I have been getting calls from these people for about a month. Thy say if I do not pay I will have a subpoena coming to my home in 2 days. They say I will need to get an attorey and when I lose I will have to pay for the cost of their attorney as well as other things. They say they will garnish wages 25%. These folks are VERY aggressive. I'll update if I get a subpoena.

I DONT KNOW IF U GOT MY LAST MSG BUT IT STATED THAT IF I DIDNT PAY I WOULD RECIEVE A SUBPOENA AND I JUST WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO GO ON RECORD STATING THAT THE COMPAANY IS LEGIT I RECIEVED A SUBPOENA THROUGH CLARK COUNTY STATING THAT THEY WERE PLACING A JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME AND THAT WAS BASICALLY IT SO I DO REGRET NOT PAYING WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE BUT YOU LIVE AND LEARN I ROLLED THE DICE AND GOT BURNED...<<<...

Dear DSRTDOMME, soooooooooo, you got a subpoena that said some one was placing a judgement against you ?? Do you even know what a subpoena is?
Do you know who issues a judgement and how that comes about ?? I think you better stop trying to scare people and go back to school.(preferablly not in law-you just don't have it ) Most people are a little smarter than they were a few years ago--you guys just get dumber .
This has been an attempt to insult a scumbag collection agent, all information will be used for that purpose.

Nice try DSRTDOMME but it didn't work for you.  You have just proved that you work for the company b/c collections doesn't even work that way BOO BOO....Sorry we didn't fall this crap but YES we are smarter than you thing...

this company called my brother's in-laws and wass very rude to his mother in-law. He claimed to being a Hennepin County Investigator and said that I was in real big trouble with the law. He left her a phone number of 716-683-0356 but did not give her a name on who to ask for. I showed this to an attorney friend of mine and my boyfriend who is a St. Paul police officer....they have advised me that this is a scam and we'll be filing some complaints against this company on Monday morning first thing....SCAM!!!!!!!!!

Do not respond if these people call your friends/ family....call the police asap. What they are doing is illegal and not within the confines for debt collecting laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call at work on 10/27/08, the company-Eastern Asset Management left a number to call, 888-346-3978 x.118. Of course it went to someone's VM. I called the number back and chose the option for the operator. She placed a man on the phone who immediately begin attacking me with such a nasty attitude, threatened me about a Civil law suit with my local courts and wage garnishments. When I asked who did I owe, he just said the amount and that he could take arrangements. The debit is 650.00 and I offered $25.00 and he continued to shout, stating that was unexceptable and hung up the phone. At a time like this, what company is refusing any type of payment offer?

Received a call from a Mr. Turner. He left a very threatening message for my husband on our voice mail so my husband phoned him back. He stated that his investigation revealed that my husband was guilty of bank fraud and that if my husband did not pay a $1500 loan he would be arrested on his job. He said he had already filed charges and there was an arrest for my husband in our city. None of this was true. First, my husband has never had a loan for $1500 it was $500 and he made most of the payments before...now get this...losing his job due to health reasons almost a year ago. The bank, not my husband, closed the account because with no more direct deposits coming in there was no money to cover checks. My husband later paid all the bank charges but did not reopen the account. He has since filed for disability, as he told the company before they sold the account to this "fly by night" company. Here is where I come in. I've done collections in the past and I know somewhat about the legal. I have a family member and a friend who are "real" lawyers and these companies can do no more than report to the credit bureau. However, I decided to play with Mr. Turner and call his bluff. While my husband was on the phone with Mr. Turner, I loudly proclaimed that I was on the phone with the sheriff's office and they did not have a warrant for my husband's arrest. Mr. Turner became angry and told my husband to tell me to check back in 48 hours and there will be a warrant. Then he hung up. I phoned the office back to get their address and Mr. Turner answered still angry. He saw the caller ID and immediately told me not to phone his office again then hung up. Would a legitimate busy tell me not to phone, especially when they are trying to get money. But we were smart...we decided to save the threatening voice mail for use in our complaint. Not to smart for a company to threaten a voice mail.

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT WRITE THESE RIDICULOUS COMMENTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES YOU GUYS ARE SUCH DEADBEATS THAT YOU WRITE ALL THIS [***] TO MAKE YOURSELF BELIEVE THAT ITS FRAUD AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY!!! I'M SURE YOU WILL ALL FIGURE IT OUT ONE DAY THAT OUR COMPANY IS NOT A SCAM IF WE WERE DONT YOU THINK WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS (THAT PEOPLE CLAIM THEY SEND) WE WOULD BE CAUGHT BY NOW THINK ABOUT IT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 10 YEARS. THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU PAY YOUR DEBT BECAUSE I GET A PAYCHECK EITHER WAY OH AND I MAKE $18/HR SO ITS WELL WORTH IT!!! OUR COMPANY HAS BROUGHT IN $780,000 THIS MONTH ALONE SO YOU PEOPLE THAT DONT PAY DONT MAKE A DIFFRENCE TO US YOU JUST HURT YOUR SELVES LOL!!!

haha EASTERNASSETMANAGEMENT - you in my case asked for a debt I HAD ALREADY PAID!!! There have been numerous lawsuits against you, information accessed via PACER.  You are frauds, you know it, and you break the law.  someday it will bite you in the ass.  You will mess with someone not as nice as us and get your head blown off.  I hope you do.  

P.s. I make $36/hour BEYOTCH!!

So can someone tell me exactly what to do with these guys?

About 8 months ago My daughter started receiving calls from a collection company on a Clout credit card. Her limit was $500.She was 18 at the time. To make a long story short her balance soon went up to $2000 with all the fees. One day a man called and wanted to speak to my daughter and she was at work so he spoke to me on a account that my name was no where on. Our conversation started to get get alittle heated when he was telling me what a bad parent I was for not teaching my daughter to pay her debt and since I wasn't willing to pay it for her I was worthless as well. We started making payments and this company has sold the loan to another collection agency at its orignal balance. Naturally they tell me to find all my receipts. Well you know how that goes. Not sure what to do.

This company will not send any documentation.

Eastern Assests Management keeps calling non stop they told my husband he was an attorney by the name of Paul Thacck or something i couldnt understand him he speaks really fast he called my husbands parents and told them if they didnt put up their property for collertal that their son would be filed with civil and criminal charges due to an outstanding debt with wells fargo back in 2001 In 2005 we refinanced our home and the stipulations in our refinance was that we had old credit we had to pay off to even be qualifiyed for our mortgage refinance which we did and i have all the documantation to prove it but that Paul guy saying he was an attorney which is a lie said we need to give him a check over the phone so he can stop the proceedings even though we never received anything from wells fargo saying we still hand an outstanding debt with them and this Paul character said pay him first and them if it were true them we would get back our money nooooo wayyyyy will I give him anything Im tired of this company harassing my in-laws about their son and telling things that he should not have said me and my husband have been so worried he would go to jail because thats what that Paul told he and with all the other fines added to it originally the amount owed was 2,749.00 which was paid off november 2005 and i have proof so what do I do to stop having him harassing my in-laws which he calls at least 10 times a day we never received nothing from this so called Easten Assests Management they started calling my in-laws and she took down the information because they harass my mother in-law all day everyday and now that they have our phone number because my husband was trying to work out a payment plan with them but he said if you would of called back 2 days ago we could have made arrangements but now since you have legal fees its now almost 10,000.00 dollars I need to know how to get the phone number for the Fair Debt Collectionc and the Better Business Bureau I live in Florida but they are calling from New York Thank you soooo much for all these comments without reading these we would have been scamed sinced we did pay this back in 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the past three days a man named Henry from Easter Asset Management claiming I have an outstanding debt that needed to be paid or they were going to take legal action and take me to court. Funny thing... this so called debt had been paid off for two years, and they mysteriously contacted my sister at a phone number that was never available to this so called debt they say I owe. We dont even have the same last name. I have asked them to send me a registered letter stating what they need from me and have yet to receive a phone call or anything else from this man. And when I called the number again, his voicemail was turned off.

Hi - The same thing happened to me last month!  I sent them a cease and decist letter to them stating I owed them nothing.  I also said that if it were a legit debt you would send me a letter.  I sent them a certified letter from the collection agency I paid two years ago, haven't received a receipt yet so I guess they refused it.  I won, they gave up. You don't owe them anything.

My mother received a call from phone number 888-754-0040.
The guys said this is Frank White, calling on behalf of John Nicolia and they are sueing me.
My mother called in histerics - then once she gave me the message I spoke with this guy and he says he is working on behalf of Clout Financial Services (Visa Credit Card Company) - he tells me that I owe $2,048.68. I told him this was paid off in 2006 through a collection company - he says Clout never received any sort of information.
Then he tells me that he has my credit report n front of him and he sees the last payment was made in 2006 - I said yeah that was the pay off in 2006.
I said doesn't may credit report say "charged off" he says yes, I say well why are you calling me? Don't you know that charged off means done, paid, written off............then he says he's calling on behalf of a court in Illinois, I say if you're in NY, why are you calling on behalf of a court in IL.
He couldn't answer that.

I also asked him, why if Clout turned this over to the Collection Agency in 2006 and I did business with them in 2006 then why is he doing business with Clout!!!
FYI - if a company signs off debt to a collection agency,then they are signing off all rights of that bad debt, this means that the collection agency bought this bad debt from them, so Clout no longer owns this bad debt - so im still trying to figure out why he says he's trying to collect a debt for Clout.

Also, I said so Clout transferred over the account on me, correct? He says yes, so I then I said well, you have the information on the collection agency, correct, he says well no mam, I don't have any of that info.

something here seems so bogus!!!!

so i started researching and I have come up with enough info to know these guys are scamming anyone they can - so please do not be a fool and send them any money.

Check your credit report, if there is no delinquent information on there regarding any debt they are calling you about then DO NOT send them any money!!!!

He also said he was judging me to court, Exscuse me but that means you are going to serve me, well, I haven't seen any papers - SCAM is all I can say!!!

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD SO THESE GUYS CAN BE STOPPED!!!

This company calls me every 4-6 months.  I have actually talked to someone on the phone from this Eastern Asset Management.  First of all I have no idea what debt they are referring to and I have told them so.  The have asked me to give them my checking account number with the routing number over the phone....are they nuts???  Even if it was a debt I owed I would never give out my checking account inofrmation over the phone.  I told them if I owe money please send me the paperwork to back it up and I will happily pay it!!

I did have my purse stolen in 2005 and I hope this is still not stemming from that!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE ANY OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!
This company Eastern Asset Mgmt. purchases OLD debts. I mean very old debts LONG PAST the Legal STATUE OF LIMITATIONS! Every state has a statue of limitatios regarding how long they may LEGALLY try to get money out of you. If the statue of limitations have expired IGNORE them. If you can't manage to do that, you can record their abusive telephone calls to you. File a complaint with the FCC (Federal Communication Commission). They WILL be fined $1,000.00 which you will receive. Even a legitimate Collection Agency is NOT ALLOWED to verbally abuse ANYONE!! You MUST however get the abuse on TAPE! Legitimate Collection Agencies would NEVER be rude, or abusive. Last but NOT LEAST change your phone number, register your new phone number @ www.donotcall.gov just don't allow these SCAM ARTISTS to bully you!!

Ok...So I just got a phone call tonight. These [***] have been calling me at my home and at work for about a month or more.
On my caller ID it said - "Douglas R. Burgess Law office." When I listened to the voice mail, it was from a new person...a woman. You could tell she was reading from a paper, and she said that she was from EASTERN ASSET MANAGEMENT.
So what is up with that? They are now posing as DIFFERENT law firms? Or perhaps they changed their name...again? I have already sent out a complaint to the Attorney General in NY and also Mass. And I sent John Nicolia AKA Eastern Asset Management AKA Douglas R. Burgess Law office a cease & desist letter. These guys are AWFUL.

This "John Nicolia" did not call me...instead, HE SHOWED UP AT MY APARTMENT COMPLEX at my leasing office, LOOKING FOR MY APARTMENT! Thankfully, the office did not give out any information..but, the office left a voice mail stating that this JOHN was searching for me.  Said he was an attorney and needed to contact me ASAP.  I don't know of any other "debt collector" or whatever, that goes to peoples homes...that does not sound right at all and I feel very unsafe knowing that there are these freaks who go searching for you..It's scary.  He left the same number to call except with the ext 143.

These people are crazy.  If this is about some stupid little debt, than I need mailed documentation, not a psycho roaming my complex.
