EASTERN ASSET MANAGEMENT AKA ETHICAL ASSET MANAGEMENT

Sorry Chrys...I'll have to disagree with you on that one. There's nothing in the FDCPA to support a limited C&D. It's an all or nothing statute and they can ignore the "no contact by phone" completely or consider it a full cease comm.

I was helping my daughter out with her debt due to loss of her job and I sent them $500 end of Feb first of March. Now they call and say they are sueing her because of no more payments being received. Can they do that and also I offered to settle and they act like they just want more more. Mine you the bill was $729.00 and now it's in the thousands. They call threatening to tell my daughter to have her drivers license ready and that they are filing litigation proceedings and won't call me back.

I can only suggest what I would do in the same situation, and that is what I would do, besides changing my number.

it's Friday, they have called but I didn't answer my cell number or work number.

i got a call today from the jon nicolia office called the guy back and the guy i spoke with told me that i was going to jail for 10 years and that the judge was going to throw me in jail and he told me what the amount was and when i got a copy of my credit report the amount was totally different can some body please let me know what is going on i'm totally freaking out big time.

they are threatening illegaly.debts are civil matters not criminal ones.is eastern on your credit report as either the CA or the creditor?either way they are breaking the law speaking to you like that.send a DV and C&D letter.send them certified mail return receipt and don't speak top them again.

I got a call from these guys on tuesday for the first time in my life, asking me to pay a debt from 2003. talked to a mr hagman and after doing some research found out his name is timothy hagman. he told me if i dont give 2000 they are taking me to court. he told me even though my debt was small it still worst for me because i live in the state of pa and they will let him garnish my wages by 35%. Well that shows how much he knows because in the state of pa your wages can be garnish for five things only and credit card debt is not one of them. what they could do is put a levy on my bank acct, but if i dont have a bank acct or stop money from going to my bank acct their out of luck. I checked my credit report the next day and found out that their not even on my credit report as a debt but their on there as an inquiry. so they pulled up my credit report claiming for debt collection reasons and I dont even think i owe them anything, plus the sol in my state is 4yrs. I found out If I can get them harrasing me on tape I can report them and they will have to pay me $1000!

Best of luck to you :wink:

THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A WEBSITE!!! SO NOT LEGIT!!!

I don't know about that, but they sure love getting sued.
"http://dockets.justia.com/search?q=Eastern+Asset+Management%2C+LLC"

I wish I could figure out how to post this at the top of the first page accessed about this company.

If this company was a legitimate debt collector utilizing actual legal representation, they would be following the law to the letter. Instead, they have several federal lawsuits pending against them. Please review below.

I am about to file one of my own against them for calling my grandmother who resides in a nursing home. They threatened to have the sheriff's department evict her for non payment of my DEAD brothers unpaid dept. A debt, mind you, which was rendered null and void 5 years ago by an issuance of the death certificate, as per state law.

This company is definitely a strong armed bottom feeder using illegimate and UNethical means to extort money from anyone they can.

BEWARE!!!!

Ethical Asset Management Are Scam Artist Don't even talk to them.

In my opinion. this company is nothing but a bunch of scam artist.Don't even bother talking to them. :twisted: :evil:

These bozos said they were taking me to court for a debt I sttled years ago which they said they now had -- but I had proof of settlement!, I sent a letter to the attorney general. Gonna nail 'em to the wall because they broke all kinds of state and federal laws, I love it!

Excellent! Collect your $1000!

(Not excellent that they treated you wrongly, but excellent that you are going to hold them accountable!)

well as a matter of fact i happen to work for this company in ny. and yes this is a highly credential company. we work for the attorney john nicolia. he purchases the rights to debts and we work for him trying to help debtors either eliminate their debt and keep them out of court. its our job and we deal with just as many retards that waste their time thinking this company isnt real. no we are not a collections company in fact if you have spoken with people from our company most of the time we even lower the debts by hundreds or thousands same both parties time and money and keeping them out of court. and not only that but if you owe money to a company after they have provided you with goods and services and you do not pay them back shame on you, thats stealing and you should be in court in the first place. dont borrow or spend money you dont have if you have no intentions on paying it back.[font=Tahoma][/font][font=Verdana][/font][color=DarkBlue][/color][size=3][/size]

:roll: Yet another collector with reading comprehension difficulties....

i started receiving phone calls back in about january. they are trying to make me pay for a credit card bill i already paid off 4 years ago. now they are threatening to garnish my wages, but until i actually hear from this mr. nicolai, or whatever his name is, or an official associated with the court system, i'm not giving them a cent. i think they are scammers looking to make some money by bullying people around.

Truth be told they called me about the supposed debt of a relative. The relative NEVER had a credit card with the company they said he did. They claimed the debt was $7000 from 2000 and that the county court had issued a summons for my relative. We called the court, they knew nothing about it.
I believe if you have debt you should pay it. But not to these low-rent scam-artists who buy old debt for pennies on the dollar in hopes of collecting for a profit for themselves. It's companies like these and banks like Providian, Washington Mutual etc who lend money to people who can't afford it that have put us in the economic mess we're in!!
As an aside, I suspect Guest above who is extolling the efforts of the collection agency is actually a member of that agency lurking around and watching for posts to respond to. Go out and get a real job like the rest of us!

to Sara 6589466:
Your "boss" made a decision in bad economic times to purchase bad debt already written off by credit card companies, banks etc. He must have lots of money in order to do that or he's just too dumb.
Aside from that my relative did NOT have debt with the company your collection agency (legal offices don't behave as badly as your team does, and generally can write in proper syntax) said they did. Yet they managed to have some personal information about my relative, me, my ex husband, my relative's ex etc. This tells me they have access to personal credit card application information (illegally??) and I want to know just how they got it since my name came up. I don't have a debt problem, in fact I have a credit score over 750. You guys are a low-rent bottom feeding collect agency with a team of rude, moronic petty thieves. Give it up and get a real job.

I have been receiving threatening calls from these guys for the last 3 days. I had my lawyer call them this afternoon and they claimed they were going to subpoena me for a unpaid credit card balance to the tune of $3000. Too bad that I know that is absolutely untrue because I DO NOT use credit cards, in fact I haven't had one since I was 18!! I deal only with cash and my debit card, I have to borrow my boyfriends Visa card if I ever need one for anything. Don't trust these people, they are most definently scammers or bottom feeders. Its too weird the way that they went about this whole "case" for one thing, they called me on my cell phone, and I've never given that out to anyone but friends. You'd think that if they were legit then they would do this in a professional and courteous manner, and also, over a land line since that's the preferred method of contact by most credit card companies. Be careful,everyone.

to the person who works for this scam company . . . if you think that for one minute I am going to give bank info, personal info or any other info to someone all the way in NY think again. . .send it by mail (if you have original documents with signature, nothing made up by your office) or leave me the H alone. OR CAll everyday if you want. . .don't bother me none. My lawyer loves stuff like this. . .

Seriously

this company keeps calling our number looking for someone else

Joe Cicero called me a liar when I attempted to explain to him that they had the wrong number, I tried to explain it to him and he started screaming at me and saying i can't help you if you are going to lie. When I called back to speak to a supervisor the 'receptionist' who i assume was sucking on Mr. Cicero at the time told me she'd transfer me to Mr. McClain. Mr. McClain sounded exactly like Mr. Cicero and then....THEY HUNG UP.

So now I'm calling them as much as I possibly can. This has been going on for weeks, THEY HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER!

Tell them to Cease & Desist calling you. File a complaint with the FCC. Call your phone company and inquire about having the number blocked. If they have the wrong number, don't engage them, they do not know how to behave in a reasonable manner so they should be treated exactly as you treat any crank caller.

I was made to think my daughter would be arrested if she did not send in the money. That was before we found out this was not legitimate. What can do about getting our money back?

You will likely not get it back, unless it wasn't your debt and you sue them.

This company not only called and left a message on my fathers answering machine with very detailed information when I call them back they claimed to have left a message with a person on 7/23 at 3:15pm which is very interesting. You see in order for hem to have left a message with a person my dog must have been talking because there is no one in the house at that time of day. Everyone is at work.

You can find out a lot about this company at budhibbs.com
There is so much information up there about that company

That eastern management company is doing the same thing to me! My mom called because they threaten to send me to the DA for a payment I arranged stupidly and could not make. Now I am worried that they have my information and can access my funds. I talked with a Mr. Sparalli or something of that nature. They are my credit report as someone that looked at my credit but I do not show a debt with them and they have never sent me a letter with what I owe. I started with a ms. anderson too and now I am dealing with an even worse guy, Please advise me

This person does not exist - I checked with the NY Bar and there is no one by the name of John Nicolia who is a member. This company is using illegal tactics to collect debts. Just tell them to piss off and send them a cease communications notice.

I just got a call from these people, and i asked them for the name of the company in which the debt was owed, and he gave it to me, but when i looked it up there is no record of it anywhere. They have threatened to sue and revoke my licence, but they will not give me any documentation, papers files or anything, they claim they do not have any of it. But I was told by them that they do buy debts from lenders and try to collect on them.

To Eastern Asset Management:

You should be so fortunate that the FBI or whichever governing U.S. agency shuts you down at minimum. Since you have so much information on the rest of America, why not on you. Its ok to be paranoid.

is this credit card debit

Hi all, I got a call from these people back in Jan of 09 and they threatened to file a suit then. It is now August and I just got a call today pertaining to the same case. They threatened to file a suit against me if I did not pay them what I owe, which started out at $2500 then went to $1500 then down to $1200 and now at a very low payment of $900. I find it very odd that my debt of $2500 went all the way down to $900. I do owe this company that they are talking about. But, when I tried to verify that Eastern Asset Management was or is a legitimate company the BBB (Better Business Bureau) claimed that they did not have any listing of an Eastern Asset Management. I know that I owe this debt. I just do not want to pay them for it. I would rather pay the company or whomever they sold my case to. I asked Eastern Asset if they could mail me some kind of legal info pertaining to this and they said that they could not. I also asked if they could give me the number to the service that I owe money to and they said that they could not. I honestly do not know what to do. I know that this might be a scam. But, then again it might be the real deal; any advice? By the way if you would like to check on this business you can go to the Better Business Bureau's website. here is their info. The address Mr. Coleman (chief investigating officer for attorney John Nicolia) gave to me over the phone is 3990 McKinley parkway suite 4 Blasdell, New York 14219. But, on my email that he sent to me it has this address: PO Box 588 Amherst, 14226.

send a DV letter to both addresses.send them certified mail return receipt.they are not legit.anyolace that doesn't or won't send at least a dunning letter is not legit in the least.

I have told these guys to go ahead and take legal action. They still havent instead they called my boyfriends parents and told them that i am a criminal. They have used offensive language twards me and my boyfriend. I have saved every rude message they left me and I am recording every conversation we have on the phone. They are bottom feeders that are breaking laws and harassing as a hobby or something. When they first called me they told me I could pay $3500 in 48 hours and my debt would be wiped clean... I didnt do it and then they said that they would file a judgement against me in my city. I called they city and they said not to worry and that they have no paperwork under my name what so ever. They are liars and I really feel sorry for them and anyone who has fallen for their BS

Take that evidence and sue them in Federal court for flagrant FDCPA violations.The FDCPA will grant you $1000 plus possible court costs and attorney fees, so you should be able to find an attorney to take the case pro bono.

I too have had these idiots call me...and my in-laws...telling them too that I am a criminal wanted...now I can set the record straight, but yeah right!! I do owe a bill from years ago...and so I should have known better to not send them 100.00 bucks...but live and learn...I just wrote a long letter to them and if they call again...which I don't think they will!! Until they can provide proof of affadavits, I am not answering them!! I too have requested documents...and no papers yet..and I even told them my lawyer would like to see them...which he would...do you think I should still call the State attorney's office in New York?? I'm in Minnesota....

Eastern Asset Management and it's affiliate John Nicolia are in the FTC as a Company that breaks the law, there is a law firm that is filing a class action against this company and it's wanna be attornies.......all I have to say is "ROT IN HELL" you worthless scum I tell you what!

They called me stating they would suspend or revoke my DL if I don't pay. They told me it is clearly written on the original contract of my payday loan that they could do that to my license. Is this true?

no it isn't true.just another threat by a bottomfeeder.

They told me if i didnt pay i would have to go to court in ny and possibly face jail time. They also said that sheriffs here in la would serve me papers as well and suspend my dl.

I Got a Call from Eastern Assets Management concerning a Debt from Feb 2003 they claim they been calling and mailing me information concerning the debt which I never Received. They was harassing me telling me they were filing a lawsuit and that I would be subpoena if I didn't give them my account information and pay my debt in full today in the amount of $700. I said No and they called me an "Ignorant Stupid Bitch" and I told them to pay the debt for me and I would pay him back. He was yelling saying that he have a family to take care of I said oh really I didn't know. So I got on the computer an google these bastards and they are scammers so I just wanted to share my story about he SCAMMERS SO BEWARE!!!!

[COLOR=Black]HELLO I received a Phone call today from Mr. Casey a worker for Eastern Asset Management llc and they was threatening to sue me from a old debt I was acting as if I didn't understand so that they can try an negotiate something else he transferred me to his Senior Executive he claim whose name is "Joseph Cicero" that bastard is so Disrespectful he will not allow you to talk and once he get frustrated with you he will let you speak to Calvin Woodfield they are all fakes and scammers when they call your residence the Caller ID will say Hamburg, NY (716-312-0822) but the Toll Free number to them is 888-346-3978. Please be alarm dont let this men scare you up because they will try an they would put on the voice as if it will be intimidating to try an make you give them account information and they are just going to try an garnish your money when you really done paid off your debt or its either charged off. Another thing they will mention is they are in a meeting with an attorney thats handling your case which is not true from me to you tell them to subpeona and I bet they will not contact you again[/COLOR]

These people called me and the man cursed me, called me trailer trash, and then had the nerve to look up my parents and start giving me hell about their business, which has nothing to do with me. I tried to get his name and he wouldn't give me a real name, I told him I'd file a complaint and then he told me no one would care what a disabled girl who didn't pay her bills would say. These people are horrible. I've never been spoken to like this in all my 26 years. And all this after I tried talking nicely to them!
