Allen Lewis and Associates

You are doing the right thing. Don't pay a dime before they have validated your account and shown you the correct details. I am surprised on how they have calculated a debt of $95 to $1145. Check the agreement that you signed with the original creditor. You will know the fees when the account is in default.

this is what bass aka ellis crosby is using this week.. dont pay them a dime.. sent a debt validation letter via certified mail with return recpipit

misguided, he also suggested you commited a criminal act and were in possesion of "stolen property". If you talk to them again, I would record the calls (if legal in your state, if not, take very good notes) and take legal action.

I am so tired of witnessing these assclowns threatening people still. When are the authorities going to act on this crap? Enough is enough.

I agree Anthony Lemmons. More people need to complain to agencies such as state attorneys general, because they generally go after firms on which the most complaints were recieved.

One would think that, but the Florida Attorney General's office have recieved countless, as well as BBB of Jacksonville, and I have seen nothing slowing Bass and Associates down.

misguided,

I was contacted by them in December of last year and you are doing the right thing. They are an affiliate or DBA of Bass & Associates. Keep those complaints coming in is all I can on this matter. I'm glad to hear they are under investigation for their illegal tactics. Enough is enough with this type of false threats. :evil:

they are definetly in violation of fdcpa.. I was contacted a year ago and told the same thing about possession of stolen property. They did not properly identify themselves either. I told them the instrument was stolen and i had insurance for it but they did not care. I had actually forgotten about it until they had called so i expln'd the situation. They got extremely rude!!I also told them no calls to my poe because I would be in trouble and could be fired, but they continued to do so. I was out on leave so they couldn't get to me, i returned back and calls started up again. I work at a collection agency and they are definetly in violation. I know the laws.. i have filed a complaint and will be sueing. as per the laws not only will the debt be wiped out but they will have to pay $1000.00 to $1500.00 for harassment charges.
