Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Solomon and Solomon, P.C.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Solomon and Solomon Pc is attempting to collect an alleged questionable debt, and has also reported such alleged questionable negative information to the major credit reporting agencies. 

The alleged debt originated from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) with a reported account number of XXXX. 

I had never been contacted directly Solomon and Solomon regarding this alleged debt. I was unaware of this debt until I noticed it on my major credit reports. Upon noticing this debt, I disputed it with the credit reporting agencies, which later came back as " verified and updated ''. 

On XX/XX/XXXX i sent a debt validation letter to Solomon and Solomon requesting validation, verification with proof. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a three page response from Solomon and Solomon. First page was a generic computer generated letter stating this was the response to my request. second page was a screen print out from their computer with Identifying information redacted. the third page was what appeared to be a final bill or statement from XXXX. 

There are several issues and discrepancies with the " validation '' and they are as follows : 1 ) All identifying information that would show who this alleged debt belongs to, was redacted. 
2 ) The screen shot from Solomon and Solomon computer shows XXXX service dates ranging from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX 3 ) The Screen Shot also shows a last payment date of XX/XX/XXXX which is over two month from the alleged service end date ( according to their screen shot ) 4 ) The screen shot also shows that service is still active and not yet terminated.

5 ) The reported amount of the alleged debt is {$3500.00}. It raises question to how a debt of this amount could possibly be accumulated in under one year of service ( as per their records ) and how service would still be active.

6 ) The third page which appears to be a final bill from XXXX shows service dates from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX which totally contradicts the proof provided from soloman and Solomon. 
7 ) I have documented proof that I was residing at another location during both of those time previous that are being reported. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a follow up validation request to Solomon an Solomon requesting more clarification and better accounting of dates, amounts, and identifying information. I also listed my concerns as listed above and questioned all the discrepancies. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an exact duplicate of the information received on XX/XX/XXXX. With no further explanation, clarification or identification verification. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received another unsolicited duplication of the papers received on XX/XX/XXXX. 

It appears that the persons receiving these letters at Solomon an Solomon are not reading them, as i am getting the same generic responses, with contradicting information. They have yet to respond to my requests for further verification or clarification. 

My issues has still yet to be resolved as their Reponses with discrepancies and lack of information raise more questions, instead of offering validation or verification. 

therefore, I a requesting that they cease all current and future collections efforts, including removing the information from my credit reports, on the basis that they are unable to provide adequate verification, validation or identifying information. I also base this request on research showing that Solomon and Solomon has already been in various levels of trouble with your office and other regulatory agencies for improper debt collection practices.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
