Nope, they can't have you arrested and it's against he law for them to threaten you with that. Don't send this company anymore money. Tell them you want the debt validated or they won't see another dime.

Did you send money without getting the debt validated? How do you know if the company is actually authorized for the collections on your file?

Well, now that your money is already with them, keep the receipts of your payments as your proof. This might be required later. Confirm from them in writing that they have posted your money towards the account and want to know the balance due.

Make these scum eaters validate the debt. They are located in Jacksonville, Florida and their famous line is you will be arrested. They are in strict violation of the fdcpa. Do not send them anything else. They are not Bass & Associates, they are Bass Prelitigations and they are using another companies name out of Arizona. There is a member of the forums that received a letter from the Arizona Bass & Associates that clearly stated they are no way affliated with them.

I am getting calls from the Jacksonville location. Is there an address for them so that I can request a debt validation?

Several people have been trying to get an address for this company. They seem to have a problem with giving it out, because they know they are wrong in their collection tactics. If you click on the link I pasted in my post above, an address was posted in that forum by a person claiming to be an employee. Not sure if the address is legit or not, but I believe a couple of members have tried sending letters to it. Haven't heard if they received anything back.

So far I have paied them $450 and I owr 600 more and theywant me to pay them $150 every week untill this is paied off. But I dont have an extra $150 to pay them and I am not going to fall behind again on my house payment again because of them . Any one have any advice?

File a complaint with the FL Ag's office. I believe FL has multiple upon multiple complaints about this company. That would be a start in dealing with these guys.

Did you get anything in the mail yet from them? I have not got anything from them yet they are suppose to be sending me something this week, I will just have to see if I get anything. This is the 3rd time I have asked them to mail me something .

I know that these people are getting all of these phone calls from Bass & Associates, but I want to know how are they getting the information about a payday loan and if they are not legitamate, why haven't they been traced or dealt with? Why are many Americans getting harrassed by them now, if they have all of these letigations against them?

The address for Bass & Assoc is:
9378 Arlington Suite 323
Jacksonville, FL 32225
866-900-7694

Another # for Bass is (877)281-2224.

Tyrone, My best answer to this would be that they think they are above the law. They violate the law every time they threaten people and they seem to get away with it. Hopefully some action will be taken against this company. KYSIDE38
