Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Weber & Olcese, PLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) is attempting to collect a DEBT NOT OWED ( {$1200.00} ) for the second time - Weber & Oclese ( Debt Collection Attorney 's ). I contacted this agency multiple times, by phone and email. ( attached correspondences below ). 

I informed W & O about the first attempt to collect debt not owed and attached paperwork. However, I continue to receive letters from Weber & Oclese stating I owe this {$1200.00}. 

XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) is notorious for doing " unlawful '' things - Trying to renovate the building on the backs of tenants. Claiming repairs ( due to normal wear and tear ) as the fault of current tenant, when XXXX  needs to fix themselves. 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I filed the first complaint with the CFPB on XX/XX/2018 ( Complaint # XXXX-XXXX  ). 

I thoroughly proved I was NOT responsible for the alleged debt. XXXX claims I am responsible for replacing carpet in the unit. I AM NOT. 

I moved into a dirty apartment and the carpet was USED, fraying, and pulling from the walls ( so much I could see cracks in the foundation where the insects and rodents came from ). I documented this in an email to XXXX manager. I provided a copy of the email in the first complaint. 

I was evicted illegally after complaining to the City of  XXXX of a bad infestation of bees in my apartment. Upon leaving, I asked XXXX  to provide me with the outgoing checklist of the tenant who lived in the apartment before me. They never did. XXXX  can not prove the damages were made by me and not the tenant before. However, I proved on an inventory checklist ( attached in first complaint ), I was put in a very dirty apartment, who's carpet was NOT NEW. Within one month of my tenancy I had an infestation of mice who defecated all over this " used carpet. '' Mice carry diseases. Luckily, my cat killed all of them. ( I have this on video and will post it if necessary ). The carpet should be replaced regardless after having a repeated infestation of rodents in my living space. Again, a XXXX  responsibility. I did NOT bring mice in to live with me!! There were holes all over the apartment foundation where the mice got in. XXXX XXXX PAYS, NOT ME. 

My point, XXXX  is RESPONSIBLE for replacing this carpet. It is not my responsibility. I am NOT paying for carpet that I DID NOT RUIN. I want Weber & Oclese and XXXX  to STOP HARASSING ME. 

XXXX XXXX never sued me or taken me to smalls claims court for a judgement to be made on this " alleged debt. '' I DID TRY to SUE XXXX two times for the moving costs. Both summons were refused. XXXX  has two chances to meet me in court to get a judgement on this alleged debt. They refused. Instead, choosing to repeatedly send collection agencies after me. 

To date, XXXX XXXX has sent a second debt collection agency after me - Weber & Olcese. I will not pay Weber and Oclese for this alleged debt either and fully anticipate being turned over to collections - screwing up my good credit score. 

I am TIRED of dealing with XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ),  and all the agencies he keeps harassing me with.
