This is in response to the original complaint I submitted to IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL. 
You all stated that in 2019 I reached out to you to resolve a debt issue, please elaborate on how this is possible when the apartments in question said I moved out in 2019. 
Furthermore, I spoke to XXXX  XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX and both places confirmed that the birthday and social do not match my information. 
You all informed me that XXXX XXXX would have to have this information removed ( I reached out to them, and they reached out to you and asked you to remove the information, as they confirmed it was an error. You told them that XXXX XXXX would have to request the removal ( which I am aware that this company is no longer operational ) However on my credit report it doesn't state XXXX XXXX  meaning that any company that currently is managing a property has jurisdiction to remove debt on behalf of the owners, who they have spoken with ). 

I have never received a copy of a lease or signature and I have informed you that the data attached to my name is not my information ( The identification information you had was also inaccurate. You keep speaking out an email address, please do your due diligence to confirm per national statistics how many cyber scammers can duplicate information. Since you guys deal with apartment debt you would think that you would be aware of the number and attempts of apartment scams occurring You all want me to be guilty of something that unfortunately I'm not, I don't care what type of training your employees received, I will be reporting this to the federal government, state attorneys, and any other agency that I feel should be aware. 
If the company that is reporting the debt is willing to remove it explain to me once again why you guys are on such a high horse that you are refusing to remove it? 
Also XXXX XXXX removed this and works for your company and you had her put it back on my credit report

Subject : Dispute of Charge-Off on Credit Report Due to Issuance of 1099-C Dear XXXX XXXX, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off that appears on my credit report. This dispute is made under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e, which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and complete records. 

The specific item I am disputing is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX ] Date Reported : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$2000.00} According to the IRS regulations, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more, which must then be reported as income. This cancellation of debt means that the creditor has discharged the debt and considers it settled. Since the debt has been canceled, it should no longer be reported as an outstanding charge-off on my credit report.

In accordance with 15 USC 1681i, I request that you re-investigate this matter and correct or remove the inaccurate information. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), you are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information reported.

Please conduct a thorough investigation and provide me with a written statement detailing the results of your investigation, as well as an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the corrected information.
