Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: T.S. Holdings
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received a debt collection notice from I.Q. Data International on XX/XX/year>, claiming I owed {$350.00} to a former apartment complex ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This was the first time I was formally notified of the debt in writing. 

Prior to this letter, I was never contacted by the apartment complex or I.Q. Data about this balancenot by mail, email, or phone. The collector later admitted they had been calling the wrong number. Because I never received proper notice, I was not given the opportunity to dispute the debt within the 30-day window required by law. 

After moving out, I received my full security deposit back through the mail with no explanation of any outstanding charges and no final bill. I reasonably believed that my account was settled in full. At no point did the apartment complex notify me of any additional balance due. This debt collection came as a complete surprise. 

Out of concern for potential credit damage, I paid the amount in full before receiving the letteronly to find out afterward that I should have had the right to review and dispute the charges. I was never told the debt would be sent to collections. This feels deceptive and unfair, and I believe it violates my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

I am requesting an investigation into the collection practices involved, and a written confirmation that this account was never reported negatively to credit bureaus. If possible, I would also like this complaint reviewed for any possible refund or compensation for the failure to notify me properly.

My acct has been closed since XX/XX/year>. First progress had placed a block on my acct due to " too many payments '' I tried for months to provide documentation to them they were requesting to no avail. I then decided to just close my acct and requested my XXXX deposit. Since XX/XX/year> my acct has shown that it's been refunded. I verified with them prior to closing my acct what address the check refund would be mailed to. I've been calling and keep getting multiple answers. First they said it can take 30 days to issue a refund from XX/XX/XXXX. Then they said the refund was issued via debit to the original payment method. Now they are saying it was reprocessed and will be sent via check. And will take another 30 days. This company is just giving me the run around and I just want my money back.

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Goodwill Deletion Request Letter PAID Charge-Off XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> To : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX Re : Account # XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) Closed / Paid Request for Goodwill Removal Dear XXXX XXXX, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to sincerely request a goodwill adjustment regarding the above-referenced account, which was charged off and closed with a balance of {$460.00}. I have since paid this account in full and appreciate the opportunity to have resolved the matter. 

At the time of delinquency, I was dealing with personal and financial challenges that impacted my ability to make timely payments. These issues have since been resolved, and I have taken major steps to rebuild my financial stability and credit health. 

I respectfully ask that you consider removing the charge-off notation from my credit report as a gesture of goodwill. This negative mark does not reflect my current financial behavior or responsibility, and its removal would greatly support my efforts to continue rebuilding my credit. 

Please know this request is not intended to dispute the accuracy of your reporting, but rather to ask for your compassionate consideration. Your assistance would mean a great deal to me. 

Thank you very much for your time and understanding. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
