they are calling my job and threatening me and asking to put my business out there to my supervisor. I'm told they are not supposed to do that. and the way they harass me puts me off. I want to pay the original lender not bass & associates because they are obnoxious.

how do I stop or block them from calling my job? I can't focus and they are difficult to work with that's why I became skeptical of them. who are they really?

I would send a verbal cease and desist letter, informing them that the only acceptable method of communication is through the mail. Make sure you send it return reciept, I have yet to see a positive post about this CA out of thousands.

cajunbulldog has posted a sticky that simplifies your fdcpa rights. I recommend reading it, especially when dealing with this CA, you'll find it in the "Dealing with collection agencies" forum.

I never even got a formal name from any of them, only that they were DW Griffey (this immediately raised red flags because what legitimate company would name themselves as a take off on a racist film director), their phone number, and that they were going to have me thrown in jail for check kiting. She threatened to tell my boss, supervisor, and human resouces that I was using the company computer to commit felonies. She then said that I better get a lawyer. When I stated that I had a lawyer, she said that then I must be guilty. I tried several times to try and give her the number to the legal office that is negotiating my debt, but she would not let me get two words in edgewise. When I was finally able to speak and said once again that I had legal representation negotiating my debts and that she needed to call them, she stated she was not going to call anyone but the FBI. (I believe this is when i started laughing.)
She then said that she was going to get her supervisor to talk to me because I was in big trouble. A man then came on the phone, and started giving me the same basic speech about check kiting, interstate bank fraud, and they were processing the warrants as they were speaking.
I only gave my patent response of "you need to talk to my lawyer". He stated,"you don't have a lawyer; what's his name?" When I began to state the name and number he cut me off and said "i thought not, you need to get real because you are in very big trouble and I am going to tell your supervisor..what is his number". This went on about 15 minutes until he finally figured I wasn't going to rise to the emotional level he was searching. He called back a second time and asked what was my address at work. I gave him the same response of you need to speak to my legal representation. (I guess he was still trying to scare me with the threat of immediate arrest). He cut me off and said "don't worry about it, we have ways of finding out". Well he should since it was written on all my loan applications. I called the debt solutions office and talked to my caseworker who stated "it has to be Ellis Crosby up to their old tricks". I then searched the phone number and found this site. I too had various payday loans, but the debt solutions office convinced me to close my bank account and let them handle negotiations for a pay off to the myriad companies. I am soooo glad I did. I had been in the trap for over 3 years. I've written too much..DO NOT LET THEM SCARE YOU...Thank you for everyone who has written about their story with Ellis, Bass, DW or whatever they are calling themselves today...

I got a call from an Alex Divine about 3 weeks ago......telling me all this stuff that I had committed internet fraud, bad check yada yada.....I asked for the balance and for it in writing he said he was representing US National Bank......asked me if I had ever been arrested and been on probation....... Again I asked for validation- he told me that US National Bank did NOT want my money.....I'm thinking to myself what???? then why the **** call me? Oh and when he called my place of employment the receptionist said to tell her that I was a "suspect".....this is the number 1-877-403-0003....
