I need some help with Bass & Assoc. I received a call from 8772812220 - they said they are proceeding with fraud and to have my attorney call them - I asked for the creditor information -they told me to shut up and listen- this was regarding Arrowhead investments (USNatl) and I cannot find a phone number for them - Istopped paying 2 weeks ago and i tried to settle this with them but no number or website to be found


Next time when these people from Bass and Associate call you with this attitude, tell them that you are reporting them to your state AG and to the FTC and will be recording their phone calls for legal actions. They are violating the FDCPA by making abusive remarks.

Make sure that you know the laws in your state before recording their calls. In some states, you will have to notify the other party before recording their call. Otherwise, it can be done secretly.

Arrowhead Investment phone number is 1-866-355-7308. Fax# 1-866-379-7667. Good Luck!

I also received a call from them (BASS & ASSOC) 877-281-2220. They gave me the same rude and arrogant treatment. I was told that I commited fraud as well and things would get really "ugly for me" because they know where i work...??! That i would be embarrasssed on my job, then suggested i "not go to work for a few days...!!!?? They threatened me in more various ways; even asked me if I wanted my kids to see me GO TO JAIL!! The agents "name" was Regina. I asked how i could contact the company directly to further resolve the matter/ make payments and they would not give me the contact info but luckily a co worker had dealt with the company before and gave me the info.

I included my accounts with my bankruptcy in August and it was discharged in Novemebr. They called me as well, the day after thanksgiving and tried to threaten me again. I kept telling them they were not supposed to be calling me because it was included in my Bankruptcy, but they were not trying to hear that. I would advise you to give your bankruptcy attorney a call and let them know they are still bothering you. Also file a complaint with the States Attorney Generals office. The are violating several laws by contacting us.

They are so full of SH**! They are debt collection dirt bag attorneys. District attorneys prosecute.Sue then under FDCPA52. You people that are being called after bankrupting on a debt,get yourself a lawyer and nail them. Your violation is more severe than fdcpa. A violation of the bankruptcy stay by a creditor is very hefty in fines and sanctions. Judges take a very dim view on creditors or collectors trying to collect on illegal debts(illegal because they were discharged in court). All I can say in sue the heck out of them!!! :twisted: :twisted:

What they are doing is called extortion. debt collectors who have used this tactic have been sentenced to prison after being found guilty of extortion. They are comitting felonies. Not that they are new to the felony game, I hear alot of the folks have are convicted felons. The proof being that a few of their employees once frequented this site a fessed up they are convicted felons and couldn't find another job other than making illegal threats to consumers.

I would send this letter certified, return receipt requested, so you have proof that they got it--and if there's anyway you can get a fax number out of them, I'd also fax it over and keep the confirmation.
And let what they say go in one ear and out the other. This is classic Bass and Associates--and no, you will NOT be arrested for defaulting on a PDL. They are blowing smoke up your u-know-what!!

Much of what I read here is very, very close to terroristic threatening. If they call, record them. IF they write it, save the letter. Call you AG office or go on line and get a complaint form. Fill it out and attach any exhibits you have. IF you don't have them, don't let that stop you. File a complaint. You do not need an attorney to do this, in fact if you do have an attorney they won't talk to you. Nail them.

This phony, illegally run company has a very interesting history. It was once run by a man who has had many judgements against him, which he still has not paid. The company then had a name change, which is now Bass and Associates. Come here for all Info:

These peole just called me at work and refused to give me any details of the supposed debt. They refused to give me an amount or a way to contact their so called client for details. I too had a bankruptcy and they say that they are protected from being included in a bankruptcy. What is the deal?

Send these ass clowns this letter of validation/cease and desist letter:

Quote:

(Your address

Collection company name
Company address

(Date)

Re: Acct# 00000000

To whom it may concern:


This letter is being sent to you in response to a notice sent to me on March 8th, 2050. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 (b) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

This is NOT a request for "verification" or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.

Please provide me with the following:

1. What the money you say I owe is for
2. Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe
3. Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe
4. Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable
5. Identify the original creditor
6. Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account
7. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state
8. Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent

At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit Bureaus (Equifax, Experion or TransUnion) this action might constitute fraud under both federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following:

1. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act-reporting inaccurate information
2. Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act-continuing collection activity on a debt which has not been validated

Also during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing of any information to credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is.

REQUEST FOR CEASE AND DESIST OF CONTACT BY YOUR OFFICE: I would also like to request, in writing, no further contact, either in writing or telephone be made by your office to my home or to my place of employment, unless it is to provide validation or release of liability of the debt. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit.

It would be advisable that you assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. This is an attempt to correct your records; any information obtained shall be used for that purpose.

Thank you,

Signature
Printed name
