Iq Data International

Well, I’ve got limited experience with debt collection agencies, but from my experience with IQ Data, I can say that their rep was pleasant, but firm on the phone. However, I can’t say they’re doing their job very well because they’re trying to collect a debt that has already been paid. The fault lies both with IQ Data and the apartment complex, but IQ Data persists, even though I have concrete proof that the debt was paid from the original creditor. They should have backed off, but they continue to report the debt to credit agencies and waste boatloads of my time disputing it.
If a debt collector is going to harass someone to this extent, I think they should, at least, acknowledge that the debt is valid or not. I guess this only gets settled in court.

First of all… NOT AN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY… It is a collection agency for property owners and apartment complexes. I KNOW that it works because my gf got turned down at 4 apartments because she owed and was reported by them. Anybody who is in their system WILL NOT be rented to.
I read all these bad reviews and thought one thing: These guys do their job!

WORST COMPANY EVER. This is by far the worst company I have ever had to deal with in my entire life. For one the lady Angela who works there has the worst customer service experience I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. hands down. ENTIRE LIFE. I just called to let the know of my situation, tell them I was in school and was going to be making payments (starting today as a matter of fact) and the guy Josh I think his name was responds «YOU CALLED TO TELL ME THAT?» so so so rude. The conversation went on and i was more appalled than ever. I cannot believe these people even have jobs. I ripped up my bill and dont give a **** if I ever pay these people.

This company contacted me last year regarding a «debt» owed to a past apartment complex. I explained to them that we had a legal right to leave the unit, due to habitability issues. I sent them documentation of the issues, correspondence between me and the complex, along with civil codes. I haven’t heard from them since. NOW they have docked my credit report with multiple hits, for one apartment!
I have tried calling multiple times, and no matter what time of day I am trying to reach them, I am told an «advisor» is out to lunch and I will have to try back.
If you get contacted by this company, my advise would be to talk to an attorney.
—— update —–
I was finally «allowed» to speak to a manager and after some research he removed the collection account from our credit reports and closed it. So I’m thankful for a responsible employee who did his job and took care of that matter at hand.

THEY ARE COLLECTING A DEBT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID! Even after I sent them court documentation, of the debt being paid off, they still are trying to collect, and wont remove it from my credit. Marcell and his manager Randy are very rude, they hang up on me, Marcell even got loud and rude. Randy claimed that he never received my documents. I have already reported them to BBB, CFBP, and the Credit Bureaus, Not sure what else to do, this company is doing Fraud.

Debt collectors, so already the lowest of the low. Really disspiritied employees.

very uneducated and very unprofessional, typical bottom feeding scum. learn the laws!!!

These dirtbags have apparently never read the fair debt collection practices act or the consumer’s bill of rights. These lowlife scumbags are trying to extort me for a debt that isn’t even mine. When I requested proof or the debt, which they are required to provide under the fair debt collection practices act, they refused to provide it. Once I threatened to get an attorney they refused to talk to me at all.

Terrible customer service. I’ve dealt with collections agencies before and never had to deal with anyone so rude in my life. First of all, before I got any kind of phone call or notice, they called my mother to get me on the phone. After doing some research, it appears this is a common practice to get people to contact them. They harass third parties to get you to call them. They like to make threats to get you to pay your debt, and they won’t let you hang up the phone until you’ve given them a credit card number or bank account. In my opinion, this whole company should be abolished. I personally think they are abusing their power. Specifically, the woman who called my mother is named Ferris, and she was an absolute nightmare. If you get a call from her, do yourself a favor and ask for her supervisor. She’s not fit to be doing her job. I will say, once I was transferred to someone with an actual brain and sense of compassion, I spoke to a man named Kevin. He was pretty level headed and actually worked with me to solve the problem, unlike Ferris who just kept repeating herself and demanding payment. Kevin helped me solve my problem, but the rest of the company is trash. KEVIN IF YOU ARE READING THIS FIND A NEW JOB MAN YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE SCUM THAT WORK FOR IQ DATA.

After being pushed off from company to company by my old apartment complex, I was finally able to resolve my move out cost with I.Q. Data. Jeff was very professional and helpful. He went through the bill with me and explained the different cost. I.Q. Data was the most helpful out of this whole ordeal.

Their employee Tyler called me trying to bully me into a payment I had no idea existed as I shared the responsibility to pay it with another person. After being argumentative with me, he put me on hold to call the other person responsible for payment. I obviously hung up on him but when he called the second party, she informed him that the debt was paid in full weeks prior and provided a confirmation. I didn’t receive a call back with an apology although I shouldn’t have expected one. Sweating me over $ 400 and threatening to report it to the credit agency. I am a person who will always pay a legitimate debt. If by chance my delinquency here was valid, I would NOT have paid this company a dime based off the way they think they can treat people. Horrible business!

Need negatives seriously. This company started in after me after I moved from an apartment. I had stayed through the terms of my lease, paid my lease through in full never once even being late with my rent, gave the complex 90 days notice I was not going to renew my lease and then 2 months after I move this company starts harrassing me saying I was to give 60 days notice of moving not 90 and so the complex had not acknowledged my 90 days notice so now I owed the complex more than a months rent for not giving notice I wasn’t renewing my lease?!! I never even OWED anything! I paid my lease all the way through to term on time in full!

Very rude and ignorant people working here, I have been trying to pay off my debt, but they will not work with me.

If I could give a negative star I would. whoever the angela individual is in this company (must be related to someone) is just a horrible person. I called in to pay on my debt and she was very snotty and rude! I have spoken with her at least 2 times and each time she has broken the FDCPA! got my debt paid with jeff who was very courteous and professional, who obviously cares about not being fined!

I talked to couple people including managers and general manager. Very rule responses like gangsters and uneducated. They did not apologise for their mistakes but forcing customers to accept their requests and permissions, which made us cancelled our contract and find another company.

Horrible business. I paid a debt in full but it was never taken off my credit report. The workers here are truly scum.

I have two reviews for this company, as you can see, I have awarded them 4 stars in this review. This is the review concerning the two ladies with whom I initially spoke; these two ladies, Stephanie was one, and I forgot the other lady’s name, I did mention her by name in my letter to the company itself to commend them both on great customer service and being human. They tried to help me find options, then offered an affordable payment plan to take care of the debt. I couldnt have thanked them enough, this lead me to write a letter commending them on their professionalism. They were human, they were women who are moms, and just came across as understanding. I intended to pay, I was getting ready to contact the apartments that I owed but they called me instead. Perfect timing, and I had money to make a good faith payment. So for the most part, it was a pretty cool experience given the nature of our acquaintance. I like these two ladies, I think that they are a asset to a company, great customer service and very helpful, Stephanie is full of information and tried to help me six ways til Sunday, (i never understood that phrase, lol, I digress) I appreciate them.
* ONE STAR
The second part of my review is not so great, this time I spoke with Angela, Angela was far from professional, yes she had answers; they were not the answers to the questions that I was asking, which I found to be condescending. First of all, she came on the phone spewing information. Information that I did not need, nor ask. When I did ask my question, she danced around it as though it would disguise the fact that she did not know. So I probed further, now I sound like some of the reviews I’ve read, I never had anyone discuss anything about interest accruing WHILE I am PAYING on time, arrangements set up with this company and confirmed with their «verifyier». At the time that I made the arrangements, I asked that I pay twice a month. August is a three pay period month, I was given the choice to pay one extra payment, but I said no, I only want to make the two per month.
I called today, because the amount was debited from my acct. on a payment date that I did not agree to, BUT i owe the money and they now have my acct information. That is not as bad as this, I asked Angela my balance, again she began spewing information that was not relevant to my question. She quoted a balance damn near my orignal debt. So, how, if I have been paying every month am I still in the same neighborhood of debt? She said interest… I said shouldn’t someone have explained that although I am current, I am accruing interest? She didnt know… big surprised. Then she said «you might want to speak to your rep» I said I DID want to speak to MY rep. blahblahblah later, and I asked if their was anyone else that I could speak to, she said no, that she didnt think anyone could tell me anything… I’m like no one? AND you are thinking for others when you dont sound like your thinking at all, how about, I don’t know (which is an entirely different convo) let me have someone get back to you.
She acted as though she was trying to take us to that place, the place that a lot of the other reviews claim the reps there try to take it. I wasnt being any parts of rude or non compliant, so I refused to continue to deal with her, and insisted to speak to someone, anyone else. she informed me at this time that every one was at lunch. I called back half an hour later, she answered. she said that everyone is still at lunch. ok so now it’s almost two so I will call back. What ever the outcome is, I will say that it is not necessarily this company as a whole, they may reward negative behavior for numbers or whatever, but overall, this company was cool towards me, it was just this one very unprofessional, unknowlegeable, individual and her few croonies that give this company a bad name, they should have her sit with Stephanie for a few calls… it doesnt have to be this way. I am going to check back and see what my balance is, what interest I could possibly be accruing, and weren’t they supposed to tell me that? The bill I did recieve had the same amount that I agreed to and have been paying, so why would it be nearly the same amount, three/​four months later? PLUS, what rate of interest is this? And wasnt someone supposed to tell me that as well. To be continued…

This company does not work with you in any way! The people are rude and unprofessional! Does not follow the law in their business practices.
