In fall 2014, Caine & Weiner ( C & W ) contacted me about collecting a debt associated my previous employer. After receiving the initial communication from C & W, I sent a letter in response requesting full documentation of the debt in question, since it was unclear on what the debt was and why it was being collected. C & W responded by providing some information, but not enough to explain the debt. 

On XXXX/XXXX/14, I requested additional information and, after receiving no response for several weeks, called C & W to inquire about the status of my request. My call was returned by a C & W employee who indicated that he had no intention of providing any additional documentation, despite the obvious lack of support for the debt. Further, the employee 's tone was hostile and threatening. 

I have since been discovered that Caine & Weiner has also taken action with several credit reporting companies including XXXX, and XXXX with regards to the account. 

The fact that Caine & Weiner knowingly ignored my request for additional documentation while simultaneously reporting negative information to credit reporting companies constitutes a clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
