Oh, joy, it's WAM ... Here are some fun facts: West Asset Management is part of the Fred Hanna crime family of debt collectors, a name associated with the worst industry practices, not to mention forcing employees to work in a ''sick building''.
West Asset Management 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. WAM's crimes were no different from those of its 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 WAM's 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, the right to dispute debt claims, 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.

They called several times, did not leave a message. I answered and they wanted me to confirm my name and DOB. I asked who they were and they would only repeat West Asset Management. I hung up.

Caller ID said DeSoto, TX. I did not answer. I have received calls from this number before. I don't know anyone in DeSoto, TX, so I do not answer.
