Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a complaint ( see XXXX ). CAINE & WEINER put a collection on my credit reports without my knowledge and in doing so, this violated the FDCPA Collection Practice by placing a collection account on my credit report without sending a letter to me. CAINE & WEINER did not provide proper validation of the debt. If CAINE & WEINER is unable to provide the above identifying account information, this account must be deleted from all CRAs. CAINE & WEINER also failed to follow FDCPA by not sending a letter giving the consumer time to dispute or validate the alleged debt within the allowed 30-day time frame that is allowed by law.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied and was accepted for a XXXX XXXX, frustratingly the companies app offers no way to sign up for automatic payments. 

XXXX systems failed to notify me of a past due balance on my account. I received XXXX emails or text messages related to a late payment. The direct mail that was sent on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> was labeled on behalf of Wells Fargo, not from XXXX. At this point I did not know of the association between the XXXX brands, up until that point it seems XXXX went out of its way in all marketing to not associate directly with Wells Fargo in any way. 

Furthermore the XXXX app was the primary way I made all payments, this app does not allow for auto-pay in any way ( reference XXXX ). Text message notifications regarding fraud on the account went to my wife instead of to me, my wife has no connection to the account ( reference XXXX ). 

Not only did XXXXWells Fargo fail to notify me properly of past due payment, they violated FCC regulations on permission text notifications, as well as failed consumers with no way to setup auto-pay in the XXXX app. 

Due to these issues by Wells Fargo, I was not given proper notice of late payments on my account, and the late payment remark on my account should be removed immediately.
