Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: I received a debt collection letter from I.Q. Data international, Inc. for an apartment that I recently moved from. This came as a surprise because the manager at the apartment made no attempt to inform me of any of this. I immediately disputed the debt because the charges were outrageous and I left the apartment in a good clean condition. I have been speaking with a particular person named XXXX from the company and thought that they had started their investigation to validate any charges. I have been providing documents and papers to back up my dispute. On a prior phone conversation that took place around XX/XX/XXXX XXXX stated that in order to keep my account from being active in collection I needed to provide him with a card number. He also said that my card would NOT be charged if I called back by the XX/XX/XXXX to follow up on the dispute. I did call back on the XX/XX/XXXX to follow up and was still disputing the charges. dispute. I did call back on the XX/XX/XXXX to follow up and was still disputing the charges. Today on XXXX XXXX, 2017 I received a call from XXXX stating that I.Q. Data International , Inc. would be sending out the itemized list of charges they received from XXXX XXXX Management. He asked if I wanted to make a payment toward the debt and I said No. Multiple times. I stated that I was not going to pay this debt because the dispute was still ongoing and I did not believe the charges to be valid. ( The apartment lumped the fee together as " full paint and carpet {$890.00}. '' ) I was told to hold and was transferred to another person. This time a lady who treated me horribly and kept asking why I was n't paying my debt when I owed it. I informed her that it was being disputed and that I was not going to pay it when I did not believe the items being charged were valid. I also informed her that there were deposits that the apartment did not return to me or apply to the supposed debt, and for this reason I was still disputing. The lady kept saying that it was going to go on my credit if I didnt pay and again I told her the same thing. I will not authorize charges to my card because I dont believe the debt is valid. Without my authorization, {$710.00} was attempted to be pulled from my account. Thankfully my bank blocked the charge. Phone calls are recorded with collection companies and at no point in the conversation did I authorized them to charge my card. I specifically told them that I do not authorize them to charge it and they still attempted to do so.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: I contacted IQ Data International about my renter 's debt. While I tried to work out a payment plan, they were completely unreasonable with me, treated me like I was ignorant about how the system works, even tried to explain to me what a loan is. When I tried to propose making the payments I am able to make, they said that the amount was too small and that they would not report the payments or provide me with proof of payment. Since then, it was represented to me that a settlement might be acceptable, about one third of the original totally, but another representative informed me that this settlement would not actually clear the debt, simply remove my name from the list. The actual amount required to settle the debt is significantly higher.

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: FACTS : ( 1 ) On XX/XX/XXXX, I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, signed a one-year-lease- contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . Due to severe health issues ( evidence available ), I explained to the staff : XXXX XXXX XXXX, as a Corporation ; XXXX XXXX, Manager, XXXX XXXX, Assistant Manager, XXXX XXXX, office clerk, I had to leave for XXXX for a special XXXX treatment his physician brother had arranged form him. The therapy is called XXXX, XXXX XXXX- I am a XXXX XXXX person with XXXX and XXXX XXXX and many ailments. ( 2 ) I was assured that his apartment would immediately be put in the market and available for move in so that I would not have to pay not too much money to cover for the rest of the lease time. This is per article 11 of the lease contract ( 3 ) I have been deceived by all the staff and told that the apartment was in the market for rent. I left onXX/XX/XXXX, as I was to fly to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX office several times wondering about the delay as to why XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) had not called. I was informed that it took 21 days. ( 4 ) I had offered to pay the month of XX/XX/XXXX and following months until the apartment was rented ; however, they refused for they had a plan to defraud, abuse and use me thinking that I am XXXX and perhaps a XXXX XXXX, I would not challenge them for breaching their own contract. They had planned to remodel the apartment on my expense and made it available for move in only in XX/XX/XXXX. The apartment was rented on XX/XX/XXXX, or XX/XX/XXXX. They are demanding that I pay {$8200.00}. Now they are demanding {$9000.00} ( 5 ) The so-called XXXX never contacted me according to article 11 in the contract and waited until the end of the lease to contact me, which is against the lease agreement as evidence shows. A tenant informed me that the apartment was being renovated and refurbished. I thought that they will relief me since they started remodeling the apartment, which means it was not available for move in. ( 7 ) Company representative, XXXX XXXX, confessed in e-mail ( attached ) dated XX/XX/XXXX, that indeed they had the apartment renovated which means the apartment was off the market and used me to pay rent unfairly and unscrupulously. ( 8 ) All company employees have lied to, abused, and used me, as evidence of e-mail messages show. I believe they have discriminated against me for my XXXX and race. <P/>consider the following : ( 1 ) It is my contention that I owe the defendants no money at all and I should be compensated for the deposit and the last month rent ( 2 ) I should be relieved from this illegally assessed amount. ( 3 ) I request that the concept of discrimination against me for my XXXX and my XXXX XXXX background be thoroughly investigated.

Debt was paid
Complaint: This debt from I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC, was added to my credit report. The amount is XXXX which I do not owe from an apartment complex, XXXX XXXX. First off the apartment complex was aware we were moving. We had no central air during the summer, we were given the wrong apartment and various other issues they were in breach of the lease agreement. Management was aware and notice was given then they turned around and posted an eviction letter, they kept our deposit, and we moved.No one ever contacted me on any bill. The date is wrong wrong on this we lived there in XXXX this was reported in XXXX. Furthermore this apartment was rented out the next month. We are not liable for this debt and certainly not that amount. Interest is also collected this is a non interest collection. Who ever heard of collecting interest on a collection debt. This company was involved in a class action lawsuit for exactly what is going on here. I want this off of my credit report. Nothing has even been sent to me substantiating this debt. I have disputed this multiple times. with no results. This is my last resort before legal action.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: I was contacted by I.Q. Data International by telephone on XXXX XXXX, 2017 and informed they were pursuing collection for an amount due an apartment complex in XXXX, XXXX. I informed them that I did not live in XXXX and that the debt was not mine. Upon receipt of the initial letter from I.Q. Data, I provided them on XXXX XXXX, 2017, via certified letter with return receipt, multiple documents to include voter registration card, auto registration, auto insurance, utility bills, mobile phone bills, cable bills, IRS letter, letter from current landlord showing my lease start date and lease end date as well as a statement from the company responsible for moving me from XXXX XXXX, XXXX to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have asked the creditor for a signed copy of the lease with the apartment complex in XXXX as well as any tenant information but as of this date, they refuse to provide me with that documentation. They have provided me with a statement with my name and an address is XXXX, XXXX but as I have previously stated, I have not lived in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, again via letter sent by certified mail, return receipt, requested a copy of any leases, tenant applications but to date, creditor has ignored my request. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received notification from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, that I.Q. Data International has placed the item on my credit reports. I have been attempting to work with them to resolve this but my attempts have been ignored. I feel that my rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act have been violated and I am asking for your assistance in order to protect them. I have since filed disputes with all 3 credit bureaus in an attempt to get this removed from my credit report.

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: In 2015 , XXXX 's XXXX XXXX sent a bill to collecti ons. RentCollect was the company took over the bill. I never received any sort of communication from RentCollect in regards to this. I only found out about it after checking my credit and noticing my score went down due to the collection. The bill they received was for something I do n't owe. Even so, today I contacted them in an attempt to pay that bill. I only offered to pay it because my new apartment complex asked me to address the issue. I called RentCollect multiple times trying to make the payment and only asked for a faxed confirmation to be sent to the apartment complex. They very rudely told me they would not do that and it would have to be mailed.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: IQ Data is currently reporting negative information on my credit reports. They were in receipt of a letter on XXXX requesting verification/validation of this debt as I have no knowledge of this account and have never done business with this company and they have failed to provide this information. They printed out what appears to be a statement with an amount that does not even add up the amount they are claiming I owe. Further, they handwrote an additional amount which still does not add up to the amount they are claiming I owe and which makes absolutely no sense. This is a violation of the Texas Finance Code as this company is now allowed to collect " interest ' '' on an account unless they have entered an agreement. Further, per the Texas Finance Code Section 392.101, a debt collector must hold a surety bond in the State of Texas in order to attempt to collect a debt. IQ Data has failed to comply with these regulations. I have attached all documentation that was mailed to the company.

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: IQ Data International, INC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , WA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Reported to my credit negatively last on XX/XX/2017 .I had no knowledge of this debt until I reviewed my credit report. I never received a move out statement or notice of this balance from the original creditor XXXX XXXX . The alleged debt was originally for XXXX and now the debt is XXXX . This debt is reporting to the same credit bureaus with XXXX different balances, which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) " by misrepresenting the character, AMOUNT, and legal status of a debt. '' I do not own this debt. This debt belongs to my ex spouse that was in the military and discharged and labeled unable to deploy due to scoliosis. I had to sign the lease because I was over the age of XXXX and they needed to run a background check, per the lease agreement, which I have attached, all occupants over the age of XXXX and not marked a legal adult dependent due to XXXX must sign the lease or they can not occupy the apartment for more than XXXX consecutive days, etc.. I had NO income which was clearly marked on the application. XXXX XXXX XXXX I applaud you for assuring all your employees are trained and accredited. In addition, I applaud you for such designation, that is awesome, but we all know even the most highly trained and accredited personnel fail to abide by all laws and regulations. A s IQ Data Internatio nal has actually been sued a few times for illegal actions, where you guys decided to settle, so invalid point. However ; I do not have some divorce decree or private agreement between my ex-husband that is removing me from this debt. I have the contract side between my ex-husband, myself, and XXXX XXXX , which if you had reviewed you would see certain remarks I made on the contract. If it is to my understanding, all apartments have certain criteria to even be a resident, one is running a BACKGROUND check on ALL RESIDENTS over the age of XXXX , which at the time I was. I CLEARLY marked on the application that I do not have any INCOME, which would disqualify me from being able to be responsible for a lease, as obviously I could not afford it. In reference to my complaint " took or threatened to take legal action and threats made against my credit, '' again, here is a flaw in your company that you do not have any documentation of these acti on ( s ), one o bvious action would be threats against my credit which have became actions, you are falsely placing a debt, multiple debts, I DO NOT OWN NOR HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR on my credit reports, negatively affecting my credit worthiness, reputation, and ability to provide housing for my XXXX kids and I. Correct, my account has been marked as disputed but do we honestly have to go over the XXXX tactics of the bureaus marking everything as disputed and verified by FCRA requirements? We both know better. Your client is very aware of their actions when it came to selling this debt to you. I have attached a copy of the lease for your review. Maybe you can contact your client for a list of their requirements when it comes to adult occupants and being able to obtain an apartment within their community ; honestly, if you are properly looking into all of these debts you would have their requirements on hand, which I am requesting a copy of as well. Now I am asking you to have this debt removed from all three of my credit bureaus, because I do not have a contract with you all, and the lease that I did sign, for purposes of running a background check to prove I was not a felon, did not bind me to a collection agency for failure to make payments. This debt belongs to my ex-husband, XXXX XXXX , who at the time held an income and was stationed in XXXX XXXX , Colorado. I appreciate your sincere care towards validity of debts. I have requested the debt be removed from all three credit bureaus permanently and null and void. I do NOT own this debt. They have not removed this debt nor acknowledge the true ownership of this debt. I do not own a valid contract wi th IQ Data International, as a co-signer on this application or debt. Please review the attached documents.
