Caine & Weiner is a third-party collection agency headquartered in Sherman Oaks, CA, operating since 1930 — one of the older collection agencies still active in the U.S. It collects on behalf of original creditors rather than buying and owning debt itself, so if Caine & Weiner is contacting you, your account is most likely still owed to the original company that hired them. If you don’t recognize the debt or want them to prove it’s actually yours before you respond further, see how to send a debt validation request.

Questions & Answers

Is Caine & Weiner a legitimate debt collector?

Caine & Weiner shows up in the CFPB consumer complaint database, which tracks real complaints filed against real companies — so it is a legitimate, registered entity, not a scam name. That doesn't mean every call claiming to be from them is real; scammers impersonate real collectors. Verify what they're collecting before paying anything — see what to do the first time a collector contacts you.

How do I stop Caine & Weiner from calling me?

Under the FDCPA, you can send Caine & Weiner a written cease-and-desist letter and they must stop contacting you except to confirm they've received it or to notify you of specific legal action. This doesn't erase the debt — it only stops the calls. See the cease-and-desist letter glossary entry for how to send one.
