Complaint narrative:
Company Information : Company Name : IQ Data International , Inc. 
Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX Complaint : Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX am writing to file a formal complaint against IQ Data International , Inc. regarding their handling of a debt that they claim I owe. I was not aware of this debt, nor did I receive any certified letter advising me of my right to dispute the debt. I believe that IQ Data International has violated several consumer protection laws in their collection practices. Details of the Complaint : 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Debt : - According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, a debt collector is required to send the consumer a written notice within five days after the initial communication, detailing the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and a statement of the consumer 's right to dispute the debt within 30 days. I did not receive such a notice from IQ Data International.

2. Violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : - IQ Data International has failed to comply with the FDCPA by not providing me with a certified letter informing me of my right to dispute the debt. This is a direct violation of my rights under the FDCPA. XXXX. Possible Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : - The FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681, mandates that debt collectors must report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Since I was not aware of this debt and was not given an opportunity to dispute it, any negative reporting by IQ Data International on my credit report would be inaccurate and a violation of the FCRA.

4. Violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) : - The FCBA, 15 U.S.C. 1666, ensures the right of consumers to dispute billing errors, including unauthorized charges. Without proper notification of the debt, I was deprived of my right to dispute the debt under the FCBA.

Relevant Lawsuits : - IQ Data International has faced several lawsuits for similar violations. Notably, the case " XXXX XXXX. IQ Data International , Inc., '' where the plaintiff alleged that IQ Data International failed to provide proper validation of debt and engaged in unlawful collection practices. This case, among others, highlights a pattern of behavior that violates consumer rights and supports my complaint.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
