I had that same call from an Investigator Long
Same threats - my loan was only for 150.and she wanted 507.50, I'm willing to work with her but don't threaten me or treat me inhumanly. Her demand was for 207.50 than 300.00 on the 26th. I made an offer and she refused. I've already filed two complaints one with the DA's and the other with FTC. What do I do from here?

I received numerous calls from Shannon Moore from Ellis Crosby. The first one she told me that they were going to file fraud charges again me if I didn't pay $650 by 2pm the next day. I told her I didn't have that kind of money and she asked me if I had anything of value I could pawn. I told her she has got to be kidding. She had me so worked up trying to figure out how I was going to get this money. She called me again yesterday and again today, at work. Well my best friend just informed me of what was going on with this company so I went ahead and contacted the Fla District Attorney's Office and filed a complaint with the ftc. I am waiting to hear back from them.

Hi Teri,

Welcome to the forums. I expected that the harassing calls from Ellis Crosby will stop by now. Their business has been terminated and they have numerous complaints filed against them from the consumers.

You can record all the telephonic conversation and inform them that you intend to take legal action against them.

So as of today, 8/30/05, they are no longer in business and can't collect money??? I was amazed to read stories similar to mine, where the original debt was $250 and now it is $800 due to miscellaneous fees and charges. Do I still need a lawyer or can I just make payments to pay off the debt?

I would wait until your debt is sold to an HONEST collection agency. Or im thinking of contacting the places i obtained the loans and telling them whats going on with the company they hired and see if they are willing to take payment from me.

Hi Msullens

Please read the various posts of Ellis Crosby in this forum and know the fact that office of the Florida attorney general has filed a legal case against them. This has resulted in the termination of their business activities.

A large number of complaints have already been placed in the BBB, FTC against them. You can also put your formal complaint against them and avoid future harassments.

Hi, welcome to the forums. Being in debt, or not, you have the right not to be harassed. You should take every step in making a complaint against the company that is calling you. Visit the BBB website, and make a complaint with the FTC.

By the way, did Detective Connor say which company he was with, or leave a number?

Regards-
Mike

This is a documented attempt to reach me. There are some issues in her office that are actually bringing her some great concern. At this point and time it would be in my best interest either me or my retained attorney to give them a call back by 5 p.m EST today, which was 3/14. Do not underestimate this is a very sensitive issue because your situation here is growing very time sensitive. Again, her name is Anna Martinez and she's trying to reach me. I can reach her at 800-871-7730 and ask for her office. Good luck
