US. National Bank

Tweety - My advise, call them!! A phone call goes a long way...

And if they are violating the fdcpa, then you'll have some serious proof!!

I just googled "US National Bank" and the fourth or fifth item to come up was something about "us national bank vs. 419 nigerian check fraud"

That shouldn't scare you.

But the real US Bank, is a legitimate bank operation...

Call these people back - maybe you could win $1,000,000 - LOL

OK- I called back and spoke to Alex.....He told me " I think you know what this is about" He went on to say that there was NUMEROUS charges against me....US National does NOT want my money...They want to see me processed......He asked me if I was currently on probation and have I ever been arrested. He gave me a case number. Told me that I was to be "picked up" at 1:00 at my place of business......now what?

Tweety,those threats seem awful similar to Bass. I would tell them to tell me their barcard#,their badge#,and who is the proposed District Attorney? Then I would ask them when is the party showing up and are they gonna provide lunch! :mrgreen:

Did he say he was from US National Bank? If so, he's misrepresenting himself!! These people don't have a clue!! I think these debt collector places hang out, outside of prison gates. They offer these released convicts jobs - doing telephone collections!! :-S (could be true. I have nothing against people who've been to jail, etc.) I'm just making a joke...

Well lets think about this rationally..If they do not want your money then why would they even call to tell you that they are coming to pick you up at your place of employment for arresst?? They wouldn't!

Tweety...I called that number....They did not answer US national Bank...They answered with something that I could not clearly make out but it was not US National Bank....

I agree with you Leah- He said US National Bank did NOT want me money...He said that 2 times....Investigator Alex Divine basically in my opinion was reading me my rights......telling me I had the right to an attorney, if you could not afford one, 1 would be given to you......I asked 2 times what the total balance was, he said he didnt know but that didnt matter because they didnt want the money they just wanted me processed.....

They would call me just to say " your going to be picked up" for internet fraud, bad checks.........have I ever been on probation, or arrested........sounded funny myself.....I should of just looked at old threads but the fact that he told the woman origionaly that answered the phone that tell her that she was a "prime suspect" I thought was a bit much......

Yes I agree it was a bit over the top...However, they cant read you your rights over the phone, they have to do that at the time of arrest and while they are hangcuffing you, its called due process of law. Secondly, they are not going to call and tell you you are being investigated. IF you were being investigated, an officer would show up at your house to speak with you first and then place you under arrest...I have never seen law enforcemnt contact their prime suspect beforehand to give them opportunity to leave town or the country....Its some kind of collection agency(probably a sister company of BASS AND ASSOICATES...didnt you just send them a complaint about the way they treated you and all that?) I bet they pushed you over to a sister company so that if you filed another complaint it wouldnt be on them....Maybe someone should call them back and tell them that they are being downloaded and that the FBI is coming to get them at 1...besides how many times have we all been threatened with this? My attorney told me to stop calling them back after I told him about it the first couple of times...

Yes, I did file a complaint against them and got a response mid last week from them...It was from David Jacoby....I was a liar and they NEVER operate that way...he said I made the whole thing up and that I should "rethink" the conversation that took place........I cant file another complaint can I?

the squeeky wheel gets the grease tweety

Tweety,
Go ahead and file to the same agencies you did for Bass,just file it in this company name.

SEems to me that you may have p*ssed them off by filing that complaint so they may try to double harrass you under a different company name....

Well it seems to me that maybe whoever you filed your complaint should investigate a little further into the matter- OF COURSE BASSHOLES arent going to admit to comiting crimes...what company would? Not to mention all the other people who complain on them? I know they do it, you know they do, heck half the people on this site have been threatened with arrest or they have called and impersonated a federal agent. WHO did you file your complaint with? I want to file a complaint too and I have audio to back it up!

An "investigator" read you your rights over the phone? LMAO! I know you are concerned but that is one funny attempt on their part to intimidate you just like they did. Keep on filing your complaints. You are the one that is getting to them! That is the laugh of the day. You have the right to remain silent......

I dont know if filing the complaints are worth it anymore?

That is entierly up to you my dear :) I didnt think filing complaints was worth it either but then I got to thinking that if I did it enough then perhaps someone would listen to me eventually! But even if you dont want to file a complaint, you have all of us here to talk to and we all have the same feelings about these companies as you do..
Also, I am glad to see that they didnt come arrest you at 1 today...(see they were just blowing smoke)

There is no such place as "US National Bank." They only said that to give you a scare! When they say you are going to be processed,ask them if it includes being downloaded as well!

Thanks for everyone's input on this.......

Wow, this does sound like Bassholes (as Leah says). I think this was definitely a scare tactic. I would file another round of complaints against them using this company name. They can read you your rights over the phone. Give me a break!! How are you supposed to know what this is about? Also, did you tell them not to contact you at work?

Tweety,
If you don't have their name or contact info,just send a complaint to the attorney general of Florida with the phone number and paraphrasing what was said by you and them. Their office would have the authority and resources to trace that number.

OK- I didnt think about doing that.....No, I didnt get a chance to tell him not to contact me at my place of employment- he hung up on me....

Next time they call, ask them for a badge number and ask them to hold while you contact your local police dept to have them verify through the appropriate channels that they are legit...GUARANTEE THEY DONT CALL BACK....

I didnt think about that either.....wow, I feel really dumb now...

Dont feel dumb...I just happen to be very creative with things like this :)

I just called it and got a person that just said "front desk".

I have called it several times throughout yesterday and got varying responses. This am when I called I asked what company this was and the man said, Well that depends who you are?????

Why would it depend on who you are? LOL! Wow, it must be secret hush hush business.......

Well you never know, I could be an undercover FBI agent on the brink of bringing down their illegal business....they wouldnt want to incriminate themselves by claiming to be federal agents would they??? LOL

I havent called the number back but I'm wanting to....to see if I get Mr. "investigator" Alex Divine...........:)

Leah, you crack me up :-)

Hi, Tweety. I have been talking to you on another post I had. So, U.S. National Bank had called you but you filed a complaint against Bass and Associates?? Maybe I should do the same but how did you prove U.S. National was Bass and Associates when you filed it?

I couldnt prove anything...I'm sure they are the same company though. I do know they operate under different names...
