within the lease agreement. The agent informed me that she was not sure as she is not from Texas. I understood, but asked to be sent some sort of proof of contract stating that I was aware of the interest being charged. She stated she does not have any contract stating such. I informed the agent I would have to contact someone regarding this issue as I never signed a contract agreeing to such things. I believe that the interest being charged is a violation of Texas Finance Code 392.303. which states that a debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means that employ collecting or attempting to collect interest or a charge, fee or expense incidental to the obligation unless the interest or incidental charge, fee or expense is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the obligation or legally chargeable to the consumer. The company is unable to produce a signed contract which would prove that was made aware of such interest being charged to any balance owed to the original debtor if the term of the contract was not honored. Since they are not able to produce such proof, I am inclined to question where they are gathering that they have the legal right to charge such interest on a debt that is owed and has been placed into collections. In addition, I question if they have the legal right to charge on this debt until the amount is paid. This debt was not given as a " credit '' nor was I made aware upon contract signature of any interest being owed under the tenant contract. I am inclined to believe that the company is illegally charging interest without cause or justification and are reporting it on my credit monthly in order to coax me into paying for the debt. The amount being owed on my credit is not the original charge off amount.

I used to live at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, California. I noticed that the lease that was available on XXXX, the website that this company uses to sign leases, was signed several days after I moved in. I know that I did not sign this lease as I signed a lease prior to moving in and the lease available online is not the same lease as the one that I did sign. The IP address associated with my signature and my cosigner 's signature matches the IP address of XXXX XXXX, who works at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are now saying the I violated this lease after moving out and saying the I owe {$20000.00}, even though I did not sign this lease. They have reported this to IQ data International, a collections agency, which is now requesting that I pay them {$22000.00}. I never signed this lease, my signature was forged on this lease by XXXX XXXX, therefore, I am not responsible for paying this amount. I have also sent a letter disputing this debt to IQ data international, I still have not received any response or documents from IQ Data International that validate this debt. To prove that I did not sign this lease, I have attached the lease that is available on on-site.com, that includes my forged signature ( XXXX ), so you can see the IP address of the signatures. I have also attached a summary of a form signed through XXXX ( Summary.pdf ) that has my IP address, my cosigner 's IP address, and XXXX XXXX 's IP address listed. You can compare the two documents and see that XXXX XXXX 's IP Address matches the IP address used to forge my signature and my cosigner 's signature. While my IP address and my cosigner 's IP address are not found anywhere on this lease. In addition to that, the lease with my forged signature was signed on XX/XX/2020. I, however, moved in on XX/XX/2020 and I had signed the lease prior to moving in. You can see in the third document that I have attached ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), the email I received from XXXX XXXX, confirming that the original lease that I signed was signed by all parties and completed on XX/XX/2020, 2 days before my signature was forged onto to this new lease. Furthermore, I am unable to obtain a copy of the original lease that I did sign prior to moving in, since the original lease was removed from XXXX and replaced with this new lease that I did not sign. XXXX has access to this lease and will need to be contacted to retrieve a copy, they have refused to send me a copy, therefore, I am unable to provide a copy.

On about XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I left XXXX XXXX apartments in XXXX Wa. On about XXXX XXXX I received a bill for approximately XXXX dollars for final move out expenses. I paid this amount in full on the apartments online payment portal on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. On approximately XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from IQ data, a debt collection agency, that I had an outstanding debt of XXXX dollars, and with their processing fees the owed amount was XXXX. The call seemed to be a scam, and I was confident the bill was paid so I told the caller I would not pay the amount until I did some research and reached out to the apartment company to validate that the debt was not paid. The caller immediately shifted to high pressure tactics and threatened action on my credit report if I did not pay. I told them I would not pay until I resolved it with the apartment. I then called the apartment and determined a debt had been sent to collection, however the apartment employee did not have access to my account, so was unable to access any of my online portal payments. The next day the collection agency called me and again pressured me that if I did not pay my credit score may be adversely impacted and pushed further on high pressure tactics. I was confident that the agency was not a scammer and the caller told me that I could pay the amount under a dispute, where the agency was required to follow up with resolution on my dispute. I payed under protest with the intention if the debt was reported incorrectly I would dispute it with reasonable resolution. On the XXXX of XXXX, XXXX XXXX was able to access my file, and through my banking statements I was able to cite the day I payed the XXXX dollar bill and they were able to prove I payed the bill on the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX and they incorrectly contracted my paid debt. They emailed me and IQ data the XXXX balance receipt and reported that I was paid up. After a month, and reaching out to IQ data on a status, I received no follow up and called IQ data to get status on my dispute. The operator was rude, indignant, disrespectful and refused to give me any status on my claim or point me to any direction on how to resolve the issue. His approach was similar in bullying high pressure tactics used to collect the debt. I have objective evidence the debt was paid properly and never should have gone to collections. Additionally I have email correspondence from XXXX XXXX to me and IQ data stating this. I have email correspondence of me reaching out to IQ data for follow up with no reply.

I submitted a complaint already and the company responded by telling me Im wrong and that the apartment was left beyond reasonable repair. I have emails from when we moved into the apartment stating the apartment was not clean at all and that the blinds were already broken. Ive already explained the carpet situation, they needed to be replaced because of damage done by the apartment maintenance people, they were already replacing the carpets and painting because they were renovating all apartments. We did not do any damage to that apartment and left it just like we found it. The trash they claim was left there was one bag that the office itself told us was okay to leave up there as the apartment trash bins were overflowing. And as for contacting the apartment, I have made many attempts to reach them and have the manager phone number. She never answers the phone and never calls me back even though Ive left several upon several messages. My roommate and I moved into the apartments at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX in XX/XX/2019. The apartment was not clean when we moved in, and we had not been allowed to see our apartment before the move in date. We told the office and they insisted it had been cleaned so we had to clean it ourselves. We had many issues with them over the year we lived there including AC and power going out multiple times. AC was out for two weeks once, we couldnt stay at the apartment because it was over 90 degrees outside. They put fan units in to try to keep it cool and these fans leaked out water all over the carpet causing damage. We decided not to renew our lease and expected our full deposit back because we left it much cleaner than wed found it, no damage other than to the carpet that was caused by their fans. Not only did we not get any deposit back, they charged us {$400.00} claiming they had to replace carpet. They are the ones that caused the damage to the carpet, and also they were remodeling all apartments and taking out the carpet anyway. They charged us for the remodeling they were doing, we did not leave any damage to that apartment. I have called their office and their management multiple times over this last year. Ive left message after message and no one has returned my call. Now I have this charge on my credit that I dont deserve. They still owe us our deposit. They took our deposit and charged us more money on top of it when we left zero damage to the apartment. I cant afford a lawyer and have no idea what to do about this situation.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Tx informing her of the incorrect amount of debt XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX charged me. The misinformed document stated that I owed them for " Replacement Keys '' in the amount of {$100.00}. The referred keys were actually left in the kitchen drawer ( near the refrigerator ) the night I vacated my apartment ( Unit XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX per XXXX XXXX XXXX request. I informed earlier that day on XX/XX/XXXX that I would be moving out after office hours, so how should I go about returning my keys. That is when she informed me that I should just leave them in a drawer and take a photo of said keys and email it to her for proof. I did exactly what she asked of me. I then, reached out to her the next day informing her about a gate key that I had forgotten to turn in. She then asked me if I could mail it or turn it in. I drove to the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and returned the gate key to a lady sitting at the desk. I emailed and let her know that I had returned the key, her response was " Thank you so much ". So, once I received the statement for " replacement keys '' from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was confused and that's when I reached out via email on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX when I never received a response on XX/XX/XXXX. I then tried calling, no answer so I left a voicemail. No returned phone call from the voicemail either. That week, I called a few times throughout the day and FINALLY got someone to answer the phone. I explained the situation to the lady who answered, and also informed her that a debt collection company ( I.Q Data International XXXX Inc. ) had been reaching out to me via mail ( it was only mail at the time ) regarding the incorrect amount owed that was stated by them. She then told me that they were super busy and it would take XXXX until the end of the week to read the email for proof in order to correct the amount. The end of the week would've been XX/XX/XXXX. I received no call back, no email, no correction. I reached out again XX/XX/XXXX and was told that they were still super busy and that I should hear something by the end of the week. The collection company has recently started to call me multiple times throughout the day, and it's really disheartening that this is something that could have been easily fixed and the harassment by the collection company wouldn't exist! I have been extremely patient with this situation. I do not mind paying what I owe. I just want to be treated fairly.

According to I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL INC. the debt is for {$1200.00} fee was included in. The date is for XXXX. I had a lease with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I reached out to XXXX XXXX of the apartment. He was supposed to get back with me to tell me the adjusted amount. Last weekend of XX/XX/XXXX, I moved out. I went back to finish cleaning I noticed an eviction notice on the door with false amount. In XX/XX/XXXX, he told me he would reply to me once the amount has been adjusted. I never heard back from him. Instead I received some harassment calls from XXXX to request a payment. I had blocked the number. I also received a mail from the debt collection. Please read below the emails between me and the manager Your account is closed XXXX XXXX. No additional fees are going to be added. Please be patient as we fix your ledger. We had to put a ticket in to resolve the issue. You will be notified once your ledger is corrected. Get XXXX XXXX XXXX From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Re : XXXX Good morning As of this morning, I have not seen any update on it yet. Today is the last day to avoid any fee. I can't afford any more fees. Thank you From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Re : XXXX Hello XXXX XXXX, We are working on adjusting your ledger. I will email you back once it's completed. From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Monday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : XXXX Good afternoon I attempted to get in touch with you over the phone when I called the first week of XXXX. However, I was transferred to a lady I think it was XXXX if not mistaken. I know according to my note my last day was going to be on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to a lady that week and told me I could come in Friday XX/XX/XXXX. It was raining I could not come. I came in that Saturday. After clarification, the ladies allowed me to go in. I went in I saw a bill for over {$1200.00} attached to my apartment on the inside and it was an eviction notice. I had already moved out that weekend prior. One of the main reasons I could not stay in that address is because I have some stalkers for the well being of my daughter and I had to. I am willing to pay my balance and you can keep my deposit if you have to. I need the balance to reflect my last day of moving out please. If possible, is there a way you can take one of the late fees? My income has not changed and I would appreciate everything. Thank you

I.Q. Data International , Inc. is an unethical -- -at best -- debt collection agency that uses inappropriate tactics to attempt to berate consumers into repaying debts. With that, I have dealt with several members of this team over the course of XXXX years in an attempt to resolve a debt due to some unfortunate life circumstances. In each encounter, I was greeted by a XXXX representative who belittled or attempted to remind me of what a " XXXX XXXX XXXX' I was for having the debt in the first place. In this most recent incident, I called in an attempt to once and for all find resolution. I called the number listed on the document from previous failed attempts. The manager -- XXXX XXXX -- is a great salesman and attempted to sell me my debt very well by making statements that were at best vague and not factual, nor legally binding in any way, and used verbiage that insinuated they were laws that were not. Further, when I did not go along with his narrative he seemed to become agitated and told me I was becoming combative and it was my fault that I was in this position in the first place and he was doing me a favor. After some negotiating, he stated that we had been on the phone for 30 minutes and asked had I had come to a decision, and if not we were done with the call. I said I wanted to see if there were any other options but if he needed to go I understood. He then quickly dismissed me, said I was refusing to pay, and hung up. I called back and asked to speak to a higher-up manager. I was connected to XXXX XXXX -- Director of Operations -- in which case she very defensively told me she was already aware of the call, apologized for his inappropriate behavior, told me he would be disciplined, and then proceed to tell me why he shouldn't have offered me a deal in the first place and continued to berate me just as XXXX had done. I attempted to explain to XXXX XXXX that my strife was not with her, but that I felt the tactics were unprofessional and inappropriate. She proceed to get louder and tell me that I was being combative and she was a single mother. This company uses scare tactics, threats, belittling, verbal assault, and condescending behaviors to attempt debt collection. I ended the call by allowing XXXX XXXX to finish her passionate speech about why I should get no grace for my owed debt, thanked her for her time, said I would try again another time, told her that she worked for an unscrupulous company and to have a good night.

I had issues at an apartment where I lived. I have rented for 30 years and have never moved out where I have been taken to collections. In fact, I had lived at the same complex before and had my deposit returned before. This time, I had the bad experience where the apartment next to mine flooded into my apartment and I complained to the upper management about it and asked to have the carpets replaced, they did not do anything about it. Instead, they made me the scapegoat and tried to charge me at move out for the mistake that their maintenance people made when they failed to stop the flooding next door. The apartment was very clean when I moved out and was even done by a person who cleans professionally. I have pictures from the move out as well. In regard to the water bill, the water part was broken and I have pictures of it leaking all over the parking lot. I paid hundreds of dollars in water bills to them altogether which was ridiculous. I feel that I was overcharged for the water to begin with. Also, my apartment was broken into which is why the lock had to be changed since their maintenance men were refusing to do repairs at the end. I told them that the apartment was in very good condition and they said I should have done a walk through and I told them that XXXX XXXX refused to do one and they belittled me and disputed this. They made false allegations against me and made comments that were false. I received harassing calls and when I asked to speak with managers, I was told that they were the higher ups. I feel that they were in violation of the FDCPA and the FCRA due to the facts that they would not validate the debt in the beginning and just reported me and would not let me dispute the debt and kept calling and harassing me after I told them not to call me and after I told them I was speaking to attorneys. Also, I was in Nevada and they were calling me from Washington in the beginning. They also gave me bogus contact information. I have been turned down by three apartments already due to bad references by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) Apartments in XXXX Nevada and now they are reporting this on the credit bureau. I feel that this is in retaliation for filing with HUD in the past as well and other state and federal agencies on them as well as Resident IQ data International. Also, my mail was getting stolen from the complex and I had to file with the postal service about this issue. Resident IQ data harassed me over this as well.

I was contacted via mail by IQ Data in late XXXX about damages owed from an apartment I occupied from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. Upon my move out, I had extensive conversations with the leasing office regarding damages caused from multiple water leaks and ignored maintenance requests during my tenancy. I was assured that the apartment was due a complete renovation due to age, ie a 30 yr old refrigerator, and no upgrades in the same time period. I was due a refund of my original {$1500.00} security deposit. A month after I left, new management sent conflicting statements and I got a very unexpected letter from IQ data. I contacted them via certified letter and asked for a debt validation. I also contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and was assured that it was all a misunderstanding and would be quickly remedied. I even got multiple emails inviting me back to lease from them. I never heard back from either of them regarding any supposed debt until IQ data contacted me via phone several months ago. I again requested validation and the person I spoke to apologized for the call and said that the debt could not be validated. Today I got another call. My phone number has never changed and I always answer all calls. The first agent was polite and followed all protocols. I stated that I preferred to handle things by mail and asked for the address. We were disconnected. I called back and a second agent refused to give me the company address and instead mocked me, yelled at me, berated me, and hung up on me. I called back yet again and got the first agent who apologized for the treatment I received and he urged me to accept a settlement immediately or have my credit ruined. I explained again that I preferred to correspond by mail so that I might send documentation proving this debt invalid. He tried to get me to post date my payment for this invalid debt and continued to threaten damage to my credit. I explained that Im XXXX and terminal and that I have XXXX XXXX sons ( XXXX & XXXX ) and a XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter. I again asked for the address to correspond. He urged me to accept a settlement because a lawyer would cost more than just paying an invalid debt. He said I should pay in protest and when I prove the debt invalid then IQ Data would refund me. I again asked for the address which he finally provided to me, after issuing a warning that everything is off the table and I would surely have my credit ruined with my decision.

Hello, On XX/XX/2020 I rented the apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX MN XXXX the move in was XX/XX/2020. XXXX XXXX XXXX with a XXXX year contract. On the day of the walk in before I move in a man representing the apartment show me the apartment. He told me to write down everything I see wrong with the Apartment. XXXX XXXX form to mark what was wrong ( he never explained what I should do with it ) so I did and left it in the counter top thinking he will pick it up. They never stopped to pick it up. I forgot about it. I had to call maintenance a couple of times. XXXX time was on the middle of winter the hold apartment had electricity except for my apartment. The maintenance man told me that someone move the brake for my apartment. The XXXX time the dryer was not drying well so they said the lines for dryer was full of lint and they had to come back and cleaned from the roof. The XXXX time XXXX of the bathroom was leaking water from the roof. So as you see in there pictures the window had XXXX. The charges are for some carpet that was already damaged when I move in, the cleaning charges they are collecting is for the closet where the washer and dryer are in. Explain to management that I didnt clean there because I had to remove the door closets door and move the appliances. For XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or had the tools to remove the door. The manager told me that the charges stay. When I called the office to make sure that I had to give my 60 day notice the same man that did the walk in told me I need to wait until the end of the month. To give my 60 day notice. After I move out I cleaned the apartment and the same man came to do the walk and check the apartment he made me sing the document and told me I need it to wait until the inspection is done and they will send me the summary. Well XXXX weeks when pass and I call the office XXXX XXXX told me he just sent the disclosures. Attached yo can see the change and I send a email advising them I dont agree with the charges and asked for a disclosure of the bill. I will include all the emails and pictures they sent me.

I monitor my Credit reports, Dark Web and Identity and related accounts and activities daily/weekly, as I am an XXXX in XXXX at XXXX and have encountered and been a victim of multiple breaches and fraud due to the nature of my work. I received email alerts this week from multiple sources notifying me of unexpected activity on my reports across multiple agencies of which resulted in a credit score drop of 30points. I immediately accessed my reports to investigate and found that an unknown company filed a collections against me, without my knowledge and/or having received any communications written or otherwise. I immediately have submitted disputes via XXXX and XXXX! stating the debt was incorrect. The company came back within 2 business days and responded with repeat submission. It appears to be an Apartment building debt. I did in fact reside at the apartment referenced, however I moved out in XX/XX/2020 and paid monies owing. It is critical to note that my move out was during the height Covid and lockdowns. Paid my rent each month, and did not default or live rent free like many other tenants did at the time. Also a key legal consideration : the management leased my home to a new tenant and they began moving in/shipping furniture etc to my apartment BEFORE I moved out. I was NOT notified by management on-site I f a new tenant nor given notice verbally or written of this. The result : I was forced to find a new home/move out within one week of determining on my own that my home was being occupied by someone else whilst I was living/working from home. This was traumatizing and their actions or lack thereof left me vulnerable at an extreme moment in time and they expressed no remorse or options. I consulted an attorney who agreed that the management company was in the wrong ethically, and who advised me that the process to fight the wrongdoings would be both costly and lengthy for me. I resided at the luxury apartment for over 6 years and all payments and communication were done in good faith, with transparency and professionalism. I request that the CFPB investigate not only this charge but the volume was f charged/complaints received for said apartment, as I know there were others at the time who had horrible experiences and simply left/moved without paying or completing and broke their lease contract. I at no time broke a lease contract. This debt collection is unfair business practice.

XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail from IQ data stating that I owe my previous landlord XXXX along with a letter breaking down the charges.I attempted to dispute this amount via XXXX XXXX but it was denied. I spoke with XXXX XXXX ( possibly XXXX ) during my move out inspection and asked her infront of witnesses just to have some sort of proof in the event of an issue, I asked her how much of my deposit they would keep she stated well I know you told us months ago you would not renew your lease and you were moving out but we will have to charge you up to one months rent for you moving out since its not in writing so you wont get your deposit of XXXX back we then did a walkthrough and she stated I would be charged for a small repaint in the kids bedroom due to a wall decor pulling paint off and the stove eyes needed to be replaced! So again I asked how much am I going to have to pay she said XXXX minus my XXXX deposit ( I have the person who helped me clean the unit willing to give a notarized statement of this ) Now this was done on XXXX due the office being closed on XX/XX/XXXX when we moved out and there being no drop box for the keys.The charges are ridiculous I have paid off this property once without asking any questions but I will not pay for something that was falsified I have my uhaul receipt showing I removed all of my things out of the unit on XX/XX/XXXX but they charged me for 3 days saying I still was staying there FALSE again.I have no problem paying for breaking the lease but the carpet paint and other charges are all incorrect the carpet was cleaned the week we moved out BY XXXX Vendor due to a raw sewage leak. I know I am not the first to have an issue with them and I have previous tenants willing to take legal action in form of a class action suit against them for the same exact reasons.The pandemic was rough and I still had to move and provide for my children bc the sewage leak was a common issue and I didnt want my kids sick from exposure especially during the start of the pandemic.My lease is ending and just as Im applying for a new place I get this letter now if they are willing to talk about charging me for the lease being broken thats different but I will not just give IQ data more money than I actually owe like the last time I was told I owed XXXX but had to pay around XXXX to them to get it in good standing I need this issue resolved in a timely manner!

I and my spouse rented apartment at XXXX at XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2022 the office manager call us and told us that they wanted the apartment back, We spoke with the office manager to give us some weeks so we could find a place to stay,, we told her to give us a written document but she refused and told us she was going to speak with her boss,, after a week we contacted the office manager again and she told us that she havent heard anything from her boss,, so due to her statement telling us to move that they wanted the apartment,, I and my spouse quickly got a new apartment at the end of XXXX and we went to inform the office manager that we got another apartment just as she ask us to move,, And the manager told us that we are going to pay for lease violation, that was shocking,, Because the manager ask us to move that they want the apartment,, so we told the office manager that wasnt what you told us,, the office manager ask ask us to move and we pleaded with her to talk to her boss to give us little time to get a new place,, And our lease was suppose to end in XX/XX/2022,, due to the pressure from the office manager we quickly got a new place so that office will not make me, my wife and kids XXXX. So when the office manager told us we going to pay for the lease violation, I requested to speak with her boss and she gave me the number of her boss at the head office,, the phone Number was XXXX and the name of the lady I spoke with was XXXX XXXX, I spoke with her a week before we moved out, and she told us as far the office manager ask us to move, that we should pay {$1000.00} for the damage in the apartment instead of the lease violation!! So that was what we agreed!! If they can provide the voice recorder for that conversation,, that will be helpful.. The damage in the apartment was as a result of the maintenance efforts try to fix water leakage during the snow that happened in XXXX,, it took the apartment several months to fix the walls they cut open,, and as a result of that holes on the walls, Rat and and Roaches got into our apartment,, and all our efforts to get rid of those Rat and Roaches proved abortive. At the end of our conversation with XXXX XXXX XXXX from the head office we agreed to pay the {$1000.00} for the interest of peace. Right now they have reported the debt to be {$6300.00} on my credit report. That {$6300.00} is a wrong amount we were ask to pay by the XXXX head office.

XXXX XXXX IQ national data in regards to an account of my they have in collections. I try to inform them that the account is on my credit twice once for them and wants for another company before II contact ikioo national data in regards to an account of my they have in collections. I try to inform them that the account is on my credit twice once for them and once for another company before I can get my story out or my explanation. I was rudely interrupted by the representative who told me that it is not her problem, nor is it her job to figure out why the balance is on my account twice and that if Im not calling to make a payment or to pay the balance off, she has nothing to say to me. I began to tell her that she was acting very rude and ask because she transfer me to someone else. She insist on harassing and bullying me in offending me, telling me that Im the one who has that that I need to have paid not her that is my job to pay what I owe in which I tried to explain to her that I will pay. It wants to matter is resolved she didnt tells me if Im not going to pay the balance then I am wasting her time. Once I asked to be transferred again, she told me And ask because she transfer me to someone else. She insist on harassing and bullying me and offending me telling me that Im the one who has debt that I need to have paid not her that is my job to pay what I owe in which I try to explain to her that I will pay it. Once the matter is resolved she then tells me if Im not going to pay the balance then I am wasting her time. Once I asked to be transferred again she told me that she would not transfer me because she would not allow me to waste anyone elses time she insist that they have tried to call multiple times, and I have hung up in their face which is not true, but I do have their number blocked because they do call me at many hours of the day even when Im trying to explain to them on the phone that I cant pay the balance right now they are very pushy and rude telling me things such as figure it out go out there and find the money. I once again asked to be transferred and she told me that shes not transferring me and if Im not calling to make that payment, then she has nothing else to say to me. Im simply trying to get this matter resolved I have a debt on my account. The same debt is on my account twice for two different companies for two different totals for the same account.

I am filing this complaint because IQ Data International have continued to report inaccurate information on my consumer report to all XXXX of the major credit reporting agencies and have been engaging in abusive debt collection practices to try and collect an alleged debt. I sent IQ Data International a cease and desist, and ordered them to cease their abusive debt collection practices but they ignored it and continued to engage in their abusive practices. I also requested validation of the debt and all I received was some papers that I guess where supposed to be statements or something but it's clearly fake. There was no accounting ledger showing any debt, I received nothing sworn under oath or an affidavit verifying their claim, no judgement, I didn't even receive a contract. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g ( b ) if a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgement, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgement is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. In the papers that they sent, there was no verification or judgement attached. The papers they sent unable to be verified therefore the alleged debt is invalid. I am demanding that IQ Data International delete all references to this account and remove this inaccurate account from my consumer report IMMEDIATELY! If this inaccurate Information continues to show on my consumer report after you receive this notice I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for : Violations under the FCRA Violations under the FDCPA Defamation of Character Also I never gave IQ Data International any permission to furnish any Information about me on my consumer report, nor did I give the Reserve at XXXX permission to share my non public private information with an unaffiliated third party which is a clear violation of my right to privacy. IQ Data International obtained my Information illegally and furnished inaccurate Information on my consumer report to try and extort money out of me that is not owed. This would constitute IdentityTheft, Frauds and swindles under 18 USC 1341, and racketeering activity under 18 USC 1961. Please do not play with me this will get ugly.

I was contacted by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX via mail over a year after moving out claiming we owed money for damages ( {$3300.00} ). The damage price seemed very high, and the long duration between us moving out and them contacting us seemed suspicious. It's worth noting that there was no formal move out inspection done with the apartment complex on our move out date. We asked why we were just now hearing about these damages, and looked into the Indiana law ( Indiana Code 32-31-3-14 ) which states they needed to contact us about outstanding damage costs within 45 days of moving out. In an email correspondence, they stated that they checked with their corporate offices, and claimed they sent us our first notice on XX/XX/XXXX. Our move out date was XX/XX/XXXX, which would be within the 45-day window. They also claimed that was our " second '' notice. The notice I received was sent the week of XX/XX/XXXX. Their reasoning behind the second notice was that they were in the process of sending a second round of statements as a courtesy to prevent sending past due balances to collections, and that the account was previously not sent to collections due to XXXX restrictions. We asked for the details they received from their corporate offices around the first notice since we never received anything in the mail. We were told we could request that information if we let it go to collections and chose to dispute it. We chose to let it go to collections, since we did not believe the first notice was actually sent. Fast forward to this year, and we were contacted by a debt collecting company ( I.Q. Data International , inc ). The notice was sent XX/XX/XXXX. In that letter, they claimed that if we wrote to them asking for proof of the debt, they had to stop collection until that information was provided. I sent them a letter within the 30 day dispute time window, which requested numerous things, but the most important thing being proof that a notice was sent within 45 days, so I could validate the debt on my end. I received a response from the collection agency. In their response, they failed to provide proof around the first notice. I called them once I received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX, explaining that their response to my request still did not provide the proof that I was contacted within 45 days. I was told that they had no obligation to provide that proof to me.

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX Department to receive clarification on a rental balance from XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. While speaking with the representative he mentioned there was a balance of XXXX for XXXX XXXX under XXXX XXXX, no account number was available for this account or other information and was instructed to XXXX the management company for contact information. Immediately I searched the web and found XXXX XXXX contact information. I made the phone call to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and was directed to contact via email XXXX and collection agency XXXX XXXX. Once I called XXXXIQ data that day with the balance reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX my name apartment location and year they werent able to locate me and said they will call me back. I then sent an email requesting information on balance and account number. I received a reply back from XXXX stating he had no account number but a balance of XXXX, which was different than XXXX data. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX /IQ data to inquiry on my previous call and gave the balance and my social security number, the year and name of the Apartments. The representative stated he had found the account with that balance, stated if I paid in full I can receive a deletion letter, I asked if there were any settlements available on the debt, he mentioned no and could assist with a hardship application that could help with services to assist me in the balance but I wouldnt receive a deletion letter. I was told the account didnt go to a collections company. He then told me in order to get the deletion letter I will have to pay XXXX I asked him how did the cost go up he said it was taxes and interest. I said I will call back and he attempted to keep me on the phone implyingI wouldnt want to end the call like this. It will be perceived as I dont want to pay the debt. I have nothing in writing from this company, the numbers arent accurate, thats why my attempts have been made to contact them as I am aware of money owed when I moved out in XXXX. There are to many discrepancies in the balance and unfairness and I am asking for this account to be deleted from my rental profile. The call was getting uncomfortable so and I hung up. He wanted to conduct a hardship application over the phone, then implied it would change anything. Just give me resources, I have never encountered or heard anything like this.

On or about XX/XX/2018, I moved out of The XXXX at XXXX XXXX apartment complex ; giving plenty of notice of my intent to move. Management company charged for an additional month of rent, in addition to keeping my security deposit and failing to give a move out ledger of alleged expenses. I never received communication from the management company, only from the debt collector who put an amount of money I do not owe, on my credit report. That amount was XXXX. It is now XXXX. I attempted to resolve the issue by contacting the debt collector and they were unwilling to remove the negative mark from my credit report. IQ Data International, has also increased the debt owed by percentages not agreed by me, without written notice and continues to report the increases to the credit bureaus. The management company, XXXX owned the property when I submitted my notice of intent to move, I kept in close contact with management personnel informing them of my progress in moving. I had a good verification of rent letter, stating that I was not behind on my rent, never late and moving out on XX/XX/2018. Management changed over to XXXX XXXX and they refused to honor the notice of intent to move out. As per my lease, I never received a reminder to renew so I was only suppose to give a 30 day notice ; I gave notice in XXXX. Regional manager, XXXX XXXX stated he was in receipt of my notice to move from XX/XX/2018 ; per our XX/XX/2018 email communication. I moved from the property XX/XX/2018 and turned in the keys on XX/XX/2018. The property is charging me for XXXX rent that I do not owe. I will submit email conversations with the previous property manager, XXXX XXXX, stating that I only wish to renew my lease for five months beginning XX/XX/2018 to end XX/XX/2018. I will also submit email communication of Regional manager, XXXX XXXX, using bullying tactics to threaten negative impact to my " rental and credit history '' and also implying that he already had intentions to apply my security deposit to any balances owed. I will also submit my notice, my verification of rent, my key turn in sheet with my forwarding address and a statement of facts. All of which was submitted to the collection company along with a letter to cease collection actions. Nothing has worked so far and these companies are illegally trying to XXXX XXXX me into paying something I do not owe.

I was informed by collection agency I.Q. Data International, Inc on XX/XX/XXXX that they were attempting to collect a debt of {$14000.00} for the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MA XXXX. I contacted a representative at I.Q International by phone to discuss and dispute the action. The representative accessed the account XXXX XXXX XXXX. The collection contends that I violated lease terms by vacating my residence without providing proper notice. I informed the representative that I did not have a lease with the company. I further informed him that all rent payments were made in full and that I was in possession of a letter from the management office at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX that due to the pandemic no leases would be required in XXXX and no rent increases would apply. I received a second notice from the company dated XX/XX/XXXX that my rent has been increased from XXXX monthly to XXXX monthly plus an additional XXXX monthly convenience fee for non renewal of the lease totaling XXXX month. This amount was due immediately and every month thereafter that I elected to remain at the property. I vacated the property the following month. Upon review of the account the I.Q. Data representative agreed and acknowledged that the collection amount was inaccurate and the company 's supporting documents did not match their claims. I made a written request to I.Q, Data International , Inc to provide in writing an explanation of the charges and amounts. At no time was any judgement ever entered against me in any court. No rent on the property was ever unpaid. My request was sent to the I.Q. Data International , Inc via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. To date I have received no response or documentation from I.Q. Data International, Inc. I had considered this matter closed until discovering a collections report had been made on my credit statement. My current credit score is XXXX. I maintain all the documentation to support my position that no monies are owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Supporting documents are available upon request but files were to large too upload on this site. This is a falsified and damaging action taken against me and I am asking for a complaint to be started against I.Q. Data International and if possible XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MA XXXX.

I reached a buyout agreement with The XXXX in XXXX of XXXX, the agreement was Id give 60 days notice and pay the rent owed during that time, once that time frame was up Id owe an additional months rent of XXXX and the manager at that time, XXXX XXXX advised I could even set up a payment plan if need be. I pay XXXX on full, XXXX in full, and the rent for XXXX was prorated based upon the date I gave notice. We moved and Id tried establishing the payment plan with XXXX, Id left the area to work out of town for a while. She kept putting the matter off, and we soon found out shed quit. The new manager stated she had no knowledge of the buyout and that shed moved me out of an apartment on XX/XX/XXXX but wed left in XXXX. They refused to adhere to the buyout agreement that was with their previous agent XXXX XXXX and began running a total again. The remainder of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, even though their manager admitted to allegedly moving me out. I have screenshots and emails of everything, even their website prorating XXXX rent. And the payment being made and is owing zero. I believe this to be retaliation from a legal matter we had months prior, they were the victims of a theft and had several money orders stolen and cashed. As a result they tried to charge us for their theft, we refused and they tried to evict us for XX/XX/XXXX rent. The judge found in our favor and they still kept that balance there for months, we had to contact the judge in order to have the complex remove the balance that wed legally established we did not owe! I still have a copy of the judgement as well. They sent the present matter over to IQ data, I disputed this using the method they provided. The apartment complex nor their corporate office ever responded to the dispute, IQ data kept calling stating I owed a debt even though I was in an active dispute period and their client never responded, they admitted as much on their recorded line. I disputed this matter in XXXX of XXXX with IQ data and their client The XXXX a living well homes community has still yet to respond, but IQ data placed the disputed matter on my credit report even though I supplied them with evidence supporting my argument and their client never provided a debt validation. This has caused my family and I to have to rent hotels spending mountains of money.

XX/XX/XXXX I sent a dispute to the collection agency DataIQ. The dispute goes back a while before that with an apartment complex, XXXX XXXX XXXX The apartments attempted to include a number of charges that were not mentioned in the contract, one of which including a repainting charge. When asked for more info, I was told that there was {$67.00} charge for painting. The contract never mentioned this as being standard, and this was mentioned. While trying to resolve the issue with the apartment complex and asking multiple times for some kind of proof of damage and repair, nothing was given and they instead sent the charges to DataIQ. From the first call with them, they have been mean, pushy, disrespectful, and have tried to intimidate me on multiple occasions. I ask for more info on what they mean by something and they hang up, I ask for more clarification and they change the subject. I was eventually pressured into paying the now $ XXXX ( due to interest ) due to them intimidating me with no time to actually put together a response. I sent my dispute in XXXX stating the legal obligation the apartment has in providing proof, including several laws and court decisions from the past which show that the burden of proof is in the apartment, not the tenant. It was not acknowledged and nothing was communicated about it. I have sent two separate emails to ask about the dispute and no response was given. Today on the XXXX of XXXX, I tried to call to get more information about it. The agent on the phone was very rude, said I paid the debt so my account is closed and theres nothing she can do about it. I asked if there was someone else I could talk to and she said no. I asked what we can do about it because the charge was unlawfully made, and she said it doesnt matter what I think because they closed the case and there is nothing I can do. She offered a mailing address or a fax number and I asked what those were for and she said if I wanted them I can call back but she had work to do and hung up the phone. Not only have they been hostile toward me in attempt to get the money, but they are also hostile when I try to right a wrong done against me. They offer no means of correction. They have intimidated me into making a quick decision and they are intimidating me again now that I question the charges.

I entered into a lease agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was prematurely terminated due to a violation of the Right to Quiet Enjoyment. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue amicably with the property management, the situation necessitated vacating the premises for safety and well-being. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a Notice to Vacate, which was acknowledged by the leasing department on XX/XX/XXXX. Following another incident, we reaffirmed our decision to vacate on the same day. On XX/XX/XXXX, the leasing agent confirmed the receipt of apartment keys and acknowledged our departure from the unit. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a move-out cost breakdown that did not accurately reflect the security deposit amount, which was significantly higher than reported. After receiving this, I made several attempts to contact XXXX XXXX for clarification. Calls were made on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX, with follow-up emails sent on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. The leasing agent acknowledged an error with the security deposit amount during a call on XX/XX/XXXX, but no further clarification was provided. The next correspondence was a bill from IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX, which included charges that were inconsistent with the initial move-out breakdown. I disputed this collection and requested debt validation on XX/XX/XXXX. The response from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, was unsatisfactory, providing an XXXX spreadsheet without proper validation of the alleged debt. Despite these efforts, the debt was reported to credit bureaus, affecting my credit score. I have made numerous attempts to resolve this issue directly with the property management and the collection agency, including 14 calls to IQ Data on XX/XX/XXXX, which were met with repeated hang-ups and a lack of cooperation. The collection agency has not provided adequate debt validation, has reported the debt without proper notice, and has failed to investigate the dispute thoroughly. This has resulted in an unfair credit report entry and continued attempts to collect a debt that is not accurately validated. I seek the removal of this collection from my credit report and cessation of collection attempts until a thorough and fair investigation is conducted, with proper validation of the alleged debt provided.

I entered into a lease agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was prematurely terminated due to a violation of the Right to Quiet Enjoyment. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue amicably with the property management, the situation necessitated vacating the premises for safety and well-being. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a Notice to Vacate, which was acknowledged by the leasing department on XX/XX/XXXX. Following another incident, we reaffirmed our decision to vacate on the same day. On XX/XX/XXXX, the leasing agent confirmed the receipt of apartment keys and acknowledged our departure from the unit. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a move-out cost breakdown that did not accurately reflect the security deposit amount, which was significantly higher than reported. After receiving this, I made several attempts to contact XXXX XXXX for clarification. Calls were made on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX, with follow-up emails sent on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. The leasing agent acknowledged an error with the security deposit amount during a call on XX/XX/XXXX, but no further clarification was provided. The next correspondence was a bill from IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX, which included charges that were inconsistent with the initial move-out breakdown. I disputed this collection and requested debt validation on XX/XX/XXXX. The response from IQ Data on XX/XX/XXXX, was unsatisfactory, providing an XXXX spreadsheet without proper validation of the alleged debt. Despite these efforts, the debt was reported to credit bureaus, affecting my credit score. I have made numerous attempts to resolve this issue directly with the property management and the collection agency, including 14 calls to IQ Data on XX/XX/XXXX, which were met with repeated hang-ups and a lack of cooperation. The collection agency has not provided adequate debt validation, has reported the debt without proper notice, and has failed to investigate the dispute thoroughly. This has resulted in an unfair credit report entry and continued attempts to collect a debt that is not accurately validated. I seek the removal of this collection from my credit report and cessation of collection attempts until a thorough and fair investigation is conducted, with proper validation of the alleged debt provided.

Summary : Unvalidated Charges/ Debt being pursued by Collection Agency. I called the collection agency IQ Data listed on a notice letter within 30 days of receiving. They were unable to provide details or validity of the claims/debt owed, nor was their client : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( original creditor ). However, please note, the notice letter I received from IQ Data ( attached in the document section ), reads the original creditor listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I mailed a dispute response to IQ Data, sent Certified Mail on XX/XX/XXXX to the address for XXXX XXXX @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX WA XXXX listed on the notice letter received on XX/XX/XXXX - requesting validity of this debt being pursued. I should also mention, that XXXX of XXXX did not send notice alerting me of potential collection action at any time prior to receiving notice of Collection action from IQ Data. Additionally, I provided all of my email communication with XXXX XXXX XXXX and their responses, clearly demonstrating their inability to validate the charges being pursued. Since mailing my dispute over 10 months ago, I had not been contacted in any form ( mail, email, phone ). Nor did I receive a formal response after delivery of my initial dispute letter. Subsequently, I received an alert of collections action on my XXXX XXXX XXXX indicating derogatory account notification due to IQ Data collection assignment. I sent another dispute letter via certified mail to IQ Data on XX/XX/XXXX. I called the collection agency once again, who confirmed receipt of both disputes, and stating they would mail me proof of validity ( after trying to collect payment in exchange for an instance email providing validity ). My last conversation with the collection agency was demeaning and highly insulting. They have continued to harass me, calling me during my work hours. I have diligently strived to maintain top notch credit history, and have had XXXX blemishes on my history prior to this invalid debt being pursued. To this date, neither the original creditor, nor IQ Data has been able to provide validity of the debt being pursued. If there had been objective, empirical evidence provided at any time since being pursued for this supposed debt, I gladly would have paid it off without hesitation.

On XX/XX/XXXX my husband opened a debt collections letter from I.Q. Data International , INC. address only to him. This was dated on XX/XX/XXXX with no post day on the envelope. The following business day XX/XX/XXXX I immediately called to dispute the debt and to clarify what steps would be needed. The letter stated that to call or write by XXXX to dispute the debt or any information that was not correct. The letter also did not clarify the original creditor and was only identify the name of the building. This debt is from unpaid cleaning and move out costs from the property management company that needs to be verified, not the name of the building. The associate, XXXX told me that the date on the letter did not mean anything and threaten that after this phone call he would go right to his manager and send this to unpaid accounts that would effect my credit score. We sent in our dispute letter that clarified the dates that I received this notice, however, I still NEVER directly received any notice of unpaid debts, or that this was in collections. We sent in a written letter as well expedited to signature verify by the date on the notice of XXXX. Since this letter was not received with no postage mark on when it was sent, we asked the 30 days from the time I called in to immediately resolve. They sent this to the credit bureau that now negatively impacts my credit rating as well as my husbands. I have additionally filed disputes with the credit bureau and have been in constant communication with both property management companies to resolve this original creditor. Both management companies now do not have record of any open outstanding accounts. I respectively would like this to be reversed from my credit so I can resolve whatever outstanding payments are needing. Furthermore, I have emails from almost 2 years ago from the property management company that billed our account incorrectly and admitted to the wrong doing offered a negotiated priced. The account the debt collections is billing for is the full amount and not negotiated amount, probably due to the fact the management company has has multiple turnover and can not keep accurate records of billing. They have told us there is no open account at this time which I'm continually looking into.

We had been having safety and security issues at the apartment complex we were renting from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX for over nine months. We contacted management but no attempt was made to fix dangerous construction debris, inaccessible services such as walk ways and trash disposal, and overcrowded apartments nearby that had loud parties and were dealing drugs late into the night. People would walk directly into the apartment across from us without a key or knocking. In the morning there would be beer, liquor and food trash in front of the apartment on the stairs and in the corridor. We filed complaints with the Florida Attorney General. We received receipts that our complaints were received but no other information or action. The complex/company raises the rental rates every time you renew your lease. We had been looking for another rental, once found we requested the form to end the lease. We filled it out and returned it to XXXX XXXX, the current Manager. She confirmed receipt and our move out date. There was a waiting list for the one bedroom we were currently renting. We turned all of our keys in which she confirmed via email. She said there was no balance due and nothing else was needed. We received no calls, correspondence or emails from her after we had ended our lease. Over two years later when making a financial transaction I learned that I had a derogatory account on my credit from XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I.Q. Data International, Inc. of XXXX. I was charged XXXX for " breaking the lease '' and they continue to add monthly processing charges to this debt. I was informed by XXXX that there was no fees if the form was filled out. She was very helpful and never said there would be any fees or charges. I do not know who determined that these fees would be charged to me. I believe if you audit the leases for this company with properties throughout the United States that you will find excessive charges and fees to tenants living there and to the majority of those ending their leases. At the minimum, there should be a class action lawsuit against this company. In addition, I don't understand how their billing, leasing and property management can be in compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Please advise and assist. Thank you.

In 2017 I had endured a unavoidable eviction. The apartment complex at that time was called XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Texas. I was only making {$1100.00} dollars per month income and the rent was $ XXXX/mth. They rented to me anyways. On my last 2 months of my lease I became behind on my rent and unavoidable eviction. The courts issued a notice and my final balance was {$1700.00}. This is documented in the XXXX Texas municipal eviction court and through the apartment complex. I delayed in immediate repayment due to unavoidable circumstances ( homelessness ) and was sent to collections through a company called IQDATA. I called them and made payment arrangements and was able to pay {$500.00} of the {$1700.00} amount due by the courts but was cut short of completion because I found additional housing and my rent was {$900.00} per month. I tried for 5 years to start payment to IQData until I noticed that my balance went from {$1400.00} dollars to {$4000.00} because they said I owed them back pay. I tried to repay apartment complex directly but needed the adjustment of the {$400.00} applied to the balance due and IQDATA refused to release the correct payment information to the apartment complex until I paid the full {$4000.00}. I tried legal aid and they said they couldn't help. I have suffered long enough. I need your help. IQData won't work with me at all until the full {$4000.00} is paid. The XXXX XXXX XXXX won't help me either and have hung up in my face about 7 times now because they say I am annoying them and they don't care. My actual amount due is {$1300.00} and XXXX XXXX XXXX still wants the full {$1700.00} and I've already paid {$400.00} of it to IQData and IQData refuses to pay XXXX XXXX the money I paid into my debt and won't call XXXX XXXX XXXX back to confirm until I pay them {$4000.00} in full. I have been abused enough. How can you help me. I have been homeless for 6 years now and I'm seriously considering suicide. Please help me. If you can't help me resolve this situation or have it completely deleted from my file for pain and suffering, don't bother to contact me or call with anymore I'm sorrys or there's nothing you can do. Just don't call and throw out this file. I can't take another NO IM SORRY WE CANT. XXXX XXXX XXXX

This account was sent from XXXX XXXX to IQ Data International sometime mid-XXXX. The amount at the time was {$5400.00}. I saw it on my credit, got the number, and I called IQ Data to discuss settling in XX/XX/XXXX. They were rude, talked down to me, made threats if I didn't pay in full. I offered {$3000.00} to settle and I was told they do not settle, and because I wasn't calling to pay out of the kindness of my heart, they were not obliged to help. I then called and talked with the new manager at XXXX XXXX. She told me the amount owed was actually incorrect, and that I really owed {$3200.00}. It took from XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX of XXXX to finally correct the amount in their ledgers and with IQ Data. I tried calling IQ Data again in XXXX and offered {$2000.00} to settle. I was told they don't settle and was literally yelled at every time I tried to speak. I finally hung up. I started researching options to deal with debt collectors and read that one should never call, only communicate in writing. So XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a debt settlement offer to them and mailed it certified mail with return signature receipt. That letter was received and signed for on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill from IQ Data asking for the full amount ; they totally disregarded my debt settlement offer and acted like they never received it. Aggravated, I asked an attorney to help. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX issued a letter to IQ Data requesting validation of the debt and listed off all documents to be collected and sent to me within 30 days from the date of their letter, otherwise they were to cease and desist collections efforts and I could file a complaint against them. The law firm also stated should the debt prove valid I would offer to settle the debt for {$2000.00} issued in one lump sum by cashiers check to be paid no later than XX/XX/XXXX should they agree. I received nothing from IQ Data. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by people I am trying to offer money to. There is no judgment on this amount. Every other collections agency I've had to work with over my 41 years on this earth has been more than willing to settle ; I know that they do. Why IQ Data insists on insulting me and not cooperating is baffling.

This property management company is full of greed and do not care about their tenants HEALTH. I was a tenant on their property for a couple years and Ive finally had enough when they become even more negligent with their emergency property maintenance. In an email on XX/XX/2022 I stated to the property I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter who lives with me and this is unacceptable. Im breathing in mold stagnant water and have been doing so for a couple days. Im going to have an inspector come and look at my apartment to see if its even habitable. They responded I have made the Maintenace request for you. We will get someone out there as soon as we are able to get this fixed for you. Best, XXXX XXXX my plumbing was never fixed and they didnt seem to care. I put in multiple emergency maintenance requests and nobody ever came to fix the issue. The bathtub wouldnt drain, the bathroom sink wouldnt drain, the toilet wouldnt flush, my washer made my clothes smell horrible, the smell of stagnant water quite possibly mold, as well as the contents of my toilet filled the apartment with the smell/odor of indescribable words. My XXXX XXXX XXXX had to brush her teeth and wash her hands in the kitchen sink for weeks. My daughter and I had to use our toilet without flushing it for WEEKS, as a result typed a letter to terminate my lease with the property, and moved into a different leasing property at this time. I stated to the attorney that My daughters and my health were at risk living at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He did not seem to care. And he gave me the next court date for us to proceed. The next court date I was waiting for my docket number to present my case to a judge via zoom and I was told the case was dismissed by the clerk. I was not able to explain to a judge or jury my situation because they dismissed it. The fact that they are trying to get money from me is very disturbing given the circumstances my family had to endure. I have kept all of the video, picture, emails documented of all my evidence over the course of my lease. I feel that justice needs to be brought to XXXX XXXX. This company is concerned more about money than the health of its tenants. They need to be held accountable for their actions and mistakes.

On XX/XX/2020 I moved from my apartment complex which was managed by XXXX XXXX at that time. I went in to the rental office on XX/XX/2020 to settle the bill. At that time I was told that I would receive the final statement at the end of the month. During that time the property changed management and my bill was sent to collections. In the state of Texas, before you can be sent to a collections agency the creditor has to give you 21 days to make the payment ; however, after speaking with XXXX XXXX, Account Representative at IQ Data, he reported that my account was sent to their agency in XXXX which was prior to the statue. I.Q data recovery has reached out to me on several occasions and each time I simply ask for the final statement from the apartment complex. They REFUSE to send the the statement. They demand that I make a promise to pay before they will review the statement. The last time they called me they agreed that they would send me the statement ; however they instead sent a letter of debt. Per my legal right I replied to the letter with in 30 days of receipt again asking them to send me a statement. This letter was sent to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX through certified mail ; therefore I have receipt of delivery. Today, when the representative from I.Q Data XXXX XXXX XXXX called me he told me that I was just trying to avoid paying my bill. Again, I asked if he would send the final statement. He refused to provide this information without me agreeing to make a payment. I asked him what happens if I want to dispute something, to which he responded that they would remove the charge, but then said I needed to pay the full amount and dispute it with the property. Again, I asked if he was legally refusing to send me a statement. He begin to talk in circles. I told him to reply with a " yes or a no ''. He raised his tone as boasted " yes '' I am refusing to send the statement. He went a step further to say that they were going to escalate my account and make it as refusal to pay. In the midst of a pandemic it is unfortunate that companies such as IQ Data are practicing predatorial collections tactics to create fear in working people, especially those who are making efforts to may any validated debt.

This complaint is to inform the CFPB that XXXX continues to violate procedure in case of disputed accuracy 15 U.S code Section 11681i. In a previous complaint filed in regards to IQ Data International, I stated that XXXX has taken more than 30 days to respond to my request to conduct a reasonable investigation. In regards to IQ DATA INTL INC partial account number XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified mail with XXXX pages of the lease agreement which did not bare any of my signatures. Along with a letter asking for a reasonable investigation. Included in this correspondence, I included a copy of my state issued drivers license and a copy of my XXXX XXXX tax return, showing that I did not live in XXXX, XXXX during that time. The written signatures sections on the leasing agreement sent to me by IQ data is actually blank. NO ACTUAL PROOF THAT I SIGNED THE LEASE ADDENDUM. IQ Data then send me a threatening letter informing me that they would not do any investigation on the matter and that the item would remain on my credit file. Which is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692d A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation. As of today, XXXX has just decided to respond to my correspondence. I submitted information regarding this matter on XX/XX/XXXX. I just received a response from the credit reporting agency dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that the item is verified. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX is XXXX days which is a violation of The Fair Credit Reporting Act. This act allows 30 days to conduct a reasonable investigation. This incorrect information on my credit report has caused me to be denied for a home loan. My next option will be seeking remedies for damages. I have presented more than enough evidence that I did not sign a lease agreement with this company. And XXXX continues to ignore the evidence. I have encountered an overwhelming amount of disrespect from this company in regards to this item on my credit file. This company should be embarrassed to call themselves a consumer reporting agency.

There is a collection agency called IQ Data that is on my consumer reports ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) that i have no knowledge of and they are violating my consumer rights. i have never seen a contract that shows i have done business with them or authorization that gives them the legal rights to collect from me. IQ Data has not provided me with the proper validation according to 15 usc 1692g. Also they have violated 15 usc 1692f. I have not received any proof that there was a such agreement that expressly authorizes this debt collection agency to collect on an Alleged debt which is a violation of the FDCPA. I sent a debt validation letter to them via certified mail on XX/XX/ 2022 and they did not respond to me at all which is also a violation. This company has also been contacting me without my prior consent which is a violation of 15 usc 1692c. This company is claiming that I owe an alleged debt that I have no knowledge about. Notice the term " Debt '' means an alleged debt. So I am asking that you prove to me that I owe your company and alleged debt and I have done business with you. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that a consumer report is any Written, Oral, or communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency. This means a consumer report is essentially the communication of information regarding a consumer. Since this is being reported on my consumer report you are communicating and I am demanding you cease all forms of communication through any medium. This included mediums such as 1. Telephone 2. Letter in the mail 3. Social Media 4. Email 5 Consumer report I am requesting full validation such as, original transfer rights to collect, confirmation of legal timeline to report on credit and/or collection procedures, validation of licensing requirements, posted bonding requirements, oversight on monthly payment histories, proper subscriber agreement compliance with credit reporting agencies, and overall compliance with all Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act bylaws as mandated by federal laws. If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this alleged debt off of my consumer report accordingly

I lived at the XXXX Apartments and lease ended in XX/XX/2023. I provided the correct forwarding address for mail that is still current as of today. Phone numbers are current as well, and email addresses are also current. Not one notice was received, regarding this being placed for collections and I am not sure why no attempt was made. All this information was provided to the property manager XXXX when I turned in my notice to vacate. I had to provide all that information to show my new apartments, I did everything as far as the lease states, such as providing a proper 60 day notice, forwarding address, email and phone number. The property manager then did confront me, asking why I was behind, on my final month, and I did tell her I was unemployed, early in the month of XXXX and if possible, be able to pay the remaining balance I owe and late fees, in increments. XXXX days before XXXX was over, She stated she could break up the amount owed to help me, after she stated verbally, that she was almost a month behind reading emails. So she didnt get my emails regarding my unemployment situation. I know she received them because I kept using the same email trend that she replied too. I didnt file a complaint against them either, as I should have, due to the unsuitable living conditions either. Pest infestation, dead roaches inside my fridge, inside my stove, inside my leftovers I would put in my fridge, all the mold that was never removed from the bathroom, that looked it was painted over, the bathroom sink never being fixed after the bad leaking it did, which I stil have the video of, and for not having the heater working at all during the cold temperatures, and I do have witnesses that will validate that I had created work orders, and the issue was never fixed. I had put in a request for the garbage disposal close to the beginning of my lease, and it was never done, I still have all the photos and screenshots. I never reported the issue, because I had hoped, since they were new to the property, it would take them a bit to get situated, and I wasnt going to be difficult with them. So I had hoped they would have just worked with me, and let me get this paid before it ever reported.

This debt is complete fraud. Ive had three companies call me under different names for this debt, the last company IQ Data called me and stated they were Submitted this debt to collections and they would ruin my credit for 7 years, the stated I needed to give a 60 days notice when I gave a 30 days notice to my landlord in writing and vacated. There was no lease it expired the month prior, I was in line with my month to month. My landlord kept the deposit of XXXX, this was supposed to be last months rent. I was completely vacated out of this unit and do not owe this, period. They have supplied me with NO EVIDENCE, I have disputed this with two collections already, then IQ data refused to even reply to BOTH the disputes Ive sent them. They have NO PROOF I owe this debt this is entirely based off of a lie given by the landlord saying I was in the unit after posting a letter saying you will have to MOVE IMMEDIATELY if you can not pay rent during COVID, NEVER supplied states letter for California, didnt reply to me or 6 other rental properties I applied to ( have in written that they repeatedly tried ). They have reported this, threatened me, called me after I asked not to, wont reply to any of my evidence, wont supply ANYTHING detailing or showing me the debt and why I am liable for this when there was NO CONTRACT in place and I was NOT in the unit. They REFUSE to provide any explanation and stated I could not verbally ask for any kinds of documents, they stated they couldnt talk to me about this debt until I validated what it was for and I acknowledged the debt without knowing a single thing. This account is not only extremely fraudulent, a complete lie, but was also submitted to collections WITHIN illegal period during COVID 19. They have accused me of being in a lease with NO EVIDENCE. This company did nothing but threaten me, ignore facts, and then send me to collections regardless of all the laws broken and facts showing this isnt mine. Not to mention my boyfriend was also on this lease, we left together, we had a co-signer, yet I am the only one having to deal with this. This collector stated every day I owe more interest and late fees on this account, which is also illegal.

Iq Data contacted me on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX about collecting a payment from an apartment complex for an outstanding balance that doesn't even have 10 days of being posted and in which I had questions about and never received answers from the leasing office despite the multiple attempts to talk to them just for an explanation. The agent from Iq Data asked me to pay for this debt in full on that first call, and expected me to give her my sensitive payment information when I wasn't aware of a due date and I was never informed by the apartment complex or the agency that this debt was transferred over to Iq Data for collection. This agent at Iq Data threaten me that if I didn't pay this debt in full the same day I was going to incurred interests, and that it was going to get reported on my credit and that it was going to affect me from refinancing and doing anything with my credit. I was very confused and scared about this call and so I hang up. I called the apartment complex later that same day to verify and they provided me the agency name and contact information so I called a second time in the day asking for what legal procedures they took to notify me about this debt since I never received a statement with a due date on it nor any notification that this account was getting transfer over to collections. She told me that the apartment complex and the agency " mailed it out '' to my new address which I am sure it is not true. I never received anything in the mail. and she told me it was not their problem and that they didn't have to send anything by law. Since I was asking for more information, she got upset that I was challenging her with my consumer rights on this, and how I thought this was illegal. She started raising her voice and not letting me explain anything back to her so she hangs up on me. I finally called them a second time and submitted payment because I do not want anything reported on my credit. However, I certainly feel this is not the proper procedure and treatment for anyone. I also feel they have follow proper written communications guidelines with due dates and consequences explained to protect consumers of unfair and abusive practices.

In XXXX I had an account transferred to the collection agency known as IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted IQ DATA and requested a copy of the contract. I was told a contract was sent to me, the contract was sent to a previous address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, LA. Therefore I never received the copy of the contract, I asked the agent on XX/XX/XXXX for a copy of the contract and he asked why I needed it. I stated I needed a copy of the contract because I would like to see the amount of interest and fees that is being added to the account. I was told by the agent to send a letter which I did and I have yet to receive a contract. The agent by the name of XXXX stated to me that the agency will not continue to send me a contract even though I never received the original contract, his exact words were " Were not going to keep sending you contracts because by law we don't have to ''. I am aware that under the FDCPA I am entitled to verification of the debt by validation with a statement or contract and IQ DATA is refusing to abide by that rule. The company states all calls are recorded therefore they should clearly be able to hear that the agent XXXX is repeatedly asking me why I need the contract and stating he doesn't have to show me why or how much interest is being charged. I simply asked for the copy of the contract from the original debt collector and a statement of fees and interest added an I was refused that right which I am entitled to, I have no verification of this debt from this company and they are refusing to provide me verification. I have a witness who over heard the phone call who would be willing to testify on my behalf that agent XXXX refused my request. I am enclosing the final letter I sent to IQ DATA and all of the letters I have sent to the bureaus concerning verification of this debt. XXXX is repeatedly stating I am not writing my own letters to dispute the failure of IQ DATA to provide verification of the debt I hereby stating under penalty or perjury that I have been the sole writer of every dispute to sent to XXXX and any collection agency.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the collection agency ( IQ Data International Inc. ) about an undated amount for my debt. I had went back and forth with the original creditor to get an updated amount because of previous negotiations. They collection agency gave me the updated about and continued to negotiate a pay-to-delete for XXXX. They stated that if I wasnt able to pay the balance by XX/XX/XXXX to call them and let them know. I agreed. I called back not 10 minutes later and told them that this agreement wasnt going to work. And they countinued to pressure me to ask family members and collect it somehow by the XXXX. I agreed and was told that if I can not make the payment by the XXXX, to call them and they would cancel the pay-to-delete and we would go to a payment plan. I agreed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid on the account {$1000.00} leaving a remaining balance of {$2300.00}. From that time till now, I have tried to come up with the money but things happened in our personal life and we werent able to pay the balance, even taking out a loan. In this amount of time I called the collection agency twice and the line went dead. I dont know if it was my phone or theres. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I am called by the agency and from the start they attacked me for not paying. I tried to explain my situation and tried to get on a payment plan but they continued to ask where my money is going and being very unprofessional. She continued to say things like my amount could go up and that this would put some type of hurt on my credit. I asked for a manager and the manager was even worst with being unprofessional and yelling at me. I felt attacked from the moment I answered the phone so I reacted how they reacted and nothing really got resolved. I just found it really disturbing that at XXXX, I am being called and yelled at and questioned left and right. And from my phone records, this has been the first time they even tried to call me. That is harassment. They have recorded lines, so you should be able to here my frustration. This has effected me and my fianc emotionally, and it is a debt on both our accounts.

My lease was ended early by XXXX at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Texas due to 9-10 raccoons being in the roof which caused the roof to sink in with XXXX and XXXX. I was getting physically sick and saw a doctor 3 times. I called the Department of Environmental Health myself as XXXX at XXXX XXXX was not taking my claims seriously. The Department of Health did write a report that I have attached that there was XXXX and XXXX stains in the roof and even declared that it was all over the property making it hazardous as you will see in the documents ( they attached pictures but it was too big for this file, please let me know if I can send another way ). I had never paid rent late with XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I always paid on the XXXX of the month, and even when I was laid off due to COVID, I still paid rent on time, as I have always paid rent on time everywhere I have lived. I paid up until the day my lease was ended by them, XX/XX/XXXX, which was XXXX weeks short of a year with them ; I even paid the utility bill after it was sent to me after I had already left. XXXX at XXXX XXXX ended my lease and told me they would find me a new unit, and kept pushing the date back, and it went on for over XXXX weeks, knowing that I was getting sick and I wasn't sleeping. I was very scared for my health as the raccoons were getting more active due to the weather getting cooler. I decided to move to another place, and had no more obligation to stay at XXXX at XXXX XXXX due to the lease ending for apartment XXXX. I made a payment of {$420.00} to honor the days I was there up until the lease ended. XXXX at XXXX XXXX sent the amount for a full month of rent plus charges to a collection agency, XXXX XXXX international. I spoke to a representative, XXXX XXXX, at IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX who tried to insult my intelligence and became aggressively angry with me on the phone, and threatened that I would not be able to move on with my life as he was shouting it at me. After our call I notice an additional charge was added. I believe he tampered with the amount due to his anger and unprofessionalism.

A collection agency called IQ DATA INT'L INC ( XXXX XXXX XXXX WA XXXX XXXX ) placed for collection a charge of {XXXX} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Georgia ( original creditor ) on XX/XX/XXXX. They sent several letters and repeated calls to me and my family, they did not stop until I wrote to them asking them to stop. However, they placed this onmy XXXX XXXX credit report. I noticed this on XX/XX/XXXX as I was trying to apply for some credit. Since, XXXX of XXXX, I have filed a fraud report with the FTC and the CFPB. Have not heard anything from either agency regarding my case. Back to the crux of the matter, WE called IQ DATA in XXXX XXXX and asked them what we needed to do. A very respectful man XXXX XXXX told us to mail documentation to IQ DATA verifying my place of residence during the fraudulent charger, who used the the name XXXX XXXX not me XXXX XXXXXXXX to navigate their fraudulent account at this apartment complex. I did this, I mailed the documentation w/ proof of residency, drivers lis proving AGAIN my address which was not in Georgia . So, it is NOW XXXX and WE have not heard anything from IQ DATA INT'L. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX. Mr.XXXX proceeded to say to me " so why don't you just pay the XXXX bill '', the nerve of this person to assume I was the fraudulent person before IQ DATA even completed their " investigation ''. He next proceeded in a very unprofessional manner to tell me these investigations take 2, 3 and even 6 months. If this is the kind of people IQ DATA employees WOW I guess the fraudulent account from XXXX will never come off my report. I was living in XXXX XXXX Florida during the dates the fraud ( person ) was living under my identity in Georgia, It stated that on the copy of the lease I sent to IQ DATA and on my drivers Lis and a utility bill. The fact of the matter is my identity was stolen and IQ DATA keeps trying to implicate me as the fraudulent person. When the facts clearly prove otherwise. Perhaps, I should ask my attorney to get involved, because I'm sure with the evidence in hand any judge would see the FACTS.

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, XXXX making this complaint against IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL for committing identity theft. I have NEVER given IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL any type of permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt theyre claiming I owe. I am fully aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). I have NEVER received any type of documentation requesting validation from IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL what so ever before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL is in complete violation by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) in which the FTC defines as debt parking. If IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report Ill have reason to believe that this account has been a fraudulently furnished with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant XXXX XXXX. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

I moved out of the apartment in question on XX/XX/XXXX. I returned the keys and was told that I would receive my security deposit back minus any fees within 30 days. I never heard anything from them but the deposit was low and I had moved out of state so did not try to obtain this back through small claims. XX/XX/XXXX, IQ Data international added a collection account for this rental property to my credit reports with the amount of {$810.00}, plus fees totaling {$1000.00} which has further increased to {$1000.00}. It states it had been an open account since XX/XX/XXXX. Now according to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a rental property has 30 days to furnish to the tenant a written itemized list of the damages for which the security deposit or any portion thereof is withheld, along with the balance of the security deposit. The landlord shall have complied with this subsection by mailing such statement and any payment to the last known address of the tenant. This never accorded. To this day, I have never received any notification of anything from the property or collection agency. Therefore they have both violated XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 30 days would have been XX/XX/XXXX. It has now been XXXX days since I returned the keys, it was XXXX days between moving out and this account being opened and XXXX days until it showed up on my credit report and I was aware of it. I have not received any communication regarding this debt. I have disputed it with all three credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to no avail. I have not been able to get in contact with IQ Data International but tried on XX/XX/XXXX by phone. In addition to this, IQ Data International have misspelled my name. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX but they have spelled it XXXX XXXX XXXX. So this is not even me but they have added this weird name to my report. All in all I have no idea why I have this collections and it is in violation to the law so needs to be removed. XXXX properties incorrectly sold it as they never notified me of anything within the allowed 30 days. Again, this is a violation of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I was living in an apartment complex called XXXX XXXX. I had been there 3 years when I began having trouble with an upstairs neighbor. I have XXXX and she was barbequing frequently in front of my apartment patio. This was in violation of complex policy which required 10 feet away from the building. i could not confront her about this because she was hostile to any complaints made about her by any of the other residents. Complaints to management went poorly as management changes personnel about every two or three month. I would file a complaint, they would tell her to stop and a week later she was doing it again. Then a friend of hers starting parking his car outside my apartment at night and turn his radio up full blast ; turn on his high beam to flood my bedroom. Wait for me to get up and then drive away. I complained about this too and told them It was effecting my health severely. Again, no further action was taken by the management. Then she got into an argument with an elderly neighbor across from her. The next day that woman was found dead. Then she beat up her son in front of my apartment and I called the police on her. Then she had XXXX XXXX and management treated her unit but not anyone else 's. I was forced to treat my own unit at my own expense. When I informed them I could not live under these conditions they did nothing to work with me about resolving the problem.. It seems since she was a XXXX XXXX resident and I was not ; she had preference to stay there. I oved out owing 3 months rent on my lease. Since then I have filed disputes with them and with the collection agency ; which is not in my state of Missouri. I find now, that that agency, I Q Data International in XXXX Washington is adding interest charges to this account. It was originally {$1000.00} but is up to {$1300.00} in the space of two months. This has ruined my credit score more then XXXX points. I feel the apartment failed to honor the contract long before I did. And they waited three years to turn it in to collections. The management company is XXXX XXXX

On XXXX/XXXX/2022, I called IQ Data International after receiving a letter in the mail saying that it may be possible to negotiate settling my outstanding accounts at a very favorable discount. That evening, I received XXXX letters confirming in writing that if I paid a total sum of {$10000.00} by XXXX/XXXX/2022, that my XXXX outstanding accounts would be settled in full and that IQ Data International would request deletion of any negative information supplied to any credit bureaus regarding these accounts. I was provided the account information to make a wire transfer and sent the full {$10000.00} owed on XXXX/XXXX/2022. I immediately sent the transfer receipt with confirmation number to XXXX XXXX, the operations XXXX who had sent me the agreements. XXXX did not acknowledge receiving the transfer receipt, so I sent the receipt again on XX/XX/2022 to both of her e-mail addresses listed in her signature. I then proceeded to call the agent I had spoken to on the phone, XXXX, who told me that they had just received the funds from the transfer and my end of day I would have confirmation. On XXXX/XXXX/2022, I was sent two letters confirming payment was received in full for both of my account, settling the account and releasing me from further liability regarding obligations to the original creditor. It also reiterated that IQ Data International would request deletion of any negative information supplied to any credit bureaus regarding this account. On XXXX/XXXX/2022, my XXXX credit history was updated to show that I still owed {$780.00} on one of the accounts. XXXX and XXXX credit histories continue to show that I owe the full balance and do not acknowledge that the accounts have been settled. On XX/XX/2022 I sent a copy of the XXXX report and the letter from IQ Data International stating my account was settled in full to XXXX XXXX, requesting an investigation into the matter and corrective action to remove the negative information from all three reports and update the account as settled in full. No response has been received.

I was contacted on XXXX by I Q International. When I spoke with the rep he was very verbally abusive. He stated that I need to pay the amount in full and that they do not accept any type of payment arrangements. I told im i did not have the XXXX he then stated why was I calling him and wasting their time. However, I did not call them. He then stated they were going to negatively affect my credit. I decided to take a moment to calm down and call back on XXXX. When I got a rep on a phone I stated what happened the day before and that I had questions. He stated they do but they do not make payment arrangements. He advised me first I need to apply for a loan from a third party to pay them in full. He stated I need to do this with a co-signer because of my credit was bad. I personally do not think this was any of his business to ask me that kind of information. He then went on to state that if I was denied I need to send them that information and then they will talk about payment arrangements. I have never heard of a company that collects debt dealing the way they are and find it not right as well as abusive and intrusive to personal business that they should not be asking. They have degraded me and made me feel as if im am being bullied in to applying for a loan I know I can not get or a loan that is going to cost me well over what my normal debt is. I asked if they will provide any paper work stating I am making payments as i already know i will not be able to get as I do not have a co-signer or the credit score to obtain such a loan. He then stated that they do not give any type of paper stating I am paying so I can try and get another apartment and show I am working to pay that debt off. I'm not sure if this is a legit way of doing business with people or if this is a complete scam. My next move is to open a lawsuit since I can not even get the correct information or any type of document showing im paying or what they are saying is true. Its not okay to treat people in this way when they are trying to pay.

Account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ) IQ data All 3 collection services have incorrect information which I keep trying to dispute and it clearly isnt working The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., governs access to consumer credit report records and promotes accuracy, fairness, and the privacy of personal information assembled by Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ). A CRA is an entity that assembles and sells credit information and financial information about individuals. See 15 U.S.C. 1681u ( a ), ( b ). The Act eliminated the requirement of a nexus to a foreign power or its agents and instead requires that the information sought be relevant for various national security investigations to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities. See 1681u. The Act also broadened other federal agencies access to consumer reports. Section 1681v obligates CRAs to provide consumer information and reports to a federal agency authorized to conduct investigations of, or intelligence or counterintelligence activities or analysis related to, international terrorism. Senior federal agency officials are empowered to issue a certification that the information is necessary for the agencys conduct or such investigation, activity, or analysis. See 1681v ( a ) & ( b ). Upon certification that disclosure to the subject would impair national security or interfere with an investigation, the entity providing the information is not permitted to disclose to the subject or others ( except counsel and those necessary to comply with the request ) that the government agency sought the credit report. See 1681v ( c ). State and local law enforcement within fusion centers often work in conjunction with the FBI or other federal officials to seek consumer reports pursuant to either 1681u or 1681v authority. If 1681u or 1681v is not utilized or applicable, consumer credit information may be obtained by seeking a court order or subpoena as authorized at 1681b.

On Friday XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX time I spoke with XXXX XXXX at IQ Data in regards to my account. During our conversation as I asked more questions for clarity, she told me I was refusing to pay after I stated several times that I would continue to make my payments by the XXXX, but just did not know the amount yet. I asked if I could call back by the end of the month prior to my due date to confirm a payment. When I said this she launched into derogatory dialogue, indicating that I owed them {$6000.00} ; previous representatives indicated that my bill was only {$3000.00} ; and continued to used abusive language as she berated me and was verbally abusive. After XXXX 's abusive language ended she stated " I am noting your account as refusal to pay '' and ended the call. I have been paying on this account for close to a year ( over {$1000.00} has been paid to date ), but due to lack of work I was seeking to understand what a minimal payment would be for this month of XX/XX/2023. Lastly, when I asked if I could receive information in writing XXXX XXXX said " No, this is not something they do ''. I believe this collection company has violated my rights under 15 USC 1681. And I believe should be removed from all of my credit reports. IQ DATA has violated my rights. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A.

I contacted the leasing office at the apartment complex regarding flooding in my apartment that was due to their pressure washing service. They refused to pay for XXXX of dollars of damage, which resulted in a loss of clothes and shoes for my clothing boutique. Because I involved my attorneys, the collection agency ( IQ Data ) assessed fines. The amount listed by the collection agency is not the amount that I was told that I owed. I made payments on the balance each month and was notified in XXXX that it had been sent to collections. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the list of accounts below have violated my federally protected consumer rights to fair debt collection practices and privacy and confidentially under 15 U.S.C Ch 41 Subchapter V 1692f ( IQ Data ).

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I found out that XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX sent me to collections at IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN license number NMLS # XXXX and they reported on my wife and my credit report that we were delinquent and owed an amount of {$3100.00}. I immediately called them and asked them what this was for since I had never received a bill. They sent over a bill to me within one hour of talking to them. Once I received the bill I saw there were fees on there that should not be being charged nor had they given me the opportunity to even pay it before they sent to collections. As soon as the area manager got involved she acknowledged that there were some charges on the bill that were inaccurate and she told me via email on XX/XX/XXXX that this account has been removed from collection and would be removed from my credit report. In the meantime she finished her accounting and came up with a bill that we both agreed upon. She gave us one week to get the payment sent in or it will be put back on my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX received and cashed the check within one week and they confirmed via email it was received. However, it is still on my credit reporting and it is affecting my wife and i financially to be able to obtain and secure a home loan and all the while interest rates are going up due to the delay in getting this erroneous credit reporting which in turn will end up costing me thousands of extra dollars due to the negligence of this companys s ill will reporting to my wife and my credit report. Not only that interest rates have now gone up and it is going to affect my overall monthly payments on my new home loan when I get approved now. All my rent payments were made on time and I have proof of this. I am also attaching documents showing that IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL , INC. license number NMLS # XXXX is not even licensed in Michigan to collect consumer ( s ) rents. At this point I need help from the CFPB to intervene and investigate this company.

XXXX XXXX XXXX and IQ International Data is falsely trying to collect {$880.00} after move out. I was a former tenant of XXXX XXXX XXXX as a sublet to a previous tenant, XXXX XXXX, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. After move out, we did not receive our deposit of {$590.00} back from the property that was previously managed by XXXX XXXX. Per California civil code 1950.5 ; Landlords will need to provide an itemized statement of any additional fees and/or the security deposit within 21 days of move out ( https : //leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml? lawCode=CIV & sectionNum=1950.5 ). We did not receive either information. I sent out a certified letter requesting said information to XXXX XXXX XXXX but could not get a response as the manager did not check the mail and the letter was returned back to me. I am now, in XXXX receiving a mark on my credit report indicating there is a left over balance of {$880.00} from IQ International debt collection agency, exclaiming I am the sole leasee and only responsible for this debt. Can you please confirm whether or not previous management sent out a full letter explaining all extra charges and deposit allocation addressed to me, XXXX XXXX. The information I received from IQ was a charge of {$790.00} but does not include the deposit of {$590.00} that should have been used had there been any additional charges. Furthermore, the debt collector IQ Data on a recorded call in XX/XX/XXXX, told me that my address was not updated with the United States Postal Service but I am attaching proof that I did update my address for XX/XX/XXXX, and all my other mail was correctly forwarded except the letter from XXXX which I believe a move out statement was never created or even mailed. I reached out to XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and was told by XXXX they don't see any info on my account. Attached is proof of the updated address and proof of my letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX and the letter that was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX with dates attached.

IQ Data International , Inc sent me a letter stating that they are trying to collect a debt in the amount of {$300.00}. I immediately wrote them back disputing the alleged debt on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked IQ Data International , Inc to validate the alleged debt and to stop any and all collection activities pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I never received the response that I'm entitled to by law, instead on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX I received a call from XXXX from IQ Data International , Inc. He informed me that the call was an attempt to collect a debt. I informed XXXX that I sent a debt validation letter and I have not received a response. XXXX confirmed that IQ Data International , Inc received the letter and did not respond to it. XXXX stated that it was " just a debt verification letter '' and proceeded to ask me who my employer was. He continuously ignored my request to be contacted by mail only, instead, he repeatedly asked me to verify my phone number for future calls. IQ Data International , Inc has XXXX respect for the law and is in clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Validation of Debts 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) Disputed debts " If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ''. IQ Data International , Inc made no attempt to validate this alleged debt to ensure it was accurate or if it belonged to me, instead they violated the FDCPA with their debt collection harassment.

I was contacted about one account from an apartment that I paid off, and as soon as I paid it they attached an account that I was not associated with for an additional {$610.00}. I told him I didnt owe that, my name was not on that account, and they need to remove it off of my credit. They refused to, stating that they knew that I lived at the apartment ( even though my name was never on the lease ). Im not even sure if that is legal to attach a debt I was never connected to because the account holder was a girlfriend at the time. Because I need to move, I wanted it off of my credit. I asked that it be removed off my credit and whomever the account was associated with, and was transferred to the operations manager, XXXX XXXX, who immediately was loud, abusive, and rude, stating that he was sending a letter of deletion for both parties as a courtesy and if I did not tell him what card I was paying with, and if I didnt pay he would disconnect the call, and I would be free to call back and pay without getting the account deleted. The second I told him I had already planned to pay and told not only him but his other coworker who manage my account that I was paying and just wanted to get the letter, he continue to cut me off and yell. The second I told him I would give him my card information he immediately changed his tune, took my information, and immediately hung up. I understand that collections can be seedy at times and dealing with the public that owes debts can be frustrating but I have dealt with not only him, but other account managers being EXTREMELY rude right off the bat. I have been threatened multiple times that my credit would suffer if I did not pay the full amounts. I am beyond livid that I wasnt even given the courtesy of a civil conversation and I am essentially being backed into a wall and forced to pay them money I should not be responsible for. This is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with and I dont know how they are still in business.

On XX/XX/XXXX after XXXX we were called by XXXX XXXX requesting for us to make a payment of an alleged damaged that they claim we did. We made clear to them that those damages ( picture of damages attached ) were not made by us and that we were not intended of making any sort of payment. They said that if a payment was not made that they were going to report us to collection. That was the end of that phone call. Days after the call with XXXX XXXX in which we made clear that those damages were not made by us and that we weren't planning on paying, they decided to call not only me, but my husband and my daughters requesting for us to make a payment. One that was never made and led this to reach collection. The first letter received by I.Q Data International Inc. was on XX/XX/XXXX ( letter attached ). On that letter they included the amount that was being reported, one of {$1200.00} with a {$31.00} of interest with a total of {$1200.00}. Same letter provided a section ( no longer on the attachment ) to cut and send back. On that part we selected that we were disputing the charges and requesting more information. ( Attached letter send to them disputing the charges ) The letter was send on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and according to the tracking number the letter arrived to the destination on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. Almost a month later we receive a second letter from them ( letter attached ) on XX/XX/XXXX in which they are requesting a payment. Ignoring and disregarding completely the letter that we sent that we were disputing the charge. They did not only ignored our petition but failed to respond on a timely manner and did not provide any proof and verification of the debt. Not only that but I.Q International Inc charged us more interest, than the first letter, with a total now of {$1200.00}. At this point it seems that they are not willing to take us serious and that they won't provide the minimum to confirm such debt that they claim were made by us.

I moved out of my apartment, The XXXX managed by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I overpaid them by {$620.00} because the office staff would not tell me the total amount owed before rent was due on the 1st and I did not want to make a late payment. After the final walk through where NO damages were found, they told me I would receive a refund within 3 to 4 weeks after moving out. When I did not receive a refund I called the XXXX apartment office multiple times and no one answered. I left multiple voicemails. I then contacted my bank, XXXX XXXX, and sent them the documents showing the amount I owed the XXXX apartment for XXXX rent and my bank agreed I was owed a refund. My bank tried contacting them multiple times over a period of 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, my bank refunded me the {$620.00} that I overpaid. XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX a debt collections company called me from XXXX and said that I owed the apartment the {$620.00} that my bank refunded me. I explained to them the situation and that I did not owe the money and that they could contact the bank who legally refunded me since the apartment did not. They claimed that it was " my opinion '' and demanded to know what documents I had to support that proof. I told them I had documents from the XXXX apartment stating how much I owed and they completely ignored me and kept stating it was " my opinion and not fact. '' The same debt collections company contacted me again on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and then again on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX harassing me, demanding to know why I hadn't paid it yet. I explained to them multiple times that I did not owe the apartments any money and that the apartments are committing fraud by claiming the money as debt. I also told them to stop harassing me. Today I found out that they reported it to the credit bureaus and it went against my credit history. After disputing this with you I will be filing a complaint with the attorney general 's office for the fraud they are committing.

I got a phone call from IQ Data International in an attempt to collect a debt this morning XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX regarding a {$250.00} charge that I owed to XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was a resident at XXXX ( Located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ca XXXX ) for a period of 13 months, and moved out on XX/XX/2020. According to IQ Data international, I owe {$250.00} to XXXX and now my account has been sent to IQ Data to be collected. I had already contacted the XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX management about this matter on XX/XX/XXXX asking them to call me back because I disputed the charges and did not understand the charges. XXXX has wrongfully charged me for 1 day extra on that bill, claiming they did not get the keys from me until XX/XX/2020. Also, they claim that I have not returned all keys to them so there is a lost key charge ( {$50.00} ). There are some additional charges on the account that I was never told and I never agreed on when I had the manager over for the final walk through of my apartment. XXXX management has changed multiple times during my 13 months stay, and there is always a mismanagement of that place. XXXX owes me {$1500.00} for a client referral and has not paid me as of today. They referred my account to IQ Data International and this company called me this morning and the guys were super abusive on the phone. They were yelling and threatening me to pay or they will hit my credit asap. I told the guy I disagree with the charges and I am disputing and he started raising his voice and started became very hostile and abusive. Then I asked for a manager and XXXX came on the line and he was even worse than the first guy. Raising his voice yelling and threatening he will hit my credit and I must pay now. I told him I will be going to the XXXX to resolve the issue and he said they wont see me or they wont talk to me, which was not true. I went in and tried to talk to the new manager and they are gon na look into my case.

I feel that no one is taking serious this situation, I begging the CFPB to please take care of this matter, on Mon XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX XXXX I Q Data received a certified letter # XXXXwith a Cease and Desist and an Affidavit of truth marking all the violations they committed. In one of the letters I asked to cease and desist all forms of communication with through any and all mediums, I asked to delete and zero out the accounts from any consumer reports, and to pay the invoice for every violation they committed, I gave them a 30 days period, Its been 30 days and they still reporting the alleged debt, and they have not responded with my requested remedy. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection ( c ) Ceasing communication They should not have any communications through any mediums and they should cease and desist the mentioned activity. If we look at the The term communication means the conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. ( They still conveying information regarding the debt through all the Consumer reporting Agencies ) They are on violation. which is not even included in the invoice that I sent them previously. Another violation they committed from the beginning is which is not in the invoice either, 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection ( a ) Communication with the consumer generally. I never gave I Q Data a written consent to even communicate with me about this alleged debt, No consent is Identity Theft. I'm feeling very frustrated and very XXXX out about this situation, I have to literally no sleep because I have been dealing with this, and I feel they are going to cause me receiving further injury damages, mental anguish, and looses due to me being a victim of identity theft. They are in default of the cease and desist and affidavit of truth I sent them, HOW CAN SOMEONE REBUT AN AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH?

Moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) after giving my 60-day notice. Upon turning in the keys, I requested to be present for walk-through. No notice was ever given of when this would be. 2 weeks after moving out, I receive a collection agency letter stating I owed approximately {$140.00} and that they hoped I had enjoyed my stay at XXXX XXXX and that I had received notice from the apartments about my past due amount. I NEVER received a move out walk-thru notice from the apartments!!!! And keep in mind this is only 2 weeks after I moved out!! So where would be the time to pay them even if I HAD received a bill from them? They had already sent it to collections! I paid a visit to the office after receiving the collection agency notice and XXXX, the receptionist, went in the back, spoke with someone there, said I only owed them about {$96.00}. I requested this in writing and she said the manager would call me the next day. That never happened. I don't feel I owe them any money since I never got the walk-thru I requested and I never signed the walk-thru. I was given 3 different amounts of what I supposedly owed and after contacting the management company, who referred me to the regional manager, I was sent an email with a detailed list of move out fees I supposedly owed and it is close to {$500.00} this time! She said in the email that now I would have to deal with the collection agency since it had already been turned over to them. OMG, I have never been treated this XXXX by an apartment complex in my life! I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me!!! I would appreciate any and all help with this matter. In my opinion, consumers should get to dispute these collection agency letters BEFORE they are sent to the credit companies. It's not fair that I have a negative item on my credit report for something I don't owe. XXXX only upped the amount on the report, didn't even bother to investigate this. Thank you.

The debt company that was trying to collect a " debt '' from my wife and I, is IQ Data International In. They started calling us back in XXXX and XXXX demanding that we pay a debt of {$310.00}, that we owed to an apartment establishment we were renting from prior. I told them we have never received a letter or notification about this after moving out. I asked what the charges were for and they explained to me it was for unpaid utilities. I went back and forth with the employee for 30 minutes about how all the utilities except electric was included into the rent. He began to tell me that, that's not how rent and utilities work and that I had back charges. I let him know again that the utilities were included in the monthly rent and all he kept saying was we needed to pay or it will be sent to collections. I then told him the XXXX XXXX sent us a check for our XXXX and asked why that happened if we owed them anything. He could not answer and kept telling me if we didn't pay, the amount is going into collection. After a week passed since talking to someone for IQ Data, I received a notification on my phone saying that my credit score has changed and that there is an account in collections. This was XX/XX/2022. I then submitted a dispute on this account on XX/XX/2022. I called IQ Data and asked for a dispute hotline and was given an email. The investigation was completed on XX/XX/2022. The only results I gotten back was " XXXX investigated your dispute but did not change your information '' and I was left back at square one. Upon filing a dispute through XXXX XXXX, I also sent an email that was provided to me by an IQ Data employee. I sent the email on XX/XX/2022 with multiple attachments of my rental history/payments. All which were provided to my the leasing office of the apartment I rented from. It showed everything I was paying and at the bottom of the document, it showed all the last charges from the last month I lived there.

In the state of Florida a collection agency can not charge interest on a debt without it clearly stating so in an original contract. I have sent several letters to IQ Data notifying that they are damaging my credit by charging very high rates of interest month over month then I noticed that they were stating that they were collecting a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so I thought that this maybe the result of identity theft. I contacted XXXX at XXXX who has notified me that the account actually belong to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I then advised her that the information sent to me does not match whats listed on my credit report and there is no clause stating they can charge me these high interest rates she the proceeded to hang up the phone on me. I called back in and spoke to XXXX XXXX and requested to speak to a supervisor and she advised they were all in a meeting and proceeded to transfer me to XXXX who proceeds to hang up on me every time I request pertinent information about the account which I feel is a violation of my rights. Today XX/XX/2021 I advised her I had a consultation with an attorney to confirm that under Florida debt collection practices if they are allowed to do what they have been doing i have not hired an attorney I just have had consult with one and she rudely told me to stop harassing IQ data and to have an attorney call them on my behalf and XXXX. I am under the impression that I am entitled to an accurate and fair credit reporting and I feel IQ Data is defaming my good name and credit profile. I would like for it to be noticed that the balance listed is inaccurately reporting, the name is inaccurate for the original creditor, and I am being charged an extremely high interest rate on this debt. Please see screen shot of balances reporting for the month of XXXX the same month the " validated the debt '' the balance is listed incorrectly due to constant interest being added.

IQ Data International was employed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida to attempt to collect a debt owed by whom they thought was me. I filed a police report in XXXX which I will attach below to demonstrate this ongoing problem and after reviewing numerous evidence at the department, the individual who was using my identity was actually XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a caucasian male. They altered the picture on my drivers license and were using a fake California address. Detective XXXX XXXX of the XXXX XXXX Police Department is happy to speak with any parties necessary as well. Furthermore, IQ Data International mailed me a fraud packet which came 1-2 weeks late and I filled out and returned the necessary information and then more. I followed up today and they stated they mailed another fraud packet on XX/XX/XXXX to my address, however, they stated they never received my initially returned packet well over a month ago. I had a return address on the envelope and I never received the mail back, therefore, it exists somewhere in their hands or more shady actors. This was deeply personal information to prove my true identity and they just blew it off stating they never received anything and to start over. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX was beyond faulty and potentially criminal initiating this lease as they did not run my credit as my credit is frozen with all three bureaus and distributed a false lease under my name. How this occurred and oversight was not utilized is deeply chilling and then employing a collection agency with similar behavior to drop the ball just exacerbates everything. Detective XXXX XXXX is going to have to subpoena the apartment complex and potentially the collection agency as they have not been cooperative. The issue is I live in Illinois and my identity in this instance was stolen in Florida and different legal jurisdiction has to be involved to pursue the issue.

I have been working tirelessly to improve my credit and provide a better living situation for me and my children, despite having difficulties with collection agencies reporting false information to credit bureaus. Collection agency IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL has been falsely reporting to XXXX credit bureau since XX/XX/XXXX. My credit report states that my balance owed is {$16000.00} and that my original balance is XXXX. The balance amount constantly increasing. The original creditor is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is the name stated on the lease signed. Apparently they are going by multiple names because the name mentioned on court documentsXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, is not the company I signed my lease with. I signed a rental agreement on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I moved in a week later because I was told the building management had to move some else furniture into my apartment temporarily because the person 's apartment was not ready yet and they had nowhere to put their belongings. I was never compensated for this like I was told. This account is reporting the wrong balance owed. I have court documentation giving to me at court on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I owed {$3500.00} plus {$310.00} in attorney fees. As stated in a document I signed on XX/XX/XXXX I agreed to leave the apartment by XX/XX/XXXX, and I vacated as agreed. I also included this agreement signed on XX/XX/XXXX, a copy of the first and last page of my lease showing the {$1500.00} amount I paid for a security deposit that was not returned to me, and my balance was not adjusted to show it was applied to the amount I owed, and I also included with these documents to XXXX Credit bureau and IQ DATA International a copy of the cashiers check I paid to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( the original creditor ) towards my security deposit. The amount reported is again incorrect and this account should be removed.

Date : Thursday XX/XX/2022 Time : XXXX EST Duration : XXXX Minutes Company : XXXX. Data Number Called : XXXX Details : My phone call started with an IQ Data representative -- can't recall her name, but she was very nice and professional. She presented XXXX payment options : the first was to pay in full ( {$5800.00} ), and then they would remove the account from reporting ; the second was to pay 80 % of the debt ( {$4600.00} ) and it would show as a paid settlement. I informed her that neither of these worked for me right now due to my current financial, unfortunately, so I would just have to ride it out and see if my financial flexibility improved. She said she understood and suggested that I speak to her manager, as they might be able to present a better option. I was then connected to XXXX XXXX, who was quite rude and very aggressive. Once again, he presented the same two options : pay in full, or pay 80 %. The option I presented to them, paying about 40 % of the debt, did not work for them, so I said I understood that 'they had to do what they had to do ' -- meaning they had to stick with their offer and not accept a reduced offer. However, Mr. XXXX replied quite rudely and asked me 'do you really want me to do what I have to do? This will get ugly and cost you a lot more money when we take you to court or put a lien against your income. You just provided updated information to us about your address, income, etc ... .so now we have all the information we need to 'do what we have to do '. I told him I had about $ XXXX that I could pay today to resolve the account. He asked 'Where 'd you get that money? If you saved up that money once, I don't see why you can't save up the rest '. I flat out told him he was being rude and making grand assumptions about my financial standing. Seeing that we could not come to a resolution, we ended the call shortly after that.

To whom it may concern, I am writing this complaint against the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I Q Data International Inc., referring to a debt charged to me, including a debt collection in my name. I point out the facts below : 1. I had an apartment rental contract with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX beginning on XX/XX/2022 and ending on XX/XX/2022, i.e. a sixty days ( 2 months ) lease term, as per the attachment XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I filled and pay in full until the ending date. 2. Furthmore, I gave to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a written Non-Renew Lease notice XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) days in advance, as per the attachment Non-Renewal Advanced Notice.pdf. 3. After I left the apartment, I started to receive some phone calls from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I Q International Data as well as e-mails and a letter charging me a debt, which I do not recognize. Please refer to the attachment Letter from XXXX. 4. I answered them that a sixty days notice in advance for a non-renewal communication is impracticable, Not Possible, Impossible, because the contract is a XXXX days lease. Reading the contract, these 60 days notice in advance would be considered as an early termination, which also makes no sense.

I am writing to file a complaint against a collection agency, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX Credit Bureaus regarding reporting inaccurate information and providing fraudulent credit information. This disputehas been filed 4 times for a Collection Item from [ IQ Data International ] This is inaccurate because, the amount listed as a debt was paid in full to the original creditor ( XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have included a copy of the Move Out Statement from the original creditor dated XX/XX/XXXX that shows a balance of {$0.00}. I am requesting that this item be removed from my file. This is also inaccurate because, the balance owed of {$570.00} listed is wrong, as this was paid in full to the original creditor on XX/XX/XXXX. This is also inaccurate because XXXX XXXX has reported different amounts to the bureau weekly over 6 times between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This amount should not be changed. I have forwarded the following documentation to the entities listed above to supporting my claim : 1. Letter to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. 2. Move Out Statement- Provided by the original creditor upon my move out. Listing the full payment of the amount owed of {$1100.00} dated on XX/XX/XXXX. I am requesting this be removed from my credit file or changed to reflect correct information. 3. Resident Ledger-Provided by the original creditor showing a corrected balance listed XX/XX/XXXX. This was sold to XXXX XXXX as a debt 2 months after the move out statement was provided with {$0.00} balance owed. I am requesting this be removed from my credit file or changed to reflect correct information. 4. XXXX Credit reporting- XXXX XXXX XXXX stated I paid the collection amount in full to them and have a {$0.00} balance. This is fraudulent. I have not paid any amount to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection Agency.

I.Q. Data International , Inc. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX I received my certified letter requesting validation of the following accounts : RE : XXXX ( account number ) They are attempting to collect on these accounts. Although, they never responded. Under the Finance Code for my state, the debt collection agency has thirty ( 30 ) calendar days to respond to a debt validation request. All debt collectors operating in this state must be able to verify, or " validate, '' any debt on which they are attempting to collect payment. Georgia Finance Code Section 392.202 requires a debt collection agency or credit bureau to provide the alleged debtor with specific information concerning their debt including but not limited to : The name of the original creditor The original date of default or non-payment of the debt The date the debt was transferred from the original creditor to the third party debt collector The original balance The current balance XXXX XXXX information If a debt collector has failed to respond to your debt validation request, then they have essentially admitted, per Texas Finance Code 392.202 ( b ) ( 2 ), that the debt in question is inaccurate. As such, all collection efforts on the debt must cease and any derogatory listing should be permanently removed from any consumer credit reports. As of XXXX XXXX, I still have not heard from them. Under state and federal law I could sue them and ask for thousands. However, I would like to make every effort to resolve this matter amicably without presenting this case in court before a jury in my community. I've have sent 2 letter for debt of validation on XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 and still haven't received anything regarding to that account. If they delete the account and cease reporting to the bureaus, I will consider this matter resolved.

XXXX XXXX illegally sold to I.Q. Data International INC. our XXXX rental related debt during the month of XX/XX/2021, which goes against the AB832 law. I.Q. Data International INC. has no legal obligations to pursue the XXXX related debt in collections per the XXXX California State law. The debt XXXX XXXX deemed XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX owed has been paid by the XXXX XXXX program in the form of a overpayment from the original amount owed of {$3100.00}, by paying a total of {$3100.00} on XX/XX/2021 directly to XXXX XXXX, within the legal timeframe under the XXXX state law, that also included a payment of {$37.00} to the illegal interest I.Q. Data International INC. pursued to collect. Though XXXX XXXX management is aware that this debt was paid in full directly to them, they have refrained from notifying I.Q. Data International that this debt is to be disputed because it was paid in full. I have contacted I.Q. Data International since XX/XX/2021, by phone explaining to their representatives that the debt the were collecting is illegal, because it is XXXX related debt, and each time they stated they were awaiting a response from XXXX XXXX to confirm this debt, and to confirm the amount stating we owed was paid to XXXX XXXX in full by the state of California. I have reasons to believe that XXXX XXXX did not respond to I.Q. Data International in truth, which is why they are continuing to pursue this debt, though we are sending them proof in writing that the debt they have continue to collect is illegal. The debt paid by the XXXX XXXX rental assistance program, to XXXX XXXX, included illegal fees. There was never a vaulted ceiling fee in our lease at any time we signed, or resigned our lease. XXXX also charged us for false damages such as painting the unit, and unit upgrade fees.

The company, IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL, purchased a debt from another company and I had no involvement with the transaction. According to 15 USC 3002 i am an natural person which means the name in all capital letters is not me. My name is XXXX XXXX. 15 USC ( A ) ( 1 ) The term " bureau '' means the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are assumed to be credit bureaus but there is only one bureau and that is the consumer financial protection bureau. On XXXX XXXX XXXX Congress enacted HJR 192 to suspend the gold standard into abrogate the gold clause. This resolution declared that " whereas the holding or dealing in gold affect the public interest, and or therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction, and whereas the existing emergency has disclosed the provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency... are inconsistent with the declared policy of Congress... In the payment of debts. This resolution declare that any obligation requiring payment and gold or particular kind of kind of currency or an amount in money policy ; and ... Every obligation heretofore or hereafter incurred, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, and any coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. 15 USC 1681 ( 3 ) ( E ) ( e ) the term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mold living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

I have been dealing with IQ Data International for 4 years and have tried to settle the matter with the company. I worked for XXXX in 2018 and lived at one of their apartment communities. Due to a work conflict and an infected apartment with bugs, I was allowed to vacate the premises without owing a balance. I have provided documentation, i.e. emails from management stating I don't have a balance, to XXXX and the documentation was provided to IQ Data International and they refuse to accept my written correspondence. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX from IQ Data International, and she advised me to go to XXXX XXXX, while she was on the phone, and apply for a loan to pay this outstanding debt. She took information from me to see whether I qualify for a hardship settlement due to my circumstances and placed me on hold. She returned back and advised me to go to XXXX XXXX and apply for a loan for {$1800.00}, the debt is {$1400.00}. I explained to her my credit is not the best and I will not be approved, she insisted I apply. They are asking me to pay more than 20 % interest on top of the actual debt. I have no signed contract from the creditor stating I will be paying interest ; this is against the FDCPA. I have asked IQ Data to provide me with documentation from the creditor to show the stipulations, and they have refused to provide me with anything. After a few moments, I told her I do not owe this debt since I have written documentation from a manager. She stated I need documentation from the regional manager, which I did provide, and IQ Data is still refusing to accept any documentation and have this collection debt on my credit going on 4 years. This has caused me to find housing and tremendous hardship and qualifying for any credit and has impacted my score.

We heard for the very first time by phone on XX/XX/XXXX that we owe {$510.00} plus nearly {$100.00} in interest for cleaning and utility fees that were supposedly due to our former apartments ( XXXX XXXX. ) in XXXX of XXXX. None of these charges were itemized or deducted from our security deposit. We received a full refund of said deposit and left our apartment in good standing with the company. For 2 years, we paid our rent in full on time. We even paid an extra month, after buying our new home, so we wouldnt break our lease at the apt . And now we have been harassed and threatened that our credit scores will be ruined by this collection agency. Our former lease states : 41.DEPOSIT RETURN, SURRENDER, AND ABANDONMENT. Deposit Return and Forwarding Address. You are required to provide us written notice of your forwarding address, on or before termination of this XXXX XXXX. Well mail you your security deposit refund ( less lawful deductions ) and an itemized accounting of any deductions no later than 21 days or as amended by Washington state law after the lease is terminated. Our deposit was returned in full. No charges were deducted. We were never mailed any billsfirst, second or finalduring the last 2 years. We called XXXX XXXX to further inquire about the charges, and they informed us they no longer have records of this matter because they are under new management. Dont these records need to be available for 7 years? Both companies charging us and pursuing collections are involved in bad faith business practices. What can we do when this happens? We feel completely vulnerable to any agency making claims to take our money under threat of damaging our credit scores, which we have worked so hard to maintain, even through the moratorium of the pandemic.

I was never contacted by this company ( IQ Data ) via phone or mail. They had the wrong name and address but left a message with my mother. I returned the call as a willing payer. Both representatives I spoke with were rude, offensive, yelling, and abusive. I explained to them that this debt was in regard to a move out balance and because the apartment complex sold the business to another company I could not get my move out balance because they never returned my calls and when I contacted them via email I was told that the company had sold and that I would be contacted. When I spoke with the debt collection agency I explained this was not a broken lease or eviction and my arrangement is in writing and still stands. I also told them I never received any letters because they were sending the statements to the addressed the debt belonged to which I obviously no longer lived. I was told by them I had no reason for a dispute and I have to pay the balance in full today or it would be reported to my credit bureau. I tried to give my current address which has also been updated with the USPS, he refused to send me a statement of the charges. He said I did not update my info with the USPS and that was my problem. I was yelled at over and over by agents and as a collections professional myself I am appalled at how they conduct business XXXX ( second agent with IQ Data ) also refused to take my phone number and stated the only thing he would accept from me is a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. The balance is now {$1700.00} and he refused to give me a breakdown of the charges. I have every intention on paying what I truly owe this company and only reached out to them because I have not received a notice or bill nor did was I made aware of my rights or options.

XXXX XXXX XXXX is a collection agency for rental properties and has reported to my credit reports on November 21, 2019. I never received any correspondence from them about owning debt so I was not afforded the right to request validation of debt. When I got notice of collection on my report, I immediately sent a debt validation letter to said company.XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent me anything showing I owed the debt but they did send me a letter dating XX/XX/XXXX which stated the original amount of debt was and then the interest they added onto the debt to make total even more. According to the FDCPA, ( Section if a debt collector is attempting to collect on your debt, they need to do so according to the original contract you signed. This contract refers to the one you signed with your original creditor. Even though this debt was most likely purchased from the original creditor ( or someone else who had purchased it from the original creditor ), the terms are passed down through the chain of ownership. Therefore, a debt collector can not add fees to your debt without permission from the courts. This means that you will need to have a judgment placed upon you before any fees are added. I have not received any court judgements or any paperwork from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating they were able to add interest. I kept requesting proof of debt on multiple occasions since XXXX of XXXX and a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter with even more interest and then a move out bill that had the original amount owed by original creditor but no contract of any sort stating I was the responsible party who owed this amount nor had my or creditors information on it. I asked again multiple times why interest was being applied and even the creditors contact info.

I moved out of an apartment early along with my partner. There was a fee equal to 2 months rent, this final bill was sent Friday after XXXX XXXX. The following Tuesday the debt was paid in full, on XX/XX/2020. As Monday the XXXX was a federal holiday and the credit union that need to raise my limit was closed. On XX/XX/2020 I started to receive odd calls on my cell from XXXX one at XXXX XXXX, one at XXXX XXXX and one at XXXX XXXX. Two additional calls were place at XXXX XXXX on the XXXX. At approximately XXXX XXXX I received a call from " IQ Data International '' on my work phone which is not public from XXXX. The caller did not identify themselves and said they were calling in regards to an old debt from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I stated the debt was paid in full but they could provide a debt verification letter if they wanted to place it was not. I stated it was my right to have them prove the debt and the caller stated it was not and that I clearly had debt since they were calling me at work. Caller refused to provide a debt verification letter. I confirmed the amount paid and said I would email confirmation when they hung up on me. I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX within 5 minutes and they said they would resolve the issue. The apartment manager emailed these addresses : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX And stated the account was paid in full and attached a statement. My partner was CCed on the email but I was not. My partner received numerous other spam calls from a XXXX area code which the debt collected ID as them. My XXXX profile was also view by a " XXXX XXXX '' whom is listed as a senior rep at IQ data. No letter has been sent in the mail from them and I can show as such, as I have USPS informed delivery.

Hello, I moved out of XXXX on XX/XX/2021. I submitted a notice as required by my lease on XX/XX/2021. I noticed that the email bounced back because they switched management companies so I went in to talk to them in person. They told me to turn in the notice there and so I did. I moved out on XX/XX/2021. I went to the office to turn in my keys, left a forwarding address and my number that hasn't changed in XXXX years. They told me that if they had any problems they would bill me in aout XXXX months. In XX/XX/2021 I received a call from the collection agency IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL. At first I thought it was a scam because I had never received anything from XXXX. They were also yelling at me on a recorded line and cursing me out. I hanged up and immidiately called XXXX. They said they they never had my phone number to contact me and my address so they didnt bill me.They also attempted to charge me for not giving them a notice. Once I provided documentation that I did in fact sent a notice they agree to take off most of the amount and contact collections to which they never did. I then contacted IQ and told them I would be getting a lawyer to which they responded you dont have a XXXX laywer. ( It is on a recorded line ) I began crying and panicking because teh representative was yelling. I offered to provided documentation to which they said that I could not dispute. I have attached an email from XXXX admitting that they charge was incorrect and honestly it proves that they never attempted to collect any charges before submitting me to collections. This is now affecting my credit and the unproffesionalist of IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL has caused me XXXX XXXX that i refused to speak to them as they were verbally abusive.

On XXXX I received a letter from IQ Data International, the letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX of 2023. So for some reason I received the letter a month and a half later. The later stated I owed around {$1500.00} to my old apartment complex. I called on XXXX and left a voicemail saying I was confused as to what was going on, I moved away from there 2 years ago. On XXXX I was called by an employee named XXXX, who was nice at first. When I asked what I was being charged with he summed it up by saying 'turnover charges ' and then later when questioned again he said I didn't pay my last month of rent either ( {$520.00} ) .When I brought up that I could prove I paid that with bank statements XXXX quickly panicked, I don't remember what led to it but he said he needed to know how much I could pay. I told him but I told him I would not pay until I see what I'm being charged for, he threatened that it would not be deleted off my credit report until I pay it. I'm trying to avoid any scams as this is fairly common. He kept demanding my card information and I had to tell him no repeatedly and that I was going to shower so I could go to my job. XXXX made it very difficult to hang up and after I finally did he called me later at work, I called back and told XXXX that I'm at work and must do my job. I also told him that I could not talk, I work in a loud environment and he is not allowed to call me at work and XXXX kept insisting that I am the one who called and that I am missing out on an opportunity. XXXX refused to give a written list of what I'm being charged for and refusing to send out confirmation that this will be deleted from my credit if I do pay it. It was an awful experience and I feel harassed and unsafe.

I have contacted this agency multiple times about a debt from an apartment complex that I moved out of earlier this year. I called that apartment complex numerous times trying to get information about any move out costs, and they continually told me they didnt have the information. I later received a phone call from Iq Data collections and they informed me of the charges in their office over the phone. I told them I never received any written notification from the apartment complex or Iq Data with a list of the individual charges. The operator on the first phone call told me I needed to send an email to XXXX to request the information I needed to dispute the claim. She also told me they had been sending information to the address of the apartment I had moved out of, despite me providing a forwarding address upon move our. It should be obvious that I would not receive mail at an address I moved out of, but I also confirmed my new mailing address. I confirmed the email multiple times. I sent five emails to the email address provided, all with no response. I spoke to another member of their team over the phone and told him I have never received any written statement of the claim so that I can formally dispute it. He again reverified that I had the correct email address and I received no response. He also said he would forward the request to a supervisor but I still have not heard back, weeks later. The dates of the emails are XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX all of XXXX. I have the documentation to prove that the charges the apartment complex is claiming I owe are not valid, but I am unable to get this creditor to provide me with the information to dispute their claim.

I received a call regarding an old lease that I was unable to keep up with the payments due to health issues and my car taking sufficient damage I tried everything I could to catch up with the payments to property and even went as far trying to work out a larger payment plan along with the rent but they just kicked me out. Going in a year down the line I received a call from IQ international debt collections who reached out to me regarding the costs to property and the sum they were requiring me to pay and the conversation didnt start off too bad leading into the conversation it did get a little intense some curse words were being said I apologized multiple times on my end because that agent did not deserve to listen to my complaints she was just doing her job but past that I hung up because I wasnt in listening frame of mind I just needed answers that she was not willing to provide, so I call the next day again apologizing for my actions/verbiage on the last call and this agent ( male ) was very aggressive and kind of threatening he refused to help me was very rude the entire time demanding information even made the threat to withdraw funds from my check and went as far as to say they would take me to court so after a brief exchange of words back and forth the call was ended by the agent, and me thinking it got disconnected I called back at the extension he gave and that call did not go well at all he started screaming when he answered would not reason with me kept demanding I give him information I did not need to provide and continued to threaten legal action towards me and when I kept asking questions for more clarity just trying to show that I willing to be compliant he hung up on me again.

I do not owe any debt to my prior landlord ( The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IN/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid my rent in full and on time and provided notice of my intent to vacate the property per the terms of my lease at the end of my lease term. I did not cause any damage to this apartment. In this instance, my prior landlord is engaging in extortion, using intimidation and threats to compel me to pay money that I do not owe. I was referred to a collection agency ( IQ Data International ) and this debt has damaged my credit score. This debt has been pursued for several years even as I have filed disputes. I have attempted to communicate with IQ Data International. My mail was returned because IQ Data International moved and left no forwarding address. I sent my communications to the address IQ Data International provided the credit bureaus and includes on their correspondence to me. IQ Data International is being intentionally evasive. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International has not provided any proof or documentation of damages ( including requested photographs, repair costs and invoices for repair services or materials ). I filed a complaint with the Indiana Attorney General, XXXX XXXX XXXX and various other consumer affairs agencies when this debt was initially pursued in 2015. Further pursuit of this debt violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act as this debt is inaccurate and unverifiable. Pursuit of this debt constitutes fraud and harassment by my former landlord. I am not attempting to purchase a home and this item is increasing the interest rate on my mortgage. Please note, I am an attorney. Your assistance is much appreciated.

IQ Data contacted me ( XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/21 on a phone call to allow me to settle the debt I had with them which showed on my credit report as {$4600.00} ( IQ DATA stated that the principal was {$2600.00} on an email ) during the phone call they gave me the option to settle the debt for {$2300.00} and they stated that it would show as paid ( settled ) on my credit report and that I would not owe them any other amount. I agreed to the settlement and paid {$2300.00} with my debit card. I received an email stating the settlement, which said that I was released from any further liability regarding obligations to the original Creditor and IQ Data International. The e-mail showed that my due total was {$0.00} On XX/XX/21 I received a charge on my bank account from IQ Data for {$1800.00} I Called IQ Data ( they hung up on me several times before taking my call ). When someone finally took my call they ALREADY knew it was me XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without me even saying a word meaning they had my number on file. I spoke with XXXX and asked about the charge of {$1800.00}, XXXX said that I approved the amount of {$1800.00} on XX/XX/21 to " REMOVE '' the debt from my credit report instead of settling. I said that was not true and to refund me that amount because I had an e-mail receipt stating that I had settled the amount and I did not owe them any more money. XXXX refused to give me the refund and said I was lying, I asked for proof from IQ Data that I agreed to pay the {$1800.00}. XXXX said he didn't have to show me proof and hung up on me. As of today XXXX am still disputing the charge with my bank and my credit report still shows a balance owed to IQ Data International for {$2300.00}

I received a debt to collect from IQ Data after annoying phone calls. The letter is not on a company logo and looks fake. The envelope is date stamped XX/XX/XXXX but was not mailed until XX/XX/XXXX. No one signed the letter and only put a # XXXX. I replied to my landlord back in XXXX ( at the time a debt was being paid ) and collected for them after I moved out. Fraud started to occur with the payments and the account. I disputed it timely and it was left alone no one continued to contact me. They always had my current mailing address. NOW out of nowhere this IQ collection letter comes in my mail BUT not until AFTER they wrongfully dinged my credit with the collection item AND it is not SHOWING as DISPUTED on my account. THEY have also added interest of over {$400.00} to a timely disputed account WHEREIN I never even rightfully got my security deposit back either. MOREOVER, I have security freeze and fraud alert on my social AND neither alerted me to this item transaction going on my credit. NOR are they acknowledging any of the correspondences that I keep legally sending to them. I was wrongfully denied a refinance because of this illegal activity placed on my credit that is not showing correct data, how much I paid to them, or that it was disputed timely back in XXXX when I contacted the city of XXXX and the county of XXXX for them having a aoartment building that was not up to code and the XXXX XXXX XXXX for them engaging in accounting fraud. FURTHERMORE the orginial landlord sold the property to another company back in XXXX and they did not pursue any more collection back then. IQ data has two address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX WA XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CO XXXX.

On today, XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX I received a call from a lady named XXXX who works with a debt collection company called IQ data. I spoke with XXXX at links, as she told me that she had a collection in her possession from the XXXXXXXX XXXX. I lived at the XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, my lease ended on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX and I paid all of my rent for the entire lease. In fact, I over paid by {$1400.00}. I offered to send XXXX correspondence between me and the manager, XXXX, at the XXXX proving that I did not owe any money at all. She refused to allow me to send the correspondence proving that I do not owe the debt. She also refused to give me her contact information. This point I called back and I spoke to a lady named XXXX who also refused to give me an email where I could forward the conversation between me and the XXXX She transferred me back to the lady named XXXX who gave me a fax number where I could fax proof that I do not owe the debt, but they would not except the correspondence from me because I have an attorney hired who handles my credit issues. After contacting them and letting them know the issue that I am having, they are sending correspondence to her and they advised me to contact you and let them know. The name of the company is IQ data. The fax number is XXXX I do not have any information regarding this debt because they refused to give me any information including a reference number or any way for me to identify the debt. She would not even tell me the full amount of the debt only that it was around {$3000.00} They also refused to send proof of the debt I was told that they were not legally obligated to send proof that I owed the debt.

Today on XX/XX/XXXX I called IQ Data international to ask about two collections I have. I wanted information on what each charge was and why each charge was there. My other question was going to be about why every six months IQ Data International would restart the collection since XXXX. I called and was connected to a man named XXXX XXXX who I have spoken to once before back in XXXX of XXXX. When asking about the charges XXXX said that one was for a deposit fee, and the other from the apartment company. When I asked what my lowest monthly option was XXXX said I had to qualify. We went over all income and things of that nature when completed he said I would need to pay a charge between $ XXXX {$690.00} in order to start the lowest payment of {$50.00}. I said well isn't that half of what I owe you he said no you owe {$1600.00} and the $ XXXX {$690.00} is a security of payment. When I said that's crazy that's what the last unit manager told me and he said yes that was me. I then asked to speak to someone else or a supervisor he said he is the only unit manager of the company and that the boss doesn't speak with clients only handles written complaints. Wee then argued about that and the negotiation process I stated I had spoken to a lawyer who said prices can be negotiated XXXX said I was given false information and that if he was giving me false information he could lose his license. XXXX then yelled that he had that me say me piece which he didn't had that he was going to push the documents threw and then hung up. When calling back to file a complaint I was connected again with XXXX XXXX who stated that IQ Data 's HR doesn't handle complaints nor does the companies boss.

When I moved out of my apartment, I requested a walk through on XX/XX/2019. The manager literally took out a piece of scrap paper and wrote only the oven needing cleaning. I did not sign any confirmation of final damages and neither did they. I asked her if I could have a copy of the scrap paper she wrote on and she stated that she couldn't make a copy because the " office was being remodeled. '' A few weeks later I received a bill saying that I owed {$700.00} for bogus charges with no proof. XXXX ended up keeping my {$500.00} initial deposit that I gave when I moved in, so if anything {$500.00} minus {$700.00} should be {$200.00}. XXXX even put the total amount owed on my credit report ( which is incorrect ) but I DO NOT OWE. My apartment was left in pristine condition, actually cleaner than when I moved in as the apartment looked like it just had a run over clean, floors were dirty, all the electric plugs had build up of years of grime on them ( which I made them clean later ) there was even a mildew stench and muggy feeling in the apartment, find out, there was a pipe leak in the wall. I even thought, how can maintenance not even feel how muggy it is and not smell that smell?? Water came leaking through my roof in the bathroom and water leaking out in the hallway coming from the attic where the air conditioner vent is. This goes to show how they do not even maintain their apartments correctly. All XXXX is out for profit at tenants expense. Because this report is on my credit, I am unable to rent a place because the landlords at which I apply, see this owed and deny me. I am asking for XXXX to do the right thing and remove this charge from my credit report at once.

Today XX/XX/2023 I got a letter dated XX/XX/2023 stating I owe {$620.00} to my apartment, I went to my apartment and they stated there has been an error and miscommunication with a payment plan the apartment set up for me and the amount is different. The apartment stated that they will try to pull the debt from the agency and bring it back in house but to respond to the letter and call and give them a heads up that the apartment will be contacting the company IQ data international to update the amount and send in paper work on the mistake the apartment made. I called IQ and when I gave the information to pull my account I tried to explain the situation and if they had a fax to send information, the representative disregarded the information I gave him and asked for a credit card to process a payment today because he doesnt want this to damage my credit and he doesnt want to report it. I explained the situation and that the balance is not correct and if I can set up a payment arrangement while the apartment updates, he stated again to give him my credit card info to process payment and that this will be reported on my credit and affect me. I asked if I can have the fax number to submit the data and I would call him back in 30 mins and he said it wasnt necessary to call him and also to provide my credit card information to pay and he doesnt know when it reports to my credit and it will affect me. I stated that he is not listening that I am trying to submit paper work and I said ok you asked me not to call back I will pay online and he stated if I dont take care of this it is going to report to my credit. And to give him the credit card information to pay.

My girlfriend and I both received identical letters ( attached below ) from I.Q. Data International , INC via USPS stating that we owe {$690.00} to XXXX ( XXXX ). Knowing that this debt does not belong to us, I composed a debt verification letter ( attached below ) requesting verification of this debt with proper documentation. After checking the box indicating that we are disputing this debt, I returned the initial letter along with the debt verification letter to I.Q. Data International via certified mail. I utilized certified mail to ensure that I would receive notice upon delivery ( attached below ). Under federal law, I.Q. Data International is required to provide us with documentation verifying this debt within thirty days after receiving our request. They received the debt verification letter on XX/XX/XXXX This can be verified by the signed return receipt, which I have attached below. Because they failed to respond I assumed that they were unable to validate the debt and therefore, I considered this matter closed. However, my girlfriend continues to receive multiple phone calls a day, during which they attempt to bully her into paying this debt immediately. They have also wrongfully sent our debt to credit report agencies which has negatively affected our credit scores. After reviewing the steps we have taken, I suspect their actions violate our rights under federal law. Along with this complaint I will also be filing complaints through my state attorney general as well as the Federal Trade Commission. We do not wish to press charges against I.Q. Data International, although we are certain their actions would justify it.

I was contacted by the company ( IQ Data ) telling me I owed a debt from 1 year and 9 months prior. I explained that I owed no debt because I paid for everything ( rent ). They also informed me that this so-called debt included interest for the length of time they owned the debt yet I was also never notified when they took on this so-called debt. I then decided to disupte this and sent them a letter requesting for them to validate my debt. Included with the letter were 2 proofs of identity. I sent that by certified mail and they received that letter on XXXX XXXX. I waited a little more than a month ( 30 days ) and received no communication or response from them so I then sent a letter for request of removal. Included with that letter were the previous letter, 2 forms of identification, and a copy of the certified mail receipt from the previous letter. They [ IQ Data ] received that letter via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. Lastly, I called them on XX/XX/2021, to inquire about the status. They rudely told me that even though they may have received my second letter it wasn't in my file and they don't know when it would be added. I asked about a time frame for the response they informed me that they will settle this whenever they hear back from the original owner of the debt. I then referred to the 30 days for a response within the letter the man asked me where did I get information about the 30 days and told me there was nothing he could do an nobody in the company I could speak with to give me information about the process. After which he said he would put me on hold and then hung up on me. This was all on a recorded line by them.

IQ International is attempting to collect a debt that is not valid. IQ International contacted me in XX/XX/XXXX regarding a balance that was purchased by them from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon receipt of their initial letter I immediately filled disputes with the creditor directly, as well as lodging several complaints against XXXX XXXX XXXX with the FTC and local regulators in both the State of Colorado and the State of California. I had lawfully terminated my lease at the XXXX XXXX XXXX per the terms of the lease ( failure to maintain a safe and liveable environment. I had provided management advanced notification of my lease termination via writing and within the timeframe my lease allotted. I also provided management at XXXX directly with both photographic and video evidence supporting my claims. Even though I had followed all requirements in my lease management at XXXX refused to abide by our lease terms and stated they would not honor the lease we had signed. I was not provided any invoice on move out and did not receive any further communication from XXXX until receiving a bill directly from IQ Data. No invoice from the creditor was ever sent to me advising of any balance owed. Upon receiving notice from IQ Data I immediately filled a compliant with CFPB. IQ initially responded to the complaint providing a invoice with no explanation for charges listed. Past the initial response I had received no further contact from IQ Data. Today XX/XX/XXXX almost 7 months after receiving the initial letter from IQ, after receiving no further follow up, invoices, or communication they placed the disputed account on my credit report.

The collections company I.Q. Data International , Inc ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WA, XXXX ) has fradulently placed an account/debt on my name. Per the company, this debt is mine, which is a lease under someone with a similar name. The loan is for a lease, which was from XXXX. I have been monitoring my credit with XXXX XXXX for some time now and this account never came up on my reports until XX/XX/23. I do not know either of the individuals on this account. The woman on the account, has a similar name to mine, with the exception of the middle name. My middle name is XXXX. I firmly believe that the individuals XXXX XXXX XXXX and/or XXXX XXXX XXXX have falsely and fraudulently used my name and information for this account. I only became aware of this account and that this account was under my name and in collections on XX/XX/23 when I received an email alert from XXXX XXXX stating I had an account that required my attention. The night of XX/XX/23 I filed a dispute with XXXX for this account. On XX/XX/23 I was informed by XXXX that the dispute investigation concluded the account does belong to me, which is untrue. On XX/XX/23 I called XXXX Police Department to file an incident report for fraud. On XX/XX/23 I also spoke to officer XXXX XXXX who submitted an incident report, which is filed as incident report XXXX. On XX/XX/23 I called XXXX XXXX to request a copy of the report. In addition, when calling this collection agency, the first individual, XXXX, was very rude and refused to give me information for this loan. It took me calling XXXX other times for the files so suddenly appear and be given any information.

I received a collection notice from the company on XX/XX/XXXX. This was my first notification that I had any outstanding debt/a collection account outstanding. When I asked, they stated that they had sent " multiple letters '' ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) but that all of the prior letters had gone to my previous address- the address for the apartment complex that was claiming I had unpaid charges at move-out and which was clearly not my address any longer. I did have mail forwarding for that address for 6 months after moving out. Further, I did not receive any phone calls ( I have had the same phone number for the past 10 years ). I was shocked to have received a notice like this 5 years later. Upon contacting them to settle the account, I noted that their letter stated that my account was currently being reported to the credit reporting agencies. Upon asking this question, they stated that they hadn't reported this to the agencies yet ( which makes sense, since I pull my credit annually and did not see anything about this debt ). When I told them I wanted to settle for the 40 % of the balance offered in the letter that they sent, they stated that if I did that, they would then report this to the credit bureaus for paying less than the full amount due and it would negatively impact my credit unless I paid the full amount of the balance. When I asked why I would have to do this and why they would report my account to the credit bureaus and harm my credit, even though they hadn't made any reports to the bureaus for the past 5 years, they stated it was " what they are allowed to do by law ''

This is a second debt collections reported by IQ Data International, the apartment company was called XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Florida at the time of move in XX/XX/XXXX. That apartment has since been changed to XXXX XXXX : which they did not let any residents know about this change before hand. I went to sleep at a friends house one night and came back to my apartment complex name being changed. When I moved in the elevator was broke, I was under the impression from the office manager that parts were ordered and going to be installed in the next couple weeks, I was concerned because my apartment I was renting was on the fourth floors. I never would've moved in knowing that the apartment had no plans on fixing this issue. This was directly affecting my health because of the first incident reported above with my injuries from the car accident, suffering bad neck and back pain. So constantly going up four floors daily was gaining on me. Six months past and I could not take it anymore, I let them know I was moving out. The elevator was not operational the ENTIRE time I lived there, not for one day, which is a direct violation in FL for not keeping the property up to date with maintenance, but I still paid rent every first of the month and not ever late with a payment. I'm no longer associated with either of these addresses whatsoever. After moving out I noticed that they reported it to collections on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX with a balance of {$3700.00}. I would really appreciate if these could be removed as I'm hoping to buy a house in XXXX with my now fianc, but with these on my report I will be unable to do so. Thank you.

I have requested validation from this company on several occasions and have not received nothing but a bill with no itemized statements. company is adding monthly interest charges to the invalidated debt amount. Company is claiming I owe for an apartment but has not supplied the apartment lease bearing my signature or contract. Majority of the charges are for damages but no description or details of said damages that could belong to anyone. whenever i file complaint complaint responds to complaint stating they mailed out validation but only submitted list of debt with no contract/ lease which is attached to this complaint. company is illegally charging interest, damages that do not belong to me and holding my credit report hostage for an apartment they have not supplied a lease with my signature for. I have tried working with company and they are putting fraudulent charges on my credit report, not following the guidelines of the FCRA nor the texas tenant rights. as stated below company needs to give description of damages which the attached documents do not show any description of damages. company is also charging reletting fee, unpaid months of rent beyond the said 3months that were left on the lease contract which is against tenants rights. Deductions for damages. Under Texas law, you must give the landlord a forwarding address in order to receive your returned security deposit. The landlord must return your deposit less any amount deducted for damages within 30 days. If the landlord withholds part or all of your deposit, they must give you an itemized list of deductions with a description of the damages.

I was never served any documentation of eviction. I went to the court and got documentation of the plaintiff 's false eviction. On their proof of service it states address XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. That is the wrong unit number. My unit number was XXXX not XXXX. How can you possibly serve someone at two different unit numbers? I moved into my new apartments called XXXX XXXX XXXX and I attached my lease agreement which I signed XX/XX/2018. The plaintiff 's proof of service contradicts and doesn't make sense whatsoever. The proof of service states the plaintiff signed the proof of service XX/XX/2018 but I moved into my new apartments XX/XX/2018. It states in the court papers that this was because of possession back to the plaintiff, it was never about me owing rent. My husband tried to pay rent XX/XX/2018 and the temp that was assigned at the leasing office stated that she will not accept our rent which is a violation of the tenant protection act. The plaintiff violated the Tenant protection act and increased the rent numerous times in the past 4 years we lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX. The tenant protection cap annual rent increase is supposed to be at 5 % which the plaintiff violated. On XX/XX/2018 the plaintiff filed court papers of entry of default, judgement and writ. Superior court returned documents to plaintiff and was unable to process the entry of default and judgement of writ because their attorney misspelled clients name or misinformed the courts of the spelling of their own clients name. I would like this information to be removed from me and my husband XXXX XXXX credit report.

I have been making payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX on a debt owed to a property management company for over 6 months on time every month of {$50.00}. This company closed on XX/XX/XXXX and debt was bought by IQ Data International. I called this company today, XX/XX/XXXX, to set up a payment plan after receiving their statement on XX/XX/XXXX. First, I discussed that that statement did not reflect the accurate amount owed, as I have proof of actual amount owed from previous debt collector. The agent I was speaking with, XXXX XXXX, states I can email it to her at XXXX. I did email this document as soon I got off the phone with her. Secondly I asked to set up a payment plan. She stated to me they do not accept payment plans and starts to ask me about my employment, rent, car payments, credit cards and other personal information. I let her know I can not pay the amount in full and will have to make payments. She again states she will not accept any payments and asks about my income tax returns and if I can pay off my debt with this after making a partial payment today. I, again, inform her this will not work. She then proceeds to say " yes, I see this is not a priority to you and we will proceed with contacting your employer as we were going to do anyway ''. So IQ data has not even had my debt for a month, has sent me one statement, and not even attempted to contact me by phone. I contact them to set up a payment and they tell me they were already going to start taking money from my paychecks anyways. I am willing to make payments, but they are not willing to accept, which is absolutely absurd.

XX/XX/XXXX, my husband and I applied for an apartment with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. We paid our fees and awaited for a response. I called 3 days later, with no update. The next day, I called and was told that my my husband and I were denied. We did not have any derogatory information on our credit and our credit was much higher than the credit score required. We were in the mid 600s and the requirement was 550. There also was never a credit report pulled. I called and updated the apartment and asked how could we had been denied, if a report was never ran. They never responded after multiple contacts. We applied at another apartment with a higher score requirement and received immediate approval. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call saying they were trying to collect a debt. I asked the agent to please explain how i owed. She said it was leftover move out fees. I explained that I never stayed or moved in so how are we owed a balance? She got rude with me and threatened that she will just put it down that I am refusing to pay the debt. This was a recorded call. I explained to her that Im not refusing anything but am asking for a verification of the debt. The call ended and today, I go to look at my credit report and there is the collection. This is illegal and the tactics of IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN are inhumane. They still cant prove how I owe this money to them when they never ran a report. I called over a month leaving messages with the main office and no one called me back. I reported it on XXXX and they responded saying that it was due to my credit but again, my credit was never pulled.

I recived a validation of debt from I.Q Data international today XXXX XXXX letter is dated XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached This letter for your review. They are stating the principal balance due is {$740.00}, interest due in the amount of {$240.00}. How is interest legally charged on this debt? The lease information section states my lease end date as XX/XX/XXXX and my move out date is XX/XX/XXXX. My move out date and lease ended on XX/XX/XXXX per the terms of my lease and signed notice to vacate. Resident information has my prior address listed as my primary and my forwarding address as other. Why wasnt my address updated accordingly? If a notice was sent it was intentionally sent to the incorrect address. This is a very shady tactic! Charges are listed for damages and XXXX XXXX Original amount owed for damage is {$200.00} and balance due is {$660.00}. How did this amount increase? XXXX XXXX has original amount XXXX with balance due of XXXX. How did this amount decrease? There is a due date of XX/XX/XXXX listed however I never received a bill until this debt was reporting on my credit. At that time I contacted the courtyards at XXXX and spoke with XXXX who was the leasing manager and she stated she would send me a break down of fees via mail however I never received this. When I reached out to I.Q Data the lady I spoke with refused to provide me with a breakdown because the time period to validate the debt had expired. I wrote several letters to the credit bureaus disputing this debt to only receive generic response and no real investigation because the time period had expired.

I moved out of my apartment on XX/XX/2022 for medical reasons. ( Of note : The apartment that I was given on move-in day was not the apartment that I was shown for rent. ). A pipe broke in the apartment upstairs from mine in XXXX XXXX XXXX whereby I was displaced from my apartment for 21 days. The ceiling collapsed and wasn't repaired properly, as they tried to paint over the water damage, so it fell several more times, even after I moved back in. The apartment ended up being chronically damp with black mold growing at the bottom of the hall closet. The water coming thru the ceiling brought with it the tar from the prior tenant who was a XXXX XXXX and I now had brown dripping water throughout my apartment and the odor of old smoke. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Things hadn't resolved by the end of XXXX when I moved out, as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX still had two open cases for my apartment alone. The prior manager, XXXX XXXX, was very understanding of my need to break the lease for medical reasons. Apparently, when she left to take another job, her replacement, or XXXX XXXX themselves, put a derogatory mark on my credit report stating that I owed them {$2500.00} as of XX/XX/2022 for XXXX XXXX XXXX. NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS DEBT. IT IS LISTED AS " IQ DATA '' ON MY CREDIT REPORT BUT I JUST HAPPENED TO SEE IT THERE. I contacted XXXX who told me to reach out to XXXX XXXX to help me resolve the situation. I did this twice and he never responded.

On XX/XX/2022, I received a debt collection notice from IQ Data for a debt of {$91.00} supposedly owed to my former apartment, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On the same date, I spoke with XXXX XXXX via telephone, who stated that I was paid in full and the debt must have been sent to collections by mistake. We moved out of XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, and were not notified of any outstanding balance. The {$91.00} fee is question was paid to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, the day we became aware of the charge in our online account, and before we received a bill for the charge. On XX/XX/2022, I requested a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that this debt was mistakenly sent to collections. I received the letter from XXXX XXXX stating we did not owe any debts. On XX/XX/2022, I sent the Park Place letter, screenshots of my online portal payment on XX/XX/2022 of the fee in question, and a personal letter to IQ Data explaining that this is not a debt that I owe to Park Place. On XX/XX/2022, my wife, XXXX XXXX, also received a debt collection notice for this fee from IQ Data. On XX/XX/2022, I contacted XXXX XXXX via email requesting them to notify the debt collector of their mistake in sending this to collections. On XX/XX/2022, I received a phone call from IQ Data, who asked me to confirm my refusal to pay this debt. I explained the situation to IQ Data and stated I sent them the required documentation to dismiss this debt via mail on XX/XX/2022. IQ Data stated they had not received my letter and requested that I email it to them. I emailed them all documents that I had previously mailed.

On XX/XX/2021, I sent in a dispute to IQ Data International regarding a collection that was placed on my report. I asked for the original contract stating where I signed with my signature proving that they owe the debt they say I owe. Instead of sending me back what I asked for, they sent me a statement instead. I requested for validation not verification. Furthermore, when reading the letter- I came across multiple violations that this company has endured. 1. They have listed the interest due and balance due. Under 15 USC 1692 F ( 1 ) states ( 1 ) it is a violation to collect any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. 2. Furthermore, under 15 USC 1692 F it states that it is a violation to state the consumer owes any such debt. In the letter that was sent, it reads, " this communication from a debt collector is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. '' 3. In addition to, they have also included a logo/letterhead which according to 15 USC 1692 B ( 5 ) is a violation as well. ( 5 ) not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt ; This is more than one violation that has occurred. I am seeking litigation if this account is not removed. ACCOUNT NUMBER :

Greetings, In XX/XX/2020 I mailed a " Pay In Lieu of Deletion Letter '' certified return receipt to I.Q. Data International. It is now XX/XX/2020 and I have not received a response of any kind from I.Q. Data in response to settle this debt. XX/XX/XXXX has deleted this item months ago from my credit report after completing their investigation however I disputed it with XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2020 ) and the dispute result was an Update not a deletion. I am confused I followed the proper protocols in validating the debt, requesting proof that I.Q. Data has the legal right to collect here in TX however I am left to wonder if they do not actually have a right to collect here in TX at all and perhaps they have provided false misleading information to Consumer Finance and myself. I am requesting a full thorough investigation as to IQ Data 's " legal right ' to collect this debt in the state of Texas because I have not received any progressive/ forthcoming honest communication back from IQ Data attempting to resolve this debt they have claimed/validated that I owe. I would like to file a complaint against XX/XX/XXXX for not properly investigating and deleting this and against I.Q. Data for claiming they have a right to collect debt here in the state of TX however did not in good faith respond to my " Pay in Lieu of Deletion Letter ''. I am left to believe that I.Q. Data is fraudulent and XX/XX/XXXXas well for not doing their due diligence to correct this they are behaving in a malicious manner acting as cohorts intentionally causing damage and harm to my credit.

My apartment complex said we owed damages upon move out which there were absolutely none. We left the complex in a better condition then when we moved in. 2 months after we moved out, I received notification from IQ data saying they had sent these " damage '' fees to collections, when the complex never even contacted me via mail, phone email etc. I even called the complex and they said they had nothing on my profile regarding any past due balance or damages so I don't know why it would be sent to collections. I reached out to IQ data, they told me to email their dispute department which I did. They then said that the dispute was denied and debt was validated because of proof, but I never received anything from them. What proof is there? No one has even said WHAT the damages were! Nevermind there being no photos or proof of said damages. When I called customer service at IQ Data they were extremely rude and no help, saying the only thing I could do would be to pay this to get it off my credit and was not listening to me at all. I had mentioned that I spoke to my dad about the situation & that I was considering per his advice taking them to small claims court. When I asked them to email me any of the info regarding this dispute, validated debt etc. the agent refused and responded with " Why don't you ask your dad? '' which was very condescending. They said they would re-mail the so called " proof '' that I never got in 5-7 business days but that was it. I have already started a small claims court case. This company is fraudulent and should be shut down.

I was a resident of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I properly notified the XXXX property manager, XXXX XXXX, using the XXXX lease termination form, that I was vacating the apartment on XX/XX/XXXX. I left the keys and security dongle with the XXXX front office on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid all my rent through XX/XX/XXXX. However, weeks after leaving XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent me a letter claiming I had " skipped without notice '' and therefore I had forfeited my security deposit and owed an additional {$1000.00} in rent. This is a lie. I have the email I sent XXXX XXXX properly notifying her, on XXXX 's form, of my move out date. XXXX has filed a false claim with I.Q. Data International , Inc., a collection agency. I.Q. Data sent a letter to my parent 's house dated XX/XX/XXXX, which I first learned of earlier today, XX/XX/XXXX, when I came to visit them. I.Q. says I owe {$1100.00} to XXXX under transaction number XXXX. This is a false claim. I paid all of my rent payments to XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. I properly notified XXXX of my lease termination.

I'm a former tenant at The XXXX of XXXX XXXX and moved in XXXX of XXXX. I put in a 60 day notice and my lease ended XX/XX/XXXX. I actually moved on XX/XX/XXXX and paid the full month 's rent as expected. The apartment keys were returned when I moved out. I was a great tenant who always paid on time and only made a few maintenance requests while living there. The dire being when a piece of the bookcase shelving fell in and rained in my apartment and was never fixed before moving out ( this happened months before the end of my lease ). I started receiving calls from a debt collection company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because my account was turned over to them. I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX to have this resolved and received a printout and was told to contact the person over billing ( XXXX XXXX ) on the following Monday. After doing so through email I received an attachment that contradicts the original printout ( please see attachments ). I don't believe that this is good business practice to try to cheat someone out of their hard-earned money so I chose to come directly to you with this issue since the apartment management wouldn't resolve it. I've worked for years to achieve excellent credit in order to achieve a home loan and then this happens to me. The collection agency nor the apartment complex is seeing the issue. Attached you will find ; Residential ledger from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( I've highlighted payments ). Print out of payment directly from creditor. Move-in statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating when my new lease started.

Was scheduled to move in to XXXX on XXXX on XX/XX/ in XXXX, CT. Arrived at the property on that day- it was uninhabitabe and unsanitary. Could not move in. Contacted the leasing company immediately, left messages, called all corporate numbers, no one would answer. Contacted the Department XXXX XXXX. They validated that this property was uninhabitable- had current investigations going on them. Left without ever getting the key or moving in. Contacted the company over the next 4 days - no return calls or emails. Finally reached someone in corporate - sent all the photos of the property that day- she agreed in writing that we were correct and she would forward it on to have the lease nullified and voided. The person who is was forarded to was very rude and said she did not agree and we owed a move out fee - even though we never moved in. We went back and forth and she would not budge. I got an attoryney who took over communications with her. The last communication was from my attorney saying they were in breach of CT codes and the matter was to be closed. We recieved no reply. The next thing that happened was I got a call for IQ Data saying I owed the debt of {$2100.00} - I disagreed and they said I had to pay or dispute. I got the attorney to send a letter to validate the debt. We received NOTHING from them in response ... and they sent it the credit bureau - we did not have the opportunity to reply or formally dispute the debt. Once I saw this in the credit bureau, I had my attorney call- and they were uncooperative. And said we could go to court.

My roommate and I moved into the apartments at XXXX of XXXX XXXX in XXXX in XX/XX/2019. The apartment was not clean when we moved in, and we had not been allowed to see our apartment before the move in date. We told the office and they insisted it had been cleaned so we had to clean it ourselves. We had many issues with them over the year we lived there including AC and power going out multiple times. AC was out for two weeks once, we couldnt stay at the apartment because it was over 90 degrees outside. They put fan units in to try to keep it cool and these fans leaked out water all over the carpet causing damage. We decided not to renew our lease and expected our full deposit back because we left it much cleaner than wed found it, no damage other than to the carpet that was caused by their fans. Not only did we not get any deposit back, they charged us {$400.00} claiming they had to replace carpet. They are the ones that caused the damage to the carpet, and also they were remodeling all apartments and taking out the carpet anyway. They charged us for the remodeling they were doing, we did not leave any damage to that apartment. I have called their office and their management multiple times over this last year. Ive left message after message and no one has returned my call. Now I have this charge on my credit that I dont deserve. They still owe us our deposit. They took our deposit and charged us more money on top of it when we left zero damage to the apartment. I cant afford a lawyer and have no idea what to do about this situation.

IQ Data International called me in XXXX stating I owed a debt from XXXX from an old apartment. It is now XXXX. They demanded that I check my credit score and tell them my credit score, apply for loans, take out tax advance loans or other forms of loans/debt to pay them. They kept me on the phone for long periods of time and hold times to harass me and bully me. They added over {$400.00} interest supposedly to this debt which I do not know if it is legal. I have paid them {$50.00} plus an additional {$70.00} in XXXX. They called me today XX/XX/XXXX stating the payment declined and that I needed to pay today or further action would be taken and it would be escalated. I advised the rep about personal things happening in my life and I needed to talk to an attorney possibly about this. I also said I was going to the hospital for an emergency and she wanted to keep me on the phone saying that did not matter. She also told me I was threatening her with an attorney and needed to take care of this and that I agreed to it. Someone else got on the phone after placing me on hold and said I need to file my taxes and that it only takes 25 minutes and I need to call by Monday at XXXX or escalation would take place. Prior to todays phone call, I asked them to mail me a copy of the debt which they did. I actually got it in the mail today. I am disputing the cleaning charge, carpet cleaning charge, stain removal charge. We moved out of that apartment and it was very clean and tidy. I emailed them asking to no longer contact me by phone today.

I am redoing my complaint because the company is referencing incorrect dates on complaint : XXXX which was closed after companys response. Here is my original complaint : Received letter XX/XX/XXXX sent letter and they received debt validation letter XX/XX/XXXX. They contacted me XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX requesting payment. They are supposed to stop collecting until they send the debt validation. They reached out to me and family members. I called at XXXX XXXX and they would not let me speak kept talking over me I told them I would verify my personal information and they kept asking me is this for the XXXX XXXX account. I gave him my name my birthdate and asked him what else he wanted and he kept asking me if this was the XXXX XXXX account. This company is saying that they received my account on XX/XX/XXXX when per the attached they clearly sent me a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. They contacted me after receiving my letter. They received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX per the USPS tracking, screenshot attached as well, and they did not pick it up until XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX It is not my problem if they choose to pick up their parcels a week after they receive it. So the controller is claiming that they received my letter XX/XX/XXXX which would have been after the 30 days but they got it on XX/XX/XXXX again per USPS tracking info. On top of that they are stating that they sent me an itemized letter with the original letter. Per attachment they did not. THEY VIOLATED MY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER PER THE FDCPA!!!! They should not just be able to do that.

I was called by IQData for the first time today XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. The representative identified himself, told me I was on a recorded line and said it was about trying to collect a debt. He said what the debt was about and the amount which is over XXXX XXXX dollars. He asked me if it was something I was going to resolve today. I politely told him that it wasn't something I could resolve today but to call me at another time. He snapped and raised his voice and started to very aggressively demand I pay now because it was my debt. I told him it wasnt as I didnt live in that rental community during the time owed but that i was looking to resolve it ( my name was on the lease and I communicated to rental community that I no longer lived there. I never got an email with a bill, a mailed bill or phone calls ). He yells at me and tells me that the dent is mine because XXXX ( the other person on the lease ) declared bankruptcy and that it was mine ( fully yelling at me ). I told him I had no intention of discussing my personal business with him and that he couldnt intend that a debt that was 3 yrs old and them calling me for the first time was going to get resolved today. He yells at me even louder and accuses me of running away from my debt. I had never been charged up to this day. I told him he was unprofessional and how dare he and hung up. I suffer from anxiety and to be belittled, yelled at and accused by complete stranger regarding a matter im not refusing but asking to be contacted at another time is unacceptable.

A debt collector from IQ Data International by the name of XXXX ext.1201, called me, XXXX XXXX . I am unemployed and do not have a XXXX to my name. I hung up because I did not understand the language too well and he stated that it was for owing money to an apartment, which I could not afford during the pandemic. The debt collector then proceeded to call me because and started telling me, " why are you hanging up? Are you scared? You owe my client money. '' and he continued to harass me. I passed my phone over to my son, who is an attorney, but is not representing me in the matter but who I wanted to speak on my behalf because of the harassment I was suffering. The debt collector proceeded to express aggressive behavior towards my son and hung up. After multiple attempts to call him back, he continued to patronize and be aggressive. The debt collector, per the recorded conversation, was asked to no longer solicit for debt collection and he proceeded to state it was not not solicitation. The debt collector did not even know what solicitation was and continued to taunt and harass. I asked my son to call the manager with ext. XXXX, to convey the situation I suffered at the hands of the debt collector. Then we asked to receive a call back because we are dealing with other legal matters and the manager then refused and cornered and pressured me to try to resolve the issue now or never, despite I requesting to have this conversation another time because of being distraught and having to deal with other legal issues at the moment.

I moved out of XXXX at XXXX XXXX apartments on XX/XX/2022. I turned in my keys on Saturday XX/XX/2022 to employee XXXX. I previously filled out a forwarding address paperwork and turned into rental office. XXXX declined to do a physical walk through at the time of my departure which is a violation of their company rental policy. At the end of XX/XX/2022 after not hearing from XXXX I went to rental office to inquire if I had a balance. During this same visit I also verified with the rental office employee that they had the correct forwarding address for me. The employee located the paperwork and confirmed they had the correct forwarding address. She then confirmed there was no balance due. After reviewing my credit months later in XX/XX/2022 I noticed that a debt collection was placed on my account by a debt collection company. I have never done business with this debt collector. They have not had any form of communication with me via email, text, mail, phone or fax. After speaking with a Consumers Protection Lawyer Attorney they advised me to prepare a debt validation letter and send it certified mail with return receipt to the company. I have sent XXXX letters to them with no response to validate this debt to date. The lawyer advised me under the laws of FCRA, FDCPA everything on a credit report must be 100 % accurate verifiable and reported in a timely fashion to be placed on my credit report. This debt collection company is in violation of 15-USC1692gb. I need to have this deleted from my credit report immediately.

IQ Data is claiming that they can not address this issue with CFPB because I have retained an attorney. There is no indication of that in this complaint Ref # CFPB XXXX. This is simply a dodge to not address the issue of the complaint that the debt is not valid as the person filing it did not have the authority to do so, I submit the small claims case as evidence that this person is the same as that filing the collection. IQ Data has been attempting to collect on a debt for the past four years that was signed and forwarded to them by one XXXX XXXX representing XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX stated, under oath, that she did not have the authority to attest or sign legal documents. She was only the community manager. The debt claimed by this collection agency was signed by the same XXXX XXXX and was based on legal documents of an alleged debt by, once again, XXXX XXXX. The debt is either invalid or the entities above have perjured themselves in court. The debt is in either case invalid and not verifiable. The collection agency would need to provide another signed document by an authorized party, from the inception of that debt or else remove the debt from all bureau reports. Enclosed is the case number and hearing information where I was required to refile against a party with legal authority. XXXX XXXX was present as the defendant for the entities and not qualified by her own admission to being a legal authority to handle financial matters for the property.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I spoke to XXXX XXXX with IQ international Data more than once. Amount is a little over {$10000.00} for XXXX XXXXXXXX apartments back from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I requested the debt to be validated and I wanted written notice and an explanation of the debt due to the large amount. XXXX XXXX refused stating they had sent written notice in which I told her I did not recall receiving anything. She then told me it is not her fault I " forgot '' and I needed to settle the debt in full. I continued to ask for the debt to be validated in which she still refused. I was told when I left XXXX XXXX apartments the balance would change when someone leased the apartment but that never happened. The balance has only gone up and IQ international Data will not tell me why the balance is so high when it should Have been lowered once the apartment was no longer vacant. I called back multiple times when I could not even get a word In with XXXX XXXX and they kept transferring me to her. There are so many scams out there and I'm trying to settle a debt and make things right but she was extremely difficult and refused to send me written notice. I asked her if I paid it if I would get a receipt and she Also said no that I just needed to settle the debt and that was it. This place sounds like they are committing fraud. I have this balance on my credit and I'm afraid to pay anything because they do not sound legit and I do not have the funds to just throw money away. They are refusing to send written notice or even receipts.

This is a formal complaint against IQ Data International located in XXXX, WA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable collection account on all 3 of my credit reports, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have refused to validate per my request under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for nearly a year now, IQ Data International has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit reports. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical collection practices- disguising themselves under multiple business names and using ILLEGAL collection practices all across the country. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

I debt showed on my credit report from a debt collector representing my previous apartment. I had no clue why they were saying I owe this amount, I moved from the apartment almost a year ago and owe nothing. I never received any notice about a debt. When I call the collection agency the representative was extremely rude and unwilling to provide information. She kept saying you do owe it and you did get notifications. A few weeks later I received a letter from them with my least and a letter from apartment manger which was not signed stating that the charges are for damage to the carpet due to me having a pet. I believe the information sent to me was fabricated because the property manager was well acquainted with me and my nephew who lived in the apartment. She knew we didn't have a pet. I lived at the apartment for 3 years and I never had any pets. First of all I am XXXX to dogs and cats. The apartment was clean and no damage to the carpet other than regular wear and tear. On my lease I made a deposit of {$350.00} I tried to contact the apartment and was told that the management company no longer manage the property and they didn't have any previous information on my lease. Please investigate this collection agency and report them to all Federal Agencies. I believe they are committing fraud and intentionally trying to destroy people credit and scam them out of money. I am not sure if the apartment management company is giving them false information or if they are just creating fake debt for old tenants.

In XXXX of 2020 I went to court for an unlawful detainer/eviction case against my landlord. I lived in XXXX XXXX XXXX and it is owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Long story short, we both agreed on an amount due and also to have my case be sealed and not to reflect my credit report. The amount agreed upon was {$5500.00}, including the lawyer fee. In XXXX of 2020 a representative from IQ international data reached out and told me I had a debt owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$12000.00}. I let the representative know that I had documentation from the court stating it was not supposed to reflect my credit report. After about a hour had passed with arguing with several of International IQ Datas employees, nothing was resolved. They told me the debt was valid and the amount owed was the correct amount. I reached out to the courthouse I had my trial at on numerous occasions, and each time I was assured that this debt was not supposed to reflect my credit report. They told me to dispute it with credit reports and upload the documents I had from my trial. I called down to XXXX and spoke to someone from their customer service department about my situation. They brought to my attention a factor on why there was nothing they do on their end. On my court documents the plaintiff is titled XXXX XXXX XXXX. On my actual credit report it was titled IQ international Data/XXXX XXXX XXXX. I let the representative know that it was indeed the same entity. He then told me again there was not anything he could do unless the names matched exactly.

I moved out of XXXX XXXX apartment complex, XXXX XXXX XXXX FL, XX/XX/2020. They refused a final walk through and told me they had my forwarding address. I didn't give full 60 days notice and filled out paperwork stating the balance I would owe for the 15 days in XXXX. For months I never hear from them until I hear from a collection agency one night named IQ Data. I had read about this in some online complaints about the complex, but I had lived there 10 years and never late on rent or anything. I had a few maintenance issues, but that was it. I never thought this would happen to me. I had a good relationship with office personnel and management. So approximately 4 months later I'm called by a very rude and yelling young lady at about XXXX one evening that I owe an amount over {$1000.00} because of damages. I responded there weren't any damages to the apartment and that's why I asked for a final walkthrough because I was out 2 weeks prior to the end of my lease and could've had anything repaired if they said it was damaged. I finally received a letter from IQ data and responded saying I wouldn't pay without an itemized list of the damages. they sent a letter saying " damages ''. Not what was damaged. I am more than willing to pay what I owe, which should be less the {$150.00} deposit they kept for " damages ''. If you call IQ Data and ask for the person on the letter they always say that person isn't there and the same guy just yells. Now they've put this on my credit report which dropped my credit 90 points.

IQ International suddenly appeared on my XXXX XXXX report, which I check weekly, in the amount of {$1900.00}. They never sent me a letter or phoned to say this was owed. Apparently, this stemmed from an apartment that my significant other, XXXX XXXX, and I moved into with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. When the covid flu became widespread, and XXXX XXXX closed all the common amenities, they allowed us to move out in XXXX, XXXX. We would not owe any further rent upon rental to another family, they said, and in fact did rent to another family as of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX employee, XXXX XXXX, who rented to us ( and received our keys upon departing ), sent us a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX verifying that the new renters were there as of XX/XX/XXXX. When the IQ collections contacted XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, she told XXXX XXXX who reiterated that we did not owe anything to them or any collections agency. In addition, they volunteered that they had dropped IQ International as a collection company due to so many complaints. IQ International continued to harass XXXX by phone and mail until late XXXX, when they apparently stopped when she complained to CFPB. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I saw that IQ International showed up on my credit report ( I look at it weekly via XXXX XXXX as I'm working on getting my credit scores higher ). I have not been late on any bill for a number of years so this stood out. Please help me straighten this out as XXXX XXXX appears to be concocting a fake claim. Thank you, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX )

I.Q Data International put a collections on my credit from a prior apartment complex I use to live at. The lease had ended in XXXX of XXXX and I received a two month extension until XX/XX/XXXX but the apartment was horrible and inhabitable I had no air conditioning so I left and stayed in a hotel after it was never fixed and the apartment overheated. I did pay all of my rent up until that time and I stayed in a hotel temporarily until I moved into my current apartment. I have proof reciepts of the hotel stay that I was not in the apartment of which the original debt collecter XXXX XXXX is lying and saying I resided in the apartments unitl the end of XXXX when they claim they gained possession of the apartment. That is not true I moved out months prior to then and if that were to be true then that would be an illegal eviction as they filed a disspossery and I went to XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX of which XXXX XXXX didn't appear in court and told the court I moved out and monetary judgement of {$0.00}. A immediate same day writ of possession was entered in XXXX XXXX because I appeared in court and said I didn't live in the apartment so that would be an illegal eviction if they had me go to court in XXXX saying I live in the apartment then file a false collection saying they gained possession in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX. Data International is also committing fraud by posting this false information on XXXX credit report of deliquent rent payments for an apartment I did not live in nor have a lease agreement with or at.

In XXXX, I was living in an apartment for about 8 months, when I had to leave before the lease was up due to an abusive relationship and hostile living environment. I was contacted about a 8 months later from IQ data international. They called repeatedly until I answered and explained that I had this debt I needed to pay. They refused to allow me to do payment arrangements on a {$3500.00} charge until another 6 months later after repeated calls. Eventually, I paid {$1700.00} to get them off my back until they started calling my job and one individual cussed me out when I explained to him he was harassing me. Now, in XXXX of XXXX, almost 3 and a half years later, I have received a call once again regarding this issue. I explained to the woman, that they never attempted to contact me after the incident involving the harassment. Nor have they sent me any legit account information. She insisted that they did. I then told her why would they be calling all of this time later, and she relayed, that theres no statute of limitations on collecting a debt. Unfortunately, I work in a law office now and was able to research that in fact there are statutes of limitations on collecting debts. Ive never received any notice or written agreements regarding this debt nor paying what they are asking for. I did write a letter to the agency, asking for documentation and any conversations relating to this debt. I am eagerly waiting for their response as they have been given until XX/XX/XXXX, to forward any documentation.

Hello, I complained against IQ DATA collection company on XX/XX/2021. Complaint number XXXX. Unfortunately, this company is a XXXX. The company just did not submit the correct documents to you and invented very strange stories and legends. At the height of her XXXX, she approached all the credit companies against me and even at the height of her XXXX, she blocked my credit card. It hurt me in my economy and my family 's economy very much. It also hurt the excellent credit I had very much, And that's why I've been suffering for 9 months. Unfortunately, this company has no XXXX. Because she did all this during the difficult Covid-19 period, you went through all over America and the whole world. During this time I suffer greatly. I have contacted IQ DATA collection company many times. And I even proved to them that they were wrong. But unfortunately, it took so long till the company realized that they were wrong ( either they have no absorption, or they intended to hurt me ) after they realized, To date they have not removed their collection debt from all 3 credit bureau, Despite the many promises I received from them. And unfortunately, I had to turn to you again and ask for your help. Attached is a proof sheet of the mistake of the negligent collection company. I AM TRYING TO REFINANCE MY MORTGAGE BUT I CANT BECAUSE OF THIS COLLECTION COMPANY I demand from this despicable collection company. Immediately remove all the bad reports that have stuck to me from all 3 credit bureau companies.

From XXXX, I made several disputes on my credit report to report accuracy and validate the debts on my report. There is an account with the name IQ Data International in the amount of {$3200.00} that is being reported incorrectly on my report. It states on my report that the date of last payment was XX/XX/XXXX and I never made a payment to them on this date. In addition, the date of first delinquency is in not in XXXX of XXXX. I have attached the statement and email conversation from the original creditor accounts receivables manager who stated that the account was already sent to the credit bureau but she was going to allow me to take care of the balance to have it removed. No payment was ever sent in by me. The last date of delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX and this is not reflected properly. This account should be removed and report correctly and will also expire from my report in XXXX not XXXX. I have sent a settlement offer to the creditor to settle this account, in which I have yet to get a response on, however this is being accurately reported on my all of my reports. This is a violation of my rights according to the FCRA, IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL and these 3 credit bureaus have violated these rights of mine as a consumer. I also never received anything showing validation after my initial dispute in XXXX with the credit bureau, I had to do lots of research on my end to locate this statement in my email inbox. No proof of contract or communication was sent to actually validate and ensure it was correct.

I.Q. Data International Inc. has repeatedly called and harassed me at ridiculous hours, very late at night and extremely early in the morning. They are violating Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The 'debt ' is fake and I do not owe it. I even offered to settle this fake debt just to end the harassment and get it off of my otherwise excellent credit report. In my repeated attempts to settle and end the harassment, IQ Data 's sleazy reps told me on recorded phone lines that I would have to provide " financial information '' which I started to do but they would not tell me what they needed to know. They force people to answer one question at a time going deeper into personal Information with no end in sight. IQ Data refuses to outline what they need to know or why it matters or what settlement is possible.

I was contacted by IQ DATA and spoke with XXXX ext. XXXX. At the beginning of the call, XXXX was aggressive when I asked for account details and contact information. Once I expressed my concerns to XXXX, she adjusted her call technique temporarily. She took my financial information for the purpose of a hardship plan. I was placed on hold for an approval and offered me 2 payments for the full balance without anyone knowing this account existed. I questioned how that would be possible with the financial information I just provided to her. She became extremely aggressive and said she has loan companies she can put me in contact with to approve me for a loan to pay off this balance. I expressed to her that that was illegal, she could not offer to place me more into debt. She became extremely aggressive and expressed that she had been a collector for 20 years and other things. I asked for her to transfer me to her manager. She did and I spoke with XXXX ext. XXXX who represented herself as a manager. I ask her if she know what was going on with the account and asked her to move forward. She said I accused her employee of breaking the law and that I needed to tell her how and why because it affects her company and thats why all calls are recorded. I responded yes, but informed her to review the call as it was not my job to handle her compliance I wanted to resolve the debt. She demanded that I explain I continued to refuse. She screamed at me and refused to assist me in resolving the balance.

This happened in XXXX of XXXX. So I signed a lease at XXXX on XXXX in XXXX XXXX. Before I put any deposit money down, or any rent of any kind, my financial situation changed because of COVID-19 and I informed them I was no longer able to afford to pay rent. They told me I had to pay to get out of my lease and find someone to take over my lease ( which hadn't even be legally started ) I hadn't put any money down and couldn't afford to pay their fee. I contacted them and they told me " tough luck ''. I didn't pay and didn't move in. I started to get aggressive phone calls and emails about how I needed to pay a sizeable amount of money or otherwise I would be evicted ( once again, I never moved it, never put a deposit down, and also they legally couldn't evict me even if they wanted to because of a COVID-19 eviction moratorium in place ). They sent me a notice through e-mail saying I had been evicted and to return any keys ( didn't have any keys as I never moved in ). Then they got a collector to try to collect {$10000.00} from me. The collectors called me repeatedly and when I finally picked up the phone and explained the situation to them, they laughed at me on the phone and said " good luck with trying to get out of it '' even though I had never moved, never put down any kind of payment, and now I was being demeaned by a collector. The collector has been adding more money to what I owe them on my credit report and they're trying to scam me for a debt I legally do not owe.

I owed {$1800.00} for a termination fee of my old lease. I was told by my landlord to not worry about other payments, but now Im hit with an extra {$1600.00} I do not owe and was verbally told I do not owe. I have emails asking to confirm if its okay from XX/XX/XXXX. I still have no answer. All I have is a debt collector calling me. I went ahead and paid the {$1800.00} last night and they said I can dispute the rest. As I was sent to their senior advisor I was told they will not accept my dispute and they told me why as I told them I can not afford just to pay a straight up {$1600.00} yet again since I just paid the {$1800.00} moments earlier. I was told to this is due to your negligence. You should ask you friends, family, or anyone else you can and see if you can borrow {$1600.00} and pay them back. Because the penalty if they want to come for that is the least of your worries. I then repeated most of that and the lady got mad and told me shes terminating and waving my option to dispute even though she wouldnt let me. Now Im stuck with {$1600.00} I dont owe. No way to hold off the payment and a rude altercation by a debt collector over money I again do not feel like I owe. I tried to reach out to them in email and phone call. My company wrote a letter on my behalf and couldnt get a response. And I was locked out of the building twice in the middle of work days to talk further about the {$1800.00} and when I can pay it. I was told to dispute it and I am not allowed too.

I settled a debt with the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 with the then manager XXXX XXXX. I moved out of the unit, and out of state, a month prior. Upon communication with management, I returned on that day only to resolve the balance. I have check images showing the final payment signifying account closure that are not included on IQ Data International debt collection invoices. Upon initial contact with IQ Data International, the representative was extremely abusive, vulgar, and threatening. Upon my request for documentation, IQ Data International went silent for years and I am only recently seeing a credit dispute affecting my personal credit. After no response from IQ Data International, I followed up with the leasing property management directly who were able to furnish additional documents, however, showed varying amounts on all ends and the specific manager recalled our meeting but claimed ignorance of any events that took place. There was further evidence of modified invoicing due to over invoicing for several months that went unnoticed by management and myself. In conclusion, the XXXX XXXX have proven to have inaccurate record keeping ( varying amounts and invoices between IQ Data International and themselves ), and have merely pushed the account to an abusive debt collector because they are owned by a large conglomerate real estate magnate. Both companies show an incompetence in proper business practices and should cease abusive practices towards victim residents.

I contacted I.Q. Data International multiple times to inform that the balance associated to an account they hold and have reported to the credit bureaus has been satisfied. I provided proof on XX/XX/XXXX that the account had been satisfied prior to their inaccurate reporting and asked that the correction be made.

I contacted the company again with even more evidence that the amount had been satisfied with the original creditor, XXXX on XXXX, in XXXX of XXXX. As well the matter was resolved within the courts in the same month. I offered to provide the court documents pertaining to the matter, which were refused by the representative I spoke with who assured me that the correction would be made. I also disputed the informations accuracy with the credit bureaus who responded stating that I.Q. Data international states the information to be accurate, when in fact it is not, which I made them aware of from the initial point of contact to which I had to file a complaint due to violation of my UDAAP rights with a representative of the company in question. I have attached initial service receipt that shows when payment was initially processed, I have attached confirmation from operations manager for XXXX on XXXX that payment was in fact received, I have attached both the attorneys affirmation of judgment satisfaction and the motion to satisfy within the courts dated XX/XX/XXXX.

I was a resident of the XXXX XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX in XXXX of XXXX to XXXX of XXXX. My partner and I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX because I had lost my job and my partner bought a home ; however, I gave a notice of two months to the apartment manager. I turned the keys in on XX/XX/XXXX and gave my new address. At that point, management had quit including two staff and only a new girl was at the front. The apartment was cleaned, carpets cleaned and vacated. I was told I was good to go and the apartment was in great shape. Fast forward and in XXXX I received a move-out notice months later but I had already moved out and was told the apartment was rented. Then in XXXX of XXXX as well, I received a notice to vacate with instructions and the total amount due. I sent two emails requesting feedback as I was confused. I called and no one answered or responded ( I have documentation ). Then an {$8000.00} debt showed on my credit and when I reached XXXX billing they told me the XXXX was purchased and probably made a mistake with the confusion and lack of management. This is a serious allegation and a large debt that is completely accurate. I have never left an apartment abandoned and was a good-paying tenant. I am now having to hire an attorney because this is false and inaccurate information. I was able to speak to someone at the previous company, XXXX and they have no record of anything. This is false information that is affecting my livelihood.

XXXX XXXX apartments refused to dispute my charges, of {$430.00} and handed it to a IQ Data. When IQ Data first reached out, the representative was verbally aggressive towards me when I told him that I needed him to reach back out to the apartment complex because I didn't agree to the charges. He told me that because I didn't want to pay, it would reflect on my credit report. The calls stopped and it was reported on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. I then started getting calls three times a day every day. Then they called me at my office in XX/XX/XXXX. I told them not to call back so they started harassing me on my personal phone instead. I finally answered and ask for a dispute again. They had me send my concerns and proof at XXXX. I sent it to them on XXXX but the calls didn't stop after. I told them I had sent it. I sent them a desist letter asking them to stop harassing me on XXXX and it was delivered XX/XX/XXXX. Following that letter, they called me on XX/XX/XXXX and they called my husband two times right after calling me to dispute the debt with XXXX XXXX. I sent a request to the three main creditors, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, to dispute the credit inquiry. They followed up with a letter, on XXXX letting me know that they will not conduct an investigation to dispute the charges and are charging me {$38.00} in fees plus XXXX percent per annum. Apparently I know owe them {$480.00}. I never agreed to paying late fees or the debt that they keep saying that I owe.

I.Q. Data International , inc. has a debt collection falsely appearing on my credit report for the total amount of {$4400.00}. The alleged original creditor name is XXXX XXXX apartments, where I have not ever lived or applied to live. The date appearing on my credit report as the open date for this collection is XX/XX/2017. Immediately upon learning of the debt I contacted the collection agency, I.Q. Data International and advised that the debt was fraudulent and did not belong to me. I requested the address to mail in a dispute letter and the representative hung up on me. Each time I called back requesting to speak with a supervisor, the representative hung up on me. I then used XXXX to locate XXXX XXXX XXXX phone number and left urgent voicemails to contact me in regards to the fraudulent debt collection. After approximately one month with no response, I used XXXX to find the corporation that manages XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was asked to submit a copy of my current rental lease, which I did XXXX at the time was XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told that the debt collection would be deleted due to the account not belonging to me upon furnishing my then current rental lease, however that did not ever occur. All continued attempts to request removal of the fraudulent debt collection have not been answered by I.Q. Data International, XXXX XXXX XXXX, or XXXX XXXX XXXX. These communication attempts have been via phone and written letters to the companies.

I was contacted by IQ Data International on XX/XX/XXXX. The first person that I spoke to was XXXX XXXX. She was using aggressive language, yelling, and using talking tactics that appeared they are my only hope and they will take action against me, for a bill that is not mine. I asked to speak to someone higher and she connected me with XXXX. XXXX was kind and I asked him for the mailing address for the company which he gave me ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Washington. XXXX ) I told him that I was going to submit a letter requesting information. I did so on XX/XX/XXXX. In the letter, I requested that the company provide me information on themselves, a copy of an agreement between them and me, and additional information on this supposed bill that they claim I owe. I also requested that they stop attempts to reach me by phone and that I only want to be contacted by mail. I have not received a response from that letter but I did receive my certified letter stating that they accepted and received it on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX am. Since then I have been contacted by XXXX XXXX where I have told her that this is in dispute and that I want to be contacted by mail and not phone. After that call, I was contacted again on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX XXXX XXXX from the number XXXX and again by the same number on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are in violation by ignoring my certified letter and contacting me by phone. They need to stop. The debt that they claim I owe is not valid.

I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 130 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

I contacted IQ Data international today about a collection on my credit report in the amount of XXXX for The XXXX at XXXX. I first spoke with XXXX to request a copy of the charges and she absolutely refused to send them to me. She would not let me speak and was very rude. She only wanted to speak to me if I was going to pay, but why would I pay for something if I don't know what it's for. I called back again and got someone named XXXX or reconnected me to XXXX, again I got no where. I called back a third time and spoke to XXXX, he also refused to send me the summary of charges. He then proceeded to tell me that the charges he received were actually only a screenshot and that they were cut off. He told me to go to the complex. I did go to the complex and was told that they had no record of my charges their from 2018. They gave me the phone number and email address for tenant relations for the management company XXXX based out of California, I live in Virginia. I called them 4 times today and left XXXX messages. I also sent XXXX emails and received no response back. I am just trying to get to the bbottom of this and get this incorrect debt off of my credit report. I believe that IQ Data also retaliated today as a result of my calling them to request correct information my dinging my XXXX report right after I talked to them and dropped me XXXX more points. I was told bybthe XXXX court of XXXX, va that I do not have any evictions or judgements against me.

I never received a letter by mail or anything prior regarding a right to dispute from IQ DATA International IN. They called my employer maybe about two months ago and when I called back to check what it was regarding they were rude and told me I had no choice but to pay it. I hung up. Now it is showing on my credit for {$3500.00} and I have no idea what it is for. Today, XX/XX/2023, around XXXX, I contacted their XXXX number and the representative told me that he did not have any information to verify the debt. When I asked what my option was to verify the debt he told me that I can dispute it or write a letter to the company asking them to verify the debt. When I asked the representative for the address to send the letter he told me he did not have the address, wished me luck, and hung up on me. When I called back, another representative answered and told me the same but discouraged me from writing a letter saying that " sending a letter will cause the lender to say that I confirmed the debt was mine '' and that it was " not the safe thing to do. '' He told me that he sees it happen all the time and tried to encourage me to file a dispute through him at a charge. When I asked what the charge would be, he kept insisting on me giving my address first so that he can send me some paperwork. I told him I would just call back and he told me to be careful when I call back because " they will confirm the debt. '' All of this sounds like harassment and lies.

For 4 years, I have tried to resolve this issue. In XXXX, I spoke with an account representative at IQ Data named XXXX XXXX, who began yelling at me over the phone as to why I could not afford to pay the account. He told me he does not care about any of my reasons and he will make sure I can never own a home, demanding I pay or there will be consequences. He would talk over me and not listen to anything I had to say. I hung up the phone and called the main line at IQ Data where I explained the situation. The lady on the phone said that XXXX 's behavior was inappropriate and they were transferring my account to another agent. She assured me " you will never have to speak with XXXX XXXX again as we do not handle business in that manner and I apologize for the treatment. '' Two years later, I called again to resolve the account and they told me " XXXX XXXX has since been promoted to manager and will be handling your account-you can only speak to him. '' That time on the phone, XXXX said he didn't recall how he spoke with me last time and so he refuses to move my account to someone else. I attempted to pay the original balance and he said I need to pay him an additional {$600.00} of an illegitimate debt. Please see attached supporting documents of correspondence. I drafted a letter to this agency outlining timeline of events and why this debt is illegitimate. I did not receive a response. I also included information from Data IQ attached.

I got a notice in the mail regarding a debt owed from my apartment lease that I broke in Florida. They called me to pay the debt, I said I couldnt come up with the {$2200.00} they were requiring but I could make payment arrangements bi weekly to ensure I am trying to pay the collection. They told me they wouldnt work with me and that they needed it all at once. The representative repeatedly talked down to me and kept asking me to borrow money from a family member, take out a loan, or put in on a credit line. I offered {$170.00} bi weekly ( totaling $ XXXX ) to start, they said no. From then, I had made a few payments totaling around {$500.00} because they kept calling me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I offered them {$1200.00} for a settlement, he declined. He said the most they could take it down to was {$1500.00} but it would still affect my credit for 5-7 years, but that if I paid the total amounting in {$1700.00} he would clear it off my credit. On XX/XX/2023, the same representative ( XXXX XXXX ) called me and asked to once again clear the debt. I told him that I dont have that amount to give him and he asked well what happened to the {$1200.00} you were willing to pay before? What happened to the bi weekly payments you were going to guarantee us? You need to ask a family member to resolve this. I asked if he was calling to lecture me or assist me in setting up payments and his reply was ok XXXX I am going to put you down as a refusal to pay, bye.

XX/XX/2022 ( between XXXX and XXXX CT ) I started out offering to take care of the debt owed. I only asked that it be removed off of my credit report, or for them to send me a letter or email stating that it will be removed from my credit report upon payoff of the ddebt. The lady I had spoken with stated she would ask what she could do to get it removed. She stated her supervisor wasn't going to send me any correspondence about removing it, but that it would be removed if I paid it off in full by the end of the month, that's what they were requiring. I told her I couldn't do that, she asked how much I could pay, I said {$50.00} a month until it's paid off. She said to let her talk to her supervisor about it, moments later he came on the phone aggressively telling me that he isn't sending anything and it had to be paid in full by the months end or it wouldn't be removed from my credit. I said I need to have proof it'll be removed they said again that they wasn't sending anything about it to me. I said it's unrealistic for me to pay it off by the end of the month since I have other bills to pay, and XXXX that live with me. I said again I can pay {$50.00} a month until it's paid off, he said he doesn't need me to pay anything because they have my work info and they'll take me to court that he doesn't care, and he was talking over everything I was saying so I toldld him not to threaten me, and I told him I was disconnecting the call.

First time was XX/XX/XXXX The male debt collector was very rude and verbally abusive used profanity and other words and made me cry and said it was his job to make me cry instead of trying to work with me and figure this situation out so I told him he could consider it paid. Then I heard back from them Monday, XXXX XXXX this is to different people. They were nice with me and we made a plan. However, they wanted me to contact loan companies to get a loan for {$4000.00} I didnt know how I was supposed to get them denial letters. She didnt want to give me an email address. I was given until this Friday which would be XX/XX/XXXX, so I called back today which is Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX. I didnt get to speak with the person in charge of my account she didnt transfer me I dont know what happened anyway this lady was really rude started going off on me telling me what was happening with the debtor. The person who sent the debt talking over me telling me I have a house how do you have that youre on a fixed income, I feel like she was coming at me and not giving me a chance to give my side and explain my situation. Ive already explain my situation three other times, but I called them to find out. How do I send denial letters I was given an email I had to repeat myself multiple times. I finally just hung up because she wouldnt stop speaking over me and yelling at me, the original debt was XXXX and now its {$4000.00} I need help thank you

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted IQ Data again, who claimed that there was no documentation attached to my file. I resubmitted my evidence, and received verbal confirmation that they received my email. I contacted them again on XX/XX/XXXX, when I was told that the department that handles disputes had sent out two dispute emails to XXXX XXXX but had not received any response. I was told all I could do was wait. I contacted IQ Data Inc again on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that the dispute department had no made any progress on my case, nor had they made any additional attempts to contact XXXX XXXX. I was once again told to wait it out. I contacted them again, today on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that the dispute department had not made any additional contact attempts since XXXX of XXXX and that all I could do was 'try and send them an email and see if they will do anything for you.

I called to try and settle the debt today XXXX and talked to a rep. She did a hardship application and offered me to settle for {$1500.00}. I asked her to settle and delete off credit report for {$1200.00}. She said she would transfer me to someone who was " more lenient ''. That person said no they would not offer me anything different and started telling me I dont pay my bills raising their voice. I asked to talk to a supervisor. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and transferred me to a voicemail that didnt work. I called back and was hungup on. I called back and was transferred to XXXX. He said he is the end all be all of that office and there was no supervisor above him. I asked him about settling and he said he actually deleted the offer and was going to give the offer any more and would not be deleting on the credit either because he didnt have to and they didnt have to offer anything. He refused to let me talk to someone else and just sat there on the phone. I asked how it was legal for them to offer me a offer and just because I asked to talk to a supervisor after being yelled at now they will not offer me a settlement and refuse to ever delete on my credit too. XXXX also refused to tell me statute of limitations and the exact date it went into the office and refused to work with me without any reason at all. They are being very vindictive and retaliatory when I am just trying to settle this.

There are various different false collections and auto loans that happen to be appearing onto my credit report and I would like to get them removed... There is XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX that was opened XX/XX/2020 that I was not aware of until just recently when I tried to acquire things with credit and saw that my score had dropped tremendously throughout the past few month with out me noticing because I was trying to build it and not spend any credit for the time being as I saved for a home. It turns out the XXXX was repossessed from whoever was the owner but for some reason my credit and consumer report were attacked. I had my information breached onto the XXXX XXXX a few years back but I had no clue it could get this serious. There is also a collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX and the original creditor is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which I would assume is an apartment complex. Thing is i've never lived in this complex it seems like maybe my information may have been falsely used. When i call the complex to ask about proof of Me being the person who signed ( knowing that i wasnt ) they never send me any documentation saying that I was the one who signed a contract ... because I didnt.. I would really like to get both of these removed from my credit and consumer report as its been hindering me from finally getting the home i was ready to put a down payment on and various other things that require credit.

I have wrote several letters to XXXX and the creditor IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL to verify the inaccurate information that they are still reporting to my credit report. It has been over a year and I still havent got a response from them. I have sent certified letters to XXXX on the dates of - XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Also sent letters to IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL and they picked it up at USPS on the dates of - XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Upon this date of XX/XX/XXXX they still havent respond to verify the inaccurate account that is reporting on my credit which is IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL. Please delete this item - IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL - from my credit report as soon as possible. There was no real investigation on both their parts and still havent respond for a whole year and a half with verification. Federal law requires them to respond within 30 days yet haven't responded for a whole 365 days plus. XXXX is going against my consumer laws for still having inaccurate items reporting to my credit report One of the few laws they failing to abide by [ 15 USC 1681E ] and again they STILL HAVE NOT RESPONDED FOR MORE THAN 365 DAYS which is CLEARLY breaking the validation law so I am in the process of suing them for defamation of character. Copies of my letters and receipts to both XXXX and IQ data international will be attached please look at the dates PLEASE DELETE IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL FROM MY CREDIT REPORT.

This is a 2nd request for calculations of debt. The company state based in ledger but just inputed information. First, I signed option 2 on lease but the company charged me option 1 which is {$3200.00} and on ledger. The company made adjustments as shown on ledger when asked for calculations but never provided the actual calculations. Imliable for difference what I owe and they obtain from release.

I am currently in process of making a large purchase, and before I ran my credit I performed a credit check and saw IQ Data International pop up and is reporting an amount of {$2400.00}. I have no clue who this is or was, so I XXXX searched the company and I called them. They asked me some questions and if I ever rented an apartment in XXXX? I said no and I have no clue why this is popping up. I then was grilled about people I do not know and was asked if I ever co signed for anyone.. which is a no. I was told I would receive a fraud packet to fill out and return. Waiting for mail and nothing so I called again, a week later, was asked about an address I never even heard of and was told they are resending it out. Waiting again nothing. So we are out 3 weeks now. I called today and Im being told it may take up to 10 business days from today! Why? I again was also grilled about living in this apartment, my social security info and place of residence. I feel completely violated and want this issue to be resolved asap! This is completely unfair and Im being treated as if this is my debt and I know what is going with it. I have never heard from these people ever! Also am being asked to provide documentation that I do not have!!! Its ridiculous. I am ok with policy and procedures, but I feel that its taking way to long to fix the issue and also being probed about something I have no clue about.

IQ Data International IncXXXX is a third party collector. I was renting an apartment in XXXX XXXX NV. In XX/XX/2018 my lease was set to expire. The property was purchased by new owner and name the apartment XXXX XXXX. My apartment, air conditioner, stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer was in need of repairs and also the complex was roach infested. The new owners was remodeling the apartment by sections. I was told by the apartment managers that they would not be making any repairs because they were remodeling every unit with new appliances and hardwood floors instead of carpeting. I was offered to moved into a remodeling unit at increased rent and the renewal of my lease. I advised them and gave them a written 30 days notice that I did not want to move into a higher rent apartment and that I would not be renewing my lease. The building I lived in was the next building scheduled to be remodel and I was one of the last tenents. I was offer if I could move out by the XXXX of XXXX, they would agree to forgive the 24 days of my lease and any fees due. I agreed and moved out and return all keys on XX/XX/2018. They forward me a bill for cost on XX/XX/2018 and wrote them back about the fees and the agreement. They sent me an updated bill dated XX/XX/2018 evidencing the write off of all fees. However, XXXX XXXX did not want to honor the agreement and apparently sold this to a debt collector.

On XX/XX/2019, I notice that on my credit report in all 3 credit bueras appears collection debts I did not recognize.Around same time I start to receive calls from collection agency very random times and day. I contact them for details and they forward me to collection agency which provide me with details about original creditor ( apartment complex ) which I did not recognize. I ask for detail to provide me. It's appear that third party did use some of my information to obtain lease agreement. I did request to remove this collection as its not belong to me. XXXX agency did remove this collection, however XXXX and XXXX did not. I did request from them more information. XXXX send me information IQ Data International provide to them. When I did compare with details I was provided from IQ Data International I notice some number and the names for a fees was different which make me completely doubts about if creditor know what it reports. I forward those 2 different copies to XXXX and XXXX by mail to request remove it from my credit report cuz now I saw it was not only not mine debts but also no consistency in this collection. I did not get any respond on mail from this bureaus, only online they updated that collection been verified. On docs I will attached you can see those inconsistencies on that collection. I will also provide you bank statement with my residency at that period time.

They were contacted on XX/XX/2021 about an account appearing on my credit bureau. A collection account for an apartment in a state I have never resided in, or co signed for anyone in that state. I informed them I had been a victim of ID theft and that my personal information had been used. I informed them that a FTC report was submitted. A police report was submitted. There are fraud alerts on all XXXX major credit bureaus, in addition to XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. My iformation is as locked down as I can get it. They sent me a fraud packet I completed this and sent it back. That was XXXX weeks ago. Today I called and was greeted by " we have been trying to resolved your bad debt you owe for 2 years now ''. I explained it wasn't mine again etc. To which I was told " as far as we are concerned we purchased good debt that you will pay back ''. I said I don't owe this. You have everything you asked for to resolve this so can I find out when this might have a resolution? NO. NO?! I said you are ruining my credit. I have never had a collection in my life, I am not late with my creditors and I cant purchase home until it is resolved. Not our problem, pay this and we go away... WOW. Not how a legit business should be operating. I am attaching everything that proves I have done what was asked. Now they need to process this and remove this from my XXXX XXXX file immediately

This company is attempting to collect money I do not owe this is a falsified debt and also I tried to contact this company and they began to threaten to sue me and they were very disrespectful to me. I asked to see proof of contract between me and the original creditor to see what was going on they didnt send any information I also asked to see proof of the original lease agreement I never received that as well. This is a clear violation of the FCRA and FDCPA they are using untruthful and unfair tactics in order to scam me out of money. I want to see all of the necessary proof that I requested which is my right and failure to produce those documents within 30 days could very well result in a lawsuit in which I will seek compensation for the damage that this company is doing to my life and my credit report. I want the original signed contract by me also I want the original lease agreement signed by me also I want to see the payment history between me and the alleged landlord or company that rented the place as wel as a copy of my ID Card used to obtain this service or property and my SSN card. They have violated numerous of my rights once they threatened me and tried to lie as if I really owed them this amount of money when I do not this is not my debt at all I am also requesting copies of the original security deposit receipt and the proof reimbursement receipt as well

I was contacted after my balance went to collections from a apartment community I had vacated from back on XX/XX/2018 with a written notice. I had a lot of financial hardships at that time that prevented me to pay on time and I did not have an address to provide for any mail that needed to be forwarded. I received a call from a representative at I.Q Data international who was very hostile and used threatening language towards me stating, that they will come after me. They continually harassed me for months at a time. They currently have a collection on my account that goes up every month due to interest but the balance is incorrect, which I tried disputing in I believe XXXX of 2018 through XXXX XXXX but it did not help. I went on to I.Q Data international website to see if I could find the amount due on the account and it shows incorrect. The balance reads the following : Original Principal Balance {$7400.00} Current Interest Balance {$2200.00} Current Balance {$13000.00} Current balance on my credit report States {$13000.00} When I add my Principal balance and Interest balance it comes out to : {$9700.00}. This is a HUGE difference. Please help me get rid of this collection, this company is hard to deal with and to communicate with and has reported false and incorrect information to the credit agencies. Documents are attached showing the balance discrepancy.

I have been trying to remove these fraudulent charges IQ DATA from my credit numerous times. XXXX is done with their so called investigation less than 24 hpurs after i dispute it and now won't allow me to dispute it at all. BOTH other reporting agencies have removed it because it is unlawful. In XX/XX/2018 my XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter were in a XXXX XXXX situation for our safety I had to leave the state abrubtly and relocate..XXXX XXXX XXXX ( purchased by XXXX homes AFTER my tenancy ) was aware of the situation. Never once was I informed of ANY of the charged they are reporting fraudulently. That home was left unlocked with a key left the inside at THEIR request. I have requested documentation for this {$16000.00} debt that is OUTLANDISH and haven't received anything from either company detailing WHAT and HOW I owe that money. I was never notified of the debt or given the opportunity to defend myself against this debt or even that it existed at all until it hit my credit. If there's a judgement I was never informed That's FRAUDULENT and illegal! It's been disputed a thousand times it's been completely removed from my other reports as FRAUDULENT and now i need someone to PLEASE help me remove this absurd amount of non existing debt that wasnt incurred by me from XXXX. This has held me back from having a place to live for my child for 2-3years and I deserve answers.

I signed as a lease guarantor for my grandson to rent an apartment on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a voicemail message from the leasing agent that she needed to talk to me about some issues that had experienced with my grandson but she would be sending an email with more details. I received the email along with a letter from an attorney dated XX/XX/XXXX alleging that XXXX 's behavior on the premise had violated the lease agreement. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX was served a 3 day notice to quit. His rent was paid thru XX/XX/XXXX, he never paid late and there was no damage to the building. I contacted the leasing office to request protocol for paying the rent for XX/XX/XXXX and requested additional time for XXXX to vacate given it was holiday season. I was told that the XXXX XXXX would not accept additional payments from me because the eviction notice had been served. XXXX returned his key and vacated the premises on XX/XX/XXXX. IQ Data reported a collection account against me in XX/XX/XXXX. I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX or IQ Data regarding an unpaid debt until after I called them. When I contacted IQ Data I was told to pay or the collection information would remain on my credit. They say if I pay, " we can make it go away. In believe that if XXXX XXXX believed that I owed any money they would have contacted me since my contact information never changed.

A collection account was placed on my XXXX credit file XX/XX/2019. Upon reviewing this item on my credit file, I responded with a dispute letter, requesting additional information on this account. After realizing that the item was wrongly placed on my credit file, XXXX removed the item, then reinserted it about a month later without properly notifying me. Violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act law which requires the consumer reporting agency to notify the consumer through a written letter within five business days after the determination is made. However during my very own investigation, I was able to contact the alleged debt seller of this account. Attached along with this correspondence, is an Email from a representative at XXXX XXXX apartments in XXXX Texas. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. Phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX. The gentleman was unable to verify any claim that I signed a lease agreement at the above apartment complex. Further more, despite numerous requests, XXXX and this debt buyer have failed to show any details about the age and of the original source, a detailed explanation of any interest, the date the original creditor claims the debt became delinquent. According to the FCRA, IQ Data International and XXXX have violated my rights as a consumer. And I am requesting legal action to remove this account from my credit file immediately.

This letter is a formal dispute and request for investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 et seq. The FCRA mandates credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate information in consumer reports. The following provisions support my dispute : 1. 15 USC 1681e ( b ) - Accuracy of Information : This requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum accuracy in consumer reports. The inaccurate names and addresses negatively impat the accuracy of my credit report. 2. 15 USC 1681i - Duty to Investigate : This provision obligates credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of their credit report. I request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies. 3. 15 USC 1681c - Disclosure of Consumer Reports : This stipulates that consumer reports should only include relevant and creditworthiness-related information. The inaccurate names and addresses do not contribute to an accurate representation of my creditworthiness and should be removed. I kindly request that you investigate the accuracy of the names and addresses associated with my credit report, remove the inaccurate accounts, and provide me with a free copy of my updated credit report. Failure to address this dispute may result in legal action as permitted by the FCRA. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

It was reported by I.Q. Data International that I owed a debt of over {$2800.00} for the property XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL. I contacted I.Q. Data International on XX/XX/XXXX and explained that my statement of deposit from XXXX XXXX indicated that I owed {$1300.00}. I provided a copy of the statement by email to management, XXXX XXXX, on that date. I subsequently made 2 payments equal to {$1300.00}. I was told that this would close my account and they would mail me a receipt and do a " Pay to delete '' of this account from my credit report. After 3 weeks of no correspondence with I.Q. Data International, I called to inquire why there were no changes to my account. I was told that the original owner of the debt, XXXX XXXX, would need to concur that this debt was paid and they had no communication from them. I was also told that they could take as long as they wanted. I then reached out to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, where I was told that my debt was to the previous property management team, XXXX XXXX. The property has been under new management since XXXX of XXXX and there is no record of my debt with the new property management. I have contacted XXXX Properties and have been unable to reach anyone other than a answering machine. I have emailed twice to email XXXX with no response. I would like my account to be resolved as promised and removed from my record.

We stayed in the Apartment ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) ( not properly walkthrough fixed many things took 3 months ) ) last three years and moved out because of the Roches and vandalism every year ) We have small kids and affecting their health, unhygienic situations because apartment management fails to maintain the property. Last three years of destruction, we lost about a good amount of money ( complaint in XXXX police department ). Agreed to terminate the contract, and we arranged to pay the termination fees of {$2300.00}. When we are moved out, we ask you ; please give a payment plan we can pay off. The Apartment said no, and you will get a final invoice, and you can pay there. After I noticed that they sent to termination fee collection company IQ data international, we are still not getting any final invoice from IQ data global. When they called, I gave credit card. They said they would not take XXXX XXXX. This company was treated very disrespectfully and threatening that if you are not paying the amount, we put information in a credit report, or you will go to jail face the consequences consequence. We beg them please give payment plan because of the uncertain situations about the job we request we will pay off within 3 months. they said we can do but regardless we will put this on your credit and you need to get a loan or a high amount to pay off.

I spoke with IQ Data Solutions to try and resolve an incorrect debt. I have been transferred to a woman name " XXXX or XXXX '' quite a few times who has been nothing but belligerent and overwhelmingly aggressive in all our phone conversations. She mentioned that I am a liar about them yelling at my under aged child. My daughter answered my phone prior and someone yelled at her and thought she was me just because she doesnt have a child like voice. They have done this several times as my daughter sounds a lot older than she is. I have been called out of my name and everything under the sun but a child of XXXX. They have contacted my husbands cell phone at XXXX and XXXX XXXX which is illegal. My husband and I are at a crossroads and trying to get this debt settled and removed from our credit reports, but this company is relentless with the belittling tactics. This company is extremely abusive, aggressive, and unprofessional. We can not continue trying to contact them and deal with them when they treat us less than human. I spoke with the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX manager, XXXX and she mentioned that there is nothing they can do because the debt was sold. She said I can try and contact Corporate, XXXX who doesn't answer my emails. There has to be another way to resolve this as I can not contact a company where employees call me derogatory names.

I have negative reporting on my credit report from IQ Data International in reference to monies owed to an Apartment complex in the state of Georgia. I told them it was not me and that I never lived in Georgia. I used to date a young lady there and she and her family members took it upon themselves to forge my name on an apartment and a utility billing addendum. When I contacted the credit bureaus they just said the debt was validated. I asked for a copy of the lease agreement but they had the collection agency to send me what they are using as proof of validation which was not an apartment rental lease agreement but only an utility billing addendum. When I saw what they provided, it was clearly not my signature. My name was printed out not signed and the other parties on the utility addendum had signed signatures. I responded to the credit bureaus and the collection agency with a letter in which I both signed and printed my name. I also sent them a copy of my drivers license and social security card showing the signatures did not match. They are still reporting this and I asked that it be deleted. Anyone can walk in with others and say they are me and print my name on a document but if there isnt a signed lease, thats because I was not a tenant in that apartment unit. I want that debt removed from my credit report immediately. Thank you

On XX/XX/23 I contacted company IQ DATA to try to resolve debt I asked if i can settle for less and if they offer the option to pay for deletion off credit report they stated my account didn't qualify for a settlement because my account was not in good standing which is fine i then asked for other payment options but they refuse to make any arrangements with me I was advised to pay balance in full or nothing at all I repeatedly asked for payment options to resolve because I couldn't pay in full and was denied of any other option i was threatened that if I didn't pay today that they would never remove from my credit report even if I paid in full on a future date so I'm being denied a resolution to resolve this debt that I'm willing to pay in full in the form payment installments the representative ( s ) was very rude, very insulting, very unprofessional and seem to be working on a personal level tactics and using past communications against me and not business level tactics to do what is best for their clients I'm trying to take care of this debt they are making it very difficult to resolve I'm sure these tactics goes against compliance and company policies and needs to be addressed immediately and do they have the right to deny payments from a consumer and to clarify no abusive language or profanity was used by debt collection agency

My family and I moved from an apartment complex owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC, in XX/XX/XXXX. A charge of {$500.00} and {$130.00} was applied to our credit report by the leasing agency, Lease Term Solutions of NC. The charge was regarding treatments of a pest infestation that initially occurred before moving into the apartment a year earlier, in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX Properties homeowners insurance should have been applied to correct this problem, but instead, we ( the tenant ) were billed, and eventually, the item was placed on our credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, we made a visit in person to the XXXX XXXX apartment complex office to rectify the issue. The attending agent informed us that several leasing agencies held the leasing contract over the last several years. After searching diligently through the current and historical data, the representative could not locate the charges in any of the files. She didnt even know which collection agency that was trying to collect these charges. We went to our collection report and filed a dispute. The result came back as this is a valid and accurate collection account from IQ Data International. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called IQ Data requesting the incorrect data be removed, and they promptly refused. We are contacting your agency to help us get these two items removed from our credit report.

I XXXX XXXX the consumer and natural person am seeking remedy from IQ DATA INT. They are in violation of the FDCPA Laws as you can see in Exhibit A, B, and C. They are in violation of 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ), by reporting on my consumer report and ruining my reputation. On XX/XX/2021 I sent IQ DATA INT a debt validation letter by certified mail ( exhibit B ) it was received and sign for on XX/XX/2021. Today is now XX/XX/2021. I have not received anything from IQ DATA INT. As you are aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that they had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean IQ DATA INT agrees with me that this debt is false. IQ DATA INT failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and still continued to keep reporting a disputed debt to the Consumer reporting agencies another FCRA violation. By doing so and by reporting this debt to the Consumer reporting agencies it is causing damage to my character and that is Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ) Pursuant to 15 USC 1692k - Civil liability, 15 USC 1692k ( a ) ( 1 ) and 15 USC 1692k ( 2 ) ( a ). I want remedy by paying the invoice included of {$2000.00} and immediate Deletion from all consumer reports for my Federally protected consumer rights. please investigate this matter and help me from further harassment.

I filed a complaint against IQ data international for violating the FCRA and the FDCPA they have not provided me with any notices and have not given a copy if the original contract. They said partially on reaponse " In XXXX of 2022 we received a new address for the consumer and a new initial notice was mailed to the consumer at the address provided with this complaint, which was not mail returned and was deemed received. Prior to our receipt of this complaint, our office reached out to our client in response to a dispute from the consumer. Our client provided a signed leased, move out statement, and full ledger to confirm the balance on file as accurate. '' I provided no signed move out statement this is a lie. I never received any notice at all. However the law provides a consumer can opt out of their information being shared at any time. I am also supposed to get a notice every 30 days before they report. I have not been given that opportunity. They also cite a statement that says they MAY report unpaid balances to collection agencies but that is with the consent of the consumer I give no such consent. I am instructing them to stop reporting negative information to my consumer report in order to coerce me into paying a disputed account this is again against the law. These are clear violations of federal law.

I even tried to pay for some of the debt in XXXX, just so I can get an apartment, they refused to accept payment stating that I need to pay all of the debt. I have sent in this information from my divorce decree and still reporting this on my credit report. Also name is incorrect on this report, and date that it was reported is incorrect according to my credit report. In the first week of XX/XX/XXXX, someone went to an apartment that i was in and was looking for me, they went to the front office to ask for my information from the front office lady, telling them that they were inquiring about some land that I own ( I don't own any land ) she told them that she wasn't giving them any information, she described to me what he looked like. A few days later when I was taking my kids to school I seen the man in a dark blue vehicle outside of my gate. I was pulling out and he pulled in and stared at me. I knew it was the same person from the description that was given to me from the front desk lady. I don't appreciate being followed because I have small kids and I dont know what that persons intentions are

I went to court in XXXX with my old property management company, XXXX XXXX. I agreed to move, and the case was Sealed by a Judge so it would not impact me moving or appear on my credit report. I was told to use my funds towards moving and last I checked, I had a {$0.00} balance with them. I had no clue this was in collections or on my credit report until XX/XX/XXXX while applying to move to a new location. I reached out to the debt collection company IQ DATA, they would not help. They actually yelled at me and hung up the call without helping me get information on this account. They claimed they sent me a recent letter with the charges but I have yet to receive it almost 2 months later. I've provided proof to XXXX, IQ DATA and the rental company I'm applying to but no one will explain how to get this removed. The companies involved keep saying they have no control over what they report and I need to take it to someone else to get it resolved. I've done my own research and according to CA Law, if a Landlord Tenant issue is sealed by the court it can not be reported on your credit. IQ DATA is also adding a lot of interest fees on this account even though that is also supposed to be illegal. I've reached out to the original creditor XXXX XXXX and they also confirmed there is a {$0.00} balance as of XX/XX/XXXX.

I am extremely upset and angry regarding the outrageous behavior I encountered during a recent call with representatives of IQ Data on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XX/XX/2023 The representative continually threatened to ruin my credit score and insinuated that he would send the recorded call to law enforcement. I did not threaten the representative or raise my voice during any of these interactions. These tactics are illegal and highly upsetting. I'm currently in a legal process to resolve this debt with my landlord, who never should have transferred it to collections to start with. I explained the lapse of communication with the management and offered to provide additional documentation and details during the call with IQ, only to have your rep immediately dismiss my dispute like it was pointless. This is absolutely unacceptable, especially when someone informs you that they have already initiated a legal dispute, why would you continue to try to collect the funds? On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with agent XXXX XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX a representative named XXXX who wouldn't provide his last name. I believe IQ Data 's actions violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). No false statements, no unfair practices, and definitely no harassment. Yet, the representative blatantly violated these rules.

I would like to file a formal complaint against IQ. Data International Inc, for unfair practices in attempt to collect allege debt which was disputed as fraudulent not belonging to me. On or around XX/XX/2021, I received a notification from my credit monitoring services IQ Data International placed a major derogatory collection item in the amount of {$570.00}, on my Equifax credit report, which I immediately denied as fraudulent not belonging to me. ( see attachment ) Please note IQ Data International violated the FCRA & FDCPA refused to send written correspondence to consumers home address, denied consumers right to dispute said debt prior to reporting to credit bureaus. I immediately reached out to IQ Data International requested validation of said debt, not a standard letter with amount which consumer have every legal right for detailed information regarding collection activities. ( see attached letter ) To date IQ Data International is refusing to validate said debt as outlined in my letter dated XX/XX/2021, and refused to remove the derogatory collection item from my credit reports in direct violation of FRCA & FDCPA. Therefore, I am requesting your office to investigate this unfair practice and if found in violation enact or enforce laws to protect consumers from this abusive practice.

XXXX XXXXXXXX Original Balance {$3200.00} current balance over {$4000.00} IQ Data International, XXXX Credit reporting. I have contacted and disputed this inaccuracy on my credit report with XXXX and the creditor numerous times. Asking that this debt be verified. After dispute is completed I am receiving a credit report with no verification stating that the debt has been validated. I have received nasty calls from the creditor. I have tried to resole with creditor and also have requested the information that was purchased by them bearing my signature of the debt. I have explained the debt does not belong to me and to have this removed from my report I have made several goodwill 's to the creditor in an attempt to clear up the debt with both XXXX and the collection agency, still no verification of this debt has been provided. This inaccuracy represents a very serious error on my credit report with XXXX. My rights have been violated. Furthermore, interest is being added. This is also documentation that I requested from the creditor, why is the debt increasing. No one has provided me ay documents that I haver requested showing any proof of the debt bearing my signature as well as the debt adding interest. Four years this has been hindering me. I need this debt to be removed from my credit report.

My credit was pulled back in XX/XX/2020 10 times dates being XX/XX/20 twice on XX/XX/2020 twice in XX/XX/2020 once XX/XX/2020 once XX/XX/2020 once XX/XX/2020 once XX/XX/2020 and once XX/XX/2020. I found this out by checking my credit report ( in which I do twice a year ). After seeing that, I put a lock on my credit. 5 Months later I get a notification on my report stating I owe {$8000.00} from a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

on XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to pay a debt I owed for an apartment in XXXX. The amount on my credit report was {$3700.00} but the original amount was {$2500.00}. In an attempt to pay the original amount which I can pay I was told they could not remove the interest amount on the account. {$1200.00} more dollars is highway robbery on a debt. I was unable to pay because I XXXX my XXXX in the first place and now I am able to do so and they are unwilling to help. They wanted to put a down payment and then pay the rest which would continue to incur interest meaning I may not be able to make those payments and end up in the same situation. Something needs to be done about this. They've purchased the debt for little of nothing and want to charge you more for having it. I never received any correspondence from this company regarding the charges or interest. I only found out when I checked my credit report. Something needs to be done to stop this. I am willing to pay the {$2500.00} to have this taken care of. It's like paying the same debt twice at this point which is crazy to hard working consumers. I have recorded the conversation as well and will upload so you can hear how she talked to me. I didn't appreciate how I was talked to you as well when I was only trying to pay off the collection that is it.

This is a follow up complaint/dispute for XXXX. Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information Reported by IQ Data International Inc Hello, I am writing to dispute the information reported by IQ Data International Inc on my credit report. It has come to my attention that the account information provided by your agency does not match my financial history. Specifically, all three credit bureaus are reporting conflicting details about the type of account in question. While one credit bureau asserts that this account is a joint one, XXXX has indicated that it is an individual account. I want to clarify that I have never engaged in any business transactions with IQ Data International Inc, nor do I owe any such debt as suggested in the report. Cease and desist all inaccurate information and I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and remove any inaccurate information from my credit report. It is imperative that my credit history accurately reflects my financial standing, and I believe this discrepancy is a result of an error in reporting. Please provide me with the necessary steps to rectify this situation and ensure the removal of this erroneous entry from my credit report as soon as possible. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/2020 I identified a discrepancy with account listed under IQ Data International. I requested a validation on XX/XX/2020 as there were several discrepancies that were identified with this account that I do not believe I owe. My main issue is that I was a participant with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at this time and due to mold issues in the apartment that were not corrected within the amount of time that was agreed upon between landlord and XXXX I was required to move. This is something that the landlord was aware of and due to their failure in acting and upon agreements between housing and them they forfeit any rent owed. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/2020 and the account was listed as disputed by consumer however no validation of debt was ever received. Therefore on XX/XX/2020 I sent a 2nd validation letter requesting complete validation for this debt again. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/2020 and the account is still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the debt is correct or valid and this account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that this debt belongs to me and all information being reported is correct.

In 2019 due to a natural disaster of XXXX XXXX we were in state of XXXX in XXXX XXXX I lost my jobs. There were no jobs in the area due to the destruction. I managed to pay my rent without having nothing to eat. I spoke to the XXXX and with her approval I left only XXXX month before the termination of my lease. It seems this company called IQ Data International purchase a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX and put lots of money on top and sent it to Collections. It is my only Collection. I am very responsible and always pay my bills. I explained to them that this was in a state of emergency and a natural disaster and this has been in my credit for more than 4 years now. They refused to delete it and are asking me for XXXX that I don't owe. My lease was paid and they kept my deposit. That is equivalent to only XXXX month. This is unfair and when I called them they treated me very rude and disrespectful, in an abusive way asking me in a loud and angry words, talking over me that I have to pay what I don't owe including all the money they put on top of it as so called " Interest '' I want this item to be deleted from my credit reports. It is not correct. It is not accurate and the only purpose of IQ Data International is to make money with people that lost their jobs due to a natural disaster.

Received a letter in the mail from IQ Data International saying that I owed an amount of {$2100.00}. Upon reviewing the letter is called and spoke to an agent saying that I do not owe anything because I moved out a year before. The agent told me that well since you moved out there shouldnt be a reason that youre getting charged. So I asked him what should I do and he suggested a send in an email to the dispute center so XX/XX/XXXX I sent in an email disputing the debt saying that I moved out in XXXX of XXXX and did not renew the lease with my family in XX/XX/XXXX, and also sent them proof of the lease. So 2 weeks passed by and seen that I havent recant update so I called them again in XXXX and spoke to an agent wondering when I was going to get a response and he said it takes up to 4 to 6 weeks and so I decided to explain my situation again and this agent was so rude did not want to listen to what I had to say, and saying that information was correct and said that I did sign the lease when I didnt and just kept going back and forth with me. So now its been a month and half still no update via email or letter. I never had a contract with the debt collector for any debt, they couldnt even provide me with the correct information, the reps are rude and are not willing to resolve the issue.

I moved out of XXXX XXXX apartments XX/XX/XXXX. They have not contacted me in any way about owing them money. Last week I received a letter from IQ Data International claiming I owe XXXX XXXX Apartments {$890.00}. I called asking about this because I haven't been contacted by XXXX XXXX at all. The lady that answered argued with me that I did receive a letter from them so I told her to prove it since she knows that I received it. She yelled at me about arguing so I said not to contact me again. She made some threat that I didn't hear all of and I hung up. Today, XX/XX/23, they called my wife, who isn't listed on the alleged debt 4 times. They also called my sister a few times as well. My sister has absolutely nothing to do with XXXX XXXX or the lease or the debt. There is no reason for them to be harassing my sister or my wife. They called me 4 times today as well. I have no idea how they got my family 's phone numbers but this is highly inappropriate and this whole thing reeks of a scam. They didn't even send the debt letter to the right address, they sent it to my apartment at XXXX XXXX. I received the letter only because XXXX setup address forwarding with the post office. I have no evidence that I owe XXXX XXXX anything so this company needs to leave me and everyone I know alone.

I was contacted by a debt collector on XX/XX/2022 by phone, and they were demanding I pay a debt for a bill from a previous apartment I lived at of {$410.00}. I told them I payed the debt and I had the receipts. I asked for a email to send the receipts to. They declined and continued to demand I pay the debt. I got in contact with the manager at the previous apartment I lived at and they submitted all the required information to the collector to say my debt was paid on XX/XX/2022. The apartment manager sent a email to them a second time after I received the call from collections in XXXX. My bank notified me that my debt was reported as delinquent or on non payment status on XX/XX/2022. I paid and I do not understand why it is hitting my credit now when the previous apartment said not to worry they would take care of it because I already paid the bill. This is adding insult to injury because I didn't think what the apartment charged me for was fair in the first place. I payed it off because I didn't want to deal with it. Please advise I don't know what to do. I have filed the complaint here and disputed the credit report through transunion. I have not reached out to the collection company since they called me demanding I pay and didn't seem interested in seeing the receipts I had.

I had difficulty paying rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I attempted to work with my landlord but they sent my account to a debt collector without any notification. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received calls and letters from IQ Data International, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WA XXXX informing me of my debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded, disputing the amount of the data, and requesting documentation verifying 1 ) that IQ Data International is licensed to collect debts in Connecticut, 2 ) that IQ Data International is authorized to collect this debt, and 3 ) that I am responsible for the debt. IQ Data International responded with a listing of my debt, which in addition to my rent included substantial additional charges. They provided no additional information. On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded, again disputing the amount of the debt and requesting documentation of license to collect debts in Connecticut and their authorization to collect this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from IQ Data International threatening that without payment they would report my debt to credit bureaus. They did not provide any of the information I requested. On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded again, asking for the verification information. In response, they provided no further communication and reported my debt to XXXX.

I moved out of a previous apartment complex on XXXX and verified with the leasing agency I did not owe any security or damage fees. Since XXXX the leasing agency has not attempted to contact me via email, phone, or mail about any outstanding debts. After receiving a call from IQ data on XXXX and being informed of an outstanding debt to this leasing agency of {$450.00} I stated I was uninformed of this and asked if I could return their call after verifying with the leasing agency. I was informed if I disconnected the phone call it would be marked as a failure to pay on my credit. I offered to provide a debit card number but requested the amount not be charged until XX/XX/ to allow reasonable time to contact the leasing agency to verify the debt. Immediately after providing my card number I was charged for the debt and told any disputes to said charge would take upwards of 5-7 days. I was given no reasonable opportunity or timeframe to verify this debt due to what appeared as a threat towards my credit score if I failed to provide payment before terminating the phone call. Afterwords I contacted the leasing agency about the matter and was told there is a possibility of a mistake and would need to wait for them to contact their accounting office to confirm or deny the debt

The debt is on my credit report and I have disputed this debt several time. I never lived at the apartment complex. I sent in information where I lived during that time; such as driver 's license and water bill. The credit bureau told me that was not the proof I needed. They said that I need some type of documentation from management. The people that owned the complex does not own it anymore. So, I called the debt collection agency and I explained to them that I did not owe that debt because I never lived there. I told the lady that was on the phone that it was identity theft and i am not going to pay that bill. She was very rude and did not want to hear anything that I had to say. So, I called a second time and I was transferred back to the lady and I asked her for documents to see what she has that I owe the debt. She said that she could not give that to me. She told me to call the police and refuse to talk with me any further. So, I wrote a letter with the consumer protection information on it telling her I would like a copy of the documentation, least agreement and any other information so I can see if I owe this debt. I also asked for their company information. The letter was sent certified on XX/XX/XXXX. They received it on XXXX XXXX. I have a copy of the letter.

The agents at IQ Data reached out to me at my place of work on Wednesday, XX/XX/2020 for a contested debt amount of XXXX, and when I told them I can not take calls from work and I need to speak to them after I get off of work, the agent repeatedly badgered me about why I wasn't able to just transfer funds. When I explained that I was the only one at work and I can not have my phone out at work, the agent stated he found it hard to believe I was the only one at my place of employment and that he doesn't understand why I won't just take care of the debt right then and there. He repeatedly raised his voice and talked over me, even though I asked multiple times to talk later since I was at work. I told him it was inappropriate to take up phone time at my job, especially when I am not to be conducting personal business at work, and that I had patients in the lobby to attend to, as I work at a chiropractor 's office. I am the only front desk and the doctor is the only other employee at this location. I eventually had to hang up as the agent refused to listen to my requests to not be called at work and continued to raise his voice and argue with me. He also asked why I had to wait until I got home to transfer the money since they close so close to the time I would get home.

I've been beyond harassed by this company. The company thinks they can interrogate, make snide remarks, and even threaten us with legal action. I'm disputing a charge from transferring from one apartment to another and when I communicated this, the women I spoke to treated me like an XXXX and declined to send over confirmation for the legitimacy of the debt She kept asking me about payment when I told her from the start that I am disputing the charge. I can not take any more harassment from the company representatives continuously calling me before 8am on my work phone without any regard. IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL customer service seems to forget what is going on in the world to belittle people who try to go by life day by day and make it through the hardships of a pandemic, they continue to add fraudulent interest charges on a collection amount that isn't valid, to begin with. This company is hounding me and making me feel guilty and scared that if I don't pay them they will cause havoc in my life for a debt that's not Valid. There are over 250+ lawsuits against this company and I've contacted them multiple time regarding an old lease. Each representative I spoke with gave me a completely different amount due and they do not follow fair collection practices

XX/XX/2023 ( with XX/XX/XXXX XXXX stamped date ) the I.Q.

XX/XX/2023, I have responded to I.Q. Data International , Inc. to dispute the amount owed. I have noticed them that the apartment agreed to early termination because I have surrendered the apartment to avoid non-paying rent and eviction a few month before the lease end and I have lived there over a year. The property management company said they would refund my deposit but they never did. The Residences at XXXX XXXX has been sued many times due to their poor management. The principal due they were trying to correct was higher than numbers of month x rental cost and the owed deposit was not included in the balance. It took them XXXX years later to notify about this debt and increasing the interest amount every XXXX days. They have never provided any detail document or original agreement but a few lines : principal due, interest dues and total amount due. With a few more attempts asking for original proof/document, I have not heard back from them since XX/XX/2023.

IQ data international , inc filed a collection that I am not responsible for. Additionally, I do not know what apartment the collection is for as I rented two and the dispute is attached to neither apartments. I did not receive any communication other than the collection was a cleaning fee after it hit my credit. No one gave me time or the opportunity to settle this prior to collections. They say it was for a XXXX bedroom carpet cleaning fee and then changed the dispute for the laundry room. The XXXX bedroom did not have a laundry room. The XXXX bedroom was left in excellent condition. The XXXX bedroom carpet was due for a replacement to hard flooring as I had lived there over 6 years. I was given the opportunity to take the new flooring or to wait to have it installed after I moved out. Management said they change the flooring every 5 years. Since the carpet was to be replaced in the XXXX bedroom to hard flooring it makes no sense to charge a carpet cleaning fee. The laundry room damage was from the upstairs apartment washer which flooded twice. I do not know what apartment this debt is for and no one will tell me. I can not attach any files because I have not received anything that informs me exactly what the debt is for or what apartment it is for.

We had a lease at an apartment complex but my husband lost his job and was forced to take a job in another state. We could not afford the lease. We never missed a monthly payment with the Apartment complex and notified them when we paid the rent for the month that we were forced to move and that we had to break our lease. We under stood there would be a penalty at the beginning of the following month for doing this. We were in contact with the leasing agency, we cleaned the apartment and allowed them to rent it out immediately after we left so the apartment never sat empty and was paid for every month we were there. We expected to lose our deposit and were prepared to pay a fine. However, years later we noticed that there is a collection for over XXXX dollars on my credit report. We have tried contacting the company to find out what it was for. Have never gotten a true breakdown but this is not owed to this extent. We would like help getting it removed considering the complex actually made more money by leasing out the apartment with no " sitting vacant down time '' because we communicated and paid them every month and they kept our deposit. please help us. We have tried to get it removed and even tried negotiating with the company nut had no success.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent XXXX a followup letter regarding an alleged debt collection on my credit report by the company " I Q Data International INC account # XXXX '' which I have also reached out too. The company has FAILED to verify the debt with ( original signature ). The company sent me a letter that ONLY addresses the alleged debt but NOT the original leasing agreement with my alleged signature. This debt does NOT belong to me. It has now been over 30 days since the original dispute on XX/XX/XXXX that has not been addressed neither by the credit bureau XXXX, XXXX nor the creditor, I Q Data International. They are ALL in violation of my rights under the " Fair Credit Act '', for not producing verification documents of this alleged debt on my credit report that is affecting my credit scores and ability to obtain credit. I demand that they immediately remove this debt upon receipt of this notice. Further more, I will submit a complaint here with ALL companies involved including XXXX, XXXX and the creditor, I Q Data International, for their failure to provide proof of debt with original documentation for the alleged collection account on my credit report. Please see to it, that this time is removed immediately off my credit reports, XXXX and XXXX.

In XXXX of XXXX, I moved out of a rental. In XXXX of XXXX the past due rent amount was submitted to a collection agency called IQ Data. I reached out the IQ Data 's office and was instantly met with a contentious and extremely aggressive agent by the name of XXXX who claimed she was the manager and there was no one above her who could assist me. From the very start she was unwilling to listen to any of my concerns as the amount being requested was incorrect. I dealt with the rude comments and unprofessional behavior that she exhibited as I was fixing my credit to purchase a home. Nonetheless, I tried to work with her as well as hiring a attorney from a debt resolution company and they were met with the same difficulty. The collection account was already reporting on my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, IQ Data decided to add the exact same collection account to all three bureaus as a new collection account. I filled a dispute with bureaus and the debt was validated as correct. This is NOT correct information. I am in a position that there is nothing that I can do. She has completely destroyed everything that I have worked hard to fix with one key stroke of the key board and now I am unable to purchase a home because of her tactics and illegal reporting.

I wrote a letter disputing the charges, the representative instantly said they never received a letter from me and there was noting i could do, if i didnt pay the full amount of {$2000.00} today he would report to my credit. I tried explaining that the reason for me moving was due to XXXX, being laid off and not having a socuce of income. The representative XXXX said that wasn't his problem and its no excuse nnot to pay. I never refused to pay i just wanted to dispute the additional changes. The representative began to raise his voice saying i shouldn't have moved if i couldn't afford it, he then went on to say hes been in the field 15 years and they are not going to reduce the fees. I asked to speak with a supervisor he placed me on hold XXXX hung up also laughing while doing so. I called back right away only to speak to a supervisor who didnt care and as far as his employee he said he would look into it. Ive recievd multiple calls before im even up XXXX. With everything going on no one deserves to be treated this way.

I have tried to dispute with IQ Data regarding my ownership of the XXXX account ( now showing I owe {$1100.00} ) several times. I was not made aware of this account by the landlord and did not receive anything in the mail letting me know anything would be escalating to collections in 3 years before this showed up on my credit. I never received an itemized statement of my charges- or photos showing proof of any damages along with the itemized statement that never came. When I reported to XXXX for the second time to get this removed from my report, the charges were dropped off- but then appeared again and with a different amount. Every so often a XXXX or so gets added to my charges for XXXX ( and IQ data is overseeing my collection for another property which is interesting ) so they can keep adding to my report. They are also not doing their due diligence to follow up with the other person who is supposed to be on the joint account and only contacting me during my work hours. They have removed this account from the other person who had JOINT responsibility, but not from my credit. This needs to be removed. There is no proof of charges, there was no contact made so I could dispute before this hit my credit, and now they are not reporting accurately.

I received a phone call on XX/XX/17 at XXXX XXXX EST from XXXX. The person identified themselves as XXXX and they were calling from IQ Data International. XXXX did not read me my Miranda Rights nor inform me the call was being records so I was oblivious to the nature of the call. When I began questioning what the call was in regards to, XXXX was short with me, cut me off, spoke over me and had a hard time answering simple questions. Again, had my Miranda Rights been read, I would've believed the validity of the call and understood it was a collection 's call. When I began explaining I needed to first verify his claims, XXXX was aggressive and engaged in predatory collection 's tactics. In an attempt to convince me he was legitimate, he read aloud the last 4 numbers of my SSN - anyone sitting near him could've heard this information. When I later called back the company, the agent who answered refused to transfer me to a XXXX and would only connect me with XXXX, despite my explicit request to speak to anyone besides XXXX. This company has representatives actively engaging in predatory collection tactics, but who are also unable to remember something as simple as reading Miranda Rights and informing a VA caller that they are on a recorded line.

After reviewing my credit profile I noticed a collection from IQ Data Int. They are collecting a debt for XXXX XXXX. per Account # XXXX I disputed this with XXXX and XXXX and I have not received a response from these two major bureaus. I sent a certified letter to IQ Data International per US Mail XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and it was returned as undeliverable. On XX/XX/2020, I contacted the company and spoke with XXXX. I explained to XXXX that they are reporting a debt I do not owe. I told her I don't no own a home or have never rented an apartment with XXXX XXXX. I asked her if she could provide me documentation of the debt which she refused. She told me to speak with XXXX the compliance manager. Over the next several days I can not get anyone to give me the information I requested. And I'm not sure if this XXXX guy exists. My research online shows thousands of complaints with this company over the same issues I'm having. I do not owe them over XXXX and this is affecting my credit scores. I never lived in the state of Georgia and I do not own a home. This is false and deceptive reporting. Please provide me with all the documentation you have with my signature proving I owe this debt. If no proof can be provide, delete this from my account.

Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been working on getting my credit in great standing to buy a house. In this time I have been strictly repairing my credit. With verification letters being sent out first. I have yet to receive any information or updated status on this account. Status dates have not change since 2019 on this account which means the account was not investigated but said to have been verified and continues to report on XXXX and XXXX. I.Q. Data International Inc. hasnt responded to the dispute and failed to launch an investigation into this account within 30 days which is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611. XXXX and XXXX are reporting different information, one shows the account has been sold to IQ Data and another shows its has not been sold. In one of the attached photos you will see That Monarch is reporting as the collection and original creditor with no consumer dispute added, which means no investigation has been done and multiple violations of the FCRA. I am requesting that this inaccurate information be deleted from my credit file immediately. I.Q. Data International Inc. has violated federal laws and continue to report negative information on my file without launching an investigation that is required by law.

I used to live at XXXX XXXX apartments. I had to leave because they refused to fix the poor water issues, the ants, mice problems, and AC/heater issues. I had always paid my rent on time. I had XXXX children living with me at the time and I had to leave every morning for about 7 weeks to get them showered and ready at a different home. I had complained several times and no one did anything. I ended up leaving on XX/XX/XXXX of 2018 and i went elsewhere, because i needed my home to be a safe place for my children. I knew about the breaking of the lease, and the cost of {$1800.00} dollars. I left and the credit collectors kept calling and calling. I did try and work out something with them and they wouldnt hear anything i had to say. I tried payments and even tried to settle, but they said they do not settle and i owe them. I do not feel like i need to pay for this especially when they didnt keep to their end of the lease. Now the cost is over {$2600.00} dollar and i refuse to pay them. Plus i am taking a hit on my credit and that makes me even more furious because now i am having a hard time renting. I feel like i was wronged and i do have others that were in the same boat, but they also left. The rodent issues were all over the place.

After a phone conversation, with IQ DATA International on or about XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed them a letter stating I disputed the debt and asked for debt validation. As a consumer, I have the right to request proof of validation of the debt and IQ Data should have provided me with the original debt or proof of debt and debtor 's name and address. They DID NOT! In my letter, I kindly informed IQ Data that pursuant to FDCPA that I was disputing the debt, and debt collection should stop until the original debt could be validated. Further, I requested that they do not attempt to contact me by phone but in writing again they violated my consumer rights because XXXX XXXX XXXX from their office called on XX/XX/XXXX and left a message on my cell phone. I demand that IQ Data International immediately stop collection actions and withdraw its negative reporting statement. I also demand that they only correspond to me in writing. IQ Data threatened to report this debt to the credit bureaus on the first call I had with XXXX XXXX and before validating the debt. IQ Data reported negative data on me to all 3 credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX, and after I disputed the debt. They did not give me proper due process. I am requesting an immediate resolution.

Also, please see attached on IQ Data response to the dispute we sent out. They have included only a summary of charges. This is NOT sufficient proof. I have included a copy of an email to XXXX 30 days prior to moving out requesting a call back, and confirming I would not be renewing my lease. The reason I am adamant on disputing this is because of the following. 1 ) I did due diligence trying to turn in a formal notice to the office. I went by the apartment office three separate times during normal business hours and they were closed. 2 ) I left several voicemail messages asking for a call back. I never heard from anyone. 3 ) I sent an email 30 days prior to my lease expiring stating that I would not be renewing and that I needed a call back to know what my proration would be for XXXX. Again, no response. 4 ) I professionally cleaned the apartment and dropped the keys off in the drop box prior to my lease expiring. 5 ) I spoke with the maintenance manager and he told me that XXXX XXXX were undergoing major changes and complete staff turnover was happening. This must be accurate as they no longer are called XXXX. New signage indicates its now called XXXX XXXX. This proof sent by IQ data is nothing but an invoice.

IQ Data International has called my husband multiple times including at his place of work during business hours to discuss collecting a debt that we have already explained is not valid and is being disputed. The collector ( s ) on the phone where disrespectful, aggressive, and threatened to continue to call back. The collector ( s ) have not respected our request to not call back and not call us at work. The so called " debt '' in question is being disputed as the amount is not accurate, and the business ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was reported to the XXXX ( XXXX CASE # : XXXX ) due to their unethical and irresponsible practices. We have tried to resolve directly with the business since day one but the business has been unresponsive and wont hear our dispute which we have provided evidence for in writing. The " debt '' was sold within 2 weeks to a collection agency and none of our emails or communications where responded to. The collection agency has not validated the " debt '' or the amount. We have not received anything in writing from anybody at this point. Both my husband and I have exceptional credit scores and an excellent credit history, and always pay what we owe on time. This debt is not valid and needs to be resolved.

I recently lived in an apartment complex where Id signed a 6 month lease. I paid all 6 months up front. At the end of my lease I turned in the keys and moved out and all was well. A month after moving out I received a letter from IQ Data international saying I owed the apartment complex money. The letter from IQ said to write them in 30 days to dispute the debt and request validation. I did just that and sent them mail overnight to ensure it got there before the 30 day mark. A month went by and I never heard from them. All of a sudden I get a notice that a collection had been added to my credit report. It was from IQ data international. I wrote them again and called them asking for validation of the debt. Over the phone they told me they dont send anything in the mail, despite the fact that I got their contact info from something they sent me in the mail. I asked both over the phone and once again in writing for a validation of the debt and they have still not provided that information to me. I have disputed it with the credit bureaus and they seem to have no trouble communicating with them, but they have made no effort to try to validate this debt with me or allow me to dispute it or verify it. This is against the law.

I have reached out to XXXX via mail dispute in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in regards to an account that was incorrectly reporting on my credit report. On XX/XX/2021 XXXX Sent me a letter in regards to the dispute and gave me false information that the account in question was not reporting on my credit, but in fact is reporting on my credit, and is not allowing me to get an apartment because of this. The company IQ Data International. This debt has gotten removed from XXXX and XXXX but XXXX have been giving issues with this for the last year. This company has reached out to me multiple times via mail and phone after I asked for a proof of debt, and every time the company would say I simply owe the debt with no proof. I kept trying to tell the company that this debt was paid when I moved out of this apartment over 5 years ago. Also the company has been adding on interest to the debt that I never agreed to in the original contract. This debt is not a credit card, this company has no right to claim interest on a debt involving tenant bonds. Every-time I ask for a print out of the interest the company states its apart of the policy. They are misrepresented the debt on my credit report which is direct violation of the FDCPA.

I tried to set up a payment arrangement for a XXXX debt. IQ data states that they don't own the debt and XXXX is their client. I called XXXX and they told me that they do not manage the property anymore and any debt more than XXXX years old is typically a write-off. I have tried to make arrangements with IQ Data and even set up an arrangement. I called them a week before extraction and stated that I will not be able to make the full payment because of circumstances and to cancel the autopayment because it will decline. I spoke to a Manager with that request and she literally called me a liar and told me to borrow money that I am not responsible and that I do have the money. My conversation with her made me extremely emotional and upset, she was verbally abusive, and it's unacceptable. A gentleman called me today to advise that the payment did not go threw and I told him under new circumstances I only have {$1000.00} to pay on this debt and nothing else. He also called me a liar and was verbally abusive. Not sure why we allow people to talk to others this way. I work in collections and would never ever verbally abuse someone if they owe money. You have to maintain dignity and respect for others. Please help

In or around XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a bill for moving out of a apartment unit in XXXX XXXX, California for around XXXX from a debt company and among the charges was I think around {$800.00} or more for new carpet through out the unit. I had only lived in the unit for about 8 months, so I contacted the collection company by phone and email and disputed the charges and filed a complaint with the California Attorney Generals office against the collection company because they were pretty rude. I also contacted the lard lord and disputed the charges and sent them a letter stating that. As of this date I have not heard from the land lord corporate office regarding the disputed charges. It is my understanding that there is some amount of time period allowed when a debt is disputed with a collection company and the debt company must provide verification of disputed amount. I have not heard from this in any written form since I disputed the amount. I have attached a copy of the letter I wrote to the collection company and the land lord disputing the amount. The last thing I heard from the land lord was that they were sending my concerns to the corporate office. Which I attached a copy of the response form XX/XX/2020.

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to IQ data collections. I first spoke with a representative whose name was XXXX. I asked him what options I had to settle the debt and if the amount that XXXX gave me of {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX was still on the table. He was extremely disrespectful and told me that I need to just pay my full balance, something I should have done a year ago. Also, he threatened that he would make sure I didnt get another settlement and made it clear that he didnt care. I was extremely hurt, frustrated and embarrassed and asked to speak with his supervisor. He transferred me to another senior representative named XXXX who was even more disrespectful and was not a supervisor. When I asked him if he could listen to the call to address how rude the representative was he literally disregarded what I said and asked for my payment information. After insisting that I paid now, I asked again to speak to a supervisor in disbelief. Lastly, I was transferred to XXXX XXXX who says that he is a supervisor. He answered the phone immediately speaking over me stating that he understands why his representatives spoke to me disrespectfully and how its not their fault that Im in debt. He then disconnected the call.

On XX/XX/2021, IQ Data agreed to work out a payment plan and accepted {$110.00}. The next day the company then proceed to take an additional {$110.00}. Did not think of twice, I presumed it was an error but ultimately it was still taken out of my account. A week later I received orders to go to basic combat training for the XXXX XXXX. A couple of weeks later after the first payment made, I called the collection company and informed them that I wont be able to pay the full amount and asked if I could just make a payment plan because I wouldn't be able to communicate with my bank due to phone restrictions in basic training and then I was verbally assaulted, the man proceeded to making rude comments and yelling at me, and refused my request. However, on XXXX XXXX on 3 separate occasions, XXXX, XXXX and and XXXX on XX/XX/2021, they tried to charge my card {$4700.00} after telling them I was unable to do so due to my limitations and then telling them I do not authorize them charge the full amount on my card.

Hello, There's a collection company called IQ DATA that has been contacting me via telephone about a debt I have no knowledge of. The first phone call was around XX/XX/2021 in which I explained to the representative that I've never had an account with their so called client ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) which is the original creditor. They asked me if I ever lived at the address where the account was originated in which I told them " NO ''. I recently seen that IQ DATA is reporting that I owe this debt of {$140.00} to the credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent IQ DATA a letter asking them to send me a description of the services and charges or anything that proves this account belongs to me and they responded with a letter stating I need to send a police report claiming identity theft, a government ID & proof of residency. I do not want to send personal information to this company, I never filed identity theft because they never sent any validation of my social security number or birthday being used, there's hundreds of XXXX XXXX and they have the wrong one. I do not owe any monies to IQ DATA or XXXX XXXX XXXX. and I would like for IQ DATA to remove this inaccurate account from their records as well as my credit report.

I lived at an apartment complex and was transferred for my job. I notified palm apartment via email according to the contract if I proved it was for work there wouldnt an issue this was over three years ago. They said I broke the contract and said there were damages in the apartment which there were not. I advised the palm apartments that we would take this to litigation because their information was incorrect and they were just trying to get money. Never heard anything from them. Then in XXXX of XXXX a company called Iq Data international put a negative report on my credit for {$3800.00}. Palm Apartment was advised of the move via email and the charges were not legit. I have asked for sign contracts and my emails of the move and no response. The information that Iq Data International has place on my account in incorrect, they said it started in XX/XX/2023 when in fact it is over XXXX years old and no litigation was filed to prove I owed anything. The false information and incorrect information they placed is effecting me from purchasing a house and giving me a low credit score. This company has had many issues and complaints why does the government let a company like this continue to XXXX people and lie.

I contacted the collection agency XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021 in attempt to resolve my debt from my old apartment and was disrespected by the agent. I paid {$500.00} towards by balance which was suppose to be for {$1400.00}. I explained I was behind with everything due to a recent loss in my family and me not working for almost a whole year due to COVID. The operator/agent responded to me saying well I should have taken care of my responsibilities and said if I didnt pay there would be consequences if the balance was not paid by the end of the month. Im taking steps to cover my debt I owe while also being talked to like Im nothing .. Despite the set back I was having I called and paid what I could and advised I would follow up in about a month in attempt to put more money towards my balance. However, I was unable to pay the remaining balance of {$910.00} due to unforeseen circumstances. I then receive a debt collection on my report XX/XX/2021 stating I owed {$2400.00}. This is unacceptable for me to pay the company and they act like they never received the money and they added charges. They received emails confirming the right amount which I have documents of and proof of the last payment on XX/XX/XXXX.

We recently moved out of an apartment on XX/XX/2023, prior to that we had submitted all final payments and were notified by the apartments we were all set and nothing else was owed. I did not give the apartment our current address and had the mail forwarded elsewhere, so I am uncertain how my current address was obtained. On XX/XX/2023 I received a letter from I.Q. Data International , Inc. is trying to collect a debt I owe of {$550.00} to the apartment. I sent a letter back on XX/XX/2023 requesting information from the debt collector on what this debt is, the itemized receipt, how and why this was sent, and how come the other people residing in the apartment did not receive this letter as well. I have not heard back from them until XX/XX/2023 when they sent another letter with interest added of {$2.00} to the original debt. I arrived at the apartments today, XX/XX/2023, and was given a ledger of our account prior to moving out that reflects a balance of {$0.00} owed as of XX/XX/2023. I have not heard back from these so-called debt collectors and the {$550.00} is nowhere listed in the apartments system that I saw. I can attach all necessary documentation showing I do not owe this amount.

Our lease with the XXXX a XXXX XXXX property ended on XX/XX/XXXX. We paid our rent through the month in full. We received a move out statement indicating that we were responsible for XX/XX/XXXX rent, which was incorrect. It took several calls to get a corrected move out statement sent showing we owed no balance and we were issued a check for the return of our deposit. Two weeks later we started receiving non stop phone calls from a collection agency IQ Data. We let them know it was incorrect and asked to stop the calls. They refused and in addition to the harassing phone calls, started sending letters. I submitted a dispute in writing by mail and email, still continuing collection efforts. I have reached out to the XXXX and XXXX and been told we have a XXXX balance and this will be corrected, it hasnt been and on XX/XX/XXXX IQ Data turned the collection account to the credit reporting agencies. I have called IQ Data, XXXX XXXXnd XXXX as well as sent several communications in writing and even filed a dispute with all XXXX credit agencies and XXXX, the first to respond did nothing, made no updates or corrections. I have no idea where to turn, no one will help us correct their mistake.

Subleased an apartment according to how the leasing office instructed me. The apartment is now claiming that even after I left I owe them even though I did not live there. Tennant left in an improper way. Apartment tried to settle with tenant, tenant said they got a lawyer and that they were not responsible. Apartment said they tried to contact me but I did not know about it until 6 months later after it was already in collections. I do not owe this debt. I have asked for paperwork. I have asked for the entire leasing document and have not received it. Lease is missing the " room mate release and room mate addition form which both parties signed to enable the sublet. Lease packet is missing the mold remediation and lead paint document. I have asked repeatedly for the complete documents and they said " this is all they have. '' I do not have the complete packet and they will not share it. I was also charged for " painting an improper color '' which I did not. The color they are talking about was offered to me as a " thank you '' for signing another lease prior to me leaving when I bought a house 8 months later. I had an option of blinds or painting an accent wall. I chose the paint.

Received a phone call on XX/XX/2021 called refused to use identify themselves until I stated my name. Once I validated my name they continued and claimed to be from a bill collecting agency and was calling in regards to an old balance from a past rental company for {$2200.00} and that if anyone else was in the room the call would be ended for security purposes. I informed them my funds come from my work and I would have to wait for each paycheck through the month of XXXX to pay the whole bill. That was unacceptable so I agreed to pay XXXX on XX/XX/2021. After that amount was transferred we agreed on XX/XX/2021 for the remaining amount to be processed. Due to lack of funds it bounced and I received a phone call on XX/XX/2021 and while I was trying to calmly and politely explain the situation and give a definite date for the payment I was yelled at and my credit threatened then at their mercy I was transferred to another person and told to get a payday loan. XXXX when I had called them upon their answer laughing was heard and thereby breaching the security and legitimacy of the company claims. *I have never received a letter claiming the outstanding bill or services are legitimate.

Attempting to collect a debt that is in dispute with original debtor. No correspondence from original apartment complex concerning my issues of collecting double rent and notice to vacate while on a month to month that was expiring yet sent it to collection agency 1 year later after not responding to my concerns ( see attachments ). Was not provided an itemized statement after vacating the apartment within 14 days of charges only received a phone call from apartment collections department in which I asked for an itemized statement and was not provided one. We ( there is a cosigner and myself ) received notice from the collection agency on XXXX XXXX stating the debt. A certified return receipt letter was submitted on our behalf on XX/XX/2021 ( see receipts ) We have not received signed return receipts to date but have tracked letter and it was picked up from the post office XXXX XXXX ( see attachment ). It has been 30 days with no communication from the collection agency. They failed to respond within 30 days of the actual investigation, outcome and validity of debt. They have also reported to all major credit bureaus erroneous debt which has affected my ( our ) credit ratings.

I.Q. Data International has been attempting to collect a debt in the State of New York, which they are not licensed in that state. When I asked for their registration, they refused to supply it despite them stating they are licensed/registered. Upon checking with The State of New York, it does not show anything for them. Furthermore, I have paid them thousands of dollars and they continue to add and accrue interest to the debt despite the fact they will not provide the agreement from the original company, which would allow them to do this. It is come to my understanding, in accordance with State and Federal laws they can not add interest to a debt unless it was stated in the original agreement. Furthermore, they can not attempt to collect a debt in the State of New York unless they are licensed/registered. The account representative, XXXX XXXX, advised me they do not have to provide any documentation or validation pertaining to the debt they are collecting. It is my understanding, it is my right as a consumer to request and obtain proper documentation from the debt collector to not only ensure the debt is mine but more, so they are attempting to collect the proper amount.

Everytime I called about payment of a debt that was outsourced to them they were rude, they practice illegal/abusive acts and tactics to attempt to collect debts, so we paid the creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) directly. After paying the creditor we were told by reps from this company that they would not remove. The creditor already assured us that this agency is a 3rd party and they are contracted by the creditor. The creditor informed us that it would be removed. I spoke to 3 reps all who refused to transfer me to a supervisor and were speaking to me in condescending manners/tones also all stating that it would not be removed. I informed each rep that I would contact the CFPB and each time I was responded to with a laugh. Also, I spoke to the creditor who informed me that she spoke to this company directly AGAIN and told them to remove it from our reports.I reported this to you guys and they closed it stating that the client said debt was owed which is a lie. Ive enclosed my proof of payment. This company needs to be looked into. The XXXX and XXXX I have received from them is unheard of. Literally stressed me out and caused me anxiety. Rude and unprofessional to say the least.

I contacted the collection agency to obtain a settlement offer. The representative told me that I need to provide my income in order to determine if I qualified for a hardship settlement. I provided the representative with my income, and he asked me what my car payments behind, and I communicated to him that it was not. He told me that it was no way possible for me to bring in the income that I communicated, and that they would not be able to work with me. I explain to him that I had money in my savings account to help me with my bills. I also communicated to him that I do contract work, which means that my income varies based on the amount of clients that I see. He told me that they could only offer me 10 % as a settlement and that if I called back they would not offer me a settlement offer and this will report negatively on my credit. He told me that they could only offer me 10 % as a settlement and that if I called back they would not offer me a settlement offer and this will report negatively on my credit. I filed a complaint with their compliance department on the website, and no one has followed up related to the improper treatment from the representative.

The apartments management changed and ownership changed several times. They would send out letters stating this. This caused a lot of missed communication. We then spoke with a lady name XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who worked in the business office. We did a mutual Agreement. Because of the inconsistency with fixing things and not being able to tell us what the xtra fees on our rent bill was. No eviction was filed. We also have a letter stating the balance we owe. It says XXXX. We reached out to the apartments for several months, they told us its in collection We then reach out to the collection agency. The balance on my credit profile was XXXX I called and spoke and asked for a payment plan. They said no. Pay in full. Then about 2 days later the amount went up to XXXX they added XXXX. We called again asked why did the amount get raised? After the phone call. They raised the balance to XXXX dollars.. My lawyer has reached out numberous times. No response.. This is ruining my life. Ive had to stay with family, not able to get a place of my own. I have two small children. I want to pay this off. But only the official amount.

I have only recently discovered that a debt collection agency has submitted a report against me. I have NEVER received anything in the mail from IQ DATA INT'L INC XXXX Approximately 6 months after I moved out of my apartment, I received a letter from a different agency. I called this agency and not only did this agency determine that I did not owe XXXX XXXX any money, but they owed me approximately {$200.00} left over from my deposit. The gentlemen I spoke with assured me that this would be corrected and the collection would be canceled. Approximately 6 months later, a different collection agency which I presume was IQ Data ( I do not recall the name ) called me and once again stated that I owed XXXX XXXX money. I explained that I had already addressed this issue with a different company and would not be making any payment to them. They continued to call and harass me, and I continued to tell them that I would not be making any payments to them. I also asked them to send me the bill if I supposedly owed them money which they never did. To this day, I have still not received any documentation from IQ Data. Please assist in anyway that you can. Thank you.

Unknown number called me, only kept asking if this was " XXXX ''. I asked who was calling 3-5 times before the agent reluctantly disclosed who he worked for and that he was a client of a third party. He refused to provide details on why I was being called, what his position in the company was, and repeatedly threatened me with an array of actions he would use against me. The agent continuously interrupted me never answering my questions, but insisting I legally have to answer his questions. He accused me of : fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, and that I and my character are of very poor quality ( to put it nicely ). My XXXX driver heard everything and even told me that he was harassing me with that call, someone with no interest in my affairs was worried about the conduct of the agent raises a number of red flags. The agent works for I.Q. Data International. Finally, he repeatedly tried to coerce me by threat of harm to pay him today or else I would face the threatened consequences. His demeanor was angry throughout the whole call. It is recorded. I am fearful for my well-being and financial status at the whims of a rogue collection agent.

I attempted to initiate contact with this company IQ Data International on XX/XX/2021. I had just settled another debt and finished making payments, so I called this company to set up a payment arrangement. They stated they do not do that, and my only option was to pay within 5 days, or they will cause harm to my credit. I then offered to make 50 % of the debt arrangement on a date in XXXX that worked with my payment schedule, as well as my other bills, and finish paying the other 50 % in XXXX on the exact same day. Instead the company stated that I MUST call family to borrow the money, which is not an option, or that I MUST take out a loan with very high interest to pay off this debt ( which I can not afford any additional interest as I am on a fixed income ), or finally, they told me that I need to skip buying groceries to feed my family in order to pay the debt. Mind you, this debt has existed on my credit report for a year, I was calling to come to a resolution and get it settled within the next few months. It was all or nothing and ultimatums given to stop feeding my family, or stop paying for a roof over our heads to accommodate their demands.

A third party debt collector, IQ Data, was contracted by my old apartment complex, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to collect a valid debt. I already paid the debt, directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and informed the caller of this. She demanded proof, and I said I'd be happy to forward a copy of the front and back of the check which was deposited by XXXX XXXX XXXX. She insisted that proof would not be sufficient. She demanded my complete bank account statement. I told her no, she couldn't have my bank statement, but could have a copy of the front and back of the statement. She then proceeded to insult me, call me " irresponsible '' and a " deadbeat '' ( bear in mind this is *after* I told her I'd paid the debt ). I ignored the insults, and asked her what proof would be sufficient. She again repeated that only a complete bank account would suffice. I told her, again, that I don't send my bank account to strangers, so surely there must be some other way of proving that the debt is paid, in addition to the aforementioned canceled check. She went ballistic, started screaming, continued insulting me, and I disconnected the call. This happened XX/XX/2020, at XXXX.

This company continues to report inaccurate information concerning a property I once occupied. I have attempted to resolve this misinformation with the company and its agents, however I have been met with total disregard, dismissive and threatening language suggesting they will continue the assault on my credit until I pay the outrageous unjustified amount of money that I do not owe. I have contacted the property manager who was also the manager when I lived there, I was told I dont have a remaining balance due, I also reached out to the Property Management Company who reported there are no current nor past debts with my name, unit number or Social Security number. I have and continue to suffer from homeless insecurities because of this inaccurate reporting. I need help fighting this company that seems to enjoy being malicious and playing god with the lives of others. I believe there are others and if they have suffered the emotional pain and constant fear of object homelessness I suffer from this company, something needs to change. Their perceived power needs to be met with enforcement of our government protection agencies. Im helpless against them.

At the beginning of XX/XX/2020 I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX who claimed I owed money to my old apartment complex ( XXXX XXXX XXXX Apartments ). In fact, I had not been contacted by my complex despite them having my cell phone and email address. I called the complex and they verified that they had filed with the debt collection agency, and that the security deposit I gave them on move in was not applied to the amount. The security deposit ( I had the option of {$400.00} refundable or {$200.00} non-refundable ) was actually " just a fee '' even though this was not what I was told when I paid it. I was told it was a security deposit and would be applied to any damages on move out. The apartment complex claimed that I was responsible for paying for carpet cleaning and general maintenance services however they did not have receipts of such services rendered and did not have this information written into my lease. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX intentionally sent a {$220.00} charge to collections ( without using the {$200.00} nonrefundable deposit I gave them ) in order to intimidate me into paying an extra fee, I did not owe, or face a credit score reduction.

My dispute is with IQ data international ( collections company ). legit and original account starting with a debt of {$4900.00} from an apartment rent debt. this account was included in a program to consolidate debt with a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX, and payments started going to this account regularly. During a period of 6 years, a total amount to this date, XX/XX/XXXX has been of exactly {$5300.00} made on monthly payments, so I am considering this account paid in full. We were trying to get in contact with this company for the last 3 months and no response has been made from them on what the balance of the account is, or if it has been paid already. we understand that some interests or surcharges are added to accounts like this, but at least we would like to know what our status is. please keep in mind that we have received in the past, proposals to pay in full the balance at 40 % or 50 % minus, if balance is paid in full. we never took advantage of this offers due to lack of founds. as of today XX/XX/XXXX I have put a stop on the payments thru XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, until this situation clears. we appreciate the help you can provide.

Today, XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2023 at approximately XXXX EST I called IQ Data International , INC for an debt they are attempting to collect.

This rep was rude and asked me to resolve my debt by asking family and friends and when this was not an option she asked why I could not I ask family and friends to help and asked " was it because they did not have jobs '' and she was unwilling to help resolve the issue and provide adequate proof of this debt. As of today I was told that interest is accurring daily but the letter states its " XXXX percent per annum '' grand total as of today is XXXX. Document dated XXXX dated XXXX XXXX

I worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX and also lived on property. I moved into the apartment in XX/XX/XXXX. I moved out of the apartment in XX/XX/XXXX. The carpet was damaged when I moved into the apartment and the manager wanted to replace it. I told her not to replace the carpet and we agreed that if she didnt replaced it, I wouldnt be charged upon move out. Unfortunately, she no longer worked there by the time I moved out and I was charged anyway. In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX turned over the account to XXXX XXXX, a collection agency. I told XXXX about the situation multiple times and the account has not been removed from my credit. I do have documentation showing the agreement made, on my move in/out inventory condition form. Even without this documentation though, the life span of carpet is typically 5 years. My carpet was older than 3 years when I moved in. I resided there for over 2 years. I shouldnt have been charged for a full carpet replacement at all. Although, I feel XXXX owes me money back for my deposit, that is not my main concern. I would like the account to be removed from my credit report and to be free and clear of these charges.

Was very harsh about needing to take out a loan to pay a debt or " bad things would happen ''. Was incredibly pushy and forced me to set up a phone call for the next day even though I said I had work. Talked to him the next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) at XXXX XXXX and I got threatened with credit damage, never being able to rent again, and that my dad would also take a hit. Got a call again at XXXXXXXX XXXX again ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and he said I am " refusing to pay debt '' because I couldn't get an exact day on when I could pay the debt when I was asking for an itemized bill I got told " that is not how this works and now we are going to do what we are going to do ''. Was told all calls are recorded so I know it will be on their files. When I asked what he was going to do he laughed and said " oh you will find out ''. Over the course of the last two days I have been called over 4 times and have had nothing but rude and threatening/ demeaning interactions.

I paid XXXX XXXX, with the expectation that the information would be completely deleted from all three credit reports -- not just reported as paid, but they did not so, so I still have a delinquent mark on my record, which is completely not my fault! They lied and have only updated the record as paid. They refused to provide anything in writing either. I have a 3:34 recording attached -- both parties knew they were being recorded -- -stating this info would be fully deleted from all three credit bureaus.

Hello, This company has to be stopped. Their collections tactics are inhuman and the way they speak to consumers should be a crime.I 've been harassed for trying to solve the issue in a decent/respectful way. This company has been reported an account from the year 2020 with an inaccurate balance. The amount reported is incorrect and they have been increasing the reported amount monthly, which is highly illegal for a closed account. I have had several conversations with their representatives. I've been cursed out, told I was a XXXX XXXX XXXX and that they will ruin my credit and make it impossible for me to ever rent again in the United States. They have contacted my mother and threatened a warrant on my arrest if she didn't have me to call them immediately. My mother who is already in poor health suffered a XXXX XXXX XXXX after their threatening and degrading phone calls. Can someone please help me solve this debt with this company. The reported amounts are inaccurate and they have blatantly stated they are out to ruin my credit/reputation. This debt is also a joint debt which I've tried to explain countless amounts of times to no avail.

This should be a crime. Now, I am dealing with constant telephone calls from a collection agency, for an amount that was paid immediately upon notification. I am not sure I blame the collection agency so much as I do XXXX XXXX XXXX The staff at XXXX XXXX XXXX has gone downhill since it was replaced by XXXX XXXX. They do not care about their tenants at all.

I lived in the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Connecticut for a year paid {$700.00} for a security deposit that I did not receive and I saw a report to the credit bureaus that I owe them {$3000.00}. I disputed it with XXXX and XXXX XXXX they deleted it from my account XXXX Still have it when I give them notice that I was leaving. They told me that I had to give them 60 days paid notice I said yes Im living there for 60 days. Of course Im gon na be paying you and I did when I disputed with XXXX they send a letter saying that amount was attached to me because of damages to the apartment, I was oddly ever at the apartment because I worked so much doing car service. I was hardly home I left the apartment, cleaned it from top to bottom even the blinds took pictures and videos and literally got rid of those pictures and videos from out my phone because my XXXX was full, so the statement that they say was damages to the apartment is false I believe is someway for them to try to collect. Im not really sure maybe the 60 days paid notice was them actually wanted extra money for me to give them notice I never heard of that before makes no sense to me.

Dear IQ Data International I am writing you in response to your recent communication regarding the alleged debt related to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; on XX/XX/2016, which you claim I owe. After careful review of my records and relevant laws, it has come to my attention that the statute of limitations for collecting this debt in Nevada has expired. According to Nevada Revised Statutes ( NRS ) 11.190, the statute of limitations for most types of debts in Nevada is six years. As the alleged debt in question is more than seven years old, it is now time-barred and legally unenforceable. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease all collection efforts related to this debt. Also want to remind you of your obligations under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from engaging in deceptive or unfair practices in attempting to collect debts. Pursuant to FDCPA Section 809 ( b ), if you continue to pursue collection activities on this time-barred debt, I will consider it a violation of my rights under the FDCPA and will take appropriate legal action.

XX/XX/2017 I moved out of the apartment complex XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX due to a HORRIBLE continuous roach infestation. I wrote to the leasing company multiple times and even have pictures to this day ( about the infestation ) and did not receive any response in the matter. Shortly before moving hurricane Harvey struck and I unfortunately lost my job. I had to relocate to XXXX and live with a relative. Months after I was told that I owed almost {$10000.00} in breaking the lease even though someone had already moved into the premises. IQ Data kept on harassing and calling me multiple times ; I consulted an attorney who then sent a settlement amount ( which I never agreed to ) of {$1000.00} and it was flatly denied. Last year I decided to call the company and see if this negative remark could be removed as I did not owe that amount and the representative I spoke with yelled at me and used profanities indicating that I was paying over $ XXXX/ month ( which I wasn't ) in rent and I needed to pay the full balance of over {$11000.00}. Since then every month I notice an increase on the account once I check my credit report.

I used to live at XXXX apartments at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, California. I noticed that the lease that was available on on-site.com, the website that this company uses to sign lease, was signed several days after I moved in. I know that I did not sign this lease as I signed a lease prior to moving in and the lease available online is not the same lease as the one that I did sign. The IP address associated with my signature and my cosigner 's signature matches the IP address of XXXX XXXX, who works at XXXX apartments at XXXX XXXX. They are now saying the I violated this lease after moving out and saying the I owe {$20000.00}, even though I did not sign this lease. They have reported this to XXXX XXXX XXXX, a collections agency, which is now requesting that I pay them {$22000.00}. I never signed this lease, my signature was forged on this lease by XXXX XXXX, therefore, I am not responsible for paying this amount. I have sent a letter disputing this debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX, in addition to filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, however, XXXX XXXX XXXX has still reported that I owe this debt to credit bureaus.

This account IQ Data International is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report which is a violation of the FDCPA and also FCRA. Ive sent in validation letters on XX/XX/XXXX in which I receiver no response from them and also have documentation with the tracking number showing it was receive on XX/XX/XXXX. Theyre also reporting inaccurate DATE OF LAST ACTIVITY as XX/XX/XXXX in which it has been ILLEGALLY Re-aged and in violation. I have made no payments towards this account none this year and it should not reflect XX/XX/XXXX. Ive disputed this account twice with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX which it came back as verified but yet on my credit report it doesnt show that the account was even verified which is in violation with the FCRA of which I may collect up to {$1000.00} per violation which I intend on doing so unless settled. This account has shows that the account balance is higher than the actual HIGH BALANCE which is indeed inaccurate information. The debt company can not add any fees towards an account purchased from the original creditor, it may only collect what was originally owed which this is violation

This company accepted contract to represent their client XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Landlord ) to collect a debt that I did not owe. I.Q. Data International accepted this contract by their client even after their client violated Florida Statue 83.14. Now I.D Data International violated the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act.

Their representatives were rude and condescending when I tried to get information about the debt they were trig to collect. In the end I had to follow their rules and send in a written request to see what the debt was for. The company never respond to my request which was received by them on XX/XX/20 at XXXX via certified mail ( Tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) .Further on XX/XX/20 I retained a lawyer XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to also sent a letter to resolve this mater and not further effect my good credit.

Apartment move-out, excessive charges. Lease states I provide electric utility, which I did, however management charged electric fee. Carpet replacement fee was for normal wear. I disputed initial collection. The collection is for an end-of-lease apartment move-out and contained excessive charges ( Claimed over {$2600.00} in damage for a unit rented for {$640.00} ) : Lease states I provide electric utility, which I did and cancelled the day I moved out, however management charged electric fee. Carpet replacement fee was for normal wear. Claimed {$1500.00} Painting fee was from normal wear and tv mounting holes. Claimed {$650.00} Microwave replacement fee? It worked when I moved out. Claimed {$200.00} They also charged fees for cleaning, removing trash, replacing blinds and a door. Claimed {$400.00} I disputed initial collection both to the apartments and collection agency, stating neither the carpet nor the paint were new at move-in and that I was a resident for several years so wear and tear was normal. It seems to me the apartments XXXX XXXX owned by XXXX XXXX exaggerated fees and repairs to drive up move-out statement.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am experiencing financial hardship due to a cut in my hours. I fell behind on my rent payments and was drowning with bills, I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have no financial help. During the time of not paying rent I had been trying to help my parents and my hours were significantly cut at work, I was barely making it, the company I work test students and staff at colleges, residential homes and offices for covid and im a collecter but my hours were cut due to budget cuts and because the covid numbers were getting low they didn't need us to test for covid. During that time my dad got very ill and was unable to work and I was trying to help my parents so they didn't lose their place and in doing so I lost my XXXX XXXX I lived at for over 6 years. Everything was happening all at once and I was unable to control the situation. I was trying to make sure my kids had food and a roof while also making sure my parents were okay, I hope you can forgive the balance I owe. I am trying to get back on track and catch up, it has definitely been a huge struggle that I hope to get out of. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

This Account was paid, closed, removed, to XXXX XXXXIQ Data in XXXX. The last 8 months or so XXXX has been reporting this account as new and every month has sent it to the bureaus. My credit scored has been demolished because of this and because its an apartment its showing on any housing that I apply for. I received a letter saying that a company has illegally obtained my information and has my information. I have called multiple times. Filed a dispute for this same account 3 times and instead of fixing this issue they keep saying that this is valid. I have spoke with them and the feedback I am receiving is more concerned with me paying another {$3000.00} instead of fixing there mistake. I have been rudely spoken to by there employees, I have been refused a manager. I have sent all proof of payment receipt.

Date : XX/XX/XXXX Complaint regarding my dispute with IQ dada International : I am in possession of the documents sent to me dated XX/XX/XXXX. The information is unresponsive to my demand. I demanded valid proof that I owe IQ data international or the XXXX any money. They responded to my complaint to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. Case number XXXX in which they indicate that they sent me a copy of my final account statement and a letter requesting additional information. They also stated that the XXXX XXXX confirmed that the balance is accurate and provided a copy an electronically signed lease. Which was not even included in their correspondence. Even if the electronically signed signature had been provided, it is still not valid proof that I owe money to these people. An electronic signature can be copied and pasted and attached to any document by anyone. With electronic signature, there is no document security. There is no verification process or any tracking for changes made to the document after signing. I am requesting that this collection agency provide me with valid proof before continuing collection activities.

Sometime between XXXX and XX/XX/2019 I went to make a large purchase, they ran my credit and it was brought to my attention that " XXXX XXXX '' or " IQ Data International '' put a $ 22,000+ collections account on my credit file, stating that the account was opened in XX/XX/2019. During which time I did not live in the state of Minnesota. I have not, to date, received ANY correspondences regarding this alleged debt owed. Between XX/XX/2019 and Present, the amount owed mysteriously changed from $ 22k+ to now showing as $ 11k+. In XX/XX/2019, I filed a dispute with all three major credit bureaus, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Since then, XXXX XXXX and XXXX have both investigated and determined that said account does not belong to me and have removed them from my credit files completely. To date, I am still in a back and forth battle with XXXX. They refuse to remove this inaccurate reporting from my credit file. I would like to note, I have zero collections accounts on my credit file with exceptional payment history on all open accounts. This fraudulently reported account may hinder my home buying process. Please advise.

When I moved out from this apartment that we were renting, we deliver the keys to the staff in the front desk resident services, they checked the apartment and once that happened they did not lock the door, We took pictures of everything ( including the kitchen countertop ) and weeks later they sent an envelope in the mail saying they will give us back money from the deposit, after that the company that rents these apartments sent us another envelope by mail ( week way after the first one ), stating that there was damage in the kitchen ( we did not do this damage ) since we delivered keys weeks before of this event and took photographic evidence since we refused to pay this debt they passed this to a debt collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I explained to them that I disputed with the apartment company this debt and had evidence that we did not owe anything, they said to me is just {$300.00} and tried to harras me about impacting my credit score for years if I did not pay them. I still have the photos and the evidence of the email communications with the apartment complex company when I disputed this fake debt.

No. I don't have a screenshot of the final {$0.00} ledger because typically {$0.00} means {$0.00} and not debt collections on a false {$990.00} debt. I have opened up a small claims case against I.Q.

I received a letter in the mail in early XXXX from IQ Data International Collections company stating they were collecting a debt that had been sent to collections totalling XXXX by XXXX on XXXX XXXX. We never moved received a notice from the apartments stating this debt was owed in the first place. After contacting the debt collections agency directly and providing written proof to XXXX via email that the billed amount was due to a computer glitch issue and we did not actually owe any further money ( see messages below ), they went forward and reported this to my credit. Today, I received a notice that I have a derogatory report on my Credit Report from this debt collection agency that your company hired after providing direct proof to them on XXXX XXXXbefore it was ever reported ( please see the emails below ) stating that we do not actually owe anything. This is a clear breach of the FDCPA laws. I am requesting that this be handled internally by your office to report that this debt no longer is required as it is now on my credit report and they have been unresponsive to me now after multiple attempts.

I am disputing a debt and I.Q. Data International- the company name I found on my credit report will not take my dispute seriously. They were assigned the account on XX/XX/XXXX and first reported it to the bureaus in early XX/XX/, without me included at all in the process. They continue to update the account with a new " Date Reported '' each month with additional fees tacked on. I have a very large file of documentation, and they have not reached out to tell me how to get it to them electronically. Instead of looking at what I have, they have reported me to the credit reporting agencies and keep adding the charge in interest. I have attached the second payment I gave to XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX payment. They would not take the first one as it was a few cents off of the total owed. My cashiers check was photocopied, accepted, and signed by XXXX, office staff at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IL. There, a series of events on their part took place that need to be reviewed because they are extremely confusing. There is no indication in any document that I owed them more money, other than the double-billing for XX/XX/.

Validation of debt was submitted to this company via certified mail on XX/XX/23. Receipt of confirmation as received. They failed to respond to the validation of the debt. IQ Data International and the Original Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX were contacted regarding incorrect charges. Both failed to respond. IQ Data International also violates FDCPA guidelines by not allowing enough response time on their original notification. The amount of debt IQ Data International intends to collect is {$1900.00}. That is incorrect. I never refused to pay the debt. I asked the debt collector to contact the original creditor to revise the amount and contact me when the charges were revised. I was not contacted, and the company did not call me after they received the validation of the debt and had to cease all communication to remain in compliance. But they should've contacted me in writing. This indicates that they did receive the XXXX, yet failed to respond. IQ Data International proceeded to report this debt to my credit, they were also contacting my child who was a minor at the time the account in dispute was opened.

IQ Data has been attempting to collect on a debt for the past four years that was signed and forwarded to them by one XXXX XXXX representing XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX stated, under oath, that she did not have the authority to attest or sign legal documents. She was only the community manager. The debt claimed by this collection agency was signed by the same XXXX XXXX and was based on legal documents of an alleged debt by, once again, XXXX XXXX. The debt is either invalid or the entities above have perjured themselves in court. The debt is in either case invalid and not verifiable. The collection agency would need to provide another signed document by an authorized party, from the inception of that debt or else remove the debt from all bureau reports. Enclosed is the case number and hearing information where I was required to refile against a party with legal authority. XXXX XXXX was present as the defendant for the entities and not qualified by her own admission to being a legal authority to handle financial matters for the property.

In that invoice it stated, the apartment was not clean, repainted and carpet had to be cleaned. I submitted pictures to the apartment complex to support that the apartment was clean along with the carpet being clean. The office personnel reached out to the billing office and still started the apartment was not cleaned when I moved out. Several pictures were submitted to have the charges reversed. The account was turned over to IQ Data International, When I spoke to the representative at IQ Data International regarding submitting my pictures and to dispute the charges, I was informed I had to pay the amount due first and then the dispute progress would begin. I refused because I knew it was a waste of time and a tactic. I didn't believe in the system to follow through. Daily interest is added to the balance which increases the monthly balance. Current balance is {$520.00}. I want this rectify with the charges being dismissed and stop incurring daily/monthly interest fees.

The Debt Collectors stated it was they whom should be receiving the payments.On XX/XX/XXXX the property confirmed the Debt Collectors are the responsible party for payments.I have tried to make a payment plan and also advised them to send me correspondence multiple times to verify the debt. They have stated the debt has been in the account XX/XX/XXXX. I have tried to make a payment plan while also trying to make a debt settlement but without any documentation they have been very aggressive with having a payment up front to keep the account open before garnishing my wages. I believe this to be extremely uncomfortable and difficult. I still have NOT received any correspondence to confirm the debt. XX/XX/XXXX

IQ Data Int'l received a debt collection from an apartment complex in Arizona, in which my daughter resided. I had retained counsel to get out of the lease and the apartment complex sent a collection in the amount of {$5500.00} for early termination of a lease. They subsequently sent it to IQ Data Int'l who then tried collecting the above debt. I hired another attorney and a settlement agreement was signed on XX/XX/2023 holding me harmless of any of the debt mentioned above and in said settlement ( attached to this complaint ) on page 2 they were to remove this from my credit report within 30 days of the XX/XX/2023 agreement. Well, it's not removed and IQ Data Int'l will not talk to me ( they have hung up on me twice ) and state that they will only talk to my attorney ( which is costly ), and they refuse to remove it from my credit report. This is affecting my licensing renewals in two state within the XXXX XXXX, and they are costing me money every time I talk to and/or email my attorney. This is ludicrous and I need assistance asap as I am now losing income as well.

While checking my credit report, I notice an account from IQ DATA INT'L that I believe is not being reported correctly on my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent them a certified letter informing them that they were reporting inaccurate information on my credit report and requested that they provide me with the information that they used to verify the accuracy of my account. ( See Attached ). After not hearing from them for more than 90 days, I sent another certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX, which included a Request for Dismissal ruling from The XXXX XXXX of California. ( See attached ), again requesting that they remove the negative remarks that were showing up on my credit report. I also sent certified letters to the three credit bureaus, along with my incident report, ( which is attached ), asking them to verify or remove the negative report on my credit report that IQ DATA INT'L is reporting. So far, I have not gotten a response. As you can see, I have been dealing with this situation for over a year with no success, so I am writing to you to help me with this matter.

I lived at XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX from XXXX. I was originally on a XXXX year lease and once my lease was up I was paying month to month and no longer under contract. I put in a XXXX day notice with the company advising them that I was in the process of buying a home and would be moving out at the end of XX/XX/2018. I closed on my home XX/XX/2018 and moved out of the apartment a couple days letter. I am not sure why the apartments are saying I owe them as my notice was put in properly. The apartments have also been sold to a new company since I moved away which should have cancelled out any prior obligations. My problem is that I never received any communication or notices from XXXX XXXX regarding this alleged debt. They allowed IQ data International, a debt collector to take over this and report this information to the credit bureaus unlawfully. The collection company is also charging and reporting interest and fees on my credit report when I have no contract or obligation with them at all. I am asking that this debt be removed from all credit bureaus immediately.

XX/XX/XXXX I hired an attorney to represent me in breaking my lease Persuant to Nevada law for inhabitable conditions. I provided 30 day notice. I moved out XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX not even 30 days after moving out XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a wrongful excessive bill immediately to collections without any attempt to settle or put me on notice of this debt before sending it to IQ data international, Inc. immediately upon receiving notice of this debt from IQ data international in XX/XX/XXXX, I made them aware both verbally and in writing that I was disputing this debt. I also verbally and in writing requested debt validation with no response. IQ data international Harrassed both me and my partner calling us several times a day, even after we sent them a cease and desist letter. IQ international data then began contacting our employers to get ahold of us. It has not been 30 days since we sent out written correspondence with no response from IQ international inc & they have now put this collection onto our credit, without ever acknowledging our dispute of this debt.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid a debt to IQ Data that I owed. But while talking to the representitive, I was told that they had another open account for a debt from an apartment complex in XXXX. Except for 4 years living in XXXX and XXXX, I have lived in XXXX. When they researched it on there end, I was told that it was a mistake because I share the same last four of my social, and that it will be fixed. Today, I have recieved a call from IQ Data for the same debt that was wrongly placed in my name. When trying to explain the issue, I was notifed my name is on it, so it should be mine. Then when asked to talk to a supervisor, I was placed on hold for a couple seconds, then told they were not there. I called back, and got the same response, and was told only they would not contact me anymore. But said to call to see if I fixed this debt. I have not gotten any proof of this debt in the mail, or had any idea about this debt until XXXX of XXXX XXXX. Yet there website has said it's been in collections since XXXX. If it was mine it would have been on my credit report.

Nearly every single day many times a day starting in XXXX 2022, a IQ data international attempted to collect a debt of {$820.00}. I repeatedly told them that I would like to make an installment account and negotiate pay for delete arrangements, they refuse multiple times and I told them I could not pay the debt out right. They threatened to put it on my credit report if I did not pay in full by a certain date and suggested I apply for loans to pay their debt of which the loans they recommended were of an upwards of XXXX % interest. I repeatedly request installment plans and was denied, they repeatedly called me despite me telling them not to call me and despite me telling them when I would call them back to get back in contact. They have frequently called me despite me telling them not to call me. As I believe today they put it on my credit report despite continually refusing to send written documentation or negotiate installment payments. This was after a many months long harassment campaign, where threats were utilized about damaging my credit.

I received a notification from XXXX XXXX XXXX that I have an Eviction mark on my XXXX Consumer Disclosure report. XXXX XXXX, a residential property, accessed my report following a rental application for an apartment I applied to on XX/XX/XXXX. My application was denied due to this false statement of Eviction. On XX/XX/XXXX my Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) represented my case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The judge presiding over the case dismissed the Eviction penalty due to my economic hardship status ( due to XXXX XXXX, XXXX refusal to acknowledge XXXX County rental hardship program ), and therefore I was unable to pay the {$1700.00} balance owed. I was demanded by XXXX XXXX, XXXX to vacate the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX in XXXX, XXXX. I obliged and I was no longer subject to eviction status.

Unfortunately, despite repeated requests, your company has failed to provide the necessary burden of proof to prove the rent payments claim. This is a serious concern that needs immediate attention and resolution. I am left with no choice but to formally demand that your company produce the complete and accurate ledger detailing the rent payments from your client within the next 15 days. Please comply with this demand to ensure I can initiate legal action against your company for engaging in what appears to be unlawful practices through a collection agency. Unfortunately, I'm in this situation and must address your company 's lack of professionalism and responsiveness. As a last resort, I have no option but to escalate this matter further by using my attorney. Please treat this matter as quickly as possible. I'd appreciate it if you could immediately pay attention to providing the requested proof to avoid legal action. I'd like quick action and a solution to this issue within the timeframe I've specified within 15 days of this email.

I submitted my notice to vacate 60 days prior to my move out date of XX/XX/23. I moved on XX/XX/23 and advised the complex that I moved. The office was closed due to renovation and I had no idea where they were in order to turn in the keys. I made an appointment to turn in the keys and thought everything was cleared. I was never advised that I owed any monies and then two months later, I get a collection letter. I was never given any opportunity to settle with the complex if I were to owe anything. This was turned over so quickly because I didn't want to renew my lease. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid the amount due in the portal that covered XXXX XX/XX/23 and had a XXXX balance. On this notice from the collection agency, it says I owe XXXX. I was charged two late fees of XXXX after I moved and was charged for 11 days in XXXX and another 4 days for XXXX after I had already moved out and given them the keys. I do not owe XXXX and this account needs to be closed out and I don't want any other correspondence from the collection agency.

I was contacted by IQ-Data International collection agency I was told that they werent a standard collection agency and they didnt buy my debt but were contracted to collect. I was told they did not do payment arrangements but under certain circumstances they would allow a payment arrangement and this was entered into under the pretense that as long as I made those payments on time, it would not report. Ive consistently made payments since the agreement was entered into, I awoke on XXXX XXXX with the debt on my credit. I then contacted the agency and basically was called a liar stating that couldnt have been said, I prompted them to listen to the recording from my interaction. Ive made at least 3 payments on this debt under the guise that it would not be reported now they have reported and are saying I would need to pay in full the remainder in order to get it removed. The representative was not honest or forthright and basically tricked me into the agreement knowing that it wouldnt prevent them from reporting.

XXXX XXXX gave TWO companies, IQ Data and XXXX my debt. There is record of both companies with the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) on my credit files. XXXX removed their files when they found out that XXXX XXXX illegally gave my debt to, two different companies. IQ data is refusing to cooperate and delete the credit file from my XXXX report. It is not showing on my XXXX but is still showing on my XXXX. I have disputed it multiple times but XXXX XXXX seems to have them believing that they are correct but when XXXX reached out to XXXX XXXX inquiring about IQ data, XXXX XXXX never responded in which they had to remove their credit files. This has falsely impacted my credit in a tremendous way, I have spent years and months trying to get this removed with the little knowledge that I had but I know more now and IQ data, XXXX and XXXX XXXX have done me wrong the past 5 years and I am going to be seeking compensation because theres more to this story than people know which involves the property manager at XXXX XXXX.

Today I called IQ data International explaining my situation and they told me that they are going to send me some paper work to fill out and return it back to them with the documents or evidence that I provided last time with the others debt collections that I had before. This includes my driver license, police report, and documents from the lawfirm that initially made me aware that my Identity was stolen.

On XX/XX/XXXX I called to ask about a confirmation of payment for debt and I asked where they going to remove it and he told me no because the account is now closed and they cant do it. However, I keep getting the run around with this company. When I was trying to dispute the debt I had a lady laugh in my face and told me duh stupid this is the debt you owe and what are you talking about and hung up on me. I call again and I get another person stating that cant help me in regards to disputing my debt at first and then if I pay how they can take it off and they tell me they cant take it off. Another time I call, I asked about how they can take payment and the lady couldnt help me with the online payment website and told me there was nothing I can do. I have asked several times through different people about getting it removed and no one told me they could help me do it through their office. Then the last time I call they tell me I shouldve done it through their office and when asking for help I didnt get that.

We called IQ data international about a report on XXXX XXXX credit. The court documents we have regarding the debt owed did not match what the collector was saying, call got disconnected before we could agree to a settlement amount. upon further consideration we wanted to confirm the amounts were accurate before paying almost 5k and the collector then became irate, would not let us finish, refused to send us any type of validation for debt, said we could just negatively let it hit our credit, after mutliple conversations with my wife they then told her they wouldn't speak to her because it " wasnt her debt '' and screamed at the phone that they " renig '' theyre offer and to have XXXX call. We made attempts to validate this debt and they refused. The minute we questioned the validity of this debt and wanted proof in writing they because absolutely Irate. my wife never gave them permission to call her cell today XXXX and they did for the debt but then when she had a question they refused to talk to her.

I have been receiving numerous collections calls for {$510.00} XXXX which are inflated move out costs from my old apartment complex which I paid in XX/XX/XXXX. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX inflated my bill, had my balance at {$0.00} u til I called just to verify at the end of XXXX. I was issued a bill by XXXX in the leasing office for {$510.00} which I paid within hours ( to be sure I would stay in good standing with the housing authority. I knew the costs were inflated but because of the complexs business practices, I wanted to pay and hope for rectification later. The apartments sent me to collections on XX/XX/XXXX despite me already paying. I believe its partly in retaliation to me leaving a truthful u flattering XXXX review and them being biased with regards to housing recipients. I have been and am STILL receiving unwanted and unwarranted collection calls from XXXX XXXX even after providing proof of payment of the debt which is invalid to begin with, Ive still been rudely and aggressively harassed.

In XX/XX/2020 I contacted IQ Data in regards to an collection on my credit report. I contacted the collection agency and informed them that I had no recollection of signing a lease. I moved into the property as a roomate and not a leasor and I know to my knowledge I would have never signed such an obligation. I requested the company to send a copy of the lease in question and I did not see any signature on the actual document but instead an attatched list of electronic signatures i did not recognize as my signature nor do not recognize the IP address. I immediately filed a police report to document the incident. I also have proof I was not living in the property at the time the lease was signed and ended. I only lived there periodically and temporarily. I would like this item to be removed from my credit report on the count of Identity fraud and failure to produce adequate evidence. the signature does not match the signature on my drivers license therefore It is a fraudulent and voidable contract.

Movers refused to enter the apartment as there were live rats running around the apartment and dead rats in traps not cleared for weeks unless a {$2000.00} premium for risk was paid. ( XXXX XXXX did nothing for 2 months being aware of the problem ). I submitted bills in excess of {$8000.00} of which XXXX signed for and refuses to pay for ( legal pending ) Instead the same day XXXX sent a questionable file to I.Q. Data International who contacted me. I told them the story but no matter what I told them they ignored and continued calling me about this questionable debt. I told them that I will have to go legal against XXXX for this debt. For some reason I.Q. Data International put a higher amount on the XXXX file. They did not investigate what I told them or even their client. If they did they would see XXXX has a history of this. I DO NOT OWE ANYTHING AND XXXX XXXX OWES ME MONEY.

I lived in the XXXX at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and the ceiling caved in on me in the shower. I reported it and they refused to fix it. I contacted local Legal Aid to find out my next course of action and was given paperwork to serve them and if they did not fix I would be moving out as it was a health violation. Up until that point I was paid on all of my rent and utilities, I moved out before the end of my current month I had paid even. Upon moving out there was no damage besides the ceiling for which I was moving out because of. I have video and picture proof. I asked to do a walk out when I went to turn my key in and they refused. Recently I am working on my credit and have been trying to contact the company it is in collections with to find out why they think I owe this money and have been threatened to sue me, garnish my wages ( I am XXXX ) etc. I have tried in writing as well and have certified proof that every address found on my credit report for this company results in a returned letter.

IQ Data International has listed an account on my credit report and is continually calling me and adding interest monthly to a balance that has already been paid through a garnishment. I called the attorney handling the garnishment XXXX XXXX XXXX and their collections department XXXX XXXX and was informed that they do not use IQ Data for collections and had never heard of them. The attorney then contacted the original creditor to confirm that this account was not sold to or supposed to be handled by IQ Data and the original creditor stated that they only send accounts to the attorney on record and their collections department which is NOT IQ Data International. At this point everyone is baffled as to how this company got my information and has been adding interest to a balance monthly on my credit report for an account that was never owned by them and is now paid. Upon contacting IQ Data International trying to get this resolved I was spoken to rudely, told I owed it and was then hung up on.

I have reached out several times to this company and filed a dispute about this account. I have never lived here nor signed a lease agreement to this property. I have always lived at one address in XXXX, Georgia. This company has failed to comply with me as a consumer protecting my credit profile. In fact they are in huge violation of the FCRA and CFPB. I have informed them numerous times of the violation but instead they send stall letters, re-age the account by updating the date of last activity in hopes of keeping negative information on my profile. They have never provided me with proof or anything. I have been a victim of identity theft and they can retrieve the police report and FTC Report which is linked to my credit profile. This is a nightmare and I ask you please to remove this from my profile. When I spoke with XXXX they said they didnt care if I file a complaint with you guys because CFPB does no t matter and the rep hung up the phone on me. I ask you please to have this removed.

I moved out of a property in 2018, I paid 1st months rent, last months rent and security ( equal to 1 months rent ) when I initially moved in. I moved out before the end of my last month and never got the pro rated amount for last months rent or security deposit back which was fine, the property was cleaned professionally before I left and was in good shape, then I see on my credit report that I owe this property over {$12000.00} which equates to approximately 5 months rent! I have reached out to this property and have told them this is an egregious act and I absolutely do not owe anything to this property and demand they remove this from my credit report and they have been flagrantly unresponsive! Please help as I have a wife and XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter and this collection on my credit is preventing me from leasing a home in a decent area! I lose sleep over this every night! I have been fighting this since 2018 please please help! Thanks In Advance For Your Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX

My ex-husband has been contacted by a debt collector who identified themselves as IQ Data. They said we owe {$7000.00} to our previous rental/apartments. When asked if a validation letter was ever sent, the collector advised it was sent to our old apartment which is why it wasn't received. I put in a mail forwarding request with USPS and we never received a validation letter. The collector advised my ex-husband to take out a loan and payment must be made in full in two days otherwise they will assume it is a refusal to pay and send a judgement to seize property or garnish wages. They have not given us any time to dispute the debt nor have we been informed how to dispute the debt. I am writing this on XX/XX/23 at XXXX and the collector advised that we have until this same day at XXXX to make payment before they go through with refusal to pay. The collector 's name is XXXX XXXX and he has also contacted my ex-husband on XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23 demanding payment with deadlines attached.

IQ Data International appeared on my credit file back in XXXX. I've been trying for approx two years to get rid of them. The yhave been very diffcult to deal with. I've asked specifically for information and they have yet to validate this particular debt. All they are doing is harassing me and make idle threats. I just notice today XX/XX/XXXX that they just reported Date of Deliq as XX/XX/XXXX which is Illegal. I know the law in regards to Creditors reporting false information and this information is very much in accurate. Plus this account is not mine and I've prove to this Collection Debtor of those facts I've asked repeatly for validation and they continue to ignore me as a consumer. I've received crazy phone calls that has me stressed out and mentally challenged. I don't know what else to do. These companies should not get away of harassing consumers without any valid proof. Theres no account number theres no type of identification so I can properly dispute. Adagio on the XXXX

In XX/XX/2017, I was living in a student apartment complex, XXXX XXXX. In XXXX and XXXX, of XXXX, management was aware that maintenance was in my apartment three times without giving my roommates and I notice. It was in our contract, that every time maintenance was to be in our apartment, we would be notified. No one was home during these maintenance appointments. However, during one of the three visits, {$1500.00} was stolen out of my room. It also was never replaced. I thought about police report, threatened to sue management, and spoke to the property manager three times. During the last conversation, the property Manager let me know that my roommates and I, due to the inconvenience, would not have to pay the cleaning fee after we move out. Six months to a year after XX/XX/2017, I got a notification that I was being sent to collections for a cleaning fee that I never paid. The cleaning fee that has been sent to IQ Data International Inc., is a fraud account on my credit.

Debt is damages from an apartment complex we lived at for XXXXXXXX XXXX. Apartment charged us for full replacement without reducing for depreciation and charged for things that are illegal to charge for. I communicated the law to them with links to the government sites that stated what they could charge for and that certain items had to be depreciated. I asked for receipts for the repairs they billed us for and they refused. They told me my only options were to pay, setup a payment plan, or they would send me to collections. I continued to dispute the amount with them and they responded by sending me to collections and refusing to communicate any further with me. I sent a letter disputing the debt to IQ Data Corporation ( the debt collector ) which they acknowledged receiving and said they would get a judgement against me for the debt. It has been over a year since they communicated that and nothing has happened while my credit has continued to be damaged by the debt.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

This was a house that I moved out of and they tried to sue me. I went to court nobody from their company showed up, the judge dismissed this case in its entirety and also noted that the plaintiff being vintage plaza would not be able to seek any monetary damages from me ever nor put anything negative on my credit report and if they did they would be held in contempt of court. I got notified by a collection agency and that's how I found out what was going on. It is on my credit and it is not supposed to be and I am fighting with them to get this removed from my credit. I just went back to court and the judge issued a {$2500.00} contempt of court fine and let it be known that they need to remove this from my credit or they will face a {$10000.00} fine. They do not want to remove this from my credit even though it was never supposed to be there in the beginning I left not owing anything and they still tried to get me for damages after they were told they could not.

Dear All, I am submitting this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding a debt charged to me, which I do not recognize and do not owe. I am receiving some calls requesting me to pay this debt, and my name is already in collection with credit bureaus. I called them today ( XX/XX/18 ) requesting proof of debt and this was refused. IQ associate told me that this document would be provided only if I pay my debt in full. In addition, I have never received any official letter or any other document via mail, informing me about this debt. This debt there is no origin, nor documentation, and I Q is just assuming that I owe and not proofing it, which means, this debt does not exist. Again, my name is in collection, jeopardizing my financial life, without any reason. I kindly ask for the CFPB to contact I Q requesting appropriate behavior, as well as ask them to remove immediately my name from the collection status. Many thanks in advance, Best Regards,

Over time of Trying to communicate with IQ data international, the way they speak to a person on the phone is very very rude and distasteful. They blame you and make you feel bad for why you even have a debt with them in the first place. Now with covid and its variants things have changed drastically, less hours at work, deaths in the family and with this inaccurate information once the account was closed and sold. I can not get cooperation from this colony whatsoever. Im trying to find a new home for my family but trying to resolve this debt is in the way. And I dont know who to communicate with other than them because they hurt your feelings, make you feel bad, theyre rude as XXXX and they make you cry over the phone. Its heartbreaking, Im just trying to cover what debts I can in this pandemic. I cant get anything extra because of a balance Ive already figured out and had settled 2 years ago. Please help Im desperate. I need a way to feed myself and my family.

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted IQ Data about a settlement offer. The representative offered 90 % which was actually 10 % off of the balance. I have left multiple messages for a manager to contact me regarding my account. The balance owed is not correct. They are charging interest. The customer service representatives are not helpful. I can not register to make a payment online and I am trying to resolve this issue. On XX/XX/XXXX, I also talked with XXXX XXXX and he indicated that my account has to be paid in full and communicated that they dont have to give me a settlement or accept payment arrangements. He also indicated that the payment arrangement were no longer valid because I declined. He told me to use my credit card or ask family. Moreover, I requested to speak to a manager about this on today. I am being transferred to a voicemail but no one is calling back. XXXX was not helpful at all. I emailed compliance regarding this but no one has responded.

This was a joint account with my husband. This collection was removed from all 3 of my husbands credit reports because it was fraud but it still remains attached to me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted IQ Data International via email per companys request and to verify this debit. I never heard back from them. I constantly called to ask the status of the verification and I was constantly told it hasnt been checked yet. I still received calls about this debt that I do not owe. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed this account with XXXX and XXXX. XXXX had no knowledge of the debt and XXXX deleted it due to it being investigated and its not my debt. For whatever reason, XXXX has come back verified. I also received a letter from IQ Data telling me that why will not investigate this anymore because its verified as my debt but they have yet to send me any proof that its mines. Ive been fighting this debt long enough and I need this deleted from my XXXX report as it is not my debt.

I have filed multiple disputes through the credit bureau, and the debt has stayed on my credit score for an outstanding amount of money. I have XXXX the company contact information since it has been over 7 years this debt has been on my credit score and has not fallen off. I requested verification of the debt with XXXX who I am assuming is management for this debt company, who told me he has sent me mail about the debt that I never received. I also asked for an itemized list and debt validation on the amount of the debt and he responded with " We're not interested in sending you that information ''. So I told him I wouldn't waste any more of his time since he will not give me the information I requested on this debt.

I was notified they took over a debt from a move out that I had received an emailed bill but no follow up on. Requested them to send me the information via email or fax, they did not, and as I am a XX/XX/XXXXveteran I didn't have a mailing address to give. They were extremely aggressive argumentative and condescending on the phone and gave me anXX/XX/XXXX. Asked for info on the debt and was told there was nothing they could do or send me. I told them multiple times I was willing to pay what I owed if they could provide proof but they were unable to. Felt guilted and coerced into paying and I was threatened with more credit reporting. They also said I never gave a forwarding address, when looking at the records, on the bill I received there is a forwarding address so that was a lie and they never sent it to the forwarding address. They also said they could not take payments online and forced me to pay over the phone when that was also not true.

IQ Data International is falsely reporting ( to all three credit reporting agencies ) a debt that is not owed and attempting to collect that debt. Their client ( XXXX XXXX ) has written a letter, on XXXX 's letterhead, noting they have no record of such debt. I sent a request for validation, and it was received by IQ Data Int. on XX/XX/XXXX, and a copy of the XXXX letter was sent along with that ( and again on XX/XX/XXXX ). IQ Data Int. has not provided any response to said letter to date. XXXX XXXX XXXX. confirms that they have no, and have not asked for from their client, any documents that would validate this debt ; rather, computerized communication is used to " validate the debt ''. Despite the letters and phone communication with IQ Data International, they refuse to make any effort to confirm the debt, beyond a computer survey, and hold no documents that verify that I am the intended debtor and/or that the debt is legal/owed in any way.

Each time, she would find it and the case was dismissed or non suit. Well prior to her I got sick ( XXXX ) and filed bankruptcy. I complained about mold in my apartment and reported it, the inspector came out and gave my apt violations. The manager became angry did some digging and when I moved out later I received collections from IQ data my previous bill that I filed bankruptcy on {$4100.00} from XXXX at XXXX. I showed all my paperwork to several mangers which told me the manager that did the dirty deed was no longer there for other underhanded things and embezzlement ; which I already knew it was talk all over the complex. I could care less I want this removed from my credit.

I am disputing the validity of the past due debt imposed by XXXX at XXXX XXXX on my credit report. Despite a settlement agreement, the debt is invalid as myself and the other tenant left fully paid up and without any wrongdoing. We possess evidence to support our claim, the condition of the unit upon exit, and we were not formally contacted as required by law. Furthermore, XXXX at XXXX XXXX has engaged in retaliatory actions against me, including harassment and intimidation tactics. These tactics from them are in response to a documented incident involving a partner of XXXX which brandished a firearm and put myself and my families life in imminent danger. This behavior is unacceptable and must cease immediately. We demand that XXXX at XXXX XXXX remove the past due debt from my credit report and return our security deposit as required by law and as per terms of our settlement agreement. A fair resolution to this matter is expected.

XX/XX/2017 a collection was placed on my credit for {$3000.00}. XXXX years later the balance went up to {$5400.00} for alleged damages for a 2 bedroom apartment. I was told to vacate the property within 7 days because my police K-9 bit a neighbors dog requiring 1 stitch, which we offered to pay for. However, the resident chose to report it to the front office and the manager notified my family that we would have an eviction on our record if we didnt leave within 7 days. This obviously violated our lease terms with us having to pay for months of rent without residing at the property. The damage estimate was severely inflated as I was a real estate appraiser for 10 years and based on cost to replace a new 2 bedroom would be far less than the collection. The estimate was not realistic and extremely exaggerated. I am a 100 % Total and permanent XXXX Veteran who served XXXX branches of the military and served my community as a XXXX XXXX.

I also advised them per the fair debt collection act, I have the right to receive the debt in writing within 5 days of contact.. The agent advised the letter was mailed XX/XX/2022 and not sent over night. I advised the agent I will call them to discuss debt after I receive the notice.

Hello. I attempted to call IQ Data on XX/XX/2021 in regards to a debt I owed and advised to them I could not pay this full but wanted to make a payments and would pay them in lump sump payment, the representative informed me this was unacceptable, told me to borrow a loan and advised to them did not feel comfortable doing that since I was already in debt. Stated for me to sale items, even suggested to me would be in breach of contract and could cause serious legal action, damage my credit, including wage garnishment etc. I called back and asked for VP IQ Data and was transferred too someone named XXXX was incredibly rude as well and hung up in my face. This was a very bad experience for me. I want to take care of my debt but refuse to work with me while being rude, and threatening. When I would call back to get a reply they would continue to transfer me all around. Last contact advised will document call and hang up in my face.

To Whom It May Concern : Im responding to you sent me this is the first piece of correspondence Ive received from you on this matter. I believe I do not owe your firm what you say I owe, and I request that you please provide me with the following : tell me what I owe money for illustrate how your firm calculated the total amount in question. provide me with any copies of signed documents showing that I agreed to pay what you firm claims I owe. show me that you are licensed in my state, and give me your license number. stop contacting me about this matter, or any other you have, except to provide me with proof that I owe what you say I owe. I request that the company that you say I owe money to be sent a copy of this dispute, so that they do not report this on my credit report. I further expect that if you already reported me to a credit bureau, you notify them that I have not and do not agree with this debt in question.

On XX/XX/XXXX i turned in XXXX orders to the housing department at XXXX XXXX. I moved out XX/XX/XXXX. I am now being charged XXXX $ for rent and XXXX $ in cleaning fees. I told them to keep my deposit for cleaning fees. I called and spoke with IQ data international and they said i owe rent for XXXX because its 30 days from next rent day which is XX/XX/XXXX. Rent is due XX/XX/XXXX. That is 31 days. That was incorrect. I should have not been charged for XXXX and my deposit should have covered all cleaning fees. I was then told my deposit was given as a gift to the apartment company and it does not cover cleaning charges. The apartments only accepted money orders which i have proof taking it out XX/XX/XXXX. Please help me to take care of this for my credit. I feel like i have been wronged. I asked for proof from the apartments that i paid and they told me there under new management and have no proof of my orders and what i paid.

THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT!!, STOP SAYING THIS IS A DUPLICATE. THIS MATTER WAS NOT RESOLVED!! There was not A RESPONSE IN 30 DAYS after XX/XX/2021, therefore this needs to be deleted. The account was not validated within 30 days of requesting validation. I have sent 2 correspondence letters to dispute the validity of the debit within the initial 30 day period ( the third letter was sent via certified mail to ensure delivery/signature confirmation ) requesting validation of debt ( I disputed the {$3500.00} debt that you are attempting to collect is unlawful and it violate the FDCPA. I do not owe {$3500.00} that's inaccurate ) however as of date I have received no response from this collection agency however they are still continuing to report inaccurate unverified information on my credit report.Yet, they continue to report negative information to the credit bureaus making it hard for me to maintain good credit.

Property Management : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX The debt is for apartment lease. First of all, I tried my best even before I move out to get a statement ( sent emails, registered letters by XXXX, handed letters to the office ) from the property management to pay, but because of their miscommunication and carelessness, I received a statement after XXXX months accompanied with annoying calls from a collection agency. The property management by the community XXXX offered me a settlement payment, it's overcharge but I paid to end this issue. The agency keeps frequently sending me short missed calls, and when answers, they threaten me to report my credit file and go to court. I told them many times that I settled my payment but they still threatening me and lastly asked me how much did I pay to the property! They call me while driving, eating or working and within meetings, they rudely speak and disturb my day.

I was made aware of a seemingly erroneous debt that had come up on an apartment screening. When I learned of the debt servicer IQ Data International I attempted to contact them in order to resolve the issue. After they almost coerced me into paying a debt they had yet to verify. I asked for debt verification along with the proof of the agreement where this debt originated. Once I asked for this, the tone changed and the person on the other side of the line became very rude. Wouldn't stop talking over me, and eventually responded with " I don't care what you have to say '' essentially no longer listening to me and only wanting me to pay up. I hung up before they could get any nastier. As soon as I asked for clarity on the debt they are trying to collect they became unruly and unable to communicate. This didn't feel legitimate. This felt like a shakedown from someone who has too much of my personal information.

Hello, I took the time to contact IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX via a debt verification letter in the mail. It is XX/XX/XXXX, and I had not received correspondence. I called them today, XX/XX/XXXX to see if they had sent a letter in the mail with the debt verification. They indeed proved that they did not. The representative I spoke to was very rude and started screaming and talking over me about a letter in XXXX. I explained to her that whatever debt she is alleging happened in XXXX has nothing to do with when I asked for debt verification in XX/XX/XXXX. I then let them know that not responding to a debt verification letter will prompt me to contact the CFPB. She continued to talk over me, got extremely upset because I kept referring to the debt as " alleged '' until they prove it via verification letter, and eventually hung up. I have a recording of this call.

The apartment complex where I stayed from XX/XX/2017 to XX/XX/2017 said I failed to give them written notice before moving out. So they request that I pay them for the XX/XX/2017 rent and that I owe them {$300.00}. However, with interest, that amount has ballooned to {$390.00}. I have documentation that proves that I gave them advance notice of 30 days and that the apartment manager acknowledged that notice in writing. I sent I.Q. Data International all the information five years ago, and they still refuse to remove this adverse information from my credit report, Moreover, I even offered to settle this debt on the assurance that they would remove the information off my credit report. But they have refused for over five years. Furthermore, the statute of limitation has run on this debt in Oklahoma and they are unable to collect it through the courts. I need help getting this debt off my credit report.

In 2018 we lived in an apartment complex, and were in our last month of the lease. During this time the unit was flooded by a leak from another unit, and cause damage to our unit including all of our furniture. It was also during this time that there was a change in management companies. We attempted to explain the situation to the new management company, but they refused to accept anything less than us paying for the damage. We refused, and it was turned over to a collection agency. I again disputed the debt with the collection agency, but they refused to listen. At the time they were given pictures, and documents as proof of the damage, but still refused to accept nothing less than us paying for damages to the unit. We lived for several month with a large hole in our bathroom wall due to this issue. We do not believe this debt is owed by us, and believe false information was used to create the debt.

I stated I what I could pay however she would not set anything up for me. She was unclear and would not answer my questions on what would happen to my account. I asked to make a payment and while I was walking to my wallet she laughed at me and was very rude/unprofessional. I called back and talked to a XXXX at XXXX he did not ask for my name or social security number and provided me with my account number over the phone. I am concerned about information released and the fact that the company refuses to assist their customers. XXXX did not even attempt to help me.

I have been trying to arrive at a resolution with this company about this debt I have with them. They are a collection agency collecting for an apartment company that I highly disagree with the exaggerated dollar amount they are inflating and claim is rightfully owed. This is one of the more difficult problems I have faced as these companies inflate the debt with bogus charges and have no oversight or supervision from regulatory agencies so a small debt can turn exponentially large without merit, but also without recourse to fight it. Therefore I have been trying to negotiate a settlement with this company but there refusal to cooperate or provide me with a reasonable way out is extremely discouraging, unfair and abusive. Therefore I am imploring the CFPB to investigate the validity of these bogus inflated charges against me and as a whole audit the aggressive collection tactics deployed by IQ Data.

In IQ Data International response to The illinios Attorney General they clearly state I was not notified till XX/XX/2023 and previous letters they say they sent was sent back and I was not given any notification and the opportunity to resolve this before they put this on my credit report XX/XX/2023.

I requested documentation asking them to show me where I signed a contract with them ( I.Q. Data International , Inc ) and I asked them for proof that they are legally authorized to collect in the state of Georgia and balance breakdown of ALL charges. Theyve violated my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( g ) Section 809 ( b ). I was also violated because under U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 ( a ) states I reserve the privacy and I asked for them to remove this from my credit since I didnt give them written consent to furnish this account, under U.S.C . 1681 Section 604 ( a ), this is my right and Ive been violated by this company. This company is also violating me because they arent even licensed to collect debt in the state of Georgia. I didnt get any of the information I requested from this company to show prove that they arent violating my consumer rights.

An account that does not belong to me appears on my credit report, I have asked them to prove that the debt belongs to me and they have not answered me, I have disputed with the CRA agencies but they only indicate that the debt is verified ; I have called IQ DATA to tell them that they are making a mistake, but they have ignored it. In my last communication, they only asked me for the amount that I was willing to pay to solve this, I have informed them that they are confusing the person and continue to insist that we must reach an economic settlement. I have asked them for proof that the debt is mine and they have never provided it to me. When I call them and give them my information, they refer me to one person or another because it is not easy for them to locate the alleged debt until they contact XXXX XXXX XXXX and he tells me that the only way to solve this is by coming to a payment amount.

I received a letter that I owed over XXXX XXXXXXXX to an apartment that " didnt receive '' our break lease fee. They charged us rent until the end of our lease despite ample notice and not cashing our break lease fee. They never called or sent a letter to our forwarding address of any bill owing. After they sent us to collections I still have not received any paperwork of what is exactly charged from the apartment. I was told if I didn't apply for a loan through XXXX they wouldn't allow me to setup a payment plan and they would damage my credit by reporting me to the credit agency. I tried to setup a payment for the XXXX of the next month only a few days to a week away and they demanded immediate payment or they wouldn't work with me. Again I felt threatened and I still don't knew exactly what I owe from the apartment I believe fraudulently didn't cash my check so they could collect more.

The debt is for an apartment. The apartment company never notified us that we owed money, so I asked the debt collector why I owed. The woman told me per HIPAA laws I had to pay to have the carpet replaced, which is clearly false. This was after I asked them for an itemized detail of the debt owed which they refused. I asked for their address to send proof I dont owe money, two agents refused to provide their mailing information. All I wanted was a chance to show that I did not owe what they were claiming, because I have documentation that proves I do not owe money. One agent said if youre poor and dont have money just say that and called me a liar when I said that I didnt owe the money. The person then hung up on me. Ive talked to multiple agents from this company and they have all been verbally abusive. In addition to this, I have asked that they dont call me yet they continue to do so.

I received a call from the debt collector ( IQ Data ) on XX/XX/23. They advised I owed {$370.00} for the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX apartment complex. I informed them the debt amount was false and the bill in question was paid for nearly a year prior. I was informed by the apartment I owed {$31.00} at move out and paid that amount via check. I even had further communication with the apartment complex where they in writing told me I owed nothing. I also reached out to the apartment complex after receiving the call from the debt collector and the apartment complex told me in writing it was a mistake and I did not owe the money. The debt collector asked that I send the proof to them via email and they'd take care of it. I have since sent follow up emails and called them to see if the items were received and they either don't respond or tell me the person who could tell me isn't available.

This debt collection company is trying to collect debt that is not owed to them. They apparently bought debt from an apartment complex that I use to live in. I have spoken with them several times and told them that the {$5800.00}. Is not the amount of the debt owed! This amount is totally wrong! I left the apartment in XX/XX/2022. They are claiming in XXXX of 2022that debt was owed. I turned in my notice to evacuate the apartment in XXXX of 2022 more than 60 days before I moved out. Matter of fact another tenant moved in to my apartment in XXXX the same month I moved out! So how can I owe them additional rent? They are committing fraud and abuse! They have put this on my credit report and bringing my score down. Also making it hard for me to rent another apartment. I have called them about this several times and contacted the credit bureaus about it. But to nothing is being done.

During the shelter in place when covid-19 first hit I was not able to work for two months. I was not able to pay my rent for two months because of this. I tried paying the landlord back but could not afford the additional repayment amount and the rent. So I had to move. They submitted the remaining balance to a collections company named IQ Data International with a balance of around 4k. I started paying them 300 a month for a little over a year now. Two months ago I contracted XXXX and was off work without pay for two weeks. I still owe them 2k. They they told me to use my income tax return to pay them back. I have taken a reduction in hours at work due to Covid and I cant make that payment right now. I need more time. But they are threatening legal action, wage garnishment and make me pay for their legal fees. Im barely hanging on now. I want to pay them I just need more time.

I called the agency, asked for my account to be unlocked then spoke to them to see if a negotiated amount to resolve the account is an option. I was given an amount and stated I needed to checkmy finances and will call back or log into the account and resolve the matter. They were pushy and adimate they would stay on hold while I checked my bank. I explaned this is not a 30 second decision and I need to look over other bills before I make my decision and I would still like my account to be unlocked. They still were very pushy and I ended the call. ( XX/XX/2023 ) I attempted to log in to my account, it was still locked. I received a phone call from the agency wanting to review the offer, I stated my account is locked and I would like it unlocked. I was told no to unlocking the account. I ended the call.

Some collection agency named IQ Data International is reporting that I have a {$5400.00} collection account on my credit report for some kind of debt in the past. You can hardly get in contact with this collection agency, but when I have, I have expressed my doubt that I have any outstanding debts of that size. Therefore, I have repeatedly requested that IQ Data International send me a complete breakdown of the {$5400.00} they claim I owe from the creditor that they represent, along with an itemized detail of the charges that constitute the supposed {$5400.00} debt. But unfortunately, my requests for information to verify this debt have gone ignored for months. This collection agency refuses to verify this debt, but continues to report it on my credit report despite my objections. This puts this collection agency in direct defiance of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

XXXX : IQ Data International harassed my mother in law for my information XXXX : I contacted IQ Data International and the collector lied and said if I put a card on file it would buy me time to make the payment. I was never provided written information regarding this debt and was never informed about a dispute process. I did inform the agent I was unemployed at the time but was starting a new job in 2 weeks. XXXX : Called to set up payment for a week later than previous discussed and was told I could not due that after being told I could set up a different payment arrangement with my husband. Asked to cancel the payment and was denied. Asked to speak to the manager. XXXX, the manager, threatened to call my husbands employer and garnish all his wages. He used foul and threaten language when I attempted to schedule a full payment. Called me incompetent and hung up on me.

I recently noticed a false report to my credit file. After requesting my credit file, I noticed a negative inaccurate report on my credit file. The report states that I owe {$5800.00} to I.Q Data international Inc. located in XXXX Washington. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a Debit Validation Letter to I.Q Data International Inc. and two other companies on my credit file. The other two companies have since then responded with a decision. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I.Q Data International Inc has not responded to my request. Furthermore, the amount of debt reported has since then increased from {$5800.00} to {$5900.00}. Enclosed are copies of receipt indicating the date I sent the letter demanding validation of debt and proof that the company received my request. Meanwhile the report is currently affecting my credit report. By the way this is the only negative report on my credit file.

I was contacted today XX/XX/XXXX by a representative from IQ Data identifying as a dept collector. Collecting for a supposedly past due bill at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, WA which I lived at and moved out of in XXXX! I find this to be very suspicious because I have never received any bill stating I owed anything to XXXX XXXX or been contacted by anyone until today XX/XX/XXXX by IQ Data. They threatened me multiple times about my credit if I hung up, even after I told them several times I was busy watching my son play lacrosse in a tournament. While they wouldnt provide any documentation of the dept until I was about to hang up. See attached document. I have contacted management at XXXX XXXX to validate if this is real on XX/XX/XXXX via email and voicemail but have not heard back as of yet. Please let me know if you need any additional details. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

In XX/XX/XXXX, this collection agency proceeded to try to collect funds that were NOT owed and while the litigation of the case was in process. This has been an ongoing legal issue with original creditor since XXXX. The collection agency failed to provide validation the debt all while knowing this account was going through the litigation process. The counsel for the Apartment complex has been willing to work with my attorneys to resolve this matter and they have agreed to settle this issue. I can not share all of the allegations and filings but I can share the response from their clients general counsel that proves this collection agency is in violation. This collection agency had enough proof to remove this collection while my attorney worked with their clients attorney and refused. They have damaged my credit for over a year and legal proceedings will begin.

On XX/XX/XXXX i received my receipt for paying off my debt from IQ Data systems. Since then i have repeatedly been harassed by the companies employees. They continue to contact me without investigating on their side where my money went, I have asked every single person that has called me to please get with their management to help them find the payment and all they do is continue to call me and harass me via phone with an entire new person on the line and all the employees claim that I end the call but they are the ones ending the call because i refuse to pay them a debt that has already been paid. This has been going on since XXXX and to be completely honest prior to paying the debt the employees yelled and talked in a very aggressive manner when i asked them for more time to pay. I would like to please have them stop calling me and harassing me please.

IQ Data International contacted myself and my son who was on a lease of an apartment we rented together. The debt collector threatened to debit the money from my sons account without authorization and threatened to report the debt to the credit reporting agencies. When I explained the debt had been paid through XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX that I purchased for the rental property they continued to contact me and my son to collect the debt. I called and requested they send me an email so that I can provide proof of the payment. When I spoke to the rental company I originally had the debt with they confirmed the debt was paid and was not sent to collections. The debt collector refused to provide me with a name of operator, authorization and proof they currently owned the debt. I explained the debt was paid, they were not allowed to contact me anymore yet they continue.

Iq data international says I owe for XXXXXXXX XXXX apartments, I have never leased from XXXXXXXX XXXX apartments and told them that, the company I leased from no longer is in business and they would not remove snakes from property and my wife was terrified and caused her issues and we had to move, they refused to help in anyway and were responsible for pest removal. We moved and my rent was paid to date when we did. They broke contract by not removing snakes from my front door, the only way out and my wife suffered from this. This was on my report for seven years and I never contacted them but they changed amounts on my report to make it look like I was doing something, now they have put this back on my credit report and I have never spoke with them in over 7 years. They are falsifying information to try and get me to pay something I'm not going to pay.

Everytime I called about payment of a debt that was outsourced to them they were rude, they practice illegal/abuse acts and tactics to attempt to collect debts, so we paid the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX directly. After paying the creditor we were told by reps from this company that they would not remove. The creditor already assured us that this agency is a 3rd party and they are contracted by the creditor. The creditor informed us that it would be removed. I spoke to 3 reps all who refused to transfer me to a supervisor and were speaking to me in condescending manners/tones also all stating that it would not be removed. I informed each rep that I would contact the CFPB and each time I was responded to with a laugh. Also, I spoke to the creditor who informed me that she spoke to this company directly AGAIN and told them to remove it from our reports.

It clearly demonstrates that information appearing on my credit report is inaccurate and is damaging my character, credibility, or ability to obtain credit. I've learned that I can seek Injunctive Relief through the courts.This is a false and misleading tactic used by the creditor and is it illegal.Failed to use reasonable care in the course of business and failed to use even minimal procedures to ensure that I was not harmed.Communicated and are continuing to communicate incorrect and defamatory information to third parties including but not limited to : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX.As a result of these blatantly reckless, wanton, and intentional acts, I have suffered and continue to suffer general and specific damages. I am also very upset at your firm 's intentional infliction of emotional distress and at the other diminishes of the quality of my life.

This is a HIPAA Violation.This account has been going on for about two years. On XXXX they called threating me as i was going to jail and getting sued. I have no knowledge of this account and amount because it was paid. I also know that the apartment complex sold my information to this company and i never owed this much they charged interest every day and i do not know why. Two years ago spoke with complex they explained they did not have anything for me because this was due to HArvey ( a storm ) and everything was charged off. They then called a family member on XXXX and provided all information. This account has been closed and was no longer reporting under the original company. They then said just for that they will place it back on my credit and it is showing up on my reports. This is illegal and they shared my personal information and address.

The debt is for " repairs '' that were made to a property when I moved out of the apartment. I was overcharged for painting when as tenant over 3 years, painting is considered " wear and tear '' but charged costly for painting. Also left the apartment early and requested repairs. Repairs did not take place but after and the cost for replacing a curtain was for a small window was over {$100.00}. Complained to the leasing office to no avail. Stood my ground to not pay for ridiculous cost of the damages. Now the company I.Q. Data International , Inc. located in XXXX, WA XXXX wants to collect {$300.00} for a {$100.00} cost and repairs to the apartment. I gave them a call looking to settle at 40 % of the cost but the owner yelled, talked over me and tried to intimidate me over lawyer fees and cost. Please help im looking to pay but this is ridiculous.

I spoke with a man named XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX about a debt I have not heard of for XXXX XXXX years. I asked him to send me an itemized list of the charges and that I wanted to dispute it since I was told by the apartment complex that the debt was cleared. He got very aggressive and refused to send any documents to me until I agreed to pay the debt. I let him know that I was not comfortable agreeing to anything until I have proof something is owed and he made threats about this hurting my credit and continued to refuse to send me the list I requested unless I did what he asked. I disputed the charge in 2020 and never heard back from XXXX XXXX XXXX after I spoke with the apartment complex. This is poor business practice and my research and calls to law offices said that they are not allowed to without important documentation once requested.

I called to settle a debt in the amount of {$570.00}. I asked if I paid the debt, if the negative remarks could be removed. He said they would absolutely remove the negative marks once I paid the debt in full. I then asked for that in writing which he refused. I then asked for a statement of my debt for verification. He also refused. When I expressed reluctance to pay him money without a financial statement of my debt, the debt collector threatened that if I did not pay immediately that his " one time offer " to delete it off my credit was off the table. He states " once you hang up the phone I can't help you because this one time offer is only good on the first communication, after that it is void " This quite honestly seems like an unfair practice to collect a debt. I have rights to receive a written statement of my debt which he refused

On XX/XX/2021 sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things in my credit report. To this day over about 2 months later, I have yet to receive a response. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives me a reason to immediately remove these items from my credit report. It's been about 2 months now so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file litigation due to the stress that was caused to me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and XXXX have got into the hands of the wrong person. I AM NOT USING A CREDIT REPAIR COMPANY, I AM REPORTING THIS VIOLATION ON MY OWN BEHALF. I'VE ATTACHED MY LETTER, AND A UTILITY BILL FOR FURTHER VERIFICATION.

A company named I.Q. Data International , Inc. is telling me that there is interest being charged on my account. They have added nearly XXXX dollars to a debt of XXXX. On XX/XX/2021 at around XXXX XXXX I asked I.Q. Data International , Inc. why I was being charged interest that I had not agreed to. They told me that the " state '' is mandating them to charge interest. I asked them what state was mandating them to charge me interest, they would not name an actual state. They would only say " the state in which the debt was accrued ''. I asked them which state the debt was accrued in, and they refuse to tell me what state. My concern is that I am being lied to about a state mandating interest be paid. I am also wishing to find out which state is mandating it so I can work with that state to learn more of their policies and options.

IQ SENT the reminder as a due to my credit report and upon disputing and raising it on my CFPB it was pulled off. Now in retaliation they sent a new letter for XXXX $ ( ref number XXXX ) without any supporting documentation from original creditor showing what the charges are for. Since IQ has all my information they are going the route of intimidation by sending debt collection notices for a debt not owed. IQ never sent me the receipt for the XXXX $ I made even after repeated attempts asking for the receipt and I never got a XXXX dollar statement from IQ for the reference letter XXXX. They are causing me extreme stress with these false debt collection notices.

Per law, you can't just add anything to a person 's credit report and have not contacted them via mail verifying the debt. Calling and leaving no messages but demanding and threatening I verify myself when I answer my phone is ILLEGAL.

I've sent multiple letters to this agency about this not being my account. After being advised by identitytheft.gov, I've completed and sent a fraud affidavit via certified mail. I can see they received it, but nothing has changed. See supporting documents. Even the USPS tracking. My official complaint is against IQ INTERNATION DATA. My information was used to obtain an apartment, cell phone, and an auto loan with my ex-partner. I am a victim of identity theft and have put this off for too long. I've completed the proper steps, 1. notify creditors 2. police report 3. informed the state of Texas. The individual I've suspected for this theft is now deceased, and the police department said to contact the federal trade commission to seek relief. These companies disregard laws and dont care whos credit or lives they impact.

I have been disputing this account with the credit bureaus for sometime now. Each time they would say that IQ Data International would verify the debt. So I took it upon myself to ask IQ Data International for validation of the debt. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. Well, it has been more than 30 days and I still have not received anything proving the debt is mine. They received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Here is the tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't respond it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. Silence is being in agreeance. I am sure there is a law that proves it.

This company runs an apartment complex called XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Oklahoma. In XX/XX/2021, we completed our month-to-month lease with the proper 30 notice. We left because the apartment had become uninhabitable. There was no air conditioning when it was over 94 degrees outside. Roaches, vermin, wasps, raw sewage leaks, and an abandoned apartment below us was being used by homeless vagrants regularly. Gunshots were fired every night. We gave them a 30-day notice even though we didn't have to due to the living conditions. In any other state, they would be considered a XXXX. They now put a collection account on my credit without properly informing me of my right to dispute this claim. I have plenty of video and picture evidence to show they are in fact a XXXX and were making us live in unsafe conditions.

Recently ( XXXX ) spoke with XXXX at IQ data international regarding a debt to a property. Tried to start making some type of payments towards balance. Representative was harassing me about making a payment right then and there as well as telling background personal on my end to give me money to make payments. Tried calling again today ( XXXX XXXX ) spoke with him again. He was asking what my paydays were and why I picked a specific date to make a payment. He insinuated I was trying to lease which I why called. He also called me from a spam risk number telling me to make a payment which he gave me a week to think on this payment. Also told him I had a roommate so he states the balance is on both our credits. He states either party can make a payment in order to be removed which I do not think is fair

The representative became very nasty and yelled that the only option I had was to pay the debt on full. I continued to advise her that the debt was not correct only for the representative continued to talk over me and say that she didnt have to provide me with any information about the debt besides the amount I owed I called again on XX/XX/XXXX. I again was yelled and and demanded to pay the owed amount I begged for assistance only to be told that they had talked to me about it before. Also while I was waiting on hold the representative called me on a in state ( VA ) number. She states that the system hung up on me when it had not.

On XX/XX/2020 I reviewed my credit profile again as IQ Data International had not responded and a 2nd validation request for the account was sent out on XX/XX/2020. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/2020 and the account was still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to legally attempt to collect on this account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove the account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that the account belongs to me and that all information is correct.

There are too many instances to report about this slumlord that owns XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, WV. Basically, we lived here 7 years. In those 7 years, we always paid our rent early, except one time in 7 years we were late a few weeks. Long story short .... The office manager gave us a fictitious payment/debt owed ledger. We were appalled to say the least! We sent the office manager a large and fat manilla envelope with copies of our monthly rental payments. We even went to court over this. The judge threw it out of court. We gave our moving notice on XX/XX/2022 and moved out completely on XX/XX/2022. We owe nothing, but XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX turned a fictitious ledger into a debt collector, and it has affected both our credit histories. We owe absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have disputed both accounts multiple times as an erroneous and duplicative but the company has refused to take appropriate action to rectify the matter. This issue has caused undue hardship for me and my family and an inability to secure housing after a recent major catastrophic event ( XXXX XXXX ). The company retained my deposit upon agreement of termination of the lease and later added duplicative charges for the amount that was already paid to my credit file. The leasing company admitted that there was a clerical error but they have refused to address this for years. At this point, I am going to advice of legal counsel for damages for the breach and potentially punitive damages for their intentional and gross misconduct.

I called the phone number provided many times over the years as this has been haunting my credit score, and even the apartments listed on my credit report as IQ international data, seem to have no idea why I have this negative balance on my credit file as they do not see anything on their end.

IQ Data called and threatened to seize my Social Security XXXX and sought my Veteran benefits in order to collect on a debt which I dispute. They also refused to send me paperwork to document this debt when I asked for it in order to review by an attorney and myself as well as making sure this not some scam call. No account number was given. They said they would initiate state mechanisms to collect their disputed funds. I was intimidated into offering up my limited financial reserves in order to protect my desperately needed SSDI to keep a roof over my head. I am retired, have health issues ( hence the XXXX ) and have limited human contact. Once she found out I was retired and on XXXX she really turned up the heat accosting me.

It is a good thing that I kept records, or I would have to pay this whole thing twice! Debt collections needs to be held accountable for their misleading correspondence. To many people end up falling into this debt trap. It is ridiculous that I have to prove what I have paid, when at least, the Original Creditor knew and has record of my payments. The collections agency should check beforehand.

I was originally contacted by IQ about 18 months ago and was treated with total disrespect. I requested proof of the debt owed to the XXXX apartments and after several minutes of harassment from IQ I was told that if I provide full payment they would in turn furnish requested proof. I declined this irrational offer and explained that any further communication shall include proof of this debt. I have not received proof as of today. I and recently my sister have been receiving increasingly abusive phone calls demanding payment and threatening legal action. I have transcripts of voicemails The account is reported on credit file as Account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements I have only disputed this with the company not the credit bureaus.

XXXX XXXX contacted me without disclosing their intention of the call, left no voicemail. I called back and communicated with a representative about the alleged debt and stated that I do not owe the debt. The agent asked for information about the nature of my relationship with alleged debt original holder, the agent did not provide notification or inform me of my rights, that is required by law. I requested documentation and verification of the alleged debt, the agent did not provide any information about the debt other than the amount and original holder when I requested specific factual details about the alleged debt. Several days later I received a notification about my credit report having a new collections account from the collections agency XXXX XXXX.

On XX/XX/2021 I was reviewing my credit report and noticed that there had been a collection reported on my credit report in error. IQ Data International XXXX in the amount of {$310.00} Added a derogatory mark on my Credit report per XXXX. Upon further research, this account was transferred/sold and I am no longer responsible for this account. Debtor 's creditor did not verify this collection. Also there was NO written form of communication, contract or signature for this accused debt AT ALL. A bill without a written signature does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say that it is mine. According to FCRA, IQ Data International has violated my rights as a consumer and I am requesting legal action to remove/delete this account immediately.

IQ Data is reporting a debt on my credit file that I do not owe. I recently took a look at my credit file and noticed this debt was reporting but this is just so frustrating. I used to live in XXXX XXXX. They told me that my lease was up and my rent would go up to stay and I had to either move out or renew my lease. I decided it was best for me to leave as their new negotiations were no suitable. So I moved out by the date that they had advised. However, now they are saying that my lease was not up and I moved out before the date set?? I got two very contradictory statements and they never mentioned my lease not being up before I had moved out! I was told my lease was up otherwise I would not have moved!! This is not my error and this needs to be removed.

Theres an apartment complex that I did not lease, XXXX XXXX, that is in collections. I was in a domestic violent home and left to Nevada XX/XX/XXXX. I have housing voucher papers to prove so. Apartment complex debt was opened XX/XX/XXXX. I believe it may have been my old partner that stole my identity but I am without proof. The complex no longer exists and is not in business but the collection agency is charging interest on the debt. The ordinal debt states {$3600.00}. The new total is at {$4800.00}. I was not sent a lease when asking to verify this debt. They have been sued once before by XXXX XXXX for falsely applying interest in his case and the defendant won against plaintiff IQ Data International Inc. Who is the same collector on my credit.

After waiting and no response from IQ Data International. I sent a certified letter. After a couple of weeks, IQ Data International returned my certified letter unopened as a certified letter ( attached ). This item has been on my report for over one year and I have been unsuccessful in getting this issue resolved. The three credit bureaus reporting agencies continues to report even after my dispute of not having the ability of verifying the debt. This defaming information is unverifiable.

Once I got to the phone, I attempted to inform the representative that I would send a written response to the letter I received in the mail within the 30 day response period. The representative then began to get hostile, unprofessional, abusive, and back me into a corner to force me to accept responsibility for a debt that is an inaccurate reporting. I informed her that I would be disputing the account in a written response but she attacked me in a manner that was extremely disgraceful. I do not appreciate being spoken to in a condescending manner or harassed after I repeatedly asked her to stop. I would like to have no further contact with this company.

I sent another letter and received a letter saying that they've already responded. But I have yet to receive anything that has my signature on it to let me know that this account is mine. I have disputed this account numerous times and it keeps coming back saying that it is accurate. If it is accurate all I'm asking for is proof. I've called XXXX as well and explained my situation and they advised that they just contact the debt collector and it is up to them whether the collection gets removed or not.

I rented from an apartment complex called XXXX XXXX ran by XXXX XXXX XXXX located in California. I was a tenant for 2 years. Upon my move out the property XXXX went through my apartment and charged me for things that were clearly wear and tear items, like flooring a bathroom, mirror that had faded in some parts, a XXXX cleaning fee and other dubious /suspect charges. She told me that if I didnt pay it they would sue me ruin my credit and other harsh rhetoric. It was soon after this I started receiving calls from IQ data who posted this garbage on my credit report even though I disputed this garbage from this property XXXX. They sent me a boxed check letter which she filled out essentially saying XXXX owed this.

Paragraph 4d states that the landlord has 21 days from the day tenant vacates the property to provide an itemized accounting of money owed to the landlord.

I received a call in XXXX of 2023 From a company out of Washington state called IQ Data International trying to confirm my identity. When I refused to confirm my identity the guy on the phone made an open ended threat and hung up on me. A few weeks later I receive another phone call from woman this time. I confirm my identity and she requests my banking info. When I refuse she says they are going ro ruin my financial future u less I pay them now. I hang up and they then proceed to call me 6 times in a row. I have no debt with original company. They broke the contract. IQ data is trying to collect XXXX from me but I have emails from original debtor for XXXX dollars. This is a very shady and immoral company.

Dear Sir or Madam, IQ Data International is attempting to collect an alleged debt that they claim is owed to my previous landlord. I disputed this alleged debt and provided documentations demonstrating the amounts alleged owed by m y previous landlord for several months of rent they alleged was not paid was in fact paid and I provided receipts to IQ Data International, requested that they investigate the matter as I was disputing the debt, but they failed to respond to my debt verification requests or provide the requested documents pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 USC 1692g. They failed to do either, but instead reported this inaccurate invalid debt to the credit reporting agency.

They are saying I owe {$1800.00}, and the original responsibility of the debt is split between 3 people but the collection agency would not allow me to split the payment. They also continuously call during work hours when we have told them several times not to do that. If they dont contact me personally, they will contact my significant other and harass her with calls. They were repeatedly harassing me about my stimulus money, which I never received. I asked for a debt validation letter and they refused to give me one. I still have not received it. When I asked for it, I was treated very rudely on the phone and they quickly hung up. They absolutely refused to reduce the balance or make a payment plan.

I have a collection account with IQ data international. It has come to my attention that this company has been communicating with my daughter about my account without my permission. They violated my privacy laws and negotiated terms with a third party without my knowledge. I have never given them permission to divulge my personal information to a third party let alone discuss the terms of which. This company also took it upon themselves to unlawfully apply interest to a tenant bond account that did not have a judgement placed prior. These people spoke about my account with a person that had no jurisdiction to do so. This is horrible and I hate to make this public but this had to be said.

I dispute this charge because I do not recognize this debt and I do not owe any money to this creditor. I monitor my report monthly and I have become a responsible consumer and this is an unfamiliar debt to me. If it were indeed valid it would have been paid. Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies. If you have already reported it, please notify the credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and/or delete the trade line from my credit report. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the FDPCA and their Fair Credit Reporting Act.

On XX/XX/21, I placed a phone call to IQ Data International Inc to discuss the information reported on my credit report. I requested to have a bill mailed to me since I have never received any type of written documentation from this company. XXXX, the manager, informed me I owed more than the amount listed on my credit report, to which I again requested something in writing. I stated I want something in writing so I can MAIL my payment and he still refused and stated that I have to make a payment over the phone. He was very rude and made it very clear he was not going to make it easy to pay off this debt. I requested all communication be through Mail.

Received call from IQ Data International about a debt I had no knowledge of, representative was very aggressive toward collecting it. I informed him I had no knowledge and asked for verification, which he became more aggressive and abusive. I received a very vague statement of the debt after sending a letter for verification, the company used the term rental reimbursement multiple times each with different amounts listed. Sent second letter for clarification about the vagueness of the verification, which went unanswered. They have placed this on all my credit bureaus and increase the amount monthly of what I owe. But have never verified this debt.

Rep said someone answered and confirmed a call on XX/XX/XXXX I told them that's not true no one has access to my phone and there's no records of a call. The rep then implied I was lying and refused to acknowledge my request to have them stop calling.

IQ data collections submitted my information to the credit bureaus, stating that I have a debt they are trying to collect. They are looking to collect {$5500.00} from me and someone else on a joint account for our townhome that we were staying in. They did not send written documents stating the nature of the debt. I also was notified from the original landlord, that we had 2 days to move out, or to pay the remaining balance for the townhome. I am confused as to why I was brought into collections by XXXX XXXX XXXX a year later, and why I was never notified before hand about said debt. Thank you! P.S.

The company attempting to collect the debt and sending me a fraud packet goes by the name of IQ Data International.

Also the amount they claim is wayy off that we got in our letter. Plus I was told this was a company owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX which I know how debt collection works and I know thats not the case.

I requested a validation of debt several times and was told, no, the company would not be sending me any validation. I requested the document be sent through certified mail, which he refused to do. I also requested the documents be sent through regular mail, which he also refused to do. He used very aggressive scare tactics, telling me that I would be evicted and homeless later on in life unless I paid the collection in FULL. I believe this is in violation of FCRA.

I moved out of my apartment about 6 months into a 12 month lease. The landlord and I agreed they would keep the security deposit and I would move out voluntarily in 7 days. A week later I gave the building manager the keys and became homeless. I recently saw a collection account on my credit report for {$9600.00} from IQ Data showing the apartment building as the creditor. I called IQ Data and asked them to email me documentation about the amount. They offered to send it US mail but refused to email it to me. I am homeless and do not have a mailing address because I can not find a new apartment with their collection on my credit.

I broke a lease with XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX a few months before the end of my lease. I was never notified of additional balance due after I vacated the apartment even though I did provide forwarding information. I figured that they used deposit to cover it and were able to rent my apartment immediately. The first time I learned about a balance due was when it appeared on my credit report. Had I been given notice I would have been able to make payment arrangements. However, the balance due on this collection account that was illegally placed on my credit report with no notice is preventing me from being able to obtain housing.

IQ DATA misled the XXXX XXXX courts by saying I owed amount that were not correct. In fact they never served me papers. They submitted fraudulent documents like contractor supply lists and one of them is dated 2013, and i was in Texas at that time, and I can prove this. This, in my opinion is a retaliation case due to the fact that it was previously dismissed, and I have documentation of this. This company is causing my family severe hardship and has caused us to become homeless. Also, this was a JUDGEMENT, not a COLLECTION.

Not only did I Q Data re-age this account by updating the " date of last activity '' to reflect the date of XX/XX/2022, they also added fees in excess of over {$3000.00}. This company is unethical, unprofessional, and harassing, this causes stress. Due to this inaccuracy, my credit scores have been negatively impacted.

It is my understanding that you will recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. Please remove any information that the creditor can not verify. I understand that under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681a ( D ) ( 2 ) ( B ), where as my consumer report doesnt include any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer. Therefore my character, credit worthiness and reputation are in question which goes against the law previously stated.

Received a credit monitoring alert stating that a new collection was added to my credit reports. Disputed the collection and it was verified by the collection company as accurate. In addition the balance goes up {$10.00} to {$13.00} every other week per the credit monitoring service. Prior to this debt being placed on my credit report I did not receive any notice about the debt. After disputing this debt with the collection agency I still have not received sufficient documentation evidencing this debt as mine. I have not received the contract along with any information identifying this debt as mine.

I cosigned for a lease on XXXX and asked that my name be removed via a phone conversation in XXXX. I had no knowledge the lease was still in my name as all communications from them stopped. In XX/XX/XXXX a collection debt for {$15000.00} showed up on my credit. When I called they advised me it was for the lease I cosigned. I asked for proof that I signed a new lease in XXXX and they have not been able to provide it and is charging me {$2.00} in daily interest. They sent me a letter statement of the balance owed but no proof of the lease with my email that the leasing company had on file for me.

We called IQ Data on XX/XX/2022 to dispute the collection of {$920.00} and we ask for a signed original document and they refused to send us one saying that they had already sent one which my husband and I disputed and then they started being verbally abusive and threatening. We tried to explain to them that this was not our debt and they did not want to hear this and again became verbally abusive and threatening. We also noticed that the amount of the debt they claimed we owed continued to increase every 6 days going from {$920.00} to well over {$1000.00}. Thank you for your help with this matter.

IQ data contacted my mother, they never sent any mail, did not attempt to contact me directly, and did not tell my mother that the call was due to a collection. Therefore I was never notified in any form as to me owing a dept, my options to dispute it or anything pertaining to verifying the debt. The only contact I had was when I reached out to them with no knowledge of who I was calling and what the matter was about and have not received anything since pertaining to this said collection. They now will not comply with my request and terminate all phone calls I make in attempts to handle the matter.

I overpaid XXXX XXXX apartments and they ended up refunding me. They stated I owe them nothing, as I was overpaid when I moved out. XXXX XXXX XXXX were also paid in full. The apartment was in perfect condition upon move out and the dates listed on the form I was sent are not even in line with when I lived there.

IQ Data response was all inaccurate. There was no statement made by me and company has failed to abide by the law. I have communicated with this company with every verification. They are acting against my fair credit reporting acts and at this point acting against all laws and my rights. This company needs to be investigated. Their response is fraudulent/lies like their claim. They refuse to investigate and just want funds that's not owed to them. They claimed to be a tenant debt but have no court judgment. This company is using their ability to their advantage illegally

I received a partial security deposit back as they used part for cleaning. I have tried sending debt validation to IQ Data International , Inc and gotten all letters returned to me.

I have disputed this debt with IQ Data Several times, and I've received no response at all, their first violation of the FCRA. They have continued to report the disputed debt, their second violation of the FCRA. I have even filed a XXXX complaint against them to seer f I could get them to respond, they did not. They have refused to validate a debt at a consumers request, a violation of the FDCPA. They have illegally assessed interest, penalties and fees to the account, clearly evident on my credit. They are breaking the law and it is destroying my reputation!

International Data is a debt collector for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which has increased alleged the amount owed with six percent daily interest for years without any contractual agreement with my signature from XXXX to XXXX. In violation of FDCPA 1692e ( 2 ), where the collector claims an amount more than actually owed ( allegedly due to interest, late charges or other fees, that are not authorized ).

This was for an old apartment that I actually paid on time EVERY month and had proof I always paid and gave proper notice as well as completed my lease term. The company that reported to them does not even manage the apartment complex anymore. I tried to explain to the reps at IQ Data INC and they became insultingly rude.

On XX/XX/2021 I reached out to IQ Data International and requested they provide documentation that proves I willingly entered into a contract with them and to display the signatures of both parties involved. This company did not do that. Nor did they cease collection activities and reporting as federal law states until the requested proof can be provided. This company is harassing me and as mentioned in my first letter, I would seek assistance from CFPB & State Attorney should they continue to do so.

The company misrepresented the outcome of the dispute stating that the dispute had resulted in the debt still being active and I paid in fear of my credit score dropping. However, when I went to check the results of the dispute, the case had actually been ruled in my favor days prior. IQ Data misrepresented my dispute for financial gain at my expense.

Never contacted by apartment regarding any debt, even though they had my contact info for cell phone and mailing address. Debt collector sent mail notifying me of debt to mailing address of a friend, not to my own residence. Debt in question is exorbitant, only existing damage to the unit was carpet replacement which was covered by my deposit. Timeline for the debt being viable is in question, as I haven't lived in that apartment in over 3 years.
