Internet's first get-out-of-debt community - 128,000 members

I just got off the phone with a Stan Morman from Bass and Assoc. He asked me first if I had heard of the company and I said yes I have but I have heard nothing good about you. He said OH...long pause.....

Well have you taken care of this matter? I said what matter? He said you took out a payday loan from Bahama Marketing and it was returned due to non sufficient funds I said yes I am aware of this. Stan went on to say that according to bahmama marketing- I have had this problem in the past. I said NO that I am aware of. He said OH...long pause. I asked what the total was and he said he couldnt tell me that. He went on to tell me that they were in the process of filing a form for internet fraud and so on and so forth. Something about crossing the state line whatever that means. I asked if he could fax over the papers for me to see he said he couldnt do that but I could have my attorney call. I said OK I'll have my attorney call who should he ask for? He said BASS AND ASSOC. I said DUH I know who should he call and ask for he said well anyone in the office. I said you dont have a specific person that is handling this case? He's like ahhhhhhhh long pause well Maam we have 20 people in this office I dont have a clue who's handling your account. I said thats funny but you want me attorney to call your company? He said again Maam I just work the front desk. I went on to say something else he said maam I am not going to go on and on with you about this. Have your attorney call and in the middle of my sentence he hung up on me.....

When he called the number came up 000-000-0000

When I called back after getting the message he gave a number of 1-877-281-2220...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

He refused to give me anything in writing.....

Now I am stressing again..........

This company is full of crap. Let him spew out the illegal threats all he wants. There are NOT going to be any internet fraud charges brought against you or any other type of charges against you PERIOD. They are consistently violating the laws, file a complaint with Florida's Attorney Generals Office, the complaints are piling up fast against this company in Florida, also file a comlaint with your AGs office. Just know this, every time he calls he is going to throw out an illegal false threat, he may sound scary, but he is just an idiot on the other end of the phone who doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground and if truth be told the only thing he knows about the law is that he is good at breaking it.

Don't let this company scew with you, screw right back at 'em! They are not licensed anywhere. The Mormon's are not going to be pleased that "Stan" is not only misusing their name but giving them a bad rep. He is an idiot.

Tweety--

Make sure you file that complaint with the Florida AG's office and the FL BBB. I filed my complaints with them and of course, when the BBB contacted Bass, they lied and said that it is only a civil matter and no one at their office uses threats against the debtors that they call. We all know this is a lie. When the FL AG's office contacted me, they stated that Bass is involved in a on-going investigation right now, so make sure you file those complaints.

By all means, Tweety, follow the advice given here. File the complaints mentioned above, and do not, under any circumstances, give this company any bank information or make any payment arrangements with them. Get that complaint filed and keep them away from your bank account, or they'll drain you.

They are not downloading or processing any paperwork - if they were, a good many people on this board would no longer be here. They'd all be in jail, if we believed the threats made by Bass & Associates.

Well right now I am trying to file a complaint with the FL BBB and I'm not getting anywhere. I know that they are in the system because I saw where they had 19 complaints against them. I've also look at the FL AG's office link and I'm not sure where to find the complaint form for that one as well.

I hope I'm not in serious trouble? Stan was very nervous and got REAL defensive fast when I fired back which is a good thing. A week ago I probably would of cried and been all stressed out. Being on this forum helps greatly!

Thanks brownsugar!
