Thank God, I found this website (google search) I have been trying to find a phone number for Bahamas Marketing for months. I never received anything in writing from them. My loan should have been paid off months ago, but they have been taking the fee of $75.00 without me being able to pay off the loan completely. I just tried to call, but the office is closed but I'll call first thing tomorrow. Thanks for info.

Hi ishine271,

Great! Your search in the internet delivered you positive results. You can always take the help of your bank and request them to place a dispute with BMG. The company will verify your accounts and give you the required information. If they don't, you can take some other precautionary measures like closing the checking account and hiring an attorney to deal with them.

Keep in touch with us. You will learn many other useful things here and ways to handle some financial problems.

I have a loan with them and I'm having financial problems at this time. I received a phone call threating to have me arrested and taking to court and also them taking my place of employment to court. Why is it that I cannot get a address to send a payment to them. They would only give me a money gram address to send payment that way and that cost extra money to send. What can I do? Thanks for your help

These are threats for collecting money from you. Being default on a loan is not a criminal offense that they will come to arrest you. Who called you, the original lender or a collection agency?

I to have a loan through BMG and they have called and threatened to have me arrested also, I do have the address for BMG and BMG 10120 S Eastern Henderson, NV 89052 , but the collection company is the one calling and threating to have me arrested and there name is United federal Bank in florida phone # 941-375-6859 but they would not give me and address only moneygram information

MaryRDA, by law, the collection agency contacting you for one of your past debt is legally bound to present you the details of the account in writing. These details must include the complete information about your creditors and calculation of interest rates and other fees. Unless these details are given, you can always refuse to pay them anything. Send a debt validation letter to make your move legal. Once the company has received your request, they must give you the necessary details otherwise should stop calling you. Violation of the FDCPA law will result in legal actions and you can take the help of your attorney.

I hae been trying to fin their website for the longest time but have had no luck. I finally came across an email I had sent to someone at their office asking for their contct info to see when my payment was due. Now that I ran into a little financial trouble and can not pay the $75.00 extension fee, they don't want to answer my emails! So, they will be getting a fax from me this evening! Anyhow, here is their phone & fax # if anyone else needs it:

PHONE 866-224-8776
FAX 866-224-8777

EMAIL ADDRESS OF THE PERSON I USUALLY DEAL WITH aherrmann(at)bahamasmktg.com

I was just called to from a collections agent demanding money and threatening to have me arrested on behalf of Bahamas Marketing Group. He refused to send me anything in writing and he became quite defensive when I stated to him that he needed to send me something in writing and when i refused to send payment by Western Union!

Stick to your plans. You are doing the right thing. Collection agencies must validate the debt in writing. They need to mention the name of the company for which they are collecting. Along with it, you must receive the breakdown of the interest rates and fees along with the principal amount. It will only get clear from that point that the company is authorized for this collection and they are not trying to scam you. Keep your basis strong while dealing with the CAs. It will be good to back up yourself with the FDCPA laws. If possible, get in touch with the original company and work out arrangements with them. They will be pretty easier to deal with.

I also was called and told i was going to be arrested nad my husband was going to be arrested also. And they were going to call child protective services on me. I tried to make payment arranges but they told me i had to pay all of it today by 1:00 by western union. I asked them the address and they told me they were not allowed to give out that info.

I took out a loan with bmg. I have paid the collection agency $300.00. United federal bank. They keep calling my job. They have called 3 times today. Threatening me. I just called bahamas marketing group to let them know that the agency is giving me a hard time and that they won't accept my last payment arrangement. I talked with lindsey at 866-224-8776. She told me to call ana at 904-685-5008 and tell her that i spoke with her and that she would take care of me. Ana wasn't available, but all i had to say was that i talked to lindsey and that was it. They took my payment arrangement. So, hopefully after i pay this last payment, they won't be calling me back. They said after my last payment they will be closing my file. I hope so!

Tammi, when you get the account paid off, make sure that you get the PIF in writing. This will be your records about the account has no further dues.

all these experience sound familiar.I just got of the phone with them making demands and threats of having me arrested at my place of business, refusing to provide any address or written confirmation. only being able to pay by western union colect pay seems fishy to me. when i asked for the information they got very nasty and defensive. i intend to pay them off but suffered some serious hardshipo all at once and am unable. Can they really have me arrested. I didnt think so. they say it is collateral check fraud. please give me some input
