seb here is what collection agencies are not allowed to do.
| Quote: | Debt collectors may NOT:
1) Harass, oppress or abuse you or any third parties they contact.
2) Use threats of harm.
3) Publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay their debts.
4) Use obscene language.
5) Repeatedly use the telephone to annoy someone.
6) Take or threaten to take your property unless this can be done legally.
They are also restricted in the statements they can make to debtors. Debt collectors may NOT tell you that:
1) You will be arrested if you do not pay your debt.
2) They will seize, garnish, attach or sell your property or wages, unless the collection agency or creditor intends to do so and it is legal to do so.
3) They will take actions, such as a lawsuit, against you, when such action legally may not be taken, or when they do not intend to do so.
Finally, debt collectors may NOT:
1) Give false credit information about you to anyone.
2) Send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency when it is not.
3) Use a false name.
A debt collector is permitted to contact you in person, by mail, phone, telegram or fax. However, he or she may not contact you at inconvenient times or places (such as before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless you agree). And, they may not contact your place of work if the collector knows that your employer disapproves of such contacts. |
I found a Bass & Associates in Tucson, Arizona, but nothing in Florida.

Hi I also recieved a call at work from Lynn. She said my account and email had been red flagged and she went on and on about how I got a loan and it was fradulent not to pay. I explained to her that this was a civil matter. She was reading off a script it was so obvious. Anyway she didn't really want to come out and threaten me because I think she could tell that I was on to her little game. Well I'm still going to file a complaint and will send a letter. Does anyone have their address

Why does everyone assume that every company in Jax, Fla is an Ellis Crosby thing? I am with Bass & Assoc. and i hear what is being said and none of what you all are saying is true. If you want to think of the worst than that is fine. We try to help you get out of debt, instead you all waist your time talking to each other about something that isnt true instead of trying to take care of your debt. Even if you didnt pay us you will have to pay someone in long term. So why prolong this? Pay your debt and do the right thing

Then why don't you reveal your address to the people when they ask for it?

Why don't you just go ahead and put it on here then so it's easier for people who need it.

We never kept our address a secret. Should anyone ask for the address, they will recieve it. Now, my question to you as the moderator, why dont you encourage these folks to lift themselves out of the position they put themselves in? Instead, you continually drum up negativity and keep them in a prepetual cycle of their own wrong doing. Additionally, you steer them into consumer credit counseling, so that others profit from the debtors misfortune. Go ahead, pat yourselves on the back for a job not well done.

Call our office and you will get the address. What is an address going to do about your debt? If you call the company you owe they will refer you to us, so why stall?

Never mind that,
Why did I receive two different phone calls from two different people but from the same number and each one told me a different company name. One being Bass & Associates, the other being Interstate Wire Compliance/Prelitigation...but the return phone call for both was the same number. When I aksed for the address both individuals refused to give the information. I'm not just going to send money to somebody who won't give me any information. You have to admit it seems kind of shady. Why are the people telling individuals that they will lose their jobs or have somebody show up at their place of employment. As a collection agency, they are required to validate the debt.
