After reading many the comments by others experiencing threating tactics via collection agencies from past dealings with E-Payday I have decided to give you our story.
At 1PM yesterday my son received a call (at work) from an agency called States Pre-Dispostion Services Inc.. They gave him 1 hour to get them $499 or they would file charges as a ring leader of a fraud group. He told them he could not do this in that amount of time, they then gave him to 4PM put the amount would be $743. We paid via bank check and had to fax them the Express Mail receipt. They will not give us any information about the loan until they have the cash in hand. I checked the fax phone # and found that it is a house in Folkston, GA. The money order went to an address in St. Mary's, GA.
My son has no knowledge of the loan, the date of the loan given by State Pre-Disposition Service happens to be a time when he did not have access to a computer. I have tried contacting the Ohio AG put have had no response as yet. Has anyone had dealings with the group? Thanks


Ok if i'm understanding u correctly u mailed them payment on an acct u have no knowledge of??
If so, and i were u, i would immediately put a stop payment on this check and send out a debt validation letter immediately, return receipt requested!!
Hope this helps u some what,
Ang

BTW, telling him that they would file fraud charges against him was very wrong, as well as a fdcpa violation If I were you I'd contact GA's attorney general and file a complaint as well as place a stop payment on the check. Make them prove that he owes it first and if they take you to court over it contest the validity of the debt as well as file a counter suit for FDCPA violations (accusing him of a crime) Unless they stated they were filing charges as the ring leader of a fraud group (meaning them) then it sounds a little more right :)

:Slaps head: omg your right. I can't believe that I missed that. For anyone who doesn't know Bass and associates are a collection agency out of Florida who engage in all sorts of illegal debt collection practices as well as impersonating court officials, law enforcement, federal agents, etc. They are currently under investigation by the FL state attorney general's office.
