So i sold my car for half of what i owed and already sent it to them but am still being threated by arrest for internet fraud. Help help help what can i do.... And this is the jacksonville flordia office very rude people....

Please, don't worry. These threats are becoming all to common among these collection agencies. They are violating the FDCPA by issuing threats. You will not be arrested, they will not send the sheriff to your job, they can't cost you your job, you will not be charged with internet fraud. You need to immediately file a complaint with the Florida Attorney General and be sure in the complaint to give the person's name that issued the threat and list all threats issued by the person. They are committing a crime and they have to be stopped. If I remember right, you can go to the Florida AG site and file an online complaint. Do not send them a dime.

Im glad to here that i wont be arrested!!!!!! But i have already snt them money and now out a car and was filed eviction because now i cant pay my rent because i was scared i was going to jail. But i do still owe them money and they are still calling my job my boss is getting mad and is concidering firing me.... What do i do now???????

Send them a cease and desist letter certified mail with return receipt, and also fax it to them. You can demand that they quit calling your job. If it gets worse, call the sheriffs department and file a complaint against them for harassment. If your boss fires you over their harassment, you need to sue them for loss of your job! That is a very strict violation of the FDCPA. No collection agency can cost a person their job. Who is the orginal creditor of this account? You can contact the orginial creditor and let them know what this agency is doing, and I have heard of the oc taking the account back and making arrangments. Like I stated above DO NOT send Bass & Associates anymore money. Chances of the money you have already sent them, they never turned over to the original creditor. There is an extremely high chance they are illegally collecting the debt. Have you made them validate the debt to prove they legally have the account? Their actual name is Bass Prelitigations.

GUERRA,

Go to the Florida Attorney General site and their is an online complaint form to fill out. You do not have to directly deal with Bass! They have verbally refused validation. Here is the link to the complaint section of the Florida AG.

shells1777,

Go to the California Attorney General site and you can also file an online complaint.

I am having the same problem with bass&associates aka bass enterprises aka bass prelitigations to the threats job harrising everything ,So far I have paied them $450 and I owe 600 more and they want me to pay them $150 every week untill this is paied off. But I dont have an extra $150 to pay them and I am not going to fall behind again on my house payment again because of them . Any one have any advice? I talked with a guy Mr. Hagan yesterday and when they called my office they said they were from Lewis St.. John. Then when I called them back it was Bass.

What shoul I do, I am worried sick about this. I do want to pay them money back but I can not do it like they want me to though.

Advice please?

Have you made them validate to prove they actually have the debt? This company has committed several violations in regards to the FDCPA. They have threatened people, harassed people. Do not send them anything more til they provide you the proof they actually have the account. Make them send the proof certified mail with return receipt. Do you know who the original creditor is? Do not be worried about this. This company is running a big scam and people who scam, do get caught. You also need to make the AG in Florida aware of this. Be sure when you file the complaint, you give all names that has called you, list all the threats, etc that they have done.

listen, i have dealt with these folks also. the only thing they told me is that a civil case could come of this. now dont get me wrong, they can be abrasive but i have been sued and rec'd a judgement so i just wanted to get this taken care of. but what is truly disturbing on this forum is that the moderators seem to only try to fuel a fire that doesnt exist. tammy, your gross negligence as a moderator is truly disturbing. look i am just reflecting on my personal experience, and it was nothing like some people here are stating, and the moderators on this sight seem to be drumming up propaganda based on a general hatred of collection agencies in general. therefore should be ashamed of themselves. IMO

I asked them to sedn me a letter about 2 weeks ago and never got anything . Yesterday I sent them another $150 and ask for a letter I will just have to see if I get one from them. The creditor that I took out a loan with was FSM group Bass say that I have two accounts with them. Should I get a lawer involved?

I do not agree with the above guest. Every-thing that has been written in here about this company IS true. I have notrcvd a rcpt for my pmt. Have filed with the Florida Generals office. Every-ones topic and how they are saying things. I sexactly what i heard too. These people are nasty. I am not paying them another dime...

Sal · Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 9:30 am Subject: BASS ENTERPRISES

Do not send them another dime.. Heres another web-site i found budhibs.com go to that site. it shows many illegal collectors there.

Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 9:36 am Subject:

Does anyone have the number to the AG office were I could make a complaint? I am suppose to make another payment to them in the morning but I really dont have the money. I asked them for a letter about 2 weeks ago and got nothing, Has anyone ever got a letter from them? They said that what I had done was a mister meaner and that if I did not pay I was going to jail. Do I need a lawyer.

sorry about my spelling.
