I contacted Ms. Ewing today after she called my house again this morning leaving a message saying that she either needed to talk to me or my lawyer. I asked her for a mailing address and she asked what for I told her that I wanted to send a debt validation letter and that it was my right. She told me I gave up that right when i failed to print the verification at the end of my loan form, she also said for me not to contact her anymore that i would be getting something in the mail. I told her that I would be sending a letter to her as well not to call my house or my job again and i hung up. I called back and got a manger on the phone, he gave me a address and a ste num. I told him that this lady threaten to have me arrested, call my job and also notify my husband. He kept asking me was i sure that was what she said because all of their phone call were recorded and i told him yes. I also did research on bass and assoc. and the only one that i could find was a firm also in AR.

Hmm, I was thinking about calling the Bass & Associates in Arizona and making them aware of whats going on....see if maybe they have heard of the place in Florida or if they have received any phone calls.

There is a member in the forums that has sent validation to the Arizona address and they received a letter back that they are not the ones they are looking for. The letter stated that the place in Jacksonville, Florida is fraudulantly using their name and they recommend filing complaints with the Flordia Attorney General. It is only a matter of time before the Jacksonville, FL business is caught. They go by the name Bass Prelitigations.

I will tell you that this woman Ms. Ewing nevers stops. She called my house yesterday morning and left a message on the machine that it was imperative that she talks to me or my lawyer. She also called my job that morning about 9:26 and left the same message on the machine. She then called me back this morning about 11:20 again be very nasty I told her that I am asking her to stop calling me here at my job and at home and that I had a witness hearing me tell her this. I than put my co-worker on the phone and she introduced herself and told her that she was being my witness. I took the phone back never saying anything. I listen to her saying all this that you are doing over the phone just doesn't make any sense at all. Then I contacted a lawyer's office and was told not to send a validation letter to them, but to call the bank and find out where they were sending the money and use that address to contact someone and try to settle this loan.

Oh the person at the lawyer's office also told me as everyone else did to contact the attorney general office. because the state of North Carolina are really cracking down on these loan companies.

i too was contacted by these folks. i did pay before finding this forum, however, i am not troubled because the conversation was not unpleasant. i also found my old contract, called the oc and they told me that my account was turned over to bass. tammy, i read your post above regarding the place in arizona with the same name, there are many companies througout the country with the same name, even law firms. i do not know how you are able to conclude that they are doing this fraudulantly. with that being said, as the moderator, you should be attempting to help, not throw mre fuel on a fire. just my 2 cents

Excuse me, but I seen the letter!!!! If you don't like what I have said thats fine. But, don't attack me! Call the Arizona office and ask them for yourself if you don't believe me.

I am so tired of trying to help people and posting information and then being attacked by people posting as guest. I came here looking for help in November of 2005 and have learned alot from the people on here and from doing research. I am very close to calling it quits if the bashing doesn't quit! I am sick and tired of it.

Tammy, see my post at the bottom of page 7. You are correct. I can confirm that using the name Bass & Associates when your name is actually Bass Prelitigation Services, and falsely directing calls and complaints to the innocent law firm in Arizona IS ACTING FRAUDULENTLY! HELLO McFLY!

I received a call from someone named Sonny Patterson and he told me he was with Bass and Associates, phone no. 877-281-2224, ext 311. I work in a medical call center and he had quite a bit of trouble getting me on the phone. He said it was extremely important he let me know that documents was being download on me at 6pm in Pinellas County for bank fraud, check fraud, internet fraud because of two pdl I have defaulted on. He asked me if I was on probation and if I was I needed to notify my probation officer and I also needed to contact my attorney if I had one. He even case me the case numbers he said was being downloaded. This guy spoke just like some fast talking lawyer (he was talking fast, said he knew I was at work and he was trying to be quick). At any rate it rattled me for the rest of the afternoon. From the post I am reading, I know they are fradulent but I am afraid they are going to continue to call me at work I will lose my job because our phone calls are monitored (this is a very large company). I don't think telling them not to call me at work will stopy them because they already do illegal things and what would one more illegality mean to them. Anyone have any advice how I can stop them? I could write a cease and desist letter but have no idea where to send it. I have found two or three addresses on this site and do not know which one to send it to. Also, this man mentioned something about US National Bank and I have no idea who they are. I'm still a little uncomfortable with what he was saying, but feel a little better since I have read the post on this forum. I have paid these pdl more money than is legally permissable. I closed my bank acct in February and got a few phone calls that I did not return on my cell phone. But somehow these people got my work number which it is very difficult to do. Does anyone have any suggestions, know of this Sonny Patterson, or how I can stop them from calling me at work? Any help or advice will be deeply appreciated. My husband is disabled and I need my job.

Carol, call the bureaus and ask for the address of Bass and Associates. The bureaus should be having their updated address in the system because all collection agencies and creditors report the accounts to them. Go ahead and call one of the bureaus. Once you get the address, send the cease and desist letter through US certified mail with return receipt requested. After receiving your letter, they will be forced to stop further contacts with you at home or your work. Give them option to contact you through mail only so that you remain updated of their moves. The federal laws of cease and desist rule are explained in the FDCPA. If you want a brush up, please read this one and understand the legal methods of communicating with the collectors.

Thank you so much. But which bureaus should I call. I am lost. Your help is so deeply appreciated. I am really not a bad person, but maybe little ignorant, to get messed up with these pdls. A hard lesson learned.
