Bass and Associates and/or Jackson Phillips?? same place??

Here we go again, now they have the receptionist in on the illegal threats. You are not going to be arrested, and please do not send them a dime of your money. They are lying to you. You should call that receptionist back and tell her that she is the one that should be worried working for a bunch of crooks under investigation, and that she needs to start looking into her unemployment benefits package.

They are calling me in regards to arrowhead investments and I live in the state of florida.

Do not send them a dime, no matter what they threaten you with, especially you being charged with a crime and then being arrested. This is NOT going to happen to you. You need to file a complaint with your state's Attorney General's office ASAP.

OMG, now the receptionist is playing Cop? I've heard of the family plan, but do jails have plans for booking whole companies at once? Maybe Bass could take over a floor of cells, who knows.....

so do you think they will call me back after I told them that I did some research and found out that they scam people?

I'm sure they're going to call you back--but if they pull the you're going to be arrested crap again, say something like "I need the vacation,didn't want to go to my crappy job anyway!" and hang up the phone. It's pure crap....

As suggested, do not send them any money. Is this the same receptionist that cried when someone got a little "hostile" with her? LOL! They are getting beyond ridiculous now. I wish I could take a vacation to Florida. I would have some fun In the meantime, file the complaints as suggested because they are under investigation in Florida. They are violating the fdcpa by making these kinds of threats and that is simply ILLEGAL. Also, send them a debt validation letter to get them to shut up. You can find a sample in the DIY section.

BEAUTY HAS RETURNED

I use to work there and im so sorry for you all's threats im no longer enployed b/c they say im not mean enough keep pushing and youll stop the bs!

I was contacted by them and sent them a debt validation letter and the response i got was something typed and handwritten from them it did not include the original company name or amount i owe it just said that the collector was I-Collect and i owed a balance of 3024.70. What do i do now?

I just was left a message by these people. I am so glad I looked them up before I called them. I have no damn idea what they are talking about. I don't even have any bad checks.

I was contacted by a Meredith Lawson of jackson and phillips she said she was from the federal department concerning a payday loan i took out a year ago, and if i din't pay 300 dollars within an hour she was sending a unit for me because i was in big trouble. I am a resident of philadelphia pennsylvania. If anyone is contacing by htese people please DO GIVE THEM I DIME!!!!!!!

Now this is comical. The federal dept of what, first of all...and if this woman thinks that she's going to get to Philly from Fla in one hour, all I can say is, I'd like to have some of what she's smoking....

Next month the Florida AG has a court hearing with these jokers for a permanent injunction.I hope it gets it so he can shut their doors.

Amen, Cajun. All I can add to that is that their doors are shut PERMANENTLY!!! Don't want them turning up somewhere else...

I have a post discussing the latest court action by Florida AG in the collector's forum here.
