Consumer Complaint: After I won an unlawful detainer case against my previous landlord. Opposing counsel was informed of my sons XXXX XXXX and agreed he could not be held to any responsibility in this case. 8 heard nothing at all from my previous landlord or their lawyer. My phone number is as available to them and I had my mail forwarded but recieved nothing from them. On about XX/XX/XXXX. I had gone to my mailbox to get my mail and found an invoice from IQ Data international, a collection agency. One invoice had my name and I found another with my sons name on it. Both invoices were in the amount of {$12.00} XXXX. I dont feel as though I owe this information listed amount I called the collection agency to ask for the documents supporting the amount billed and to let them know that I was upset that I had no prior notice of this inflated bill and that I will dispute it. What action can I take to get this removed from me and my sons credit. The entire situation is nothing that I caused not even the eviction. How is it legal for this to happen??? Please help me.
