I set up a final payment with Charity at West Asset Mgmt, the collection was supposed to be closed and reported as a paid in full. Well ran my report again today and now they have it as a balance due of $46 in collections. This company needs to be stoped and sued. I would gladly be in a suite against them. They lie, they have threatened me and I have told them that they have 30 days before I get an Lawyer!

Considering I have no debt I didn't reply when they left this number to call back:
1-888-302-0858

If they call again the FCC will hear about it.

my mother in law passed away in oct of last year. there is no estate to pay the credit card she had, which was not used after her death. are we still responsible?

No. Send copies of the Death Certificate to all creditors and explain that she left no estate.

This West Asset Management pray on deceased peoples family.
Its discusting what they are doing. They now use blocked phone numbers.

West Asset Management is one of the most dishonest companies that I have ever worked. I set up payment arrangements with them to take care of some old hospital bills. They informed me that if by chance I would not meet the arrangements to call them back to make other arrangement. When I called back I was told that no one has any such conversation with me because I am not a customer and they do not make changes to payment arrangements. My advice to you is not to give them any of your personal account information if you are not 100% sure that you will have the funds.

The address I have is
P.O. Box 790113
St. Louis, MO 63179
Telephone: 1-888-516-3287

I have been dealing with them since 2004, over a old workers compersation claim. I finally got BWC to pay, now West Asset is saying that the don't know what I am talking about.

More on West Asset Management from the indefatigable Bud Hibbs.

For the past two weeks, West Asset Management Company was calling me. Suddenly, they've stopped. I wonder if they've sold it to someone else already.

Possibly, but enjoy the silence for now

The next time they call, politely explain that you don't know the person, politely request that they stop calling, politely verify the phone number (if you are returning the call from a message), if you are getting mail politely explain that too.

Remember, debtors are rude to debt collectors and hang up on them. The more you do that the more it seems you are the actual debtor and are just dodging. If you are polite and the calls don't stop, politely ask for a supervisor or manager, they will help you stop the calls.

Sending a nastygram in writing will only enforce the belief you are the debtor. It may stop the calls, but when the debt is sold or reassigned they will just start again from a new debt colelctor. Sending a polite letter will help break the cycle.

Finally, if you get the calls spaced out by weeks and/or months, they are likely skip-tracing the debtor and finding your information over and over. You probably are connected to the debtor some way, via address or somesuch. Be polite and they will do their best not to waste time calling you. Debt collectors want to collect money, not harass innocents, so if you help them understand that you aren't the debtor, they won't WANT to call you.
