Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud

Oh yeah, it was my understanding that Crosby was the one who filed bankruptcy, not David Jacobs. Wow, one would think that you know for sure before saying anything at all steelers1, or at least put allegedly. But hey, maybe you like to put this website and its reputation at risk my making unfounded statements. Ciao.

Public forum and Steelers can say what she wants. Maybe she has seen them and maybe not. Thats for them to woory about isnt it? KYSIDE38

Steelers might think I dress from Goodwill. Opinion stated thats all. Opinions are - - - holes everybody has got one. LOL KYSIDE38

kyside.....if steelers makes that comment without ever having seen you, how much sense does that make?

No sense I guess. LOL What I am trying to stress this is the cyber world. Everybody has got opinions. The collector??? is trying to act like she will get in trouble.... That is just so crazy... KYSIDE38

i just want to say I love you guys and I am so glad I came here befor I sent those people money. I live in California and they have called me 5 times at my job with threats at me and saying they are going to arrest my husband as well....I owe 340.00 but she wanted me to send 735.00. I told her NO. she called me names and said I was going to end up like Martha Stewart did because of my crime.

I wouldnt worry about them. They threaten everything. Contact your Attorney General and file a complaint against them. They are under investigation in several states. Maybe before you know it they will be serving time in the same state as Martha. KYSIDE38

They are calling in California??? Oh, Lord...what PDL are they calling for, if you don't mind my asking? I do hope they call me!!!!!!!

They are calling for Arrowhead Investments. Another guy who can't speak english called me yesterday and left a threated message ON MY WORK PHONE, telling me of my crime. I called the number back and it was an answering machine the number 305-433-8264.

Could someone give me the 1,2,3 steps to file a complaint with my AG online. I went to the website, but I wasn't sure if I make a complaint about a bill collector or what?

ok I figured it out...I think I sent like 3 complaints....LOL

When can I check on my complaint or are they going to call or email me???? Does anybody knows?

Anybody heard of Peter Morris from Bass and Assiociates???? He is very rude!!!!!

peter morris works for united pay sevices, their phone number is 305-433-8264.....they all have indian accents beacuse they are calling form india

He was so rude to me he called me from that number as well as 877-281-2220 ext 329

I was contacted by a Bass Prelitigation collector who stated that I committed three financial crimes against Arrowhead Investments Payday Loan Company because the ACH debit didn't go through several times. They basically accused me of misusing Federal funds, Worthless Check, and accepting money across state lines. The collector told me that I had until 3 p.m. in my time zone to get the money to them or the file would be turned over to Mississippi authorities for prosecution. Is this crazy or what? Have any of you experienced this from them? I didn't know if was a Federal crime to default on a loan or debt!!

They are not going to arrest you. Bass is famous for this lie, they are the ones that are committing crimes. There is several investigations and lawsuits against them. Just do a search on this site and you will find a ton of information. KYSIDE38

For anyone called from Bass and Associates, come to my site to read about these criminals and how they are being investigated.

I read it....good story and information THANKS Anthony!!!!

these people called me too and said they were from pre-litigations and gave me a case number and said to call immediately or have my lawyer to call, he tried to sound as if he was a detective, but could not give, but when i called the number back they said they were bass and associates.

Read the posts in other forums here. These are the reason why they are now being sued by the Florida Attorney General. He is also requesting from the court, that the company's corporate license be pulled and that the owners be banned from collection activities. File your complaint with the Florida Attorney General. He is also requesting that the court orders Bass (and their other corporate entities) pay restitution to persons.

Received my first and hopefully only call from Bass & Associates today..was really enlightenig, all the threats and when I tried to ask what company they were calling on behalf of the at first wouldn't give me the name, instead the second individual I spoke to, Malcolm Smith tried to give me political science class on him enforcing the Constitution that he said was written in 1776..just a few years off there pal, especially as I am a soldier and defend that Constitution!! I filed a complaint with the BBB of Northeast Florida and have filed a complaint with the Attorney General of the state of Kentucky as that is where I currently am stationed, so we shall see what the resolution is. Had a pdl of $250.00 and have paid back over $1,300.00 since October 2006..I believe they have gotten theres!!

You GO, Swartz--and once you mentioned you were active-duty military, then that bozo should have ended the call right there, as there are rules about collecting from men and women in uniform.

Bass and associates and jackson phillips just got slammed with a 1.3 million lawsuit it was in the local paper the florida times union you should check it out

Great job guys and girls.

Hey Anthony been a while.My next target is Legal Mediation Practices in Jacksonville,Fl.They play just like Bass.

look , i hate to tell u guys but u are wasting your time here. iam a x collector in jax fl..i know the owners of these agencys very well, we all worked together thru the years. they shut down temporaily and open up later, they cant be stopped. its so funny because the owners of allen lewis & assoc post all the time here trying to divert attention from themselves, its halarious. i think he is x collector and is shady as hell, as the rest of them or worst. the best way to combat these places is to stop getting payday loans and defaulting on them. fix your credit!

Eric you are hilarious in your visions.The law is on our side and we are grouping together with law enforcement & reporters to expose these companies. I do agree with paying you obligations,but these companies must follow the law or pay the price. Collecting under fdcpa is really not that hard to follow.

Apparently Eric hasn't read the complaint filed by the FL AG.

debt collectors sued for $1.3 million

Everyone should call bass and congratulate them on making the news...again, except this time, it costs them a lot of money to advertise.

I too became a victim of these jerks yesterday. Received a call from Sandy Miller stating the same kind of stuff, that most everyone else on here has heard from them. It was my wifes pdl but she said since we were married I too was responsible. She went on and on about what was going to happen if it was not paid immediately. When I asked for a confirmation of debt letter, she said you already have one, by way of your contract.

I asked to speak with a Supervisor, and was told that none of the Lawyers were available. That they were all either in deposition or Court. What a crock! Once I got off the phone, I contacted an Attorney that I found that deals with this stuff. He said that the only people violating any Federal Laws was Bass Prelitigation. That they could do nothing like they said that they could. I then googled Bass, and found that the Florida AG had just recently filed a Civil Action against them, after a lengthly investigation of the organization. I called the AG's Office and was directed to a website where I could file a complaint against them.

I have done so, and imagine their surprise this morning when they called and said that I had broken the promise to pay this morning. I was told that we would be arrested within the hour. I told the gal that I doubted that, and asked why, after having a Civil Action Filed against them for these practices where they still conducting business the same way?
She flat out said that no action had been filed against them, and that anything that I might find on the Internet about them was all lies. I then asked her about the Florida AG site, where it talks about the suit. She told me that it was a bogus site set up by unhappy deadbeats. I told her that she could go F**k herself and to have a nice day.

A cease and desist letter is on its way to them this morning.

Unbelievable--so now they are saying that the Florida AG's website is run by deadbeats??? I bet the AG would love to know that! And let me tell you, they aren't lawyers. If they're lawyers, then I'm the Queen of England. Do not deal with them over the phone anymore!

I am truly dumbfounded. They are still practicing their illegal tactics. The courts need to order that their phones be monitored by the authorities until the suit goes through.

I have seen some postings on here about the address for Bass being a UPS Store. UPS bought out all the Mail Boxes Etc., a few years back to compete with FedEx Kinkos. I have seen a number of small business operations use a Suite number, as does Bass versus a Box Number. That most likely is the case here.

If anyone on this thread lives in JAX, they need to run by that place and let them know how they are support a real crook.

God only knows where their real place of business is. I suspect it's at the bottom of some dumpter somewhere!!

thank you for the talking about Bass & Associates they called me in May and when I called back they never returned my call and now a Julie called me Wednesday threatening me and all that crap and I asked for soem info about my acoount she told me no and that I had to pay 1,200.00 for a 200.00 loan by Friday at 4.00pm and that if I did not then they would proceed with legal actions. On friday she called back and told me that they would file charges on me and I would go to jail tonight and I told her about the complaints I have and she hung up on me I called her back and told her I wanted a payment arrangement and the address and validation papers she told me she did not have time to talk to me and I told her see you in court. Thank you all for the talks you all have had I read all I think.

These crooks are so fukken bold.

I had a call, at work, from a guy named R. Bell. He scared the hell out of me, tell me that my bank was going to bring me up on charges as head of an internet fraud. I am calling a lawyer.

Guest, please take a breath and relax. This company has a 1.3 million dollar lawsuit against them by the Florida Attorney General's Office. You don't need a lawyer, unless you seek personal damages. Simply go to the Florida AG site, and file an online complaint.

Next time you speak to anyone from Bass, tell them that you know about them having a pending lawsuit. Read it here: http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/070307/met_181746454.shtml

The Florida AG I believe is also seeking an injunction against Bass in the meantime. Don't deal with Bass at all. They'll soon be out of business when the AG wins his suit. The lawsuit also seeks to revoke their license and ban the owners from working as collectors.

I had a phone call from Bass and Associates on July 31st threatening to have me arrested if I didn't pay Arrowhead Inv. I did pay the money. I just got off the phone with the FL AG's office and they filed the complaint saying that B&A had violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They referred me also to the Federal trade commission. I hope I can get my $763.90 back.

We are getting tortured by Hailey Nickelberry from Bass or prelitagation. They're going to arrest my husband b/c he's a civilian employee of the military adn violates his contract. Debt does not violate his contract. we do owe a PDL of $350. I got so scared I paid them $2000 in 2 weeks and had my mortgage bounce because of it. Until I came here. I do owe the remaining $350, but I have no intention of paying it in the next 24 hours. They said they called "your husband at work to determine his whereabouts for pick up". Good luck, it's a Naval Base and you'll never got on babe, not even a constable. Thank you for this information. Although her calls are deceitful and harrassing, I know there's no chance I can go to jail for $300. They also threatened to tell me that the bank had filed a suit b/c of fraud. My bank manager is my friend, and has never been contacted about the incident.

Do not pay them anymore. Your money, I am sorry to say, has vanished. They do not apply it to your debt. File a complaint right now.

Andi,
If you have paid them $2000 for a $300 pdl, tell me how you still owe money on the PDL??? Run this by me again?????
Also, my husband was also a DOD employee before he retired--for the Navy, btw--and I can tell you that if your husband is also DOD, there is no way he violated his contract, because he never signed one to begin with. Once again, Bass is blowing smoke you know where.
And I would love to be a fly on the wall if Bass EVER tried to get on base!!!! Can't you just picture it: (Bass employee driving up to the main gate. Security guard: "State your business." Basshole: "I'm here to illegally extort money and arrest a DOD employee through threats and intimidation". Security: "One sec while we call the Shore Patrol to haul your skanky butt away!!!"

Bass employee: "Hello, I'm from a company in Florida, being sued by the top cop of that state for breaking every federal law enacted to protect consumers."

Bass employee, cont: "And my boss, who is a dirtbag who was kicked out of the Navy, btw, is in prison right now!!"

we had SEVERAL payday loans, which I don't dispute having, things were awful. I just got a call from Haley Nickelberry that says "the client has asked us to refund your $$$ you've already paid b/c you haven't finsihed out paying the $300 that we owe" so basically, you'll refund me the $2000 that we've paid b/c of this little balance? She hung up on me. So I called my DH and he freaked out on her, so I don't really know what happened b/c he was so pissed. We did the right thing and paid what we could when we had it, stop busting my chops over it!

I will still file a complaint with the AG of FL just b/c I can. I was under the impression they did pay the loans, b/c we've never gotten calls from the original creditors EVER since paying on them and berfore.

I am a former employee of bass prelitigation and jackson phillips .they are the same people .by law they can not do any thing to you for tose payday loans its a shame how they teach us to lie by breaking federal laws so if there is a atty on here please give me some correspondense .i have been helping the ag gather up evidence already, to bring those monsters down. If your building a case against and need some help i'm your man just give me a holla , i'm the key to your case. I was mark watson, dean mccoy,william witherford, and many more.i never did collections before so i actually thought that i was doing my job but i was breaking the law because thats what they led me to believe was the right thing.
