Key Complaints Reported by Consumers 

Failure to Provide Validation Information 

Many consumers have raised concerns about not receiving adequate validation information for alleged debts. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you have the right to request debt validation to ensure the debt is legitimate. Without this information, consumers are left in the dark about the accuracy of the claims being made against them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA 

• Debt collectors must provide written validation of the debt within five days of initial contact. 
• You have the right to dispute the debt within 30 days, and the collector must halt collection efforts until the debt is verified.

Denial of Opportunity to Dispute the Debt 

Numerous complaints state that Caine & Weiner denied consumers the opportunity to dispute the debt. This violates FDCPA regulations, which ensure that consumers can contest debts before they are reported to credit bureaus. Being denied this right can lead to unfair damage to your credit score.

Know Your Rights 

• You must be informed of your right to dispute any debt. 
• Any disputed debt cannot be reported to credit bureaus without a resolution.

False, Misleading, and Deceptive Practices 

Consumers have reported being contacted about debts they do not owe or that are under dispute. These false claims can cause unnecessary stress and may be an attempt to manipulate consumers into paying illegitimate debts.

Protect Yourself Against Deceptive Practices 

• Debt collectors cannot misrepresent the amount owed, the creditor, or the legal validity of the debt. 
• Harassment, threats, or intimidation for payments are strictly prohibited under the FDCPA.

Unauthorized Furnishing of Account Information 

Caine & Weiner has also been accused of sharing account information with credit reporting agencies without authorization. This action raises privacy concerns and can negatively impact your credit report.

Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 

• Any information shared with credit bureaus must be accurate and properly verified. 
• You can dispute inaccurate information on your credit report, and the credit bureau must investigate.
