They tried the same thing with me yesterday. The company had already taken out 3 times the amount borrowed and they told me if I did niot get them $1,100 by this morning they were going to call the sheriff. It's nice to know they are full of crap and have tried this before.
Thank You to All.

I can't believe they haven't tried to call me back since I said that I would file complaints against them!

What do I do next? I have emailed the reporter my story, reported them to the BBB, FTC, and Florida Attorney General. Is there a class action suit on the way?
Lets get em! :twisted:

There is not a class action that I am aware of yet.The Florida attorney general is looking into things. If you desire,you could still retain an attorney to file your own suit in Federal court.

they called me at work and on my phone threating to to have the state arrest me and to send a I12 form to my job for fraud and employment verification and they wanted to speakk to my supervisor but would never tell me who the debt was for nor there adrress , just that it was a online payday loan. The lady name was Mrs. Lawson, and Mrs. Williams.They kept telling me that i could not pay it when i got paid i had to have it there by 3pm that day and it was 1pm then. They were very rude to me and unprofessional, i am in the process of filing a complaint as well as my employer agianst them at the Attorney's General office in my state and there state.

This comp just left a message at my job. I too had a pdl..... I have paid on this pdl from October 2006 til present when I closed the account and open a new one. I tried to contact this company several time without prevailing. I personally will not pay them nor will I allow them to belimsh my credit for $300.00. It has costed me $1,260.00 which I have paid todate without one week of contact from this company. I have record that I have made contact with the internet company that made the referral. NO HELP!!!!! They kept taking and taking from me til I had my bank helped me.

I have just gotten a call from Ms. Williams at work. I wasn't here to recive the call. I know for a fact with this information. I will not pay them any thing no mind either. I embrassed to say that they have received over $1300.00 from me for a pdl of $300.00. My bank told me to close the account due to the fact that I was ready to pay them off and there was no contact information. I even re-track via the internet. All the number was either changed or not the branch I need to pay off my debt.

:P i just wanted to tell everyone that posted something on this site about this company saved me over 300 bucks. they have called me and threatened me and hung up on me without giving me a chance to even ask questions so im going to send them a debt validation letter and see what happens. can anyone tell me what their outcome was with them. i would love to hear some feedback. they are terrible people there. no one would give me an address or anything. i almost wanted to take a trip to jax just to see whats was really up!!!

Don't pay these crooks a dime. They are Bass and Associates in disguise. Report their threats ASAP to the Attorney General of Florida and your state.

The more reports, the better!

Well looks like they hooked one Jackson Phillips that is, Thay called my employer and told them i needed to get an attorney and call them...I immediately got a call from my Boss, wanting to know what was going on. I feared for my Job more then them, But I paid up...
Still have not received a letter stating Im cleared...
G

You won't get a letter clearing you, your money vanished, sorry to say. You need to know that this company is illegal and violated many laws talking to your boss. This company is also known as Bass and Associates. They are in an article in the Jacksonville-Times Union today. Here is todays article:
http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/061107/met_176207561.shtml Please file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office of Florida right now. Do it online, and please include them sharing third party information and the illegal threats of arrest. Also, please contact the reporter who wrote the article, his name and number are at the bottom of the article.

If anything happens to your job as a result of the call from these people, you need to contact an attorney and file an immediate claim against them. You should also file with the State Labor Board, naming them in the suit.

Lol.

Yah I think they target military members with this bs. Im dealing with Asset over a bill supposedly owed to SBC from 2002. Funny thing is I never received a billing statement from SBC or any overdue notices. (I was at the residence of the supposed bill for over 1 year). The collection agency then did not post the debt on my credit report until April of 2004. Intersting thing about this aorund that Same Time AOL tried to charge me 195.00 for an internet bill. (I had my phone line killed in May of that year and canceled the renewal after the free trial). Then I had one of the attorney's at the legal office call them and the bill was dismissed.

Correct me if Im wrong but aren't both SBC and Asset in violation of Federal Law? SBC for not notifying the consumer of any bill owed, or past due notice, and Assest for taking two years since the supposed debt was owed?

What the h e l l is a form 112? Tell them you are going to file form xt43p-34gh with the state against them guest. They are ridiculous.

Did you put a formal request to validate the bills in writing? Remember, the burden of proof is on the creditor to validate the debt and prove that you indeed owe it.

I got a phone call about my troop also and they were demanding 1200.00 in 2 hours or they were turning me into the local county. My mother in law called the AG of our home state and they said that under no circumstances is any company to demand money over the phone and in that period of time! We had no idea the name of the company because they gave us 3 different names.. DIV 385 and then DIV 386 then jackson phillips !I have been dealing with 2 of the ladies there! I will be calling the AG on Monday for them. And i went to the local police and they stated that they (Jackson Phillips) needs to file a police report saying that i will not cooperate and then have it sent to the local police station and they will handle it from there! I then got the fax number to fax the police report made by the MP's ( military police) and i googled the number and it came up bass enterprises then I called her back and told her i changed my mind and i wanted the address to sent it there and then i also googled that and found a website blog with info on it that they are a scam company! I hope they get in a lot of trouble for screwing with our soldiers! They dont deserve this!

They are ridiculous. They can not threaten anybody with arrest if they do not come up with the money. That is called EXTORTION. And it is very illegal whether the consumer is a civilian or in the military. I hope you stick it to those a$$holes. I get sick and tired of hearing these horror stories. I am so happy you did not send them a dime. Unfortunately their scare tactics have worked on others who gave in to the false threats of arrest.

The next time they say they're coming to get your husband, tell them that after a tour in Iraq, jail will be a vacation and he's ready, lol. Hey, he can even get phone calls, right? See how fast they hang up, lol...

Yeah he called from Afghanistan and we conference called them and he was pissed then i came across a website that talked about how they are a fake lawfirm company! and i told him that it was a scam and he wants to call them but i want him to wait til i call the attorney general tomorrow and BBB! But the company thinks that i am still falling for it! But i have recorder the conversations with them for evidence! and they said on the recorder that they are law students that have not passed their boards! I thought that was funny! My husband is very upset with this company cuase of the stress they have put on us! We have enough!

I know they have passed laws protecting military families from such things, and from payday loan companies. And I can guarantee you this, they are NOT law students, the only law experience they have are from being brought into a court of law and locked behind bars! Some of the employees, hell one of the owners in fact, ARE CONVICTED FELONS, the owner was court martialed or something like that about 4 years ago and then charged with having a gun, because convicted felons are NOT permitted to have guns. Stick it to these b@st@rds! :twisted:

Also call and email David Bauerline at the local Jacksonville newspaper (you can find the info here) and tell him how good ol' Bass/Jackson Phillips is harassing the family of a deployed military member. He just wrote a story on them for his paper and I'm sure he would love to know this.

Here is the link to the thread Cajun started, scroll down to Anthony Lemmons post where he gives the link to the article.

Steelers is correct, there are federal laws protecting the families of servicemen and women from having to deal with debt while they are deployed. If anyone has a spouse deployed and you are harassed by creditors or collection companies during the deployment, you must send the creditor a copy of the orders, of course, black out information not pertinent to the issue. I speak from experience, having been deployed to numerous locations for platoon size operations. You can see many of these deployments that I was on if you come to my site and click on 'Many of my own pictures'. A link on the side.

I forgot to mention, if a creditor or collection company report your debt(s) to the credit bureaus during the deployment, that is highly illegal, so direct any questions to your local JAG office regarding more in depth legal advice and action. Being a veteran, I am disgusted when servicemen and women are stressed from home while on deployments, it is un called for and needs to be addressed by the authorities. ie: criminal action against creditors and collectors.

This morning I received a call from a women referring to herself as Merideth Lawson at the time she did not give me her company. SHe went on to tell me that she received my "case" and I was in some serious trouble with the government. She said that I had borrowed government money last year and had not paid it back to the pdl company i received it from. She said this was government money and I stole it. Of course now in tears and scared to death as she threatened me to go to jail and that I had 28 minutes to somehow come up with the money as she was going to going across the street to present her client's case and put my name on the list (what list). :? After several phone calls trying to get help paying this stupid thing in 28 minutes I was unlucky (thank God). She even went as far as to say that my husband was going down with me and then she hung up on me when I started asking questions. Thats when I called back and found out the company name. I was told JPA and when I asked what that stood for I was hung up on again. I called back demanding to speak with a supervisor and she as well (Ms. Bea) said I had to come up with the money with in one hour. She was a little more helpful in trying to find out what JPA ment Jackson Phillips and Associates. What do I do and how do I go abut it? How long do I give it before I just go ahead and pay the amount they are asking for? Please Help me find the answers.

Keri they are lying to you and are violating the law by telling you that you can go to jail. You cannot go to jail for not paying a PDL loan. The money you borrowed is definitely not from the government. What state do you live in and what PDL company did you take a loan with? There is a chance that company might not even be licensed in your state and is also probably charging you too much in interest fee. Next time JPA calls back tell them to get lost until they validate the debt, then hang up on them.

It personally makes me vomit to think of a serviceman or woman literally having to dodge the bullets in Iraq and stress over whether Bass and Associates or JPA gets their payment in 10 minutes or whatever ridiculous number they're throwing out there now. These people have no shame and need to be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law.

Jackson Philips is an illegal company, and are believed to be related to Bass and Associates, another company being sued by Florida. Send them no money and file complaints with the AG of Florida.

:( hello my name is shenika,and i am dealing with those ppl now they stressed me out so bad that im am currently taking medication for depression..they told me i had to pay 1010 for two loans that i only got 150.00 for each. I started making payments and we did a sworn agreement, and when i called to ask for something showing what i am oaying for they got very irate and even hung up in my face a couple of time they refused to let me make my last payment. i know i should have requested something in writing before, i started paying.

Shenika, relax, nothing can happen to you. Read my article below to find out why you need not worry.

Guest here is a letter to use.

what is the SOL in TX? please help

http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/SOL-by-State.html
You may check your state's Statute of Limitations on debt here. If the SOL is past, you legally do not have to pay. If you do make a payment towards a past debt, it restarts the clock.

Has anyone ever heard of Weisberg and Meyers? They stated that they can help with jackson phillips. I think it's free of charge also, but im not sure.

I was threatned that I was going to have my file sent to their attorney who would do the paper work and have it sent over to my DA's office and have a form sent faxed to my job to see if I still work there and for them to pick me up at hme or wrk is this legal I was really scared at first but I paid a payment or two which they cannot find and now the calls are coming again just as rudely as ever what do I need to do to cover my self and get them to stop harrassing me?

Miss Tee,
You can call the number that i listed above, they can help yoy. I am using them to get jackson philiphs. Jackson Phillips did me the same way they are doing you, i was so stressed that i had to get depression pills. i have made several payments to them, and i only owed 310.00 more, but they wouldnt let me pay it when i told them i was seeking legal help. do you have prove that you have made payments to them? I have all records showing that i have pd them. They are charging extremely too much.

they are also starting to call my house now..at first they were calling my job and my boss.
