Contact their customer service and ask for the consumer protection fraud department. I'm not really sure what their guidelines are, but they should at least tell how to file a complaint against someone who is using a business account for personal use.

sumwhatnormal - Their entire scheme is built on fear mongering. They scare you into paying them money, and in many cases they never actually credit that money to the account in question. They will call and tell you how you're being "investigated for a federal offense" and that whatever state you live in is a "zero-tolerance" state for your offense. They then demand payment immediately or else. That "or else" will never amount to anything. They will harrass you at your workplace, but you can be proactive in that regard by notifying your HR department and supervisor that you are being harrassed and that the company trying to reach you is currently under investigation by the AG of the state of Florida.

Ellis Crosby and Associates
Thanks so much for posting this letter Rich. I recently dealt with Prelitigation Services as well as United Federal Bank, all over the same loan. The collector who initially called me said he was from United Federal Bank. When I asked to speak with his supervisor, he forwarded me to a guy in Prelitigation Services. They said I owed $520. I told them I would settle with them for $420 but that is all I could afford and they accepted it. The day after I paid them, I got a call from ERwin Koch (who has been talked about on this website) about the same debt. I told him I had already paid this the day before and gave him the Moneygram Tracking number. He told me that was fine and as long it was resolved it was fine. Now I find by reading some of these posts that Ellis Crosby and Assoc. are possible the same thing as Prelitigation Services and United Federal Bank. Since I settled with them instead of paying the regular amount they requested, do you think I should send them the letter you posted Rich?? I am afraid after reading all these horror stories, they may come back on me.

If you've received any threats at all from any of these companies, then you need to file a complaint. Ted Crosby is not suppose to be collecting at all, any proof that can be provided to the AG office will help them in their case. The FL AG's office is handling it. If you register as a member on this site, I can forward the information to you in a private message. Regards- Mike

Question
Has anyone heard anything about the court date that was suppose to have taken place in December? I wrote under a different title but I have received no response so thought I'd try to write here since this seems to be more active than the other area is.
I know that Amy Sands of the Attorney General's Office in Florida was filing a law suit and a I had forwarded her an affidavit stating what happened to me and she said in December she would get back with me. I've tried to get in touch with her a few times but to no avail. It is now March and stil have not heard anything. IF anyone has any information to forward, please do so or if they have someone I could talk to regarding this please let me know who they would be. Much appreciated.

Registering on site
Hi, Mikey. Thanks very much. I have tried to register on site and it keeps saying my password is not valid. I will continue to try as I would like to get the address for the Florida AG. In the meantime, do you think I should send a letter to them advising them not to call me at work?? I did pay the one loan but have one more outstanding and I think it has been turned over to this collection agency even though I am trying to deal with the original company. The original company is working with me but says they cannot retrieve it back from the collection agency unless I pay at least half of it. I cannot come up with that until the end of the month and I cannot have these people calling me at work again! It is scaring me!

You should definitely send the cease comm letter. State clearly not to call you at your work. Specify the number and time to call you. You can also tell them to contact you through mails only.
Visit the link below to visit the website of Attorney General of Florida- http://myfloridalegal.com/ BTW, have you registered with this site? You can try the ‘forgot my password' link in the log in page of this site. Keep us posted.

I am also wondering about the case against Ellis, Crosby, and Associates. I filled out paperwork and sent it back to the Attorney General's Office. Ellis, Crosby and Associates are insane and would do anything to get money from people. I got the threatening phone calls as well over a 5 month period. I paid up the first time, but I found this site and wasn't going to pay them the second time they came calling wanting money from me. So if anyone gets any information about this case, please forward the information to me please. I appreciate it.

Ellis Crosby and Associates
I have written a cease and desist letter to Ellis Crosby and have tried to fax it a number of times. However, the fax will not go through. I keep getting a busy signal. The number I am using is 904-928-0722. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Pre Litigation Beauru
Hi I just got a call from these people and she said that she was from the pre litigation breau and she couldnt give me the name of the company that I got this payday loan from. She said the company has changed names a few times within the last year. I asked her the reasons behind that and she didnt have an answer for me. Just that she didnt know. She said something about US Bank or something like that which I remembered that when Ellis and Crosby had called me a few months back they said the same thing. The number she gave me was866-201-4603 and her name was Jessica Henderson. I think its that same people and she said she didnt know anything about them. I think she is lying. Has anyone else gotten calls from these people????

Im not sure but I think so. Did she call you too??? I figured that it was the same people because she didnt want to give me any info and she kept putting me on hold everytime that I would ask her a question. I told her that I wasnt sending money to joe blow off the street if I dont know what that h*** the company I was paying for. But if I know that she called other people than I know that its the same company different name. When I asked her about Ellis and Crosby she said she never heard of them.
