Bass and Associates and/or Jackson Phillips?? same place??
Hi, I had been harassed by Bass and associates just before Christmas. After finding this forum, I did not call them back again. Last Friday, I got a call from Jackson Phillips asso. (said they were a Processing firm for filing charges). Their phone number is 1-800-871-7730. Has anyone else had any contact with these people? Their story was the sam, that they were going to have me arrested for fraud and bad checks - from a PDL that I have not repaid.

This is the same company, the give away is they called themselves a "Processing firm for filing charges". No such firm exists. File a complaint with Florida's Attorney General's office immediately. This is the same illegal threat this stupid a$$ company uses on all of its victims. DO NOT SEND THEM A DIME NOBODY IS FILING CHARGES AGAINST YOU AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL.

Call the original company and make your payment arrangements directly with them. Avoid Bass and Associates as long as your account is getting paid to the original company. When the CA harasses you for payments, ask them to validate the account in writing. It is your legal right to ask for the info and confirm that they are authorized for collecting money from you.

Bass & Associates are known to say that they don't have to validate anything.

I wonder if they have a meeting every Monday morning to decide which name they are going to use for the week. They go by so many different names it's crazy.

Everyone! Keep track of the names these outfits use. We get a trail on 'em, easier it'll be easier to shut their butts down, might send a few of 'em up the river or down de bayou too *jail time*
Don't that sound like fun?

I was contacted by Allen Lewis & Associates after Christmas myself. They would not give me their address on the phone or tell me what type of company they were. A little research gave me that information. I got all kinds of criminal threats regarding a payday loan company that I have been fighting over a year. File a complaint with the FTC as well as the AG's office in your state. They have never validated my dv request yet.

I have a troop that was contacted today by Jackson, Phillips & Associates Corp. They basically tried to strongarm her into making an $800 payment today and threatened a law suite. She told them she could pay the balance in full on 1 Feb, but they said their client (Platinum B Services) would not allow them to extend it out to another week. I told her not to offer any further payments until they provided info that the debt was valid. The person told her he didn't have to provide her with anything and that he represented Platinum B and not her. Typical debt collection crap. So he just screwed his client out of their payment. We're going to send a letter, certified mail return receipt requested, requesting debt validation. Then let him tell her he doesn't have to provide her with anything. I did find their address at the BBB website.

9378 Arlington Expy Ste 323 Jacksonville, FL 32225
This is the address that I found for Bass & Associates. Allen Lewis & Associates are also out of Jacksonville, Florida. These could be DBA's.

Bass Prelitigation is the real name of the company that calls itself Bass and Associates. The registered owners of Bass are Frank and Evelyn Jackson so it could be the same company with a different name.

Hi. Last week I received a call at work from Cal Gregory of Jackson, Phillips, and Associates. He left a message on my voicemail stating that he was calling on my behalf to verify my work email address. I was a little confused so I called back. At that point he told me that he was in the fraud department and that they are going to press charges for bad checks and that they were going to let my employer know what I have been doing. After asking a million times I found out that he was calling regarding two payday loans. One from M1Y direct and one from Arrowhead. I received $300.00 from each. He said that both were under United Federal Bank and that I had to pay $1527.80 that same day or my employer would be notified and charges would be brought against me. I told him that I didn't have the money. He insisted, however, I told him that I can't magically pull money out of my a$$. He backed down and said that he would call me in 02/15. That is when I begin to do a little research and found this gem of a site. I live in the state of NC. Please offer all the help possible. I would love to get this resolved.

Please file a complaint with your Attorney Generals office. Also call both of the loan companies and verify who your account was given to for collections. This company is operating under so many different names it's crazy. Tell him you are not sending them a dime until you get things verified.
Payday loans are illegal in North Carolina. How long did you have these two loans and how much did your pay towards them total? __________________
