Jackson Phillips and Associates

Have you checked the BBB website to get their address?

I have a troop that was contacted today. They basically tried to strongarm her into making an $800 payment today and threatened a law suite. She told them she could pay the balance in full on 1 Feb, but they said their client (Platinum B Services) would not allow them to extend it out to another week. I told her not to offer any further payments until they provided info that the debt was valid. The person told her he didn't have to provide her with anything and that he represented Platinum B and not her. Typical debt collection crap. So he just screwed his client out of their payment. We're going to send a letter, certified mail return receipt, requesting debt validation. Then let him tell her he doesn't have to provide her with anything. I did find their address at the BBB website.

You are doing the right thing by asking for debt validation. There is also information about Platinum B on this forum as well. If they are a collection agency, they do have to validate the debt. If they don't, then they cannot attempt further collection on it. This is the law.

I've had plenty of run-in's with debt collectors. I understand they have a job to do, but the hard ball tactics are bullS&%t. Unfortunately they get results. I often wonder how many elderly people end up dying of a stress related illness because of these people. At any rate, my troop has tried to call both Jackson, Phillips and Platinum B Services. Answering machine at one and the other doesn't return calls. That's alright though. debt validation letter is on the way. This is a great forum to get info. The consumers need this info to learn how to protect themselves.

yo macwetzel? are y'all active duty military? you said you have a troop that been getting hit by this company is why I asked.

I also was contacted by Jackson, Phillips and Associates and was very skeptical about sending money to them. The first time Ginger Scott called from there and she said my balance was $325. Then when I called her back to get info on where to send moneygram she said my balance was $1003.50. I am glad I found this forum. Of course she has threatned that my file will be send to local DA's office and I will be picked up at work and charged with larceny, theft, and worthless check. When I called Plantinum B Services to get info on this loan they advised me to call I Collect. I have called there twice and left my nm/# with no return calls as of yet. I am going to send them a debt validation letter and wait to see what happens.

You are not going to have case sent to the DA's office or be arrested at home, work, or anywhere else over this matter. DO NOT send her $1003.50. That is just a load of crap. You need to file complaints with your state's Attorney General's Office as well as the AG where they are located. She is making illegal threats in an attempt to collect a debt.

ICollect sends their accounts to Bass & Associates, which I believe is the same company as Jackson, Phillips and Associates. ICollect only has a # where you leave your info and someone will return your call. I've been waiting 2 weeks for my call.

I had a hard time getting a hold of I-collect as well. I was getting so frustrated that one morning at work I just kept calling over and over..I was just hitting the redial button. Finally a lady picked up and I told her everything that happend with. I-collect was not any bit of help and also refused to give me thier address.

i am dealing with this jackson phillip company and do i get this letter to send , i am new at this
thanks

Welcome! You can get all sorts of good letter templates off PollyandSay's blog. Jackson Phillips is a dba of Bass and Associates--and I think that JP is actually named for the owners of Bass, if I'm not mistaken.
If they try this we're coming to get you line of garbage again, I would just say "good, cause if I'm arrested for a bad check, I sure as hell am not going to be charged a grand for a $300 check!! Guess my debt just got lowered, fools!"

*chuckle*

Hey i was contacted by Jackson Phillips and associates and they bout gave me a heart attack thinking I was going ot be arrested and all. I did a loan with another company and a few days later they were supposed to take out money out my account to pay it off. Well, my bank, protecting me, did not let them do it because they were not recognized. So now a month later I get this call about this and this lady named Fay Thomas from Jackson Phillips and associates calls me and says that I am going to be charged with three counts of fraud larceny and one other thing. I get very scared and was trying to get the money right then and there because she claims that i cant pay them when i get paid which was going to be the next day. She said i got three hours to pay this or i will be in the "system". I am in the military also so she also claims that i will be in trouble by them also. Luckily, I have a cousin who has been a police officer in Jacksonville, FL for 21 years now and is still on the force. He is looking into the matter now of their tactics and they will probably be shut down. Whats evenn worse is that my aunt used to be the attorney general for the state of florida and i told her about it also. So u guys do not worry this matter will be taken car of trust me. THESE PEOPLE ARE A SCAM!!!! DO NO, I repeat, DO NOT SEND THEM JACK SH**!!!!! THEIR DAY HAS FINALLY COME!! VERY SMALL WORLD WE LIVE IN

mailing address for jackson, phillips:

6931 lillian rd, suite 2
jacksonville, fl 32211

am told this is correspondence only, because of course they will not accept payment by mail.

I called on behalf of my daughter, so when I called back to advise them that I was unable to locate them by the phone number they had given, they didn't have any contact info on me. I told them I didn't wish to speak to the rude idiot (Mark W. Watson) that I had spoken to, that I wanted to speak to his supervisor.

They transferred me and put me on hold. When they came on line, I simply asked for mailing address to send a letter. They gave it to me and then asked who I had spoken to. I told them. Said thank you and hung up.

I have recently had dealings with Jackson Phillips as well. I received a threatening phone call and now they are harrassing my boss at work about this also. I need to know how to go about this. I too would like a debt validation because I have not received anything but three nasty phone calls. I would appreciate any advice. Thank You.

Hi Chad,
I think the only thing you can do to get these people off your back, since they're not validating your debt and are obviously trying to shake you down for cash is to contact your local police department. After all, you don't agree you owe the debt and now they are going after your boss, right? They have crossed the line here and must be stopped. They are not willing to work within the law!

Same thing happened to me this morning I got a call at work from Mark Watson at Jackson Phillips & Associates, he threatened to have me arrested at work if I didn't send him $794.00 by this afternoon, I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and nearly had a panic attack, I contacted the original lender and they gave me the I collect # which I have tried calling several times trough out the day to speak with them, but all I get is a answering machine and haven't gotten a call back, I want to settle this debt, but not sure what to do if I can't contact the right person. Someone Please Help!!

Thanks,

You will not be arrested!! These are scare tactics these people like to use to get people to pay. Whoever the original lender is, they are most more than likely not even licensed in your state to lend. You said this Mark Watson wanted $794? How much was your original loan for and how much have you paid back in rollovers(interest)? What was the name of the original lender?

I just got contacted at work by a Jennifer Clayton. She said the I-Collect had turned me over to them and they were going to turn me over to the State of Indiana for fraud. I have never received anything from I-collect and this is the first time I have recevid a phone call from this company. They said the loan debt was from 2005 in the amount of $200 and now they want me to pay 410.30. What is this all about? I am not sure what to do. Can someone help?

Ok, I have a question and need help. I was contacted by Jennifer Clayton from Jackson Phillips and Associates and they are saying that I owe a debt to a company from 2005 which was originally 200.00 and now saying I owe 410.30. She said that I-Collect had tried to contact me, which they haven't and now they are going to turn me over to the Attorney General's Office for the debt. I have never heard of this company and this was the first contact that I have had with them. What do I do? I need help.

Storms--

Don't worry at all about this company. They are just trying to scare you into paying. Many of us on this site have dealt with this company or one of their dba's.

Jackson, Phillips and assocates are nothing but trying to scare you all in paying, probaly a past payday loan. THEY CANNOT put you in jail because you have not paid your debt to them and them threatening to do so is against the law, I so cant wait to hear from Fay Thomas in the morning because she has called me also I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT GO TO JAIL this is 2nd payday loan company that has tried this tatic with me
a few questions to think aobut or even ask is
1. is the payday loan compamy licensed to do business in your state?
2. Are they licensed to collect debt in your state? if not screw them good luck all and dont worry you wont and cant go to jail if you dont pay them

this guy calls my work number leaves a message that either myself or my attorney needs to contact him i then call the number left and some lady picked up i asked the name of the company and what type of buss. this is she would not disclose the info.. whats the big secret

i just spoke with this scott washington guy it is a payday loan issue, when i asked him if our conversation was being recorded he hung up, anyone no why??

I just picked up a message from a Howard Stern ( ironic isn't it) from Jackson White and Associates and it was threatening and very scarry. Thank god I found all of these postings or I would not sleep until the morning when I can get ahold of one of them.
He just said that time was against me and that I needed to call them about a legal matter of dept. No amount and no company to whom it is owed. They better not be calling anyone at work or I will sue them. I guess I will call them in the morning and ask for verification of the debt. If I owe it I will pay but they need to tell me who I owe it too. And it better not be for any loan from years ago because I have already on more that one occasion had to prove that I paid any outstanding payday loans from 5 years ago. I am tired of pulling these documents out of storage and worrying about wheather I have saved them. How long can they try and collect on these paid loans?

This company is also BASS AND ASSOCIATES.

Here is a address for Jackson, Phillips & Associates
6931 Lillian RD #2, Jacksonville, Fl 32211. I am in the process of writing them a cease letter because of the harrassing phone calls that I am getting.

i went threw the same thing with that company fay thomas got me for 150 dollars and she said if i dont get the money the next day she was going to have a lawsuit against me or i will go to jail im going to call the ag on her today

Jackson phillip and associates called me at my job and threatned that they will get my local sheriffs office to have them serve me paperwork so that i could go to court. I am constantly calling them people and getting different folks on the they keep transferring me to a guy named mark watson and he is screaming at me demanding me to send him 499.80 and another lady is telling me to send her 300.00 dollars they want let you pay any other amount besides the amount what they want you to have. They arene't trying to help anyone. I am calling the law immediately.

Um they make it sound like they are coming to pick me up and take me to jail and i can't get a person on the phone, over a payday loan of 20o$ that they have already taken over 600 from my checking acct . So i closed my acct. They sure can intimidate u, so are they coming to get me or what?

I just got a call from Jackson Phillips and the guy said that I had to pay 500.00 dollars by the end of the day or I would have to get a lawyer to handle my case. He also said that if I can afford a lawyer then I can afford to pay 500.00. He even went as far as to say borrow the money from your friends.

Please refer to advice I posted above. These government agencies can be very useful in helping to solve problems.

ellis crosby at it again i wonder what name he going to use next..the florida ag office needs to know about these and associates coming out of jacksonville

I just received a call from the Jackson Phillip Ass and told me that i had to pay 541.81, i dont know what do can some one just tell me i dont have the money right now....

vivi18,

just tell them to sue you or call the police on you , the police will laugh at them because they are using illegal collecting pratices dont stress they cant do anything but threaten

Class action anyone? Anybody know a good attorney?

Anyone got a number for these losers? They keep calling me but no number will be given.

I just got a call from Mark W. Watson with Jackson, Phillips and Associates telling me they were going to send someone on my job to arrest me as a multiple violator for misappropriation of federal funds and they have collected this information and sent to the FBI and DA's office in my area for a loan I received that ended up costing so much in bank fees they account was closed. Should I be worried I only borrowed $260 and I receieved two loans. They are now asking me to send them $1160 by noon today. What should I do?

What's their number????

Call their BLUFF LISA! They are lying to you! They cannot put you in jail for this....I promise you that no one is coming to arrest you...First-they do not give you warning that you are being arrested...Second-it is illegal for them to tell you that (you have rights!), and 3-you are not a multipe violater for misappropriatrion...this is all just one intimidation tactic to scare people into giving them money! I had Bass and Assoc. do the same thing to me and I didn't send them a freaking dime!

I have received the same call from Faye Thomas telling me to send her 682.00 on a loan that I didn't even get. She told me if I didn't send it to her by this morning then I would also be charged with misappropriation of federal funds. I have a number for her. 1-800-871-7730. I am so glad I found this blog....I was reallllllly intimidated by her.

I dont know but doesnt it seem like by using the term misappropriation of federal funds they are claiming that they work for the government? Or are somehow affiliated with the government??? That is definately illegal,,,,

Yea she told me that it was misappropriation of Federal funds because the loan was granted thru U.S. National bank.

There is no US national bank...

Is there anything I should do or send her to make her stop calling and threatening???@!!!!

Where can I find information as to if a payday loan company in liscened in my state of Texas??

just received another call from Faye Thomas from Jackson Phillips and Associates. She left a message on my cell phone that said "I wish you all the luck because you are going to need it". Then she called my work. My receptionist is screening my call because I have told her what is going on with this company. When my receptionist asked her if this was a personal business matter, she responded with "Are you just a receptionist" "You sure are a nosy one!"....What do I do??? How do I make her stop calling me??? Are we sure that they cannot have me arrested??
