Debt is not yours
Complaint: As a service member in the United States XXXX when this lease was effective, I was protected under the Service Member Civil Relief Act with the right to terminate a residential lease, if there is a permanent change of duty station for no less than 90 days. <P/>Termination of residential or motor vehicle leasesSec. 305 ( 50 U.S.C. app. 535 ) Military persons who live in rental property are allowed to terminate leases entered into prior to a period of active service. It applies to : ( 1 ) property leased for a dwelling or for professional, business, or farm use, or other similar purpose, where the person leasing the property later enters active duty in military service, or where the service member executes the lease while in military service and thereafter receives military orders for a permanent change of duty station ( PCS ) or to deploy with a military unit for a period of at least 90 days.
The service member may terminate a property lease by delivering by hand, private business carrier, or mailing return receipt requested, a written notice and a copy of his or her military orders to the lessor or its agent. <P/>In XXXX 2014, I did my due diligence and provided a WRITTEN NOTICE to the landlord in informing them that we were vacating the premises in 30 days due to military orders. The landlord ACCEPTED the written notice and made note that we were vacating the premises. <P/>To this date, there is a collections account on my credit report for {$3300.00} and this has dramatically impacted my credit score and report to the point where it is difficult for me to obtain credit and rent elsewhere! I have attempted numerous times for the past 2.5 years to dispute this collections account. It is VERY SAD how this company and its representatives treat service members!

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: IQ Data c ontacted me regarding a debt my ex was responsible for. I informed them I was not responsible and that I would have him contact them. A few days later I was contacted and informed that he had set up a payment arrangement and they were calling to see what I could do. I again told them I was not responsible for the charge and that I was preparing for a military XXXX and to contact him. Once again they called and this time he told me to consider a settlement to prevent them from placing this item on my credit report. I asked them did my ex make an arrangement and any payments and the gentleman said yes to both that my ex made an {$850.00} payment and set up arrangements of {$330.00} to cover the remaining balance until the debt was paid. He then stated that he was offering me a deal to save money to prevent them from ruining my credit by placing it. I told him the debt was n't mine and if my ex was actively paying them why was he threatening me with a settlement of {$1500.00}. I told him to please continue working with my ex and leave me out of it. They then placed this item on my credit report. My ex contacted them and again they told him they would do a deletion for a complete payment and he stated he was n't in the position to pay that amount and the supervisor then told him " I 'm taking you off of the payment plan since you wo n't do the settlement. '' This company is horrible! They are bullying individuals with the threat of reporting items and them forcing settlements in order to delete them. This is not my debt, this item was placed on my report specifically for the refusal of my ex to pay a lump sum. Although he already paid them {$850.00} to set up the payment plan, after refusing the settlement they removed him off the payment plan and then proceeded to take the {$330.00} anyway.

Debt was paid
Complaint: I moved out of my Apartment complex XX/XX/XXXX not knowing I owed money for a security deposit. At that time the complex was called XXXX XXXX . I found out about the money owed when I used the complex as a reference for a new apartment rental which happened to be the same apartment manage company XXXX . This was in XX/XX/XXXX . I went to my old complex which was XXXX XXXX asked them to pull up my file. XXXX the manager at the time.. showed I owed {$320.00} to XXXX XXXX . He gave me a list of how they came to those figures. I still have that copy. By then this went to a collection agency by the name of Rent Collect aka IQ Data. XXXX the one who filled out the XXXX XXXX XXXX originally. He called Rent Collect while i was in his office to explain to them that i was paying the complex and he was going to send my payment to XXXX XXXX . They were even rude to him. After he got off the phone with them. We made a written payment agreement that he typed out on company letterhead that i 'd pay the {$320.00} with in 3-4 wks so that I can move into another apartment Complex by the name of XXXX XXXX . We both signed it and I made my payments as agreed and I emailed them ever time i made a payment. Before the last payment was dropped XXXX XXXX left the company and our emails were forwarded to a XXXX XXXX . I then asked her to send all the payments at once to XXXX XXXX and she agreed. This was XX/XX/XXXX . That same month I moved into my new apartment XXXX XXXX after XXXX XXXX verified that i paid XXXX XXXX . Fast forward 3 years later. I notice I have a new collection on my credit XXXX report.. It 's with Rent Colle ct/ IQ Data. I immediately dispute with the credit bureau in regards to Rent Collect t he reason being. I 've already paid this account. This should be deleted. However It came back as verified. I was in shock. A week or so later IQ data XXXX Rent Collect sends me this old claim form submitted by XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX . This debt was was paid XX/XX/XXXX ... So they never even validated the debt. What he sent me I already had when XXXX gave me all those papers in XX/XX/XXXX . So its outdated. Fed up with them because they are rude. I decided to contact the original complex. Since they are the ones who made the claim in the first place and are the ones who agreed to send to XXXX XXXX so that I can move into a new complex. Unfortunately for me completely different staff work there now and they changed the name of the complex to XXXX XXXX . I 've been sending numerous emails explaining the situation and even sending old email conversations with me from XXXX and XXXX and I can not get any one to help me. I 've been sending these emails since XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX I hardly get responses. So last week I was getting to my wits end. So I kindly phoned XXXX XXXX a week ago and verbally asked her to look into it. I gave her my whole spill again as I do n't think she even remembers me. She told me that she 'd call XXXX XXXX to verify that payments were received but I have yet to get a call or email and rent collect/iq data is still on my credit files.. it 's been at least a week since our last conversation. I even sent a kind follow up email because I know people are busy and she may have forgotten our conversation. I know they have a copy of our signed agreement as well as copies of the money orders that i dropped off. Which i had already explained to her. My next step is to go down in person tomorrow. I just want this resolved and no one seems to care to want to help me. I 've sent them as much proof as i can dig up. I ca n't even trace the money orders now because its been so long. I refuse to pay something i 've already paid.

On XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX and I went to the apartment manager and took them the {$1400.00}, the 30 day notice, and XXXX rent.

Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Complaint: Formal Fraud Report, The fraudulent landlord XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Creditor ) is committing intentional fraudulent activities again and as previously expected and documented in the filed in the Declaration at the Bankruptcy XXXX ourt. This time they are committing a major violation to the federal law and the automatic stay. The Bankruptcy Court mailed them the Bankruptcy documents as confirmed in the courts Certificate of Notice.

The XXXX false judgment which they have won based on bribes and corruption through the corrupted law firms name above stated that the total judgment amount is {$7000.00} which is listed in my Bankruptcy case schedules. Now, this fraudulent landlord and this fraudulent collection agency ( I.Q. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is stating that the amount is {$15000.00} as they are intentionally ignoring the Bankruptcy case, Bankruptcy Court, and the Honorable Bankruptcy Judge. Furthermore, they are falsely including my ex-wifes name on the collection agencys fabricated bill while she was never on the leasing contract with them. They are practicing intentional violations and disrespecting the entire judicial system. They are also aware about this entire Bankruptcy case as they are represented by another corrupted law firm ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX They have filed an NEF Request on XXXX / XXXX / XXXX ). Additionally, they are falsely changing their legal name in the fabricated collection agencys bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to a false and fictional name XXXX XXXX ( CA ) intentionally aiming to escape from the legal consequences and to mislead justice.

Additionally, they are mailing this fabricated and false bill to my old address intentionally as they want to cause intentional delay for the mail delivery so they can use this time to continue their fraud activities while they are aware of my new mailing address as documented in this Bankruptcy case and the Superior Court of California cases as well.
Those fraudulent and dirty people are paying bribes and fabricating documents.
