This is odd. Why say things like you did? I came on this site to find out what the phone call I got was about, just like all of you have. I left my experience and you accuse me of things, are condescending and insult me? I have read through the other pages and others experiences sound like mine. I only see you making up things.

I just googled my name dsrtdomme and this came up. I found it curious so I clicked on it. I see I got 2 nasty responses.

I looked up this phone number back in 2008 and said on this site what happened. When this guy called me I was scared. He said a subpoena would be coming to my house. When the first one didn't show I rested fine. He tried the same trick a second time, the subpoena never arrived. This place has not called me again. We are now in 2011.

I came on here trying to learn about this yahoo just like all of you.

We have been dealing with various 'processors' for about a week now. They are calling me about a relative's debt. That Mr. Donahue even admitted he knew I wasn't who they were looking for, but my number was the only one they could find through directory assistance.

I gave them the correct number but am still getting calls. I have filed a complaint with the NY atty gen and will file one for my state as well. I have letters going out in the mail today to Mr. Nicolia and also to Mr. Donahue.

I will also pay a visit to the FTC site and file a complaint there.

So these folks have been calling since January. They first contacted my parents in another town and freaked my ma out. SO I contacted them and at first I was willing to create payment arrangements. I requested they send me info regarding their purchase of the debt, etc. they faxed me a bogus looking correspondence saying the balance I owed along with an address to send payment and a bit about suing me if it was not paid. I called them and said that info was not sufficient. I can't remember the fella's name but he said that he would call me back and never did. Then a week or so later a lady called I told her what had happened and that I was still waiting on verification and she got rude saying that I know I owe the debt I should just pay it and I said I wanted to pay the right people and se hung up on me. Then a few weeks went by and another guy called saying that I need to take care of this debt. Well after the hang up I pulled my credit report and no where is EAM listed as a debt holder, it shows that they pulled my history though. So I wrote a correspondence to the company that was listed as owning the debt and they responded that they still own it and that account is still open. SO when this guy called I put it on the table that I didn't think he was legit and I'd like to take care of the problem but I had two companies trying to collect for the same debt. He said that he would send me verification again that they owned the debt. I missed his call the next day and he left an inexcusably rude message saying that I obviously had no intent to be responsible and that I shouldn't have wasted HIS time and that they'll be filing a lawsuit against me. Then just this week some woman called me three days in a row and at this point I'm not answering any 716 numbers. The messages she left said she was filing on Friday if I didn't contact her. I mean really?! Who is scummy enough to get paid to treat their countrymen like S***?
And why would they contact family members, isn't that privacy policy stuff?

I rec'd a phone call from this person calling himself Mr. Donahue. Telling me that on thursday I need to pay 2400.00 or I will be takin to court and added court cost and attorney fees. IF your like me u don't have that kind of money. I havea debt but somethings on it isn't all mine! Anyways, so I rec'd another call from this CRSI who has the same account letting me make payments on it telling me its only 1505.38 that I owe. My credit report shows 1215.00! Someone is scamming somebody! I told Eastern Asset Management to go ahead and take me to court because I will have all my documentation with me! I'm not paying court cost its over 200.00 here! And he wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. So I'm sending a Cease Communication letter to them! I contacted the Federal Trade Commision and they are going to help me persue this matter even further. On there website FTC.GOV it gives u everything u need to know! They have all sorts of stuff on there and where u can file a complaint! Please give them a try! This eastern Asset Management is a Crock!

I received calls from a Mr. Wagner and a Ms. Martin I was to call them at 888-754-0040 Ext. 326 or 329.  They said they worked for Attorney John Nicolia.  The number at the Courthouse, was 888-754-0040 ext.326.  Funny that this is the number for Eastern Asset Management.  When I called and talk to this Ms. Martin, we had some heated words and I told her to send it to the county Prosecutor's office.  The county she gave, is not even the county I live in.  I did receive a message from Ms. Martin stating that she learned I had called and that I needed to speak to her and that she was going to go ahead and file the civil suit against me if she did or did not hear from me.  She stated she would make the decision with or without me.

There are other people working for this dumb a** place. HENRY PATTERSON who is also rude. I made one payment and I was advised by an attorney not to make any more payments until they sent me something in the mail...not an email or fax. they said that collection agencies have to send you something in the mail with the account #, the amount owed to the company, and offer you a settlement  or the full amount. It is also illegal for them to contact anyone but you about your matter. in my case they contacted everyone but me...my parents, little siblings cell phones (who they made cry by telling them i was going to be arrested) and other members who i havent seen in years because they live in different states. they also said they were going to take me to court in California..where i havent lived for some years now. I live on the east coast near them.

I've been dealing with multiple supposed people at this place, Jack Peters, and Mr. Cook...etc...I told them I would have to verify this debt, and in order to keep them from filing paper work for court I gave them a Credit card number, and told them they did not have the right to charge it and in turn I wanted paper work from them verifying my debt, and I would check on the debt from my end. I was going to look into removing money from a 401k.  Supposedly they even recorded this conversation.  Now unbeknownst I informed the credit card company of the possiblilty of a fraudulent charge.  I waited, no debt validation info. I even called and left messages, no one answered.  I tracked my debt to the actual owners, the owner of the debt had supposedly forwarded it to collections but it wasn't eastern asset management?  So now I was really confused.  I felt that someone was basically trying to collect on a debt illegally which, in turn I could not even get anyone to forward me the info on the debt?  Most of this supposed debt occured during the Hurricane while I was living in New Orleans, yet no one is even willing to given me the paperwork to prove this debt is fraudulent from the CC company from the get go.  Anyways, After 3 weeks they charged my card, I called my cc company and told them it was illegal.  After a couple of days EAM called me a little angry (good too) they were insulting, insuating, yet they broke the law, I gave them no permission for that credit card charge.  I would have paid this debt, all they had to do is give me the paperwork that shows it.  I mean if they're really going to take me to court they would have to provide this anyways!?  I'm done, i'll spend 10,000 just to take them to court even if I only own 1,000.  It's the principle of the matter now. These people violate FDCPA all the time, and have multiple lawsuits against them in multiple states.

I had a Clout credit card in the past. I eventually settled the amount with a collection agency towards my clout card. This "John Nicolia" outfit has been calling me lately threatening to Subpoena me to go to court for this matter. Although I explained to them that I already paid this debt, they continue to call and tell me "We understand that you already paid this debt possibly to another collection agency but we are not lawyers and want to settle this as soon as possible." He then offered me a settlement to clear my name of this debt, my worry is if I give him the financial information he is requesting, then what guarantee do I have that I am not being taken for a ride? What proof do they need to provide for this past due debt? What proof do I need to provide to stop them from harassing me and trying to collect this debt? If you have any information, preferably LEGAL, on this issue then please reply to this post as soon as possible. The more I read on these websites, the more I realize they guys SCAM people. But before I blow them off I want to make sure they cant come after me. I have also read and understand the Fair credit reporting act.

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.

Ok...So I just got a phone call tonight. These a**es 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 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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Dude your a moron. I worked for this company and received a paycheck and cashed it legally. So it is a company and you all really do owe these debts. So start paying up, you scumbag dirtballs. No wonders our economy is so bad. You filthy bottom feeders refuse to pay what you stole. And yes, breaking a contractual agreement is theft.

EAM LLC. Is Eastern Asset Management. Additional Numbers for them are 716-565-1469 and 1-888-937-7937. This is in no way a law frim. They purchased my debt from a cash advance company I found online. Yes, I am aware that I owe that company money. However times are hard. This so called law firm threatens you and conjaures up false and misleading information saying that they will take you to court. Well I called my lawyer who I am filing bankrupcty with and told him what the deal was he said yes you can put that in dont pay them. Give them my name and number and they can talk to me not you. They called me again I stated to them that I need something in the mail not to my email and that I will not being speaking to them any further that they must speak with my lawyer. Here's the kicker this "Law Firm" tells me that they can't call my lawyer because that's against the law! WTF Right that doesn't make sense anyone can call a lawyer! Stupid stupid people. Then I get a vociemail saying that I will be served in the next week from someone in my county and they will be taking me to court for writing a bad check ----- Hold the phone writing a bad check right no way the same as a cash advance. they bought my debt from a cash advance company not the same thing. Basically this company is using scare tatics and using misleading information it's their job to. They are barely leagel and wont be seeing a dime from me so they can go F#$! themselves.

My husband received a message from Investigator "Jack Malone." Sound familiar? That's the FBI guy on Without a Trace.  Anyway, he said my husband's name came up in an affidavit and he was trying to find out if we have contact information for a woman who has the same last name as us, but we have no idea who she is.  He left her full name, first, middle and last.  I am
saving the message for the attorney general. My husband tried calling back and got some guy who said he had 30 different businesses and wanted our number. My husband wouldn't give him any information.
