AS and Associates

no it is a classic scare tactic by a complete bottomfeeder.btw was this for a pdl?i ask this because this place collects on illegal pdl's,and if it was then not only was the loan illegal as pdl's are prohibited in MD,but you did not write a check.file a police report for the call as they broke the law,and your PD will ease your mind when they tell you it's an illegal threat.next file AG,AND FTC complaints against as and associates.then ignore them,and don't engage them as they want someone to threaten,and argue with.bottomline they are a bottomfeeding slime that needs to illegaly threaten because they have nothing else.

yes it was a pdl, when I notify the police what should I tell them? And what should I tell Mr. Moore when he returns my phone call? Also how do I go about filing ag and ftc complaints?

you tell the police that a scam is harrassing you with threats of arrest.give them the details if they ask.then tell the idiot"mr moore"you are now aware that he is breaking the law,and you will not talk to him further without something in writing.to file an ftc complaint go to www.ftc.gov you can file online.as for the ag complaint some let you file online,but some don't check your ag's website to finf the protocol for your state.just know this "mr moore"is the real criminal here,and should be treated as such.

I filed a complaint with both the ag and the ftc, thank you for the advice. Would you suggest that I call my local police department and let them know what is going on. I told Mr. Moore what I planned on doing, and he insisted that it was not a scam and then if the payment was not made by the deadline or I had not tried to resolve this voluntarily that further action would be take. Also while on the ag website one of the reasons for filing the complaint was, "have not received written notice from debt collector trying to recover the debt" is this something that should always be done, because the only contact I've had with AS and Associates was on wednesday, 2 days before the deadline.

let me address this one point at a time.

1)do not talk to this loser further.he will lie to his own mother to make a buck,and he is a scam.
2)yes it is part of the FDCPA that in 5 days after initial contact a letter of collection must be sent.the fact that you have received nothing is proof of this not being legit.
3)yes give this mr moore as the name of the person,but just state you were threatened with arrest over a pdl.they should set you straight on the illegality of mr moore's threats.

i hope that answered your queries.keep me posted please.
