West Asset Management, Inc calls from this number.

I have received several phone calls from West Asset Management.
The first is a recorded message to call them about a debt collection.
888-662-7547
When I called the number, without an introduction, the person answering the call asked to speak to someone named Ophelia.
I explained that there was nobody here by that name and could they please not call me again.
Before I could complete my request the person hung up.
I called back hoping to speak to someone to complete my request. I was told that I would be put on the do not call list and again, before I could complete my questions to them they hung up.
I called again and decided not to pursue the issue any further and hung up the phone.
Within less than a minute I received another call from the same individual who claimed his name was Mr. Briggs again asking to speak to an Ophelia.
I told him again that there was nobody by that name here and I was angry that he was calling me again about this.
He said he called because I hung up on him twice.
I explained that I did not want to pursue the issue and that I hung up immediately after I dialed.
He again said I called and hung up twice and implied that I was lying.
He was disrespectful and rude. He was trying to upset me through argument.
When I told him he was disrespectful he said "I'm an adult and your an adult, goodbye" and again hung up.
I have absolutely no business with this company and they appear to be fishing at my expense.
If you search for my phone number which they called you get nothing but references to my business.
I suspect that this is not the first time they have called this number to fish for a debtor. but only have a record of this particularly annoying and frustrating series of events
I was harassed and I did not even have a debt that they needed to collect.

The company is West Asset Management
The caller identified himself as Mr. Briggs.

We received a call, well, a voice message, on our system from over the weekend.  The message seemed automated, but left the number for us to call back about "our accout number" and it gave an account number which matched nothing we have.

Be WARNED - if you RECEIVE calls asking for information about your accounts, DO NOT GIVE IT OUT - they HAVE the information if they are your true account carriers.  If they have it, they need to verify it with you by giving you the information and you confirming it, not you giving it to them and them "confirming it".

i RECEIVE A CALL FROM THESE "PEOPLE" ABOUT ONCE A WEEK.  ON THE LAST CONVERSATION, I ASKED THEM TO MAIL ME A COPY STATING THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR AND AMOUNT OWED.  NOTHING FORTHCOMING.  

TODAY, I TOLD THEM TO CALL MY ATTORNEY - BEFORE I COULD GIVE THEM THE PHONE # THEY HUNG UP.

THEIR PRACTICES ARE VERY QUESTIONALBE AND I HAVE FILED AN COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.
