Bass and Associates are visiting this site

I wont ever pay Bass a dime.

I dont owe them.

Go away Bass.

Anthony,

We obviously know they are visiting the forums. That is where their "good" reputation is coming from LOL!! The positive posts have to be coming from an employee of Bass.

This is no big surprise to me. We also have people from Sonic on here as well. It's good to know that they're checking us out and they're scared.

Yep, they wouldn't be here if they weren't worried. I bet we have visitors from a lot of different PDLS and collection agencies. Hope they're enjoying themselves..Looks like they've got an awful lot of time on their hands.

I finally, after having read about them here got a call from them myself. The guy tried to start his arrest and fraud speech, but I cut him off at the knees. I told him I and my attorney, who is helping me get out of debt, had researched Bass and Associates VERY well, were aware of the tactics they employed, all the complaints against them, that I would file one myself if they called back, and gave him the history for that Jacobs @$$h0le. I conculded my tirade by saying you may never call me at home, cell or work, I would never deal with them directly, and gave him my attorney's phone number and said she represents me and speakes for me. He said thank you and hung up. Needless to say, neither me or my attorney have been called since.

Be strong, get representation if you can, but the bullies shrink back when you turn the tables onthem. Remember that.

They have been coming here for a very long time. People remember Beauty? She worked for Bass. Along with others, she would be on her simultaneously with other co-workers. How do I know this? It was included in the threatening pm she sent me some time back.

Oh my..I forgot all about Beauty. I knew she worked for a CA, I don't think I knew it was Bass, though.

What is so funny about that letter is the fact that Mr. Ellis can't even pay his own freaking bills. What nerve to call consumers and make such false threats when the damn company can't even follow their own advice.

I agree with you, Steelers. :D

This comes as no surprise to me either. I think alot of the payday companies have been visiting here alot. Beauty and of couse Pedro and FTR manager. I guess we do have them a little worried or maybe business is SLOW. LOL KYSIDE38

I agree with you Steelers, Fins, Anthony and Kyside and nothing surprises me at all about the colectors or the pdls. I think that there are a lot more of their spies on here than we think and I think that they are the reason for some - if not all of the slamming and bashing going on here. If you read som of the posts much of the verbage is the same and when I see that I go to a different thread.

Lies, lies, and more lies. When will you all stop spreading lies about such a reputable company, such as Bass and Associates? Don't you think that treating a company held in high regards by the Better Business Bureau like this is not very adult-like? Pay your bills and grow up.

LOL! Tell those voices in your head to shut up. Better yet, if you take your meds as prescribed your delusions will come under control. Maybe the owner should pay his.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many of the collectors of all the unsavory firms we've mentioned are convicted felons.

As to IP numbers, they can confuse sometimes. Once, when I was with an ISP, it appeared like I was posting from Oregon, with another, from Washington.

Awe common now Steelers - lets not be too hard on the poor little fella - what with the full moon and change in the weather this week he probably reverted to the loony that he was before the meds. Call me a bit paranoid, but guests like this just add credence to what I posted earlier.

They lend credence..AND they give us some entertainment! I don't agree with you, guest! :D

Thousands of people with mass hysteria? What are the odds that we choose a reputable company to lie about? Very hilarious.

You're right Mr Lemons. LOL I visit a collectors forum every now and again to see what the other side is doing. Many are worried about the "increasing number of law suits" by alleged debtors, and nowadays the average debtor (thanks to forums such as this) are more informed about the law than the collector is.

Bass & Associates, a reputable company? Let me stop laughing and then I'll respond LOL!

:shock: :shock: If they are so called reputable,how does one become disreputable!As to the bbb records,last I checked bass was in the shi**** according to their records.

Can this company not be sued for extortion? I can't believe the audacity and nerve of these Bass people. What a bunch of slimeballs.

Yes they can, but the individual debtor has to be the one to file the charges. It has been done to collectors before.

Oh my freakin' god. Bass in high esteem with the BBB? They must really think we ARE stupid!!! Now has everyone who has had the misfortune to deal with these douchebags been emailing the Florida Times-Union? It needs to happen!! The more publicity they get, the greater chance they will have their doors closed. And if they aren't paying their bills, are their paychecks bouncing? If they are, then their collectors need to get the Florida Labor Board involved.

Just to add to labor comment.I spend anywhere from 4-6 weeks at a time on a drilling rig and you can bet I will run from that rig if my company bounces one of my paychecks.

I have sent four emails already to the Jacksonville Times-Union, have not heard anything back yet. Come on and add to my emails, it may raise some eyebrows.

I'd love to see the articles posted here when and if they do make the news - in a bad way. I've never dealt with these people, but I see so many horror stories here about them that I'd love to see them taken down just on principle.

Lets all spend 5 minutes sending them an email. Get enough of us, and it may get some spotlight.

I'm all for it, to expose them for what they are.

I'm off for the night, doesn't seem to be anyone else (including kscornell, also from the Bay Area) from the left coast on tonight.

Can someone pm me the e-mail address?

Me too

Who or what is "beauty"?

Hey Tweety, Beauty is a registered member that used to post here a while back.Steeler confirmed that member was a collector for Bass

AH- OK......so are we emailing them? If so, please PM me the address :)

I wasn't logged in, damn it. My two comments above.

Have you guys really emailed them?

I will TOTALLY email them if everyone else is going to. I really want these guys to go down. THey are so slimy and WRONG!

I will definately email them and let their mouths fill with saliva when I mention the hundreds of complaints we get here on the board.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Email sent.Hope he likes a juicy story.I even attached a copy of their official Florida collection license so he would have verified contact information.

I got a resonse in less than 24 hours from the paper :shock: :shock: :shock:!I would guess they are interested in our tale. Posted pub topic on it with email. Go check it out and get in touch with that reporter.

I have been contacted by bass and Associates. They are trying to contact me for money. Does anyone ahve any suggestions on what i should do or how i should go about this with them? Thanks

Blue,contact the florida attorney general,don't give them a dime,and contact reporter listed up above in topic.

Also, send them a debt validation letter to their Florida address. Put in their not to contact you by phone, at work and home, regarding this matter. They must validate the debt before any more attempts are made to collect on this matter. I doubt they will validate it though. They didn't in my case. :roll:

They didnt validate my balance for me....I havent paid a dime.....cant do that if I dont know the balance~

Exactly....can't pay on a balance that has not been legally validated.

how can they legally validate a debt that is not really valid? I have come to the conclusion that is why they do not send validation letters...because they cannot legally back up the bull they are saying!

You're quite right Leah. Generally it is because there is nothing they can send. Mostly, when they purchase a group of debts, it's only names and amounts allegedly owed. Especially recently, with so many very old debts being bought. How could they provide much on a debt from say, 1995 on which the SOL has long run.
