Caine & Weiner

I give this company zero stars because they are exceptionally rude! The representative and supervisor my husband spoke to were very hostile toward him and wouldn’t work with him on his debt. This happened all over one day! My husband asked for ONE day! These people are extremely hostile and rude and I wouldn’t give them the time of day if I were you because it’s a complete waste to deal with these clowns!

I received a phone call from this organization looking for a relative. The relative and I do not share a home or a phone so I’m not sure how they got my phone number at all, though I suspect it was a typo. When I told them this the EXTREMELY rude customer service rep refused to identify themselves or what they were calling on while asking that I take a message for this person and/​or give them that individual’s contact information. As there was no way for me to verify who this person was or how they had gotten my number at all, I refused. I only identified the origin of the phone number through google.
I suggest the organization find a way to work with their clients to ensure that they have the correct information for contacting them. Based on the lack of information from the person calling me, using a blocked/​unidentified number, failing to identify themselves and calling the wrong number (a number that was never furnished to them by myself or my relative and who to their knowledge owes no debt to anyone), I have no way of knowing whether this is a scam or not.
Should they call me again without properly identifying themselves, I will be filing an FTC Complaint.

HORRIBLE customer service, especially by the agent named Chantel.
I wanted to give her the correct info so she can collect the debt, just yells at me, bossy, and hangs up on me.
WHAT are they trying to do? Collect the debt or just harrass people?

This company is horribly unprofessional. They have a called our offices numerous times per day, called our staff «unintelligent» and other names. We explained to them we are disputing the invoice due to an accounting error on more than 20 occasions, yet they call numerous times per day as if we have never stated our position. We do NOT owe the debt. Any company who uses them for collections is scraping the bottom of the barrel. These folks are harassing to extreme. After 30 years working at professional offices and law firms, I have never been talked to in such a manner as these folks do. Their only vice is bullying. We will never do business with any company that does business with them. All of you companies who have used them are not getting your money because of legitimate means. You are getting it because they will bully someone to the point of paying them to stop the harassment.

We are a UK company that was owed quite a large sum from an American company. It looked like we were not going to get paid so we enlisted the services of Caine & Weiner as they were US based. They were very professional from the start and made everything very simple. Just got our payment today and were very pleased with the service. And very happy to get paid as well!

In response to Aaron’s comment, today was the first day of speaking with these people. I called to see if we could negotiate a settlement payment immediately. The girl not only to me the original balance but that it had went of $ 200 and will continue to if not paid. told her that monies of that amount are not available and can we negotiate otherwise this will be an account going bankruptcy and no one gets paid! My credit is already in the toilet. she tells me to make sure they get a copy of the bankruptcy filing. So, you may have gotten someone nice, but my first experience– which sets the terms of how you are dealt with– is not a good impression. I will try tomorrow and see if anything changes. I will update this review either way.

I paid my amount owed in full immediately and they’ve been sending further collection letters still four months later. When I speak to them on the phone they say my account is paid. Then ANOTHER letter. Then another phone call. Then ANOTHER letter. FUCK CAINE AND WEINER, they are bucking for a lawsuit. I don’t put up with this garbage.
By the way, they have never even provided evidence of the original amount due.

This company is horrible at dealing with anything! We have faxed them and apparently «haven’t received anything» the issuer company has faxed them saying the bill was paid and they still say nothing has been received! Now we just sent another faxed confirming the bill was paid and apparently there is one single person in their office that retrieves the faxes and that person has left for the day! Seriously??? Why can’t these people just figure it out?! This has been going on for months and still I get phone calls constantly! I have now changed my number…

I bet everyone that has actually owed money to the place where they are in collections and had an okay experience with these folks still wouldn’t leave a positive review because they are too embarrassed.
Well, I’m just learning how to pay all the crazy business things we have to pay in L.A., and missed one of them. I confirmed with the city of L.A. that these folks were legit and that I owed the money + collection fees.
This company comes up all over RipOff report web pages & blogs, so of course I was concerned.
I was also told by the city rep. that often times even if someone has paid a bill if it’s super late it might not get to collections for another month, which makes sense why folks think they are a scam when they have already paid their bill.
The fellow, Don, was very helpful & even sent me an example of the form & made sure I knew all the details to pay this year so it wouldn’t get to this point.
It sucks that people have had crappy experiences, it wouldn’t surprise me, but guess I lucked out (hopefully).

I sued Anthem (see my review of Anthem Blue Cross and watch out for Chris Loftin!) and I didn’t win. (I attribute this to the fact that Chris Loftin is in the courts daily and very friendly with all of the judges. One of the judges asked him for legal advice during our proceedings! She even asked Loftin to stay behind to give her more advice. Totally unethical.)
Anyway, instead of Anthem contacting me directly to settle up, which they did not — at all, never heard from them after the suit — they sent my bill over to Caine & Weiner.
I phoned Caine & Weiner several times. I left a message asking for a breakdown of the charges. That’s fair, right? I wanted to verify I owed what they said I owed. NO ONE returned my calls. That’s just slimey.
For fun, go here:
If Caine & Weiner act slimey with you, you can reach these folks through their email accounts, all are listed online.

collections agency. very pushy. very rude. raised their voice at me over the phone. tried to strong arm and threaten me into paying an erroneous bill that i told him i would have to correct with the issuer but he persisted that it is not in their hands anymore and it doesn’t matter if the original bill was incorrect. incredibly rude representative that i spoke to by the name of Michael.

This company sent out a letter saying they represent Pitney Bowes Inc and they were going to charge me $ 1,000.00 dollars unless they receive an old postage meter. Called Pitney Bowes spoke with a Benjamin call ref #*****0611. Ben said our account is up-​to-​date and they have no contract with Caine & Weiner and to disregard the letter Ben said it is some kind of scam.
Pitney asked for the details on letter and said that they were trying to stop this company. Some business have been talked into giving acct numbers or to send scans of printed postage.
Call Pitney Bowes ASAP if you receive this letter. Benjamin said DO NOT call back or give any information to this company.
