This is too funny. Minutes ago I saw an article in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the state of debt collection and the CFPB's potential role in stepping up regulation. It cites WAM as an example of a recent damaging FTC action. Here's more:
ajc.com
Now some missing background: West Asset Management is among the Fred Hanna crime family of collection agencies. WAM was fined $2.8 million in March 2011 by the FTC for chronic FDCPA violation. This civil penalty set a new record high for the industry. Its crimes were no different from those of industry peers: runaway skip tracing, abusive and hostile phone reps, illegal threats, privacy violation, ignoring 'no-call' demands, wrongful seizure of savings, outright lies .... on and on, practically every part of FDCPA trampled on like the victims.

If you are receiving repeated, misdirected, and/or abusive calls from a third party debt collector, you may find relief in the provisions of the FDCPA, the federal law which regulates collector behavior and provides you simple tools for your own defense. It grants you control of how you are contacted, and the means to sue at low cost. Learn your rights and first response tactics at FTC-dot-gov. See also your state laws for additional support.

Do not like these people.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TOLD THEM EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER. EACH TIME THEY ALL SAY THEY WILL REMOVE MY NUMBER, BUT THEY NEVER DO! THEY STILL CALL EVERY WEEK, SEVERAL TIMES!
EVIDENTLY THEY LIKE TO WASTE THEIR AND MY TIME BY REPEATEDLY CALLING A WRONG NUMBER. I HAVE TOLD THEM I GOT THIS NUMBER LAST OCTOBER. STOP CALLING ME.
Message left finally
I would recommend you contact
Federal Communications Commission
fcc.gov
Federal Trade Commission
ftccomplaintassistant.gov
and the Better Business Bureau.
fcc.gov
They each have on line forms to file a complaint
The West Asset Management company Website is
westassetmanagement.com
He said his name was Ray. I asked him where he was calling from. He said that if my sister wanted me to know that, she would tell me herself. I told him that I would not relay the message.
West Asset Management is a collection agency. See budhibbs.com for comments on their unscrupulous dealings.
