How to check a Caine & Weiner entry against your own records

  1. Find the validation notice. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g(a), a debt collector must send a notice within five days after it first contacts you to collect the debt. The notice gives the amount, the creditor, and your right to dispute the debt within 30 days. It does not have to send one if its first message already gave this information or if you have paid the debt. A court complaint in a lawsuit does not count as that first contact. Neither does a tax, privacy, or data-breach notice that the law requires.
  2. Identify the creditor. Write down the creditor the notice names, and match it to a bill or policy you actually had with that company.
  3. Compare the details. Check the balance, the account or service dates, and any payments against your own bills, receipts, and statements.
  4. Compare all three reports. Check whether the same account appears in the same way at each credit bureau, and note every difference.
  5. Note the contact details. The disclosures page says to send requests for validation or for the original creditor's name to PO Box 55848, Sherman Oaks, CA 91413. It lists the main phone number as 818-902-4255.

How to dispute an inaccurate Caine & Weiner entry

  1. Dispute in writing within 30 days of the validation notice. A timely dispute stops collection of the disputed amount until the collector obtains verification and mails you a copy. You can also ask in writing for the original creditor's name and address. A timely request stops collection of the debt until the collector answers it (15 U.S.C. 1692g(b)).
  2. Dispute with each credit bureau that shows the error. The bureau must reinvestigate within 30 days (45 at most if you send relevant information during that time or dispute after a free annual report) and tell the furnisher within 5 business days. It must delete or modify an item it finds inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable (15 U.S.C. 1681i(a), 1681j(a)(3)).
  3. Expect a furnisher investigation. After the bureau notifies the furnisher, it must investigate and correct, delete, or block an item it finds inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable (15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(b)).
  4. Check the disputed status. If you tell the furnisher directly that the information it reports is inaccurate or incomplete, it may not report that information again without a note that you dispute it (15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(a)(3)).
  5. Keep copies. Keep every letter you send and every response you receive, with the dates.

These rules require an investigation. They do not promise a particular result. For the same rights applied to other companies, see the collection account guides.
