West Asset Management

West Asset Management is a bill collector that keeps calling my cell phone and using up my minutes. I did not get any satisfaction from the person named Jessie that I just discussed this problem with. They want to talk with a Michael or Michelle Barbour. West Asset Management's phone number is 903-891-1066 or 877-4717197. My cell phone number is 904-477-9942. I need this to be resolved immediately. My names is Deboral L. Bridgers . Please help me with this problem.

Sincerely,

Deborah L. Bridgers

How do I get them to stop calling??

I too have been receiving many calls from west asset management. They ask for parts of social security numbers and ask to verify birthdates etc on the phone without revealing who they are. There is no way I will give this kind of info out over the phone. I did talk with a person by hitting 0000 and the person was very rude.

When I told him to mail me something (he said they had my address) I was told they would call back when I was more cooperative (I guess that means giving out personal information to strangers over the phone). That won't happen.

Any suggestions from anyone would be helpful. Where do I report them and file a complaint?

i've been receiving these calls almost from when i got the new phone number from att mobile. they are always for a kathleen rippey or ripley. i've received calls when i was travelling overseas for work and had to pay the intl roaming fee on the minutes i wasted with the call.

i have called them back and they have said they would 'block' my number.

this is not the only company looking for this lady. she evidently has a lot of debts with a lot of people.

I finally decided to get a "distinctive ring" fax number in my home with a separate number from my telephone voice line.

Almost immediately, I started getting automatically-dialed "War Dialing" calls on that number from West Asset Mgt, Caller ID 443-550-7975.

They are fishing for "live" auto-answer Fax machine numbers, ostensibly to sell to telemarketers. There is never a person on the other end nor does calling their number ever reach a person. Such automated calling is illegal and I have reported them to the FCC but to no avail so far.

I have just started receiving calls from this company too. I got this new home # about 2 months ago. I have no past-due debts with anyone and am confused as to why they are calling me. I call the number back but fail to ever get a live person. I left a msg to stop calling me, also filed a complaint with the donotcallregistry, they obviously have the wrong number. The auto. msg I receive leaves no info, like name of whom they are trying to reach, etc., so I just hope these calls stop. It is annoying to get these kinds of calls when you are not deserving of them!

I would also like to lodge a claim about this company.After returning home from an extended trip i found no fewer than 30 messages from them each more urgent than the last.

When i phoned them to ask who they were and why they were harassing me,they said they had me confused with someone in Philadelphia (i live in NY) with the same name.I know for a fact NOONE has my name anywhere in the whole world. When I asked again what kind of company they were they HUNG UP on me!!some nerve.When icalled back again immediately noone answered.I am on a no call register and i intend to report them.

West Asset Management regularly violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They harrased my wife and me for debts that we didn't even owe. The original debtor admitted to billing mistakes, and West Asset claimed we had to *prove* to them that we didn't owe the debt--which is against the law. Further, we asked them for documentation that we owed the debt, and they responded that they didn't have to give us any documentation (again, against the law). We also told them that we did not owe the debt and to stop calling us, which they refused to do, also a against the law. Furthermore, they refused to give us any information about the alleged debts, except for the amounts owed, which (after a ton of research on part) we learned was very inflated (on the order 5-7 times the amount of the original billing mistake as reported to them). They also issued threats, divuldged personal information to 3rd parties, used decpetive statements, and refused to accurately identify themselves. They've also claimed that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not apply to them, nor to us.

West Asset Management is a crooked organization... Best of luck trying to get them to obey the law....
