hello

i had a called about the same thing that everyone went through. my call came in on tuesday afternoon from a rene ward with ellis crosby and associates. i had returned the call then she transferred me to another person. his name was mr. greenberg the director. he asked me when i could pay off the two balances i had and gave me until 11:00am the next morning. then on wednesday, he called and asked why i did not make the payment to them. i told him i had spoken to rene and she allowed me more time until friday. so today she had left me a message on my cell phone and work phone. after reading all the experiences had, i am going to talk to a lawyer about this. i would like to see proof of the transactions against me and see how did the original balance accumulate to this higher balance owed. i feel it is unfair for everyone to go through this. i felt scared when i got the call but after reading the forum, i am not alone in this.

There is no debt prison if the payments are in defaults.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the letter!
Ok...so has anyone heard from Ellis, and then NOT heard from them again???? That's my situation, which I find strange...

There are many instances in this forum when our members reported that the said collection agency did not call after receiving the cease and desist letter.

I just received a call on my job from a James Freeman who stated he worked for Ellis Crosby & Associates. He left a message. I call back to get information on the company because I don't remember dealing with this company or even receiving something in the mail. I call back and spoke with Leslie and she started attempting to collect a debt for GTO and I stated who is this company and I need something in writing. She told me that she was not going to send me something in writing and then she started quoted my screen name for an online payment. She stated the debt was for $650.00. I told her I don't remember taken a loan out nothing near that amount. She told me I had until 4:00 today to pay or further procedures will start. I told her and I was being very honest. You will not received 650.00 from me today and again I need something in writing. She completely refused to provide me with something. I then asked her if she had ever sent me something in writing and she stated 6/14. I told her why are you calling now. She completely lied and would not give me information regarding the company in which she was trying to collect on. Again, another example of this company attempting to collect but not providing the correct information.

Hi Debra,

Welcome to the forums. Please keep yourself updated in this forum because Florida state attorney general has terminated Ellis Crosby from doing business.

Moreover, the said company has more than 120 complaints filed against them and you can also file your complaints at the FTC, BBB and request for urgent attention.

Regards
Roxette

Thanks Roxette,

Because the lady wouldn't give me anything in writing I immediately log onto the internet and found this web-stite and I am so glad I did. This web-site gave me so much information on this company.

I thank all of you!!!

I just received a phone call from them at my place of employment...when I went to get on the phone with them, they had me on hold..so I hung up. Are they still suspended from practicing collection?? Please help, they have me worried

They are being sued by the Attorney General's office of Florida. Contact their office, you can find the numbers on myfloridalegal.com, and ask for Summer Saladino she is the person working on the case.
She will tell you how to handle this
Have a wonderful day!

I hadn't heard from Ellis in WEEKS...and this morning I get a call on my cell phone from Renee Ward telling me affidavits are being "down loaded" to where I live...I told her that I wasn't playing her game, and hung up...She hasn't called back...but I'm confused...because the accounts I had with them were sold to Elin Collectage, and even Elin told me Ellis was being sued....so why are these people still calling me?

I wished I knew that too. Apparently alot of the EC accounts were sold to Elin and EC is still attempting to collect on them. That to me sounds like fraud. EC is trying to get people to pay them money for a debt that is not legally theirs to collect. Are you positive your debt was sold to Elin? I mean, has Elin provided you with information to validate that? If they have, then EC is definetely committing fraud and need to be reported to the Florida Attorney General.
