Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud

Yes, Yes, Yes...file the complaint right now. Do not sit by and allow these crooks to harrass you any longer. In fact, call Bass and Associates, and inform them that you are filing a complaint against them for their illegal tactics and attempted extortion. The Attorney General of Florida is practically begging consumers to report the wrong doings of this criminal collection company. In the meantime, you can send these circus clowns a 'cease and desist letter' which will state for them to never contact you again, by any means, or they will face huge fines and possibly criminal proceedings. Come to my site for a letter that you can send via certified mail. It is on the side on my site.

Send collection agencies this letter via certified mail:

I just called and left a message for Tracey alexander i got the call yesterday saying like everyone else i would be arrested and blah blah blah which was hilarious to me cause well got 4 years law school under my belt(hence the need for a payday loan to pay all my other loans) I advised her that i contacted arrowhead investments and they advised me all i owed was the original 250 i borrowed plus an nsf fee of 25.00 and they were more than happy to work out a payment arrangement with me that would work for me also they advised they were more than happy to take a money order. I advised her to not call my work again or my cell or any other contact number she had for me or i would be contacting the campus police i work for the government and they intercept calls from collectors at my job and advise them they arent allowed to call. Luckily i had a gut feeling from the get go unlike some of the other poor people who got swindled by these fecal stains of a company i wanted to say thank god i looked at this site and seen all the other stories that were 100 percent identical to mine even amounts of repayment and time they expected it by.. and like a previous posting i got called hun also and i live in tennessee where that is acceptable but comeing from a lieing bottom feeding heifer like her i am offended lol thanks again guys.

Good for you. I love when someone basically tells these crooks to fuk off. Be sure to spread the word about these criminals to all of your friends and family. Don't let anyone else give away their money.

I've dealt with this collection agency. I've had several people call me regarding an account in collection. When I phoned them back and asked for an address. They told me what is it that I need to send to them. I told them that I would rather correspond with them from now on. After talking to several people I still didn't get an address. The guy (David) said I wasn't going to demand anything from him.

My point is if I can't verify this account I will not be paying it. I have a common name and i've had several accounts that were supposedly mine that really are not.

I don't have a problem paying any debts. In fact I'm trying to clean up my credit. However, if these people aren't willing to give me the info I need I won't bother with them.

I have been receiving calls from this company, too. Stating that I have committed fraud and that I was going to jail if I didn't pay them $580.00 in one hour. So far I sent them $100.00. Last week I received a call from a Simpson Cash, then the next day it was a Mr. Orenbuaker?
I was the same person using a different alias. Right now I do not know what to do. They always want me to send a money gram to Jacksonville, FL.

This company is full of lies! You did not commit fraud and no one is taking you to jail and it is illegal for them to tell you this....I am still waiting for the authorities to pick me up from several months ago. Simpson Cash? Hello Red flad like that is his real name right? You guys, file complaints with the FL AG because this company is under investigation for many things! I wouldn't send them any money until they validate the account...still waiting for my validation. How do you know that if you send them the money that they are actually posting it correctly??

I read the forum from before and I send a cease and desist letter to Jackson Phillps after they contacted me at home and left a message threatening me with arrest, etc. I also sent a copy of this letter to the Florida AG and a print out of several pages from the forum about them. I think they tried to call me at work this morning (it was a "Michele" and stated that she was a friend of my boss). She wouldn't leave me a name or phone number. When I *69 I couldn't get a phone number for a return call, which made my suspicious. When I wrote to the FL AG I also mentioned the word "extortion." When a person mentions an arrest warrant, don't worry about it. I contacted JD Marketing the other day and they stated that they no longer had my file and that I needed to call "I-Collect." I called a 727 area code # and was told that I couldn't get through and to "check the number again." This is more than likely a cell phone number and I won't waste my time. I, incidentally, work for a law firm and have told these people that I have free logal representation and that I will sue the s--- out of them with no hesitation. So, don't worry about them. You can go on google and type in "cease and desist letters" and look for a format. I did and sent one to Jackson Phillips (certified mail/return receipt requested). I will also send one to JD Marketing since I have the address and I will send one to I-Collect when I get that address. Remember, use the Florida AG's office (you can find that on the net too - his name is Bill McCollum) and send them a copy certified mail/rrr. Hopes this helps.

Thank you for the information! It is always nice when people come on here to give advice as these people can be very intimidating!

I believe that I-Collect is another name Bass goes by. If I am wrong, I'm sure that will be corrected. But I am almost certain it is one in the same? Anybody else thinking the same thing?

I dont know if they are the same company or if I-collect hires Bass to do their collecting...I have a letter from Bass saying they are collecting on behalf of I-collect...only thing is, I do not know who this I-collect is nor do I have a PDL with any company names I-collect...wierd....

I wish to let everyone that wants to know about Bass and Associates, they are a debt collections firm and they have to play by the rules, these rules are that they can not threaten anyone to collect a bad debt they have to advise you of what can happen but they can not say that they are gonna call your job and get you fired, they can not harrass you in any way, if you want them to correspond with you only through the mail then that is what they have to do, they have to be able to provide you with written correspondence on the amount owed if requested through the mail for the total amount due on a bad account, all of these rules are stated on the fcc regulations on the web site; in some states payday loans are illegal and the site should not be available for those people to access these funds so if this has happened to you I work for a debt resolution company called Bryan Financial Services and we would be more than happy to help you please call *** and speak with Jeff Bryan and we can find a solution to this matter. If you borrowed any money you have the legal obligation to pay it back but not an absorment amount of money some of these payday looans are commiting a crime called loan sharking and this is illegal as well. Give us a call.

Solicitation violates this site's TOS. -JediJeff

Wow, a solicitor on this thread? LOL! Steelers, it wouldn't surprise me if this was another name for Bass. They go by a few that I know of. Also, file complaints with your AG's office in your home state as well. Do also with the Federal Trade Commission. If they have left messages on your machines, keep them for future reference. If they are dumb enough to leave illegal threats on your answering machine, then they deserve what's coming to them. This is one of the worst CA's out there right now. (just my opinion)

I received a payday loan and defaulted. A lady that would never give me her name. She stated that they are in the process of systemizing me for intranet fraud, check decption you name it. She told me I hae no chocie but to pay 2 payments of 500.00 each or I will be systemized. My question is this legal?

Please don't get scared of or give these ant farts any of your hardearned money. They are on the run from several government agencies right now and I seriously doubt your loan company would receive a dime in payment from these crooks.

Cajun and I are constantly saying the same thing, because more and more people are coming here to report Bass and Associates wrong doings; Do not wire these crooks your money. They do not put your money to any debt anyway. They are crooked and acting illegally. Even if you do owe money, send them a Letter of Validation, and if they have threatened you in any way, such as arrest or accusations of fraud, please report them to the Florida Attorney General's Office right now. Also, please tell friends and family about them, so they can also spread the word about these criminals.
