Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I was contacted by IQ Data informing me that I owed around {$6000.00} in collections for unpaid rent. I informed them that this debt was a result of identity fraud and asked where I could send the applicable documents to prove this. They provided an email address. I sent the documents ( Police Report, Fraudulent ID used to rent the apartment, my current and valid ID ) and was told that they would investigate the claim and let me know the results. 

It has now been over 3 months, and I still haven't received any updates. When I call them, they informed me that they can't provide any new information. They won't even confirm whether they have received my email with supporting documentation. I have left several voicemails with managers at the company, but have not received a callback.
