Ellis Crosby & Associates

Okay tell these people NOT TO CALL YOU AT WORK, and if they call your boss then tell them you will proscute! Man im so sick of these people!

You do not need to worry about it because their membership has been revoked. They have involved themselves in fierce actions and are trying to harass the people in every possible way.

Do not get afraid of them because they are undergoing legal surveillance. You can file complaints at the FTC and the DAs office for immediate action.

These idoits called me yesterday with case numbers. I never even borrowed any money. How did they get my information? When will they be stopped. I filed a claim with the FTC. I want to go to Florida to pay them a visit.

Hi Jerry,

It's nice to hear from you after a long time. I am sure that you will be able to deal with Ellis Crosby most confidently because of your lawful approach towards any crime. :D

By the way, these people from Ellis have really been creating problems to the community people. They are causing illegal and fierce actions everywhere.

We will be glad to see you back with your valuable posts in the forums for the community welfare. :D

Take care and have a wonderful time

i got the same phone call from these IDIOTS on my voice mail they left their phone number for me and my lawyer to call back,and also they've been calling my
job harassing me should i file legal action against them or what should i do?

Did Ellis Crosby & Associates reopen their collection business. As far as I knew, they had shut down? Do they still have the same address? Do you have the new phone number?

I think they are operating under Anthony Galloway & Associates now.

Cease and desist letter is your Federal right as per the fdcpa law and it is sent to stop all the collection calls coming at your home, work or any other place of contact.

After you have sent this letter to the collection agency, they are required to stop corresponding with you. If they do contact after receiving your letter, it will result in a violation of the federal law and you are in charge of taking legal actions against them. Consult your attorney if it gets violated.

I just got a phone call this morning from Amy Sands of the Attorney General's Office 904-348-2720 and she wants additional information from me after forwarding my affidavit to their office regarding the harassment I received from Ellis Crosby. I have since then began clearing up my financial situation and am almost paid up to date on all of my bills but receiving the overage back that I paid Ellis Crosby would certainly help me out substantially.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had heard from the Attorney General's office and what sort of questions they are asking.

Thanks for any advise.

Chances are they want to seek further legal action against Ted Crosby. By the sounds of it, he has opened up yet another office, by the name of Anthony Galloway & Associates.

I was just curious as to anyone else receiving a phone call from the Attorney General's Office for more information. Obviously, they are still collecting information for the suit? I will be calling them back and will answer any questions they may have because I feel it is my right and obligation to set the record straight.

Thanks for your email.

they called me too :)

I remember Katie got this same call from the attorney general sometime back requesting for the legal information. I guess she will be able to update us on this matter.

WOW! Katie, that was too fast. I was thinking about you only. :D

So, Katie, did they just ask you typical questions about your affidavit, I'm assuming you sent one in also. I have not called them back yet and I just wanted to find out information before I spoke to them. I know what happened to me happened to others and I want a resolution to the stress and excess $$$$ they charged me way over what I owed!!!

Thanks for the quick response.

A little over a month ago, Ted Crosby got on this forum and said he bought a new Rolex watch with the money he was getting from everyone. It was definitely from his office, as the IP address matched it. Has anyone, mentioned this while making their complaint to the Attorney Generals Office?

I know that it can't be proven that it was him, but even after seeing that complaints were being made, his associates still threatened/harassed everyone.

I just find it odd, that he was able to file bankruptcy, after he was getting all this money with the high interest rates he was chargingn people. And top it off, he sold the account again after the debt was paid.

His new business has relocted somewhere in Jacksonville, Flordia and is more than likely being called Anthony Galloway & Associates and possibly Interstate Collections. Their office is a mess right now, I'm sure of it. As they just moved in...and aren't very well prepared to answer any questions (to anyone).

I mentioned it to Summer. She called me one day and i told her about it. This is very immature of him to say this on his part.

Sounds like the company is bankrupt or something like that so why would the Attorney General's Office contact me if there is nothing that can be done if they did go belly up?

Please let me know if anyone has had interactions with the office and Amy Sands I believe is her name. I'm sort of running a little low on trust these days with what happened to me.

A few months back I filed a lawsuit against Ellis Crosby & Associates for illegal collection activities. I was just informed by my attorney today that they have indeed filed for bankruptcy and that we will not be able to pursue the lawsuit any further. He assured me that they are out of business and that I should not be hearing from them again. I am wondering if they are operating under a new business name.

It really disgusts me how EC treated me as well as so many other consumers all over the country and that by them filing bankruptcy they are not liable for any civil damages. That is bull!!

I spoke to Amy Sands of the Attorney General's Office in Florida today about the case against Ellis Crosby & Associates, she states they are going to court December 14, 2005 and that they are practicing under the new name of Anthony Galloway & Associates and if they contact me or anyone else about debts to contact her and let her know because they will try to collect the same as Ellis did....

She said she would let me know the outcome of the hearing. I'll pass on any information that I receive. I told her that this website has been a god sent and has made me feel a little better knowing I'm not alone with my financial situation.

Thanks to all for their good thoughts and to Ms. Sands for her continuing to fight the good fight even if things don't work out at least I know that I tried!

I am 120% sure that the girl who ran the switchboard at Ellis Crosby & Associates is now answering the switchboard at "Interstate Collections". You might want to also bring this up to her, as "Interstate" has been doing the same threatening acts towards consumers.

It is very possible that she found another switchboard job, but she answers the same way, "how may I direct your call", the company practices the same, "we're going to arrest you in 45 minutes" routine.

Mikey, I've searched for the post regarding Ted Crosby's "Rolex" post but it simply doesn't exist. I was curious to see it. If you post the IP address of this post, I will confirm or deny if the IP is in Ellis Crosby's allocated IP address subnet.

Guest

It has already been confirmed that it was Ted Crosby making the posts. The IP address was tracked, and came back to him.

I, however, cannot provide you with the IP address. However it has been verified it came from his place of business.

Interesting how he "tracked" it down since ECA has never had a block of IP addresses registered or allocated by ARIN. So I'm intrigued how exactly it was 'tracked' down. If the IP subnet isn't in the 207.201.2xx.xxx (I won't post the exact ip or subnet) range, it was not anyone from ECA's office. Also, FYI, Ted has a Mercedes, NOT a BMW. The person who posted as Ted Crosby was obviously clueless.

Being a moderator has it's advantages.

It also sounds like you are very familiar with the life of Ted Crosby.

Yes, I am, however I am not defending him or his company. I am merely pointing out that I highly doubt someone was able to trace a post back to his office. I highly doubt the person who posted that had an ip from the ip subnet I posted. Being someone who knows more then the moderators has it's advantages too. ;)

Guest

It's good to know that you are not defending him or his company. Mr. Crosby has done some unethical business practices.

Agreed. Not only does he feel people owe him money, he owes money himself. I just wanted to put some truth to what was posted since there seems to be so much BS.

Does anyone know where this phone number belongs 866-867-7370? I just received a voice mail from Andrew Edwards (area code 904) stating for me to call him. This sounded just like a voice mail from Ellis. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

c8and38nfrnt, I received the same call from a Mr. Andrew Edwards, I called back and left a message but have yet to hear back. What was the outcome of your calls?

Hi,

If you are unable to get any human voice from these numbers, take help of your telephone operators and get this number blocked. As per the fdcpa law, if the company is attempting any collections, they are required to send the details of the debt in writing. Don't let these calls disturb you endlessly. Get them blocked if they are not getting answered.

Roxette

I just got off the phone with an Andre Edwards claiming he is an attorney. The number came up as 904-224-2043 but his call back number is 866-867-7370. He said that I need to pay xx amount today or legal actions will be taken against me. He did have me nervous until I started to read this website.

Hi Tonia, did the company send you anything in writing about this account? They need to itemize the details so that you can verify it. If they are unwilling to send anything, send a DV letter through CMRRR. That way, you will be able to express your concern of paying this debt. Some very good debt validation letters are available in this forum.

Thanks David. I have not received anything in writing from this company. I am going to request Mr. Edwards mailing address next time he calls. Thanks again.

Tonia, I hope this address might be helpful to you in order to contact Ellis Crosby.

Ted Crosby has picked up from that location. He has filed bankruptcy, and is no longer using the name Ellis Crosby & Associates. Their new location has not being disclosed, as Ted Crosby is not allowed to collect.

So has anyone been able to link the calls coming from Mr. Andrew Edwards at the supposed law firm of Taylor Jenks & Associates to Ted Crosby? If Crosby is continuing to do business under a new name, I would like to let the Florida authorities know?

spookszr

They are already aware of the continued calls business from Crosby. They have actually asked for bank statements and account ledgers where they show monies received the consumers. Ted Crosby is still in hot water.

The calls you are receiving should probably start getting documented. If you have an 800#, that be great. Although this may not be Crosby, a complaint made with the BBB and the AG office would benefit. Apparently Tayor James & Associates is its own company.

Many employees went from Taylor James & Associates over to Ted Crosby after getting fired or leaving. After reading through some of the forums, it appears as the owner was already in hot water for other allegations. There is a supposed Sherrifs sub-station that has opened up in the same complex as Taylor James, so maybe their antics will come to a stand still.

I heard today 2 voice messages left at my work while I was on vacation. All it say's is that either myself or attorney (dont even have one) has to call back Andrew Edwards at 866-867-7370 extension 212. No company name, no information what it is about.
Reading the above postings, I have my doubts about this.

guest33, call Andrew Edwards and verify the reason of the call. The company might be seeking collection on some of your past debt. Check your credit report and see if they have entered anything in your file. It is better to pay off the debt and get rid of such calls. If you don't owe any debt, simply dispute with them. Call them and resolve this matter as early as possible.

Has anyone heard what occurred since the court date that was suppose to take place in December? I tried to contact Amy Sands at the beginning of this week (she is with the Florida Attorney General's Office) but I haven't heard anything back.

Just checking to see if anyone else has checked and received a call back?

Any reply would be greatly appreciated!

Hi gardnerjl

In the recent times, there had no direct calls made by Ellis Crosby and they are not doing any collections. So, I guess they must have been completely shut down by the attorney general.

Just imagine, six months back, there had been so many people complaining against this company and now it's all stopped. So, that's good for all of us. Maybe, we have all been able to shut down one more company from doing illegal collections.

If you look above at the other entries, they were attempting to collect on debts just last month and I wanted to see if anyone had heard anything. Amy Sands said she would let me know but as of today and after my trying to contact her earlier this week, there has been no update.

Please advise if anyone has any information on the hearing that was suppose to be in December.

Thanks for a response.

I was wondering if anyone found anything out about the supposed law suit that went to court in December? I have tried to contact Amy Sands of the Attorney General's Office but have received no phone call back from her.

Please let me know if anyone has heard anything. I would realy like to know where I stand with regards to this issue.

Thanks!

I wanted to find out if anyone had an update for the law suit that was filed against Ellis & Crosby Associates. I had sent my affidavit in quite a while ago and was told that in December The Attorney General's Office in Florida (I believe an Amy Sands) was going to to court and advise me of what transpired afterwards. I have made several attempts to contact her but she has not responded.

Please advise if anyone has any news. I appreciate any assistance, and if anyone has a lead on who might know what happened forward that information too.

Thanks!
