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

I have this number for West Asset Management. They are calling the Senior Service Employmnet Program I am with and trying to get my Social Security number.

I received 4 calls on my new company cell phone over the last 4 weeks. They ask for someone I do not know. I have only had this phone for about 2-3 months. Every time I asked to not be called again. At this latest call I asked if this was a debt collection call, and was told it was not. I finally looked up the company and found out who it was and called back. When I called, the person who answered immediately put me on hold. The person who finally answered said they would remove my number. Now that I have this well documented, including call times and a few names, if I get another call, I will be sending a cease and desist and complaints to whatever agencies are applicable.

For those who may care, the calling numbers are 410-968-7961 and 716-213-4502.

Thanks for the nice site.

Yup at it again with a debt already paid. Can't wait to contact the bar associations of the states where they do business.

It is West Asset management. Called today. Looked up Asset West Management on Google. See many lawsuits against West Asset Management here, see web link below. The lawsuits are for Fair Debt Collection Act.

We are enrolled in a debt management program. We have been paying West Asset Management $119.00 every month since March of 2002. The original company agreed to the proposal from our debt management folks and then turned us over to West Asset Management.We have sent certified letter after letter to these people and have made phone call after phone call to try and get them to tell us how much we owe. The original debt was around $5000.00 and according to our figures,we have over paid them. Recently our debt management company tried to notify them and get information for us but West Asset told them that they would only disclose that info to the primary account holder. The Statutes of Limitation for our state is 6 years. Since West Asset Management refuses to tell us or our debt management folks anything,can you offer advice on how we can deal with them. The thing is,we only have WAM and one other to pay off and we're done.We feel like we have already way over paid them but feel lost as to what we can do. SO,please,if you can help,we would so appreciate your advice. I sincerly think West Asset Management needs to be turned over to someone in the federal system because none of this makes any sense.Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! We hope you can help!

Hello,

Receiving messages from West Management looking for someone who is managing my deceased grandmother's affairs. Do I just ignore, do I try to get off of their contact list, or do I try and get info?

They call me every so often. Will not send billing to substantiate the bill that is in another persons name. I told them not to call. If they call me again I told them I will call them every day and waste their time and money. I am retired.
Arrogant and ignorant people. Georgia should do something about this company.

Are you the executor of your grandmother's estate?

If yes:

Send them a letter, certified mail, return receipt requested. In that letter, advise them that your dearly departed grandmother is, in fact, dearly departed. Tell them that you will accept mail at the address on your letter. Further advise them that they are not to contact you by telephone. Then hit them with a demand for validation. Offer to sue them if they persist in their folly.

If no:

Send them a letter, CM/RRR. Advise them that you are not the person they are seeking. Follow that with a demand (not a request) that they immediately cease and desist from any and all contact with you regarding this matter. Again, offer to sue if they continue to pester you.

Thanks, wulf. Hope this takes care of it.

Give them a forwarding address of the cemetary....they will get the point.

i pulled my credit report and found that my insurance company did not pay a hospital bill.so i called the collector to try and get an address to pay the bill,this ca wanted to know everything but where to send the money too.i got mad and went off on him. i truly want to get this off my credit report so how can i do so without chokeing him through the phone

Hello Nelly my wife and I just recieved a call from W.A.M. They claim to be contacting us to reach our uncle in regards to a student loan from the late seventies.Should we send them a cease and desist letter?

Rather than just paying it, I suggest that you come down on your insurance company like a hammer. Find out why they didn't pay it. Then make them not only pay it, but deal with the collector and fix the damage to your credit report. There's no reason why you should get yourself in an uproar over it.

West Asset Management is not a credit reporting agency. The original creditor did this damage, and you as well for not paying your bill.

scram humanoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
