I.Q. Data International, Inc. Debt Collection Complaint

I.Q. Data International, Inc. Debt collection department,

Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) Disclosure verification of debt Not given enough info to verify debt California

In - of 2015 my family and I moved from our residence at - - after the property refused to renew our lease For which they did not provide an adequate reason as to their decision even when requested via email ( see attached ). We gave the apartment manager our contact information and requested that a ledger of any cleaning/repair after move out be sent to us ( attached ). Our schedules did not allow for a walk through with the manager however we did take pictures and have attached them to this complaint. We believe that we were not allowed to renew our lease as retaliation for numerous complaints that we made to management regarding appliances that did not work, health issues caused by inadequate living conditions etc. All of which they were reluctant to fix or did not at all fix. After moving out we never heard anything from - - or IQ Data for that matter not a letter, or phone call.We assumed that our security deposit had been used for cleaning and any repairs that might be needed. However, we never received an invoice or itemized list of the


Last month we were notified by - - that there was a collection placed on our credit reports for the amount of $4200.00. We had no idea what this debt could be for since we occupied the apartment for 2 years most of the repairs & cleaning were not beyond normal wear and tear. We also never got a letter from IQ Data stating we had a debt that may go to collections instead they sent it right to our credit report with no attempt to come to a resolution. After a dispute was made with the credit bureaus IQ Data sent us nothing more than a copy of a minimalist walk through checklist created by the property which claimed that everything needed to be replaced including the entire carpet ( citing pet damage when we did not own a pet ), doors, appliances etc. They even finally replaced appliances that we had been complaining about for months prior to moving out. There was no break down of cost on this checklist, no receipts to justify how they got to that total.
