Statement on Form S-3
File No. 333-128623
Filed on September 27, 2005
Dear Ms. Garnett:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and subject to resolution of any outstanding Staff comments, Aames Investment Corporation respectfully requests that
the effectiveness of its registration statement on Form S-3 referenced above be accelerated so as to become effective on November 4, 2005 at 4:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time or as soon as practicable thereafter.
In connection with this request, Aames Investment Corporation hereby
acknowledges that
•
should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the filing;
•
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve Aames Investment from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
•
Aames Investment may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
