Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud

I can only assume that the "pay your bills" guest doesn't have kids, a spouse, a house, pets, a car, a job...or a life.

Anyone with any of the above, including a life, is going to run into financial difficulty at some point in their lives.

Go sell "crazy" somewhere else....we're all full up here. ;-)

It's obvious that "Pay your bills" doesn't have a life b/c he/she doesn't have anything better to do than come on here and criticize people :evil:

"Go sell crazy someplace else, were all stocked up here", Jack in As Good As it Gets

LOL - I wondered if someone would catch that. :-)

I can only imagine that 'Pay Your Bills' actually is an employee of a criminal collection agency. They come here to harrass us, as well as on the phone. The cease and desist letters don't apply to them coming here to act like donkey holes. I bet he/she is in deep debt, and comes here to pretend that their lives are above everyone elses. Get lost you cow dung fly.

I just found this message board and you guys are full of alot of info. I keep getting calls from a Trish Alexander from this company, the worst part is the number she is calling is for my bother who passed away 2 weeks ago. We have worked hard at getting his debt organized, as this was not an expected passing. These people are so unprofessional in the messages they leave. We gave the number to his attorneya nd they wont even talk to him about it. They stated they was going ot arrest him...these folks need help in a serious way! Thanks for all ur info posted here. I am looking for the join-up link, dont want to get classified as the "pay your bills" person... :-) Good to everyone!

Chrobacik: Welcome and become empowered.

Chrobacik,

I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. I know this is the last thing you need when going through the grief process. Bass & Associates is the pond scum of the collection industry. They try to threaten people with illegal tactics to pay their bills. They want people to be scared so they pay their commission checks. Don't send them a dime! Obviously, they can't listen or they wouldn't have threatened arrest in this situation. I would have the lawyer handle it.

Chrobacik: Come look at my site for all the info. on these illegal vultures.

Thank you for everyones kindness. I have had the attorney contact them and they wont talk to him...funny huh!! I am sure once the FTC and the FCC get involved for violations of FCC rules of conduct they will have a wonderful time paying those fines. Look forward to sharing info with u guys

Have your attorney obtain a court order to interview them. If they do not honor the court order, they will be held in contempt, and perhaps actually see some jail time and hefty fines.

I got the call from some Sandy Miller or something like tat, i was taking a dump she threathing me and stuff, she like yeah u owe money pay by tonight or u going jail tommorow morning at 10 30 am, she wanted 200 dollars, all i had was 150 she didnt want, so i borrowed from my dad, 50 and 13 dollars from my mom to pay moneygram, so i spent around $213 today and where my mom work is an hour away so i wasted alot of gas, i dont mind paying my debt just that i just a had a baby, i'm paying health insurance which i must have being a family man, paying dr's visit for my son and wife, i mean i pay bills but sometime i need time

rholnessjr: Don't spend another dime to Bass and Associates....they are crooks. Take care of your family, and don't fall for the threats from these criminals. They are acting illegally.

bass and associates did not call me, they called my mother(looking for me) and left an extremely rude message in her answering machine. when i first heard it I freaked out, but then it struck me as odd that they didn't say what kind of company they were. When i looked them up, I found this and a few other sites that lead me to the truth. thanks

PS this guy that keeps praising bass and associates is most definately an employee

No one who is genuine would praise Ass....I mean, Bass and Associates, unless they belong to the criminal network itself. If you are an employee of this illegally run company, get lost and find a real job. You loser.

'got the call': Please save the recording if you can. Make a copy of it. Send a copy with a complaint to the Florida Attorney General....this could help with the investigation. Also, if you have the means, put it online so we can all hear the recording.

Did that person say taking a "dump"? Did I read that right?

these douche bags are crooks they said they were with payday ok, i sent them the money but paydaok called me and saying they dont even know who those people are, whos lying?

there are good liars they had me, they said there are with payday ok, well payday ok called me and asking me money which i sent yesterday, mmmm, and i told them what happen yesterday but payday ok never heard of them, who's lying?

They are both liars, and know full well of each others existance. If you have any record of making a payment, send copies and a complaint to the Attorney General of Florida, and tell these guys at Bass and Associates to kiss your ass.

He was taking a dump, reading a magazine, his legs went numb due to sitting too long and fell when trying to get to the phone...lol...I made that part up.

Welcome Chrobacik- :)

I have also been contacted by these idiots. I had my attorney call back and spoke with David Jacobs and he admitted that they were not litigators but collectors and that I had been mailed documention of this debt, He gave my attorney this fax # 904-598-0207, which isnt a fax number at all. I owe this money but I am leary of making the payment.................

Nice that they would give a fax number but wait- its not legit.....

jthamblin: you legally do not have to pay if they have not officially validated the debt. If they do not send you a certifies validation, tell them to fuuk off until they do. By the way, make sure you pay only what YOUR state allows...do not pay extortion fees and interest.

I thought you had to pay even though they dont validate the debt?

If it goes to a collection agency, they MUST validate the debt, otherwise, anyone can call you and tell you that you owe money. Even if you don't. That is one right that the Feds have given to us in the laws.

well hells bells :)

I just got a call from these idiots today. I spoke with a real ****named Karen Walker and she proceeded to tell me that I was under investigation for bank fraud!!!!! She said I was going to loose my job and be "picked up" if I didn't send them the entire amount today. She said there must be pawn shops in the area or borrow the money from a friend. I called my atty. and he said don't send them a dime! I'm glad I found this site!

Good for you. Don't even entertain their phone calls.

Yes, I remember the bank fraud line along with a few others. These guys just don't stop :twisted: Keep those complaints rolling into the Florida AG's office. Maybe they didn't pay their phone bill either and that's why their fax doesn't work? LOL!

These guys most likely are working in a cramp apartment, or motel room. If they had a real office, they would not need a PO box. Perhaps they work in the back of a UHAUL truck.

Interesting yet very useful thread. I learn something new everytime I come here.

We try...lol

I just got a letter and call from Bass & Associates. I must say they were very convincing at first until I decided to come online before I went to Money Gram. I'm glad I saw this site. I went through and called the Pay Day Loan company's that I'd gotten my loans through and not one of them had heard of Bass & Associates. I was practically shaking when I first got off the phone with them, now I know they're not legit. Thanks for all the posts on this. Should I contact anybody to report them?

The lady that I spoke with was Patty Moore. Glad I came on here!

Please report Bass and Associates to the Florida Attorney General's office, there is an open investigation already underway. The more complaints, the better. Also, be sure to spread the word to all of your family and friends about these crooks.

they called my job harassing me threatening to talk to my supervisor. like they wanted to get me fired. how do I block my work number from them. I don't trust them to hand over money to them.

LadyKat: Send them this letter, with certified mail:

By the way; it is illegal for any collection agency to share information with anyone regarding a debt. If they were to speak with your supervisor, they would be violating a few Federal Laws. Don't worry about Bass and Associates. They are crooks, and soon they will be taken down.

When I got the call from Bass & Associates they said I had to pay $700.00 they said part of this was legal fees. Is this true?

There is no legal department involved. False charge.

This lady from Bass has been calling my coworker and threatened to contact my employer telling them I am dishonest and that they are sending my information to the state of PA. they have been calling my job after I asked them not to. what can I do about this? WHen I asked her to hold on I was grabbing someone she hung up.

Did she call you today?

yes she did

Ok I am the same person as Concerned Person...forgot I joined sorry. I asked her to hold on I was going to grab someone to listen in and she hung up the phone. I asked her not to call my place of business and she demanded she speak to my supervisor. I told her my job has nothing to do with my personal business then she accused me of getting my loan online at work (I do have internet at home!!!Hello!!!) She was extremely rude disrespectful. She claims they are sending my information to the state of PA. I've read many of the responses and said " I guess your 'processing' my information now and its being 'downloaded' right?"

whats going on with this company? How are they coniously allowed to operate in this manner and still be in business with so many complaints against them?

Tell the lady that you are aware of their illegal business and will be reporting them to your state attorney general. First report them to Internet Crime Complaint Center. Here is the website.

If they sound tough, you have the legal right to ask for the debt validation. You are not going to send them a dime until they have confirmed their authorization to collect on behalf of your original creditor.

Hello, Anthony:

Until today I had no idea who you were. That's a good thing though because listen to what I have to tell you. March 14, 2007 I received a call from a Susan Thompson from supposedly BASS AND ASSOCIATES. She acted as if she was some type of lawyer/debt collector for an online payday service that I've used some months ago. She went on to say how she was going to file charges/press charges so on and so forth. To go a little further I knew I owed this online service money but didn't remember their name since I closed my account. I sent the company $200 before the day was out and when I got to work today I didn't have their number so I decided to look it up online. Well, when I typed in Bass Associates your site popped up and I started reading. I was FURIOUS :evil: . I called the Attorney General Office of Florida just like you instructed and I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I then called and spoke to the person that calls herself Susan Thompson and she's probably the same person calling herself Kim like another viewer suggested and I gave her a piece of my mine. She didn't sound so tough then. She said real quick, "Let me give you to my supervisor". Who do you think she put on the phone? Damn, right, David Jacobs. I told him that I know his company is under investigation and I wasn't going to send them another !@#$$^% dime. Now, if this was a legit company you would think he would've come back with a professional answer. His answer was, "Are you going to believe everything you rea? He didn't even deny it. Please, Anthony, tell me something to make me feel better or at least what to do.

Hello Toshiag: I recieved your comment on my site. I am sorry that you were another victim of Bass's evil, illegal tactics. Get those complaints filed with the attroney general from your state, and Florida.
