Arrowhead investment filed an order for non payment

There is no such thing as an "Order for NonPayment." Meredith Lawson is not an attorney and Jackson Phillips is just the new name for Bass Prelitigation, a shady collection firm in Jacksonville, FL that is owned and operated by Frank Jackson, an ex-con. The Florida Attorney General has an open investigation of Bass and I would strongly urge you to get in touch with that office. You can file a complaint online at the AG's website.

Make sure you file a complaint against Arrowhead with your own state's banking authorities, too. They aren't licensed in any state so their lending is nothing more than criminal loan-sharking. The address is 1219 Lydia Ave, Kansas City, MO 64106.

vktwinz -

Take a deep breath and relax. Friday has given you excellent advice above.

You cannot be arrested for defaulting on a payday loan. You cannot be fired from your job for defaulting on a payday loan. Your children cannot be taken away for defaulting on a payday loan. You will not go to prison for defaulting on a payday loan.

I know that all sounds redundant, but believe me, those are some of the threats you will hear from some of these payday lenders. They will tell you anything to make you think you HAVE to pay their exorbitant interest rates - until you have them paid off, which will be NEVER, the way they keep stringing you along.

You did the right thing in closing your bank account. That is often the only way to regain control of your money.

Friday is right, there's no such thing as "filing an order for non-payent". Sounds like they were just trying to use a scare tactic by badly pretending to know law, or be an attorney.

Also, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau. You can do these online. It will get more complaints against them. Also, file a complaint with your state's attorney general's office. You can probably do this online as well. There is no reason for you to be threatened like this.

Wow...I guess they had to come up with something more creative this time...Do not worry and please take the advice listed above...The same company tried a similar tactic with me, and I still sit here waiting to go to prison...LOL...I am sorry that you had to deal with that before finding this site...I was lucky enough to have read the threads on this company before they contacted me so I already knew what to expect!

I concur with the advice you have been given and will add the following: Please go to Cajun's thread in the Pub titled "Important Information for Victims of Bass and Associates". There is information there about emailing a reporter with the Jacksonville, Fla paper who is investigating Bass. Please email him. The more stories we can get to him, the better.

I filed with my attorney generals office and arrowhead called me and forgave a loan that I had with them. I got a paid in full and they never bothered me again. File a complaint, print it off and make sure they are aware that you have filed.

can u have your checks garnished for a outstanding payloan?? I got a call from them above and they threatened to have me fired or take all my checks??

Just wanted to add additional info to this blog....I also received a call from meredit Lawson who presented herself as an attorney. She threatened me with the EXACT same things as previously posted. I was crying I was so upset. Some man came on the line pretending to be with the Sheriff's office and told me they were on their way to arrest me. Something in the way he spoke to me as well as Meredith had me doubting their professionalism so I searched her and thankfully located this blog. I immediately contacted the FL Attorney General's office at 1-866-966-7226, who does have an active case against these people but under the name Jackson, Phillips and Associates. I was also advised to contact the FL Dept of Financial Services at 1-800-848-3792 and file a complaint as well as the FL Bar Association at 1-866-352-0707 as none of these people are attorneys. I hope that this info helps someone else as it did me. I have never been so scared as I was today and I would hate for someone to pay these people a single penny. Thank you all so much for the information you provided.

Holy crap.....you guys made me feel 110 percent better....got call at work from Bass I accidentally answered..in past they just say to my secretary "well tell her she's in serious legal trouble" WOW cause thats appropriate to tell people I work with....Anyway my 100 loan turned into 720 and after being called, "WOrthless loser, a criminal, a useless society member, im going to jail, losing my job, the news is coming to my work, and that I should stop playing dumb and be a human being and not a loser to society.........My arrowhead loan was sent to Icollect which INSANELY uses BASS Associates......I called arrowhead who gave me Icollects number and am waiting for a email back. I am terrified BC bass said they are going to file charges against me bc i used a work computer to do illegal money laundering????????????? For real? Im 30 years old, look like im 12 and just needed 100 dollars??????????? Didnt realize what i was getting into. Anyway I am going to contact all better business numbers and all other places to complain listed...but im worried that Icollect will force me to pay BASS and I REFUSE to pay them. ICOLLECTS message said they are not debt collectors but brokers......so if they are just going to refer me to BASS then what? I have been crying for a few hours and waiting for the police to arrest me : (

I too just received a threatening phone call from someone by the name of Paul with Bass Assocs. When i called arrowhead, they said my balance was a certain balance but this paul guy said over seven hundred. he threatened to file charges on me and have me arrested for writing bad checks. arrowhead told me to call icollect but when i called they were closed. i live in the state of louisiana, who should i call. i know you said call florida but do i call those numbers listed for florida if i live in louisiana and what should i do since you say they are not authorized to make loans in any states. should i attempt to make arrangements with icollect? i am scarred
