Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
According to my credit report, I have an account with CAINE & WEINER. I am very confused about how I ended up with not only an unauthorized soft inquiry, but also a debt of {$190.00} that I somehow owe to CAINE & WEINER even though I've never done business with them. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Credit Bureaus are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts that they post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for their reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I do not, nor have I ever held an account with CAINE & WEINER. I have never signed any kind of physical agreement to pay this amount to CAINE & WEINER, nor has the debt been verified on my credit report. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) that all three bureaus have on file of the accounts listed above because their failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if the bureaus ( along with collection agencies ) are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, they must remove the accounts listed above. I demand the following accounts be verified or removed from all three bureaus immediately.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Based on the document with the account number XXXX and dated XX/XX/2023, it appears that National Credit Systems Inc is attempting to collect a debt of {$4900.00} related to an apartment. However, under the provisions of state and federal consumer protection laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the recipient of this document has the right to request verification of the debt before any collection efforts can proceed. 

Therefore, the recipient is instructing National Credit Systems Inc to cease collection of the debt until efforts are made to obtain verification. The recipient further asserts that any reporting of this matter to credit reporting agencies is premature, and that negative information should be removed from their credit report until the investigative process is complete, or at the very least updated to reflect their dispute. 

It is important to note that the recipient has legal rights and protections under consumer protection laws, and any attempts to collect the debt must be conducted in accordance with these laws. Failure to do so may result in legal action against National Credit Systems Inc.
