Should I contact or pay Caine & Weiner?
If your account is still with the original creditor, you may want to contact customer service to work out a deal. However, it’s best to avoid speaking to a collection agency on the phone.
If your account has already gone to collections, making payments on the debt will reset the clock. As a result, it could harm your credit rather than improve it. However, sometimes it’s better just to pay the collection account, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.

Wage Garnishment
Some states allow wage garnishment, while others do not. If you are in a state that does not allow wage garnishment, it is illegal for a debt collector to threaten to garnish your wages.
It is also illegal for Caine & Weiner to make any claims they cannot or will not follow through on. This includes threatening to sue you or foreclose on your home.
Is Caine & Weiner hurting my credit score?
Any derogatory item on your credit report, including a collections account, may harm your credit score.
Debt collectors often buy and sell debt from one another. This can lead to multiple collections on your credit report for the same account.
If you don’t dispute each account with the credit bureaus and get them removed, they can damage your credit score.
