West Asset Mgmt-What debtors think and how you should deal with them

The debt IS mine. I can't pay on it because I lost my job in January, and I'm on unemployment. It's a an overdrawn checking account from Chase. I used to have a small business and I was taking credit cards. I terminated the contract because I wasn't doing any business, and they charged me a $250 early termination fee, which was automatically debited from the checking account.

I had to wait three months for my unemployment checks to start, and by the time I got them, Chase sold the account to the collection agency. If my unemployment had started sooner, I would have been paying down the account, but I was unable to. So whatever collection agency has the account when I get a job, will get payments. If West Asset Management starts calling again, I'll send them a Cease and Desist letter via Certified Mail, Return Receipt. If they persist, I'll sue them in small claims court.

The people who called me today are located in Maryland. There phone number is (443) 205-1012. They must also have affiliates in Texas & Los Angeles as well. You may wish to consider filing a restraining order against them if feasible.

West Asset Management left a harrasing message at my house for someone who sold this house 3+ years ago. They denied (Cindy at 866.882.587 using my address to track down my phone number (different from the debtor's phone number). This company should cease activity such as this that may well be IILEGAL!!!! ...and Cindy should learn better manners and respect for others.

West Asset Management Company has stopped calling me, and I've only received one letter from them. So at this point in time, I don't know what's happening with the debt. Maybe it's been sold to another CA after two weeks of them calling.

If I do get any more calls from CA's, I'll be sending a CD letter.

I highly doubt it

I had a credit card when i was 18 with capital one and it is as a charge off and Portfolio is calling me and stating that they have it now. I need serious help

Send them a Debt Validation letter. There is a good one on this thread, 5th post down. Send them that via Certified Mail, and request a Return Receipt.

I had my number for two years when this company started calling my home. With an automated service. I just hang up when I hear the "Hellooooo!"

I got the number of a business that was closed down (reasons unknown to me), and now I get calls to resolve the final business matters of the "late" Lloyd Keller.

Never met the man, and I won't be seeking out his corpse for resolution. It would be really nice to NOT have to mail a certified letter to get the calls to stop. It's ridiculous. Especially since my number is listed, and it's super easy to go online and verify that I am, indeed, who I claim to be. I don't get paid to do the job that these people are supposed to do.

I will if the calls start to become a real problem, but it's clear that these folks aren't in customer service. My own bill collectors aren't this irritating.

Something like that happened to me twice and I changed my phone number again (and specifically requested a number that had been out of circulation for over 6 months). Then again, I haven't listed my number since 1997 (when that happened the first time). That time, the number belonged to a hospice care that went bankrupt so I had a *lot* of calls.... I don't think they should give commercial numbers to residences...

They just called me from 800-628-1194

I get recorded calls from 240-210-7118 asking me to call them.

After settling on a medical bill with a hospital I found out the hospital had turned it over to west management while we were working on the arangement. We explained to west mgt. that we had paid it and they still demanded the money. We chose just not to pay or pursue and realized just recentlly that this is really hurting us because it is showing up on our credit report! Do I just pay it to get it off my credit report? What to do!!!

Dispute it including a copy of your cancelled check or money order. A receipt for the hospital maybe??

Call the hospital and find out what is going on. Ask them for a record of received payments and compare them to your records. Make a copy of those records, and dispute it with the credit reporting agency.
