ellis, Crosby & Associates

Hi Sam
Welcome to forums

Yes Ellis Crosby and Associates are suspended from collection activity by the ACA Ethics and Professional Responsibility Committee. The suspension will be effective from June 1, 2005. It will last for ninety days.

During this period Ellis Crosby and associates will be doing all those tasks which are ordered by the Ethics Committee. The membership is suspended by the Ethics Committee.

After ninety days are over and if the ACA Ethics and Professional Responsibility Committee found that the Ellis Crosby is following the rules and regulation while conducting the business they may uplift the suspension order.

Hope to hear from you soon

Regards
Peter

Peter it does not appear to me that Ellis and Crosby are actually doing what they are supposed to, cleaning up their act. And they are still doing it. So apparently they are not doing as ordered by the Ethics committe.

If they are suspended from collection activity for 90 why are they harrissing me.The 90 period would end on 9/1/05. What can I do inregards to these unruling people

Tmichelle - Their membership has been suspended by the ACA International and as a result, they are restricted from continuing business.

However, this does not stop them from making telephone calls to the innocent debtors and forcing them to pay their debts. This is the reason they are involved in such malicious acts.

As this company is based in Florida, you can exercise your consumer rights by filing a case against them at the District Attorney office, FTC, Better Business Bureau and request them for immediate action.

They just called me and said that the phone converstations are being recorded because of the BBB. Then he still said some rude things like I closed my bank account when I didn't, that it was against the law under some chapter law. He stated that I should call an attorney because it was a white collar crime. I told him that I know that is not true. He said he wasn't going to argue with me and hung up in my face. That right there tells me that they're full of bull.

I wanted to know if a debt is sent to a collection agency, can you still pay the company the debt originated from or do you have to pay the collection agency.

I received a call on 08/04/05 and with all the same things.

If we all contact the appropriate personnel, such as FTC, BBB, ACA, etc., then we'd be creating a huge uproar about Ellis, which is a GREAT idea. Every complaint counts, so if they're harassing you: write letters, emails, make phone calls...have your complaint heard. We cannot have these people harassing others everyday.

I sent a long letter to the FTC and not only did I help have Ellis looked into, it was a good vent!

These people should not be allowed to practice any service except busting rocks.

I just received a threatening call from Ellis Crosby & Assoc, they woundn't tell me what company they were calling for, then gave me two different bank names. They cited 5-6 supposed high crimes and that I would get arrested if I didn't pay over 4 times the amount of the loan by 2 today. They were very specific in their threats.

How do I find out if ellis crosby and associates has taken the money I sent to them and used it to pay off the debt they took over from a company I owed. They had me pay them via western union and said they would send me a letter. I am now afraid from the letters Ive read about them that I was scammed. To those who are being harrased by them I know your pain. They called me at work and threatened me with everything under the sun including jail. They also called my boss and started asking all kinds of inappropriate questions thankfully I had an understanding boss and informed him of my situation.I hope that these people are held accountable for there actions. I am sure like myself most people are making an attempt to get out of debt but it can be overwhelming when you caught up in it. No one has the right to make you feel like a criminal and verbally tear you down.

May I know the day when you sent your payment through the Western Money? Usually, it takes two to three days to get transferred into the other account.

If you can contact Western Money and if it is in the processing and not yet transferred, you can recover your hard earned money.

I did 3 things that kind of chased Ellis off: laughed at them, reminded them that they are suspended (the woman on the phone kind of panicked), and didn't give them a dime.
If they're so legit, they'll contact my county court and then I'll go from there. But they don't seem to be heading in that direction.

I just received a phone call threatening legal action if payment not made by 4:00 today. They said it would go to my local court and I would be charged with fraud. I asked for the name of the party filing against me and I was told a name I never heard of. They said banks change names, etc. What should I do. I also asked for proof and they didn't answer me on this.

BAK - You need not to panic regarding these phone calls as it is very common in this forum.

Please read the various posts of Ellis Crosby and Associates in this forum and get yourself familiar while dealing with them.

No matter, what they say and what they intend to do, remember, they are under legal surveillance and are restricted from doing normal business.

Regarding the phone calls, record them, file complaints at the FTC, BBB, DA's office and request immediate action. I am sure we all are about to see some good action very soon. It's already in the process.

Detective Jordan O'conner (so called) said that he was calling my ip office and was going to get me fired, but failed to tell me what it was for. He asked who my boss was. I asked them about being suspened and they told me that the person that called me was in the Processing department

Nkb - Be careful of these tricks. Do not disclose your personal information because it is not at all necessary. Right!!

Lastly, be rest assured that these people cannot hurt you in anyway. These are just bad techniques to scare you. You can tackle them by being a bit stronger.

I have been sick for the past 2 weeks. I have not been working so when I got paid I was only paid for 1 week, so I sent Ellis Crosby $40.00. Do you know that they called me and told me that they are going to send back my money and that is not the amount they asked me to send, and that I better send all of it by 3pm today or they will have me arrested.

Hi MASON3212

Welcome to the forums. If they can send you the money, then you should be very happy about it.

If you read the various posts in this forum, you will come to know that you actually made the wrong move of sending money to them. Their business operation is undergoing legal surveillance and their membership is revoked.

Threatening jail is one of the many illegal tricks being used by Ellis Crosby. You do not need to worry about it at all. Be rest assured that you are just doing the right thing of not sending money to them.

Try every possible way to get the money which you sent earlier. You can say that you will think about it after they have sent you the money back.

There is nothing to fear. Staying informed in this forum will be helpful.

I just received a phone call at home from Richard Steel saying that this is a documented attempt to reach my and that either myself or my attorney needs to call him back about this matter. wouldn't say what it was and when i called back no one answered.

what should i do?

wow,

I had received a message to call this company and immediately looked up the name with bbb and came across the link to your site. Wonderful information. Also found link to ACA ethics and professional resonsibility committee and discovered their membership has been terminated as of 8-9-05. If they harass or threaten me due to all I have read on your sight I will be filing complaints. I admit to getting myself in the situation I am in but am also working hard to correct it.

I just wanted to let everyone know of the e-mail I received below...please read...


Please be advised that Ellis Crosby & Associates' membership has been terminated so they are no longer a member of this Association; therefore, ACA cannot intervene with regard to this matter. If you are unable to resolve the dispute directly with the agency, you may wish to contact your Secretary of State, Attorney General or own legal counsel for direction.

ACA is a trade association for the credit and collection industry. Membership in our association is voluntary. Since ACA is not a regulatory agency, termination of membership in ACA does not have an affect on the ability of the company to continue their business practices.


THIS IS DIRECTORY FROM THE ACA

Hi rake_66

Welcome to the forums. Please make sure of the caller who tried to contact you. If it happens to be someone from Ellis Crosby, then you need to make yourself familiar with their illegal activities.

Please read this forum carefully and make yourself well prepared before you make any commitment.

still waiting on the return phone call. i guess he is in no hurry to contact me back. after reading these forums i can't believe it. about two months ago someone from there had called me about some loan i had done over the net and i believed him when he said that i would get arrested, he had claimed to be on the other line with the county sherrifs office here in houston and that they were on their way to my office. but if i paid by 6 pm he could stop them from coming for me. of course being stupid i borrowed the money to pay it. but later learned they couldn't do that to me. so this time i wont fall for it. :x

:!:

Hi rake_66

I appreciate that you are aware of your consumer rights. Everything needs to proven legally on a piece of paper. Verbal comments can't prove anything.

If these calls sound harassing to you, you can record all the telephonic conversation and present it to your lawyer. He will do the needful for you.

Not sure if this is the same "investigator" calling and being extremly rude. Ellis Crosby and Assoc. Can someone help me!

If you read this forum, you will find most of the community members are facing the same kind of problem. Ellis Crosby is all over and is continuing illegal actions.

I guess you will have to wait till their next call.
