Complaint: This company failed to send me documents validating that i owe this debt. They informed me that they will be placing this on my credit report and damage my credit history. The company didnt give me proper notification to handle the debt. I get constant calls in which the phone hangs up when i pick up and say hello. I have sinced blocked the call because i was disciplined at my XXXX unit because they called during formation. I also checked my local secretary of state to see if this Company has a business license authorizating them to conduct business in the state of California and they dont. This company was hired by a slum management company to complete their dirty work.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: Good Morning, I contacted IQ Data International in XXXX this year in reference to a debt that does not belong to me. I requested debt validation and realized months letters that I never received any information that proved that the debt belongs to me. I have no contract with the company and again request proof of the debt in question in the form of a I sent another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation once again. I received a letter from IQ Data stating they do not have to validate the debt and will not send the information requested. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. This is not satisfactory as not only do I not the debt but there has no information satisfactorily sent to me proving that the debt is mine. I call in to question the validity of the debt considering that IQ Data was part of class action lawsuit for improper collection practices.

Debt was paid
Complaint: There is an entry on my XXXX credit report from IQ Data Systems. Upon investigation, I discovered that this collection account is for a remaining balance from a property management company ( XXXX ). I co-signed on a lease for my son 's apartment - when he moved out there was a balance due. I have paid this balance of {$1000.00} directly to XXXX. I have the receipt for this payment. This paid account should not have been sent to a collection agency ( IQ Data Systems ). I have contacted IQ Data regarding this inaccuracy and I have received no help on this matter. They maintain that this is still an outstanding balance with them.

Complaint: I attempted to speak to someone regarding the inaccurate and invalidated debt they were reporting to the credit bureau. The customer service representative threatened me by using obscene and profane language repeatedly when I tried to explain to them that someone at IQ data advised the landlord to type up a letter after I submitted my complaint and claimed to have mailed the demand letter to me when they never mailed any notice letter or any itemized list of deductions. The said that I was committing a crime and they would be filing a civil lawsuit to garnish my wages to collect the debt. The representative claimed that I would be arrested if I did not pay the debt I owed.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: I am writing this letter to file a formal complaint. I was contacted by a representative for this account. As I explained to the representative the case was dismissed in court. However, even though it was dismissed in court, without me owing a debt, I did legally live in the unit and paid the rent. I went to the bank, and did research on the check. I found out the cashiers check was never cashed. I had the check reissued, the representative explained that there was an amount owed for XXXX. I explained to the representative, I was not in the unit, and was not paying. A collection agency can not take over from a court of law, I sent in a vacate notice in XXXX. We were in court in XXXX. I am not paying for a month in which I was not there. I asked to speak to a supervisor and spoke to XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX informed me, it did not matter what the court ruled, and the company sent this account for collection. I explained to him I am not willing to pay when I was not there and I am not legally responsible. You can not overrule a judge, he told me to check my lease. I again stated what occurred in court, and explained that I would file a bk before I pay for something that I did n't live in. He told me keep the cashiers check, and keep my money. He then hung up. Since that call, I have continued to be harassed by him and XXXX XXXX threatning to sue me. I finally gave them the name of the BK attorney. I know it is illegal and a debt collection company can not override a judge

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: I.Q Data International collecting a disputed debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, has reporting an amount due as delinquent debt to the credit reporting agencies. The contested debt is basically for " pest remediation '' and the lease provides that such amounts are chargeable only based on the " negligence '' of the tenant. The disputed debt is therefore not a voluntary credit transaction under CA law. XXXX : XXXX case. Nonetheless, I offered to pay the full amount of the debt upon the offer of the IQ Date Intl agent that she would remove the tradeline. However, the agent said this offer was only available if paid within the next hour. I requested that the terms of this agreement be put in writing and then I would pay the debt so as to remove the tradeline. The agent refused to send a offer letter, or letter confirming the oral representations. She also failed to provide the mini miranda disclosure and said she only needed to make that disclosure on the first call with me earlier. The agent also acted in a rude and unprofessional manner and essentially hung on me.

The following day I sent them back a copy of my social card, a XXXX XXXX XXXX bill and a copy of my id in which they received it on XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is now XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I have not yet heard back from XXXX. As the Federal Credit Reporting law states- ( FCRA , 15 USC section 168 li : failure to investigate these accounts within a period of thirty days will result in a non verification which requires that the above accounts be immediately removed from my credit file. The lady that I spoke with was giving me the run around about an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX WA XXXX, which has nothing to do with the law. This address was reported to the Credit Bureau because they had to run my credit in order for me to stay here for the last six months. I have stated in my letter and on the envelope after XXXX XXXX I will no longer be residing there because my lease is up and due to this issue I will be homeless so all my mail is being forwarded to the post office. I have yet to receive anything from XXXX through the post office as of today and prior to today. Then I had asked to speak to the supervisor and she had hung up on me. Therefore, I am making a complainant and hoping that you can help me resolve this issue. Attached is my letter of the items that I want to be removed from my credit report immediately.
