    We have completed our re-investigation of this complaint. Based on the information reviewed, we have determined this dispute is substantially similar to a dispute previously investigated and responded to on June 4, 2025. Please send any additional information or documentation to support your dispute to our office to re-investigate. Until additional information is received, we maintain the consumer and account information has been accurately reported to the credit reporting agencies.

    Complaint: 23412667

    I am rejecting this response because: Caine & Weiner did not provide proper validation of the alleged debt as required under 15 USC 1692g(b). They continue to report this account on my credit file without proving I owe the debt or that they are legally authorized to collect it.
    Saying they "will mail verification" is not a resolution. Ive already requested full validation twice and received no documents showing a signed agreement, original creditor details, or a breakdown of charges.
    Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 USC 1681i and 1681e(b)), the credit bureaus must remove unverifiable accounts.
    I dispute this debt in full and demand that it stop reporting until full legal validation is provided. This response is insufficient and dismissive of my rights as a consumer. 

     

    This is not a duplicate dispute it's a continuation due to their ongoing failure to validate. I am not providing additional information because the burden of proof is on them, not me.

    Sincerely,

    ******* *****

    I honestly dont get why Caine & Weiner is reporting this debt under my name because I dont owe them anything. I never signed anything with them, and when I asked for a copy of the original application, they didnt even bother to provide it. Its frustrating because this is hurting my credit for no reason, and its just not fair. How can they just put something on my report without any proof? Account No: 1402 Amount Disputed: $520

    I am not liable for this debit with CAINE & WEINER. I do not have a contract with CAINE & WEINER, They did not provide me with the original contract like requested.

    I am not responsible for paying this debt back to Caine & Weiner. I never entered any type of contract with this company and after asking them to provide substantial proof such as an original signed contract by me, they failed to provide this.
