Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Ca n't include exact dates from years ago, however the collection company known as IQ Data had  constantly called me between the hours of XXXX and XXXX for 3 weeks straight back around late XXXX, early XXXX. They had never sent an original letter/notice of collections. When asked to submit said letter as well as further proof that the debt was mine, they stated that they could not until the debt had been paid. When asked if they could provide proof that the debt is mine, they stated they could not until the debt was paid. When told that they are to no longer contact me if they could not prove that the debt was mine, they threatened to have me arrested for not paying. They constantly were rude over the phone, and used profanities. When I moved into my new apartment, they contacted my landlord asking for my information. My landlord disclosed the fact that I 'm in XXXX XXXX XXXX due to the fact that I 'm on XXXX but no other info was given. IQ data then attempted to contact me by phone further demanding that I contact my local social security office and have the SSA send documents to IQ data to allow them to collect from my benefits. I once again asked them to provide written proof in the mail that showed the debt was mine, they once again became rude with me, cursing at me, and hung up. Recently I recieved a few more calls from IQ data through the use of blocked numbers around XXXX in the morning. They also sent letters in the mail to my mother demanding she have me contact them and that if she does not, then she will inherit the debt. I am assuming this is due to the fact that the statute of limitations is nearing.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I submitted an online dispute to Experian because a collection popped on my credit report from XXXX, a collection agency due to inaccurate information and medicredit failed to submit to me a validation of the debt. Within 8 days Experian results came back as the account will remain. So I called Experian and spoke with a special solutions rep by the name of XXXX and he stated that they electronically processed the dispute and XXXX responded by saying it was valid. I asked XXXX did they send them any documentation and XXXX stated that they do n't have to have documentation the creditor just reply either the debt is valid or not. I told XXXX that was not correct they have to send validation of the debt because that 's pretty much saying anyone can lie and say the debt is valid. XXXX said NO they reporting the account correctly. SO XXXX XXXX, I sent Experian a certified letter asking for a METHOD OF VERIFICATION that they used to validate my debt along with my Id and social security card because I have a right to request how the debt was validated with Experian ON XXXX XXXX I received a notification stating my results were ready, the account still remains on my credit report. Experian did not send me anything if my credit file to show proof of their investigation or what records they have in my file containing this debt. FCRA 611 ( a ) states I have a right to contact the credit agencies with the proper identification and request a reinvestigation to determine if the disputed information is accurate. Experian did not do that, I requested a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information and did not receive what I requested. Experian is violation of my fair credit reporting rights and something need to be done and addressed about it. XXXX and XXXX deleted the account due to the company failure to provide accurate information but Experian did not. So are they saying they are the only ones who received accurate information from XXXX? And if so where is the accurate information and why did n't they send it to me.

I completed my education with approximately {$45000.00} in school loan debts. A few years after beginning repayment, I consolidated the remaining {$41000.00} in debts. Over the years I have paid over {$95000.00} toward this debt. The prinicple on this loan remains over {$37000.00}. So of the {$95000.00} I have paid toward my education debt, only {$4000.00} has been counted toward paying down the debt. This seems criminal! Can you help?

Dear CFPB My name is XXXX XXXX and Iam writing you about an entry listed on my credit report which I have tried to have removed.

Through experian, XXXX and XXXX systems i filed a dispute stating that someone with asimilar name had filed this public record and it was not mine. Unfortunately it came back verified and it is still listed on my credit report.

As you well know it is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to report erroneous information on a creditreport. I ask that you remove it immediately.
