Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud
One day I get a call from a woman telling me to reach her at two 904 numbers. She then tells me she is from prelitigations/interstate wire compliance. Then the next day she calls and leaves the 866-900-7694 number to call her back on. Then today they are Bass & Associates with the same number. They proceeded to tell me i committed fraud and the papers are in the process of downloading and I will be picked up on site. She asked me if I had ever been picked up on site before. Not to mention I heard a few chuckles in the background. She told me they were going to be faxing papers over to my employers. The best part is she even gave me a case number.

[color=Violet][/color]I just want to take a minute of my time to say this...... that if any of you are having issues with Bass and Associates its probably not the real thing. I am an employee of Bass and Associates and we only have one location that is in Tucson, Az. I can honestly tell you that we are not to ever use such threats at a customer ever. So whom ever has been contacting you I would be very careful on what information you are releasing to them.

I think this other Bass and Associates company would do well to contact its attorneys and tell Bass/Jackson Phillips to cease immediately using their name. It can't be a good thing for them or their bottom line the more they borrow the name, right?

In response to my previous message.....I'm in the collections department for Bass and Associates. We have had meetings on how to handle the calls that eventually will end up at our office. Our attorney's are trying to get the Attorney General of FL involved now. From what I hear is that the address that they give customers is for an empty building. Its funny when you call their #s they all seem like they are disconnected.
Actually I thought the address was to a UPS Store in Jacksonvill

There is a legitimate company located in Arizona that when people are scammed by this Jacksonville, FL outfit, they assume the location of the real Bass and Associates located in AZ are the one in the same as Jacksonville. They are not, they are not affiliated with the crooks in Jacksonville.

Yes, the Jacksonville Bass and Associates are addressed to a UPS store on Arlington Expressway. I have contacted the real Bass in the other states, and they are very aware of their name being 'stolen', by a collection company who are behind on their own payments for the UPS mailbox.

This is ashame that it almost a year later and Bass & Associates a.k.a Jackson, Phillips and Associates are still at their same law breaking tactics. I have also been a victim of theirs and I need justice to be served. I have reported them to the BBB, Florida Attorney General and the FTC. I have even emailed my story to a reporter of the Florida Times-Union. What else can I do to get justice? I know that they have violated the fdcpa so who do I go to if I want to sue? :evil:

Since there are so many people who have been scammed, I am wondering if it would almost be worthwile to even think about a class action suit against them. The lawyers on the boards would have more insight into this, but I think it's worth talking about.

If enough people got together, there are law firms that would more than likely take the case if there is enough evidence to back up the claims. I once had a website of attorneys who did this. Unfortunately my computer crashed and I lost all the good sites I had bookmarked. I also find it a shame that a legitimate company is also a victim of the shady "Bass and Assoc".

Bass & Associates
Hello All,
I need some advice. Bass & Associates called me on Friday with threats that I will have to pay towards a PDL I took out online. I understood it was my problem because I did not pay it on time and now I'm getting a call from them threatening to arrest me or report it to my employer. My brother offered to help me and he gave them his credit card for the payment. I was scared and worried about the situation. It even got worse when he called me saying that this was a fraudulent company and now his money is gone. What do I do? How do I get my money back? Someone help me. I tried calling back this Karen Walker for information on the company and the company they are affiliated with and she hung up on me. She says the matter was taken care of and I should be getting an letter in the mail regarding that the case has been closed. Desperately awaiting your advice.
If your brother wants his money back,he can file a claim with hi
If your brother wants his money back,he can file a claim with his credit card company.

I just went through that on May 11th with Dean McCoy of that company. He was willing to take a payment by credit card but my mom wouldn't give them the cvv code off the back. So she ended up paying the money for me by Money Gram. I still have not received my letter to prove that the debt has been paid.
I even wonder if you couldn't file police reports against them i
I even wonder if you couldn't file police reports against them in your communities. If not, I would call the County DA's office and ask for guidance there. They must have some sort of a fraud division that could help.
Good luck...these clowns are not going to send you a letter, bec
Good luck...these clowns are not going to send you a letter, because the money, sorry to say, does not go towards a debt. They stole your money, so file a fraud report with your local authorities, so that it is at least on record.
bass and fraud associates
Bass and "fraud" as i call them,also have another number.when they call my phone is shows up as ALL 0'S..but when they leave voice mails the number left is:877-281--2220.. and ms maria sanchez that they say is the head person leaves a number as904-422-5071..they are demanding 1600.00 dollars for a 150.00 loan..they make threats and say mean horrible things like threatening to have my fiance DISCHARGED AFTER 11 YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE!!!! CAN THEY DO THINGS LIKE THAT?
They are going to be saying a whole lot of things to get you to
They are going to be saying a whole lot of things to get you to pay, but trust me, you can not be arrested for defaulting on a PDL. This is not a criminal offense. I wouldn't put it past these sleazeballs to try and call your fiance's commanding officer--so I would definately try and give them a heads up on it. Explain that this group steals money and is involved in loansharking--and maybe CID could get involved.

I am warning my readers of an online payday loan company and their so-called collection agency. The name of the collection company, which is based in Jacksonville, Florida, is BASS AND ASSOCIATES. This is not to be confused with the legitimate Bass and Associates. The company I am speaking of stole the name of two real companies located in Arizona, Iowa and Nebraska. You can not find the company I am writing about, through the Internet. Allow me to explain why the fake company are crooks. A friend of mine was short of cash a few months ago, so she applied for an online loan with a company calling themselves; ARROWHEAD INVESTMENTS, another company which can not be located on the web. They deposited the amount into her checking account. Over a short period of time, the loan was repaid, using a method allowing for the loan company to withdraw the amount owed. However, and this is where it gets crooked, the loan company continued to withdraw money, without authorization. Pretty soon, the only option, which the bank informed her of, was to close the account all together, to cease anymore stealing of her money. She thought that it was over at last. It wasn't quite over, since she received a call recently, at her work from Kelly, an employee of BASS AND ASSOCIATES, the fake company. This Kelly, who lacks a last name, went on to state that they were filing motions in a court of law, and that she better get an attorney, and that she will be arrested due to committing bank fraud, check fraud and an array of other white collar crimes, unless of course, she wire money within the hour to their account. I received a frantic, tearful call from my friend, relaying what was told to her. She left work early, in tears and in complete anguish. I personally called this company back to investigate their claims and to have them restate the ramifications which they stated to her. The 'boss', DAVID JACOBS, refused to repeat their threats to me. I then asked for their fax number so that I can send them a letter stating to never contact my friend again, unless it is through a mediation organization. This Mr. Jacobs, refused to share their contact information. During the conversation, he referred to me as a moron. Very professional? No way. So, today, I contacted the Florida Attorney Generals Office and shared with them the actions of BASS AND ASSOCIATES. I was informed by the A.G. office, that this particular company is already under investigation. If anyone is interested in calling this company, perhaps to just ask how the weather is in Jacksonville, the number is as follows: 1-877-281-2220. Also, ask for Mr. Jacobs or Kelly.I ask all readers to call at least once, and tell them how you read all about them on my site. If you have dealt with this company also, let me know. I am not a friend of organizations who intimidate or harass hard working people. If you have information to add to this story, let me know, even your own dealings with certain collection agencies. Your thoughts? P.S. DAVID JACOBS, you are a loser who will one day get what is legally coming to you, and I will see that it happens. It won't matter how many times you change the name of your company, or that you know anyone from Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. I told Mr. Jacobs to Google my name, and so far, he has had my name Googled four times from New Jersey. I am recording the Internet Address, which is: 70.91.149. I imagine that these crooks use a router to throw people off of their trail. Trust me, the Banking and commerce regulators and Attorney Generals from two states are involved with this case. You crook. Information on this 'company': Bass and Associates (name stolen from a real company in Arizona, Iowa and Nebraska, not legitimate name) Names given during calls: David Jacobs,Kelly, no last name given, and Paul Rodriguez (may also be alias names) Known phone number: 1-877-281-2220 (Phone number may also change, for concealing and relocating purposes, well used practice of crooked companies) David Jacobs mobile phone: 1-904-982-0091 (This number is on his answering machine voice mail) Physical address of crooks, given to me by Florida Attorney Generals Office: 314 West 44th Jacksonville, Florida 32208 (This address is the one on file in the state of Florida, subject to change, I'm sure.)

Company Now Using the Name "Thompson and Thompson"
I took out a payday loan with Arrowhead Investments a few months ago and had been making my payments in a timely manner. I took out the loan because I am HIV+ and medical issues caused me to need money. I did my best to try and research the best option and though I had found a reputable company.
I missed a payment five days ago because a fraudulent charge came in on my checking account and my bank said I had to either close the account or sign a waiver saying I would not pursue reimbursement for any future fraudulent charges.
I have been receiving calls (via the receptionist) at my place of employment from "Susan" of "Thompson and Thompson", 1-877-281-2220, ext. 312
I immediately googled the number and found the Anthony Lemons website with page upon page of stories of people being defrauded by this company.
I also found a REAL law firm called Thompson & Thompson. I called them and discussed the situation because I wanted to let them know that it appeared a shady company was appropriating their name to commit fraud. (Sadly the person I spoke with at Thompson & Thompson did not seem terribly concerned.)
At this point my concern is that they will continue calling my place of employment in an attempt to harass me, and I wonder if sending a cease & desist is worth the bother since it appears it will just go to a UPS store?
I can be reached at email address removed as per forum rules - Mike

JayBreeBrad: Yes, the Cease and Desist letter does work. I have mailed them out to these thieves on behalf of many people, and they do stop calling. You must mail it by certified mail, and you may state at the bottom of the letter; "This letter has been placed on file with three enforcement agencies"
Concerned!
You people are so blind. They are pulling illeagle acts.
They tell people that they can go to jail, and that there federal agents, which is a bunch of bull!!!

Bass & Associates
I was contacted today by these people and was told I had two hour to pay or I was going to jail. I called Midland mkg who I have the loan with and they told me they could nto accept my payment, and that Bass Assoc was charging me way over the amount, I ask why they couldnt accept my payment and they told me once it goes to collection they cant do anything, they did let me know they have had complaints. They have threatened me and keep calling back....they are now calling my husbands cell phone numbers

ELLIS CROSBY, BASS ENTERPRISES/ASSOC/PRELITIGATION LLC
Once again, I would like to assist the comsumers who are having to currently deal with an agency that is first: allegedly violating consumer's rights. Secondly, because of their alleged collection tactics, are giving other local, repituable agencies a bad name.
It is true that the names which will be mentioned were all current employees of Allen, Lewis & Associates. Their employment ended mostly in 2004. A few ended shortly in 2005.
Because Allen, Lewis & Associates constantly monitors the phone lines, as well as hearing several conversations during break and lunch periods, these particular employees felt they could make alot more money collecting on their own, out from underneath the management of Allen, Lewis & Associates.
At the time of the seperation from Allen, Lewis & Assoc., Ted Crosby formed Crosby, Ellis & Associates. Because of the alleged collection tactics used, several legal problems surfaced against the Collection Agency. Once the Attorney General of the State of Florida got involved, Ted Crosby decided change the Company name. The new name became Bass Prelitigation Services, LLC. He also decided to remove his name from the Corporate Papers. It has been stated by current employees from BPS LLC, that the Company was signed over to a Frank and Evelyn Jackson. In return, Frank & Evelyn agreed to pay Ted Crosby between $5000-$10000 monthly. Several months later, it was alleged that they refused any further payments to Ted Crosby.
It is my belief, the nanes Bass Enterprises as well as Bass & Associates are fictious names used to mislead and misdirect the State and Federal Agencies repsonsible for protecting Consumer's rights.
continuation of 6/24/07 2:24 pm entry
The name commonly refered to as David Jacobs, is an alias. His real name is David Justice. It is strongly speculated that he was brought in to be the next name the Company will switch too as well as using his name for obtaining Collection Liscenses in required States since he has no Felony convictions.
As far as the payday loan industry, NO-ONE will ever go to jail over not paying a civil debt. Very honestly, no matter what a Collection Agency says can or will happen, after so many attempts to collect the payday loan debt, the account simply gets closed and sent back to the original Lender.
Finally, several States require liscensing in order to collect in their State. If the agency does not have the proper liscenses and bonds, the Attorney General's Office should be able to shut that Agency from collecting any further accounts until proper liscensing has been obtained. Because of the shady character of most of these "BAD-APPLE" Agencies have criminal records, they should not be granted liscensing.
I hope i've been of some help. Best wishes.
