Hi,
Boy am i glad this sight is here, today I get a phone call from a Ranae Ward from Ellis Crosby and Associates saying I am going to court if i don't take this one time offer and pay back the loan advance I took out from e-payday. The original loan was for $200 and Ellis,Crosby and Associates told me that I owe them $515. E-payday has already taken $360 out of my checking account, I think that's enough. If I don't answer Ellis Crosby and Associates will i go to court? Do I need a lawyer? Can I sue them for harassment for calling me at work?

teresa-
Yes you can sue for harrasment, pain and suffering.

I had the same problem last month. I too paid the loan but they calle me saying I owed 575. I told them I could only give them 200 now an the rest when I get paid. They also told me I needed a lawyer that charges were to be filed against me to county I live in. In the mean time they called my job told me that an officer would be there to arrest me if I did not make the payment. I paid them off and they told me that I would get a letter. That was 7/15 To now I have not received a letter. I am going to call them tomorrow to talk to the idiot who threaten me to death. What I would do is call the original people you did the loan with and talk to them not the ellis crosby people. They are snakes.

Good Luck.
Gen

Gen - Do not get tensed because you have not done anything wrong. It is Ellis people who have been entirely involved in illegal acts. They deserve severe punishment

Please contact Summer Saladino, she works for the Attorney Generals office in Florida and I called to find out where I can complain and I described my situation to her and before I said who I was complaining about, she already knew!!! She said that numerous people have been complaining about them and they are looking to take action against them but they need sworn statements. This means she'll send you some documents, you write your complaint and then get it notorized and send it back. This is our chance to get back at the company that has us stressed out, scared and at our wits end. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!

I received a phone call today from one of Ellis Crosby and Associates "investigators" and they told me that I needed to pay $515 today or that they were going to file charges against me and arrest me. Can anyone share any insight on if they are capable of doing that to people?

No they cannot do anything to you, Next time they call tell them not to call you.

WOW i really bet they are having a hard time getting people to pay because of this site. I mean 30 some odd people comeon here and share their experiences and none of us will pay until they shape up their act.

please don't use this website just to complain..even though it is informative please take that extra step to stop this comnpany

drac464@hotmail.com · Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2005 2:25 pm Subject: shut it down

This same company called my job an were extremely rude,but you can't get intimidated,instead get educated.Take avantage of this opportunity to become wiser. I guess I am a born fighter. I complained to the better business bureau,money gram(wire transfer company), the ACA and I gave my boss a heads up so she would be prepared if someone called her. I also have a workmens comp case and had my attorney call them,but of course ellis and crosby rep was in a conference meeting. yeah right. my attorney is waiting for their return call. also remember every state has legal aid to assist people with legal questions even if you do not have a lot of money. They would not even answer any questions and would not tell me their business name so I contacted money gram and gave them the receive code and sure enough it is under ellis and crosby. This website has put me at ease. The phone number for moneygram is 800 moneygram.. i also reported it to ifccfbi.gov ...it's the fbi's website and i gave them the name of this website so they can see it is many victims. i urge as many of you to complain to the fbi
website to make a point and shut down this company and if you complain to moneygram or their wire tranfer company ,they can't get funds.

Thank you for the information. I made a complaint with the FTC yesterday and the gentleman I spoke to gave me the FTC website so that I could educated myself on right and wrong practices of collection agencies. I also put in a phone call to the Florida Attorney General office. I plan to pay only what I owe and nothing more. Thanks everyone!

I haven't gotten any more phone calls since yesterday from Ellis Crosby and Associates. They called me once and told me I had until 3pm or they were filing charges and I haven't heard back from them since. Does this mean they have given up?

If you don't take their calls seriously, they won't disturb you. Just avoid them. You can get more information on this website and make yourself well informed.

I am a paralegal in a Central Florida law firm. I was telephoned at work by a nasty femal representative of this collection agency. When I asked her why she was speaking in such a hostile tone of voice and trying to intimidate me, she replied, "Ma'am, if I wanted to really intimiate you, I'd just go ahead and sign a subpoena and send it to your law firm. Now what do you think?" I countered, "Well, unless you have a damned J.D. on your wall, you certainly won't be signing any subpoena. In fact, I'm not even a direct employee of my lawfirm, I'm a subcontractor. Further, I'm glad I wrote down your name and extension since I'll be contacting the state attorney general and leting them know of your blatant violations of the Fair Debt Collection Act. Now, let's see if you want to be stupid enough to call me again at work. Since you've already been so very kind in providing me your firm's facsimile number, you can immediately expect a cease and desist letter. I'm so hopefuly you enjoy the rest of your day." Then I just hung up. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE INDIVIDUAL'S NAME AND EXTENSION!

Well, here's another name to add to the Ellis Crosby & Associates list ..... Paul Klein. I have a payday loan with a company and because of family illness I have not been able to pay it back as quickly as they would like. So ... they turned it over to these idiots. Well this Klein guy called me at work today, told me I had to send $680 (for a $300 pdl), and if I didn't do it by 3PM they would have me arrested. So, I tried to make payment arrangements with them ... $380 on Friday and the balance in two weeks. Well Mr Klein kept telling me to hold on, he had to talk to the person at the "bank" I took the loan from. I asked for that person's name and telephone # and my request was refused. After three telephone calls to Mr. Klein, he finally answered and said he would call me back in 10 minutes ... that was 4 hours ago. Then I found this website. I called Mr. Klein back, told him that I wanted, in writing, the amount that I owed, the company I owed it to, and a contact name at that company. I also told him not to call my office any more, that I had found out that Ellis Crosby & Associates had been expelled from ACA International, that they have had 86 complaints about their practices to the BBB, and that I was going to call the Attorney General's office because what they were doing was nothing less than threatening and harrassment. I will call Sandra Saladino and request whatever paperwork I need to sign to put these people in their place.
