Vincent16 Jul 2007- sara23 Jul 2007I have gotten several, several, messages from this number, all asking me to call them back on an important business matter.... The only problem is - they NEVER state who they are affilliated with.... Is this a bogus number or what???? I will NOT pick up the phone for businesses that do not have the decency to list there name on the caller id....
- anonamouse905er23 Jul 2007When I called that number I heard a recording indicating company name as "omnium" (sp?) also mentioned in the recording as the website address http://www.ezdebtpay.com
To me it sounds like a collection agency or something. Just and educated guess since I used to get cryptic and vague messages such as those often at a former employer that filed for bankruptcy. - ThunresBera8 Aug 2007

- anonymous23 Oct 2007Why don't you answer the phone and find out what the call is for? Why are people scared of a phone call. How about calling them back instead of making assumptions? They may just have a wrong number. Like the previous comment states there are laws to protect people that owe money. They are used to protect you. If a collector left a message on an answering machine saying you owe $$$ or if they told someone besides you that you owe $$$, that would be wrong. Instead of complaining on a website maybe you should Google the FDCPA laws.
- educ8td1 Nov 2007I agree with last couple comments. if you pick up the phone or call the # back, you will know why thy are calling. This company handles probate matters regarding deceased people, so they wouldn't be calling abt anyone alive's bills. Come on people wake up!!

- FYI7 Feb 2008I too had a vague message left asking me to call this number back about a very important personal matter, I did call and yes it is a collection agency, glad I called, I had no idea my daughters medical bills had been turned over to an agency, we had been fighting with our insurance company this past year on paying within network verses out of network. Needless to say I was very shocked. Glad the wounderful person "Duh! did note this is a collection company, however I think we could all go without the sarcasm!!
- Unknown25 May 2008Just to let you guys know, West Asset Management formerly known as Omnium Worldwide is 100% LIGIT- No scams, definitely not at all what the comment above me states. They very likely could have the wrong number, don't be afraid to call and let someone know they will REMOVE your phone number! (if it's a wrong number). They follow FDCPA guild lines which includes NOT revealing too much info on an answering machine, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW! Just call it back and if they have business with you then they will let you know more once the proper info is verified first! If not then they remove your phone number. I wont reveal what "kind" of company it is, because if you are getting calls you need to call back and find out for yourself.
- Quahog29 Jul 2008For all you clueless people out there. (Debt Collectors I would bet) Talking to a collection agency over the phone is the worst thing you can do.
Obtain a copy of your credit report/s from Experian, Equifax, Transunion and if you have a collection account being reported DISPUTE IT! Just because it is there or someone is calling you does not mean this agency has a right to collect payment from you. You first need to find out if they do indeed have that right. Send the agency that is reporting a debt validation request send it certified mail return receipt. If they do have a right to collect from you then they should have no issue sending documentation. However if they do not have the right to collect from you then you do not have to pay them. If they fail to respond to your request all collection activity must stop which includes reporting to the credit bureaus. I also want to add that in your letter make sure to tell the collection agency to cease & desist from any further communication unless it is by mail.- Not all collection accounts go to your credit report. West also works 1st party collections and these accounts do not report to credit reports until 90 days after the 1st party process is complete. Consumers should absolutley research any company calling them. Unfortunatley there are companies that scam and have put a sour taste in consumers mouths. When you receive your intial notice and by FDCPA has to notify you of the debt within 30 days. You then have 30 days to request proof of debt. This is printed very clearly on the letter and it is not the agencies responsibilty to provide it if you do not request it. If you have moved and did not supply your creditor a foward address it is not the agencies fault. You can request all calls to stop but it is up to the consumer to follow up on the account. In my months of collecting I have had many customers that never follow up on the account until it is on their credit and they demand it to be remove
Quahog: you are about 75% correct with your post. Your bet was wrong because most consumers are clueless as to what they can and can't do. Some collectors are in the job for the money but some a truly great people that can negotiate a payment arrangement. If people manage their money and live within their means they wont have to talk to a collection agency over the phone.
