West Asset Management - Key complaints and the ways to deal with them

good reply guest.maybe sherrish will take this opportunity and try to get a decent recoveries position.not all collectors or collection agencies are bottomfeeders.

443-550-7975

Here are just a few of the numbers that this company calls from. I get about 4 calls a day from them starting at around 7am cst all the way up to 10pm.

903-891-1102 607-321-0205 866-882-5879 866-882-5878 870-772-1835 870-216-4090 732-982-3947 443-550-7974 434-878-9980 201-210-6127 410-968-7961 201-210-6114 201-210-6117 214-233-7246 201-210-3618 443-550-7973 703-291-9028 443-550-7979 210-586-0050 443-550-7975 888-516-3287 703-398-0002 757-209-2013 804-234-9027

They tell me every time they call that they are going to file suit against me for school loans I owe and that if I do not send them money or set up post dated payments they will garnish my wages.

Are these student loans federal or private? If they were Federal, then garnishment is a definate possibility.

They are federal, and yes they already have the garnishment and have had it for over 7 months now, they also have got my income tax for 2 years, yet they still call every day and threaten me with garnishment.

Log all the calls your are recieving, the calls prior to 0800 and after 2100 are violations. Also, start recording the calls. Is West the company that is actually garnishing or was it imposed by the DOEd?

These guys have called my home for 8 days in a row after 9pm at night many many times...I have told them each time it is after 9 pm but they just continue to talk with no regard. I have sent a certified letter to stop the calling but they continue to do so

SUE THEM!!!

+1. You may well have to sue to get them to sit up and pay attention.

phone #7033980001 you can most likely run that number up from there 0001-0500?

i've been picking up and hanging up on them for 2yrs now b/c it didn't matter how many times i explained to the rep that the person they were looking for wasn't here...they kept calling...at ALL hours. so now during the day i just let it ring to VM...today they left a call back # so I used that and told the rep that answered the story and she put our phone number on a blocked list.

This company calls my house 5 times a day every day and they never leave a message. The number that shows up on my caller id is 804-234-9027 which I tried calling back but I get a fast busy signal. I did some research and found they are a collection agency but I am not in collections so I do not know what they want. A MESSAGE WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!

WEST ASSET MANAGEMENT IS A TERRIBLE COLLECTION AGENCY.
MY HUSBAND SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH AND THEY DIDNT UNDERSTAND HIM.
I KNOW MY HUSBAND IS NOT GEORGE BECAUSE I'M MARRIED WITH (HIM)JOHN SINCE 1983.

OK...as to phone number...here's the deal. They call from ONE number, leave another number for you to call them back, but NEITHER are working numbers! You get a message that says you have reached WAM, then are promptly disconnected. I have written the letters, called the FCC, done it all. They STILL call me asking for "whoever handles the affairs of the late..." and it is someone I have never even heard of. All the letters in the world don't seem to stop these people! Here are the #s I have received. Perhaps someone can investigate? I have tried all I can...
1-866-597-4781 and... 1-866-497-4778

West Asset Management called me repeatedly at 4 am, and then sent offensive text messages to my phone at odd hours, including one that said: "Hell na niga." I'm considering a lawsuit.

I have been paying West Asset Management and I do not see my bill decreasing. I don't want to call because all they do is keep you on hold and try to bully you into something that you cannot keep. How do I get a financial copy of my payments/balance?

I received a letter that they have consolidated payment centers at West Asset Management, Attn: Payment Processing, 7171 Mercy Road, Suite 200, Omaha NE 68106.
Is this correct?

these people keep leaving messages...I know they are a solicitor because I don't owe any bills to anyone. They leave a number to call 1-866-597-4781 How do I stop their calls.
Anyone who needs to contact me has my address and writes me a letter. Obviously they don't.

Why dont yall find out the facts about west asset before ya'll start writing crap and trash like this...Edited by Shazzers, personal attacks against TOS rules.

This company calls me numerous times a day. They are trying to collect a debt from my deceased (3 yrs) spouse. The Estate was probated long ago and had no assets, was basically insolvent (if that's the right word). Now yrs later they call constantly leaving message for the person handling the affairs of the late (spouse). I haven't called them back and really don't want to deal with this. It's a constant reminder of the loss and every time I hear my late spouses name on their message it leaves me sick to my stomach. Without having to speak with them is there anything I can do to make them go away?

Unfortunately the only was to get them off your back is to contact them. Send them a C&D letter giving them all the information and tell them never to contact you again.

i got a call today was a recording, to the person handeling the account of my late husband he aint dead.

Funny I just read something about a debt collector sending out thousands of letters stating they where collecting on dead people.

Read about it here and maby do the same with the letter that he has there, just format it to your needs.

budhibbs.com/deceased.htm

well author.if someone does send a C&D letter to this bottomfeeder and they still call.then they can get sued for fdcpa violations every time they call.how about that GENIUS!!

Note to Worker27, you apparently work for or own interest in West Asset Mgmt if you have anything positive to say about them. In fact, you even sound like the idiot at West that I talked to yesterday. Disgusting piece of Trash!

Note to paulmergel....Yes sure they can be sued for it...BUT DO YOU SEE IT HAPPENING IDIOT!??

well since they see paying 3,000.00 in a fdcpa suit as a cost of doing business.how do you know it isn't happening.keep up the namecalling and you will be deleted.got it?

I was contacted by West Asset Management yesterday and the number I was given to cal was 888-999-2156.

I was contacted today by them, but it was a recording for me to call them back at 866 822 8878. They called me at work too, which I believe is illegal in TX. Funny thing is that I just cleared up my credit 2 years ago...evidently there are some companies out there hurting from the financial crisis and are looking to collecting debt in illegal manners and even on the dead to make the payments on their expensive homes and cars.

Do a google search to find the names of all the execs, search:

david lippman west asset

It also has a phone number listed (310-966-8900) at their posh office in LA (on Wilshire blvd), I am going to figure out a way to forward their calls to that number as well just like one of the previous posts did.

What illegal means are you referring too? An unpaid debt is collectible until paid. You stated yu cleared up your credit. Did you pay the debt that WAM is collecting on?

I don't know what debt they are collecting on. I don't answer recorded phonecalls...that would be responding to phishing. They can mail whatever litigation or claim that they may have. Either way I have never heard of them and owe them nothing. If they allegedly bought some debt that I allegedly owe, that is not my problem. That is basic debt law, you only owe the original creditor, nobody else. I have practiced that for years while paying off my debts. There is nothing they can do unless you empower them by verifying your information with them. debt collectors operate on a thin line of true legality and the common misconception of legality.

It appears that WAM is also one of the largest 401k Managers:

47 Metropolitan West Asset Management LLC

11766 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1500

Los Angeles, CA 90025

Unfortunately, those rights can be assigned from the Original Creditor to a subsequent debt purchaser. Might go back and hit th ebooks a bit more Dude

Sure they can, but not without your knowledge or offiicial notification. Otherwise anyone with the slightest knowledge of your debt can call, claim to be someone they aren't, ask you for your information that they should already have, and then ask you to remit payment. 7/10 people fall for it, which is what keeps certain debts collectors in business. Threats of lawsuit are always tossed out, but unless you owe more than a certain amount, they will only pursue for so long.

E-Books? No. It is called a lawyer. Weren't you the one keeping folks from bashing on others in earlier posts? Why are you hating on my comments? Odd behaviour from an admin.

Quote:

West Asset Managment has various offices across the US. The Gov't Services Group has 4 locations, there is Fredericksburg VA, Marrieta GA, Mobile AL and Warsaw NY. The Sherman address above is for the Medical Collections I do beleive. BTW, West still services the DOE and just won a contract from them again.

West Asset Mgt called my elderly mother today about a medical bill that is past due which she has been paying on. They threatened to run her credit and then pull money if they find she has any in her bank account. Is that not illegal? There is no injunction or court order against her, just a less than 90day past due hospital bill. When did we revert to criminalizing people for debt? Especially in this economy. I thought debtor laws were purposely made less restrictive because many immigrants to this country had been jailed in debtors prison. I know I am an historian and not a hacker but this made me want to crash their computer system and mess with a few people's credit reports myself. I usually don't feel that way either.

This has to be the number one least professional company on the planet. They REFUSE to provide a copy of the alleged bill they are attempting to collect. They refuse to listen. They say that they don't buy junk dept. They want me to prove that I don't owe the dept they are trying to collect, but they have to be uneducated morons because they WILL NOT SHOW ME THE DEBT or disclose much info about it. I said, "show me a bill that shows the services that were provided to me and I will pay." THEY REFUSED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I take their calls on bad days to elevate stress. If they want to hear me vent they can call when ever they want. Talk about absurd. If they call you, don't waste your time. They like to act scary and powerful and they like to throw things out like "they are a billion dollar company." They can't hurt you. Just send the letter and record away if they keep calling. I, by shear luck, had my attorney at my home tonight when they called. I put West ASSet on speaker. When the call ended all my attorney could say was, "Now there's a company who knows how to put money in my pocket." We laughed.

The # I keep seeing is: 1-443-550-7975 with the West Asset Mgt. name.

answer2all, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! BLOWING SMOKE!!

For maximum damages AS ALLOWED BY THE fdcpa, as well as SUING THE OWNERS, GENERAL MANAGERS AND STAFF for PUNITIVE DAMAGES ''for Mental and emotional stress, ALL THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS and anxiety THEY HAVE CAUSED YOU,

Just remember folks, CORPORATIONS are "legal ficticious entities" and cannot act without an individual causing it to act".....so go after the "individuals" as well....preferably the owners by name, CEO, PRESIDENT, OFFICERS, etc.

i deleted the troll spew from answer2all.

You beat me to it

No...he deleted it because you're a Troll! Why not go to the InsideARM if you want to vent?

let's delete some more shall we?sorry nascar,but the troll is bye-bye.

Address it to the CEO, All Officers, Management and Staff,

Advise them to either comply with your request for accurate, and complete VALIDATION of the 'alledged debt" in accordance with all FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS as well as the fdcpa, or you intend to sue not only the company, but each individual in authority at the company and hold the company and each individual both corporately and individuallly liable for continued harassment and inflicting mental and emotional distress.

Hey this has worked for me ! Sometimes you only get their attention by threating to get into their "personal back pockets"

Call Dean Malone, Attorney, Dallas, Texas. He will most likely get you a settlement. Strictly consignment. West Asset harrased me for years over a false debt. They had to pay dearly. Dean Malone is very familiar with West Asset. Also, reference West Asset at Ripoff Report.com
