Keeps on calling.  I don't owe anyone or anything!  They are asking for someone I don't know.

Mystery hang up calls. Never leave message. Non functional call back number

Received multiple calls from this number, asking for someone I haven't ever heard of! I guess they must be special and didn't understand when they were told the first 5 times!

Please stop calling me at my work number

This is one of many numbers that West Asset Management uses and one of
multiple Cities they call from.   These people are the slime that other
bottom feeders feed on.  To verify that just search on them, (dont snope it,
they are almost as UN-reliable as West Asset is slimy ! )  You will find lots of
reports on their tactics and ethics.

dear west asset mgmt - please eat many bags of monkey schlongs, and then die the most painful death possible after seeing your loved ones do the same.  i do include line level workers in this.  you have no excuse to be employed by scum of the earth, and you are just as nasty a human being as the worst of the worst, as far as i am concerned.  your only redemption shall be from quitting ASAP.

201-383-4869 calls me constantly

A leading debt collection company has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $2.8 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that its aggressive collection techniques violated federal law. As part of its efforts to protect consumers affected by the struggling economy, the FTC alleged that West Asset Management, Inc. violated the FTC Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

According to the FTC’s complaint, thousands of consumer complaints have been filed against West Asset Management Inc., which employs 1,500 debt collectors in 13 states and one offshore location. West Asset Management debt collectors allegedly violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by calling consumers multiple times each day, often regarding accounts that did not belong to them, and sometimes using rude and abusive language. The FTC further charged that West Asset Management also illegally disclosed the existence of consumers’ debts to third parties and ignored consumers’ written demands that West Asset Management stop calling them.

The company also allegedly withdrew funds from consumers’ bank accounts or charged their credit cards without consent and falsely claimed that consumers would be sued, arrested, or have their property seized for nonpayment of their debt. In addition, the FTC alleged that West Asset Management falsely claimed that partial payments would be accepted as full settlement on accounts and that negative information would stay on consumers’ credit reports until debts were paid. According to the complaint, West Asset Management has collected on more than 24 million accounts on behalf of clients in the healthcare, telecommunications, consumer credit, and government service industries.

Call numerous times but never leaves a message.  Wish I knew how to stop these annoying calls.

These people knew the exact amount of my social security check. Wanted to know if I had a mortgage and how much it was. Presumably the amount being asked for is due to a hospital bill that did not turn charges in to my medi-gap insurance. They even have the wrong medi-gap Insurance company listed.When I stated they had the wrong insurance company listed, she stated that I ought to give her all of the information on the insurance card. These people call several times  day. I always answer.Smells like fraud.

I receive multiple calls from this number daily,. They never leave a message, and I never answer a number I do not recognize.  How do I stop these calls?  I do not have any debts they could be calling about. Extremely annoying!!

Call numerous times but never leaves a message.  How can Istop these annoying calls.

they call multiple times daily for someone that does not live here.  they are rude and say I am lying.  They are fricken nuts!  They keep calling because they know the FTC does not enforce the "DO NOT CALL" list.  I no longer answer the phone.  If Congress wants cuts to the budget start with the FTC.  They are useless.  I own my home, have excellent credit with a nice nest egg $$$ and a pie in the sky pension.  In other words I owe no one.

Called at 1:58pm 2/13/2015, 1:24pm 2/11/2015, 5:07pm 2/9/2015.  I do not answer if I don't know who is calling.  I have no debt.

One thing that many people don't know about debt collectors is that they purchase unpaid debts for just pennies on the dollar that is owed and then collec the entire amount  of the original debt.  It is profitable but I see them as bottom feeders.
As soon as I moved to my present address ten years ago I got a new phone number.  I started getting many calls for a certain woman from at least three collectors.  I still got calls up to the first week of January this year (2015).  I answered that one and gave the caller a piece of my mind and told him in a very loud voice this is not her number and I'd be looking to the possibility of filing a lawsuit.

Block the number

What is the name

Really! These idiots can get away with breaking laws  Ridiculous. If anyone did there job at stopping this so called company. Maybe America would be Great again. Time to let our Great President Donald Trump a tweet on this.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.59 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

In any event,

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.
