"I own a business in Jacksonville Florida and was just approached by a salesman (Robert Davis 904-721-3705) from Smith, Dean & Associates 101 Century 21 Drive #107 Jacksonville, Fl 32216 to handle the collection of bad checks for my business. They were United Processing the last time I was approcahed from their salesman. There is a recent lawsuit filed by the Illinois Attorney General for deceptive and unfair trade practices against them. This might be a good case to follow up on and file a class action type suit or use case law with any future legal action. Google their name for a link to the lawsuit. From what I can gather, this organization is shady. "  

also....

"ROBERT DAVIS IS A STRAIGHT UP DRIVING ON SUSPENDED LICENSE, CONVICTED FELON....THEY ARE DESPARATE FOR BUSINESS DUE TO THE FACT THE OWNER LISA SMITH AKA LISA WATTS OWES ALL HER CLIENTS, AND THEY PULLED THERE BUSINESS.....WARN ANYONE THAT IS LISTENING DO NOT PLACE BUSINESS THERE,THEY USE ILLEGAL TACTICS LIKE STATING A WARRANT WILL BE ISSUED FOR HER ARREST IF YOU DO NOT PAY ....THEY REALLY GO BY THE SAYING DESPARATE TIMES CALLS FOR DESPARATE MEASURES........

called my son in law saying that he was under investigation for fraud and if he did not pay a 200 dollar debt by 3 pm that they were going to file suit with the fla attorney general.  my daughter called all the courts and the attorney general and found that they (ny daughter and son in law) can file charges against this caller for harassment and defamation of character (they also called all my son in law's family saying all these nasty threats).  the offices my daughter called said they cannot file anything against you, you can sue them in a class action suit for (get this) 500 thousand dollars and attorney costs.  this is out and out harassment!  do not acknowlege your debt, do not answer their questions, or tell them anything.  get their address and speak to an attorney!!!! if they continue to harass after you ask them to stop and send them a certified letter saying the same, then you do not owe that debt!!! google your rights!!!! you cannot get arrested for not paying a  bill!!!  get their address and post it here.  we can give them what for!!!!  what they are doing is highly illegal!!!

they called my mother and left her the message for her to return there call because i was under investigation.

this fu$$% people just told me the same thing and i live in va but i was foolish enough to pay them what should i do now. is this a scam or could they have but a warrent out on me ]

ok these ppl had me going got a call from Angie Smith saying there will b charges brought up against me if this matter is not taking care of, they got me good had me on pens and needles and all i could think is i'm getting ready to graduate from Nursing school i cant b a nurse and have a felony thanks to my sister she google this company and told me to go and check out there web pg can not wait to talk to them i will scare there azz just like she did me ask her to repeat her self about my felony charges then thank her and let her know i got all the information that my lawyer asked me for and that actions will be filed against her and her company so thanks alot joke will be on u ANGIE SMITH........ Look forward to speaking with this company.....THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS.

OMG! I can't even describe how I could have fall for this. I knew I have done nothing wrong, but when someone trying to threaten a family member to get in touch with me. I take this very seriously and here is the catch after listen to them going on and on about if I don't pay this I am going to JAIL....Man these people was very unprofessional and on the 3rd calls I caught it. I just reported them to the FTC and contact the BBB for information on this company. They are not even listed. This is a damn shame, Jason, Angela or whatever their names is will try to con people. This is world is in recession and they are doing nothing but hurting themselves. I am waiting for them to call me back b/c I am going to let them know they are full of sh*&.

Sorry, meant Smith Dean.

An "investigator Perez" (sounded remarkably like Rosie Perez) left a voice mail on the phone for my wife, saying she must call about a case against her.

My wife died 18 months ago and was fighting cancer the five years prior to that.

Callers from this number are calling my friends saying they have a felony warrant for my arrest and extradition to Florida for bad checks.  I do not have bad checks anywhere.  They are saying they are a law firm when in fact they are a collection agency.  They are in  violation of all kinds of laws.  Just a bunch of nothings trying to rip people off.  If they call you just laugh at them and hang up.

A woman by the name of Angie Smith called my mother twice in the past two days threatening to have me put in jail.  The phone number is 904-855-8025 from the home of Jeannette J. Meeks in Jacksonville, Florida.  She is trying to contact me about a company that vacated their office and never contacted me again.  They had my address and I never received a letter of where to send payments or that they were still in business.  She made it sound like she was a lawyer and was going to charge me with felonies, scaring my 80 year old mom.  I have received a collection notice from another company for the bill, the first contact on April 27, 2010 in maybe a year.  They are going to except payments, so why is this woman calling my relatives?  I don't know who to call to report this, but I am glad I found this post.  At least it helped my mom feel relieved.

I received a call from Smith Dean and Assc. They said basically the same to me. I was 1st contacted by them and then given to "Robert Davis" .The difference here is that I knew I owed the debt they spoke of. However I had recently lost my job and was forced to move back to my home state. In all of the caos I HONESTLY forgot about the debt,.
I had taken out a $400.00 pay day loan. When I took out this loan I had to leave a check for the amount of the loan, plus 10% intrest so in total, a check for $440.00. They cash this check in the event you don't come back to pay in full with in a month.
Being that I had lost a job, moved, and again, Honestly....I completely forgotten about the whole thing.
"Robert Davis" Would hear nothing of this or hear about payment arangements. He was very rude, and verbally abussive, he threatend me as well, saying I was about to have two felony warrents for a bad check and an attempt to defraud. He said I would be expidieted back to Florida and that I would be charged the the expense for this.He cut me off no matter what I tried to say. He insisted I was guilty and that I had no choice but to pay the debt WITHIN 1 HOUR. This is the VERY 1st contact he had ever had with me.  The federal Trade Commision clearly states that they must send you "verification of the debt" with in five days of the 1st contact.
Being an honest person...I wanted to clear up the debt. I asked them to send me verification of the debt especially since they had added $180.00 to what I knew I owed.
Being that I had lost a job and through out my life I have worked with developmentally disabled people I just dont have that kind of money sitting around, especially to try and come up with in an hour.
I had 1 hour to react, and inlisted the help of my mother. She also attemoted to speak with "Robert Davis" who was equally as rude to her and hung up on her three times. When my mother asked if there was a way to make two payments she was told "Yes, you can, one now... and one at four o'clock" by Mr. "Davis".
In the midths of both my mother and I speaking to Mr. Davis, we also Spoke to the in famous "Lisa". I tried to explain to her that Mr "Davis was rude and very unprofessional, to both myself and my mother.
I was in the process of trying to tell her that I wanted clear up the debt when she told me " I hope your mother has the money to get you a lawyer when your felony warrents are issued"
Because we were racing agaist the clock and did not want to take the risk that they could actually issue these warrents., we PAID the debt. As I write this we are still awaiting conformation that they recived it and that my case and owing the debt of the loan has been discharged.

Dean and Associates are calling on a regularly for someone elses bills. I keep puttin gtheir number on my call reject list but they keep using a different number everytime they call. How can I get them to stop calling other than just blocking their number?

I got a call from this company saying they are cops. He called himself "Officer Freemen"!!!! Won't give badge numer. He called from 904-721-3709 and 904-721-3711 and 904-721-3712. He's saying that their trying to collect from a check from July of 2009! This is sooooo full of crap and we Caught him in the act!!! HAHAHAHA [removed:lang]: So Glad for this FORUM!!! Thanks for letting us know!!!

It's a collections agency working for a Payday Loan company. I'm including them on my bankruptcy and haven't paid them for a month or two. They say they're about to have you arrested for a small unpaid amount, add collections charges and say they will have you arrested if you don't pay in 45 minutes. Vicious. My lawyer called them to tell them to bug off.

Sister got a call but it was from 904-721-3708 ext. 207 saying she was Detective Sharon Jackson and if I did not pay a certain amount of money in the hour she was leaving for the court house to issue a warrant for my arrest.  My sister called me scared and I dialed this number and a man answered, but not as it was a business and he said I had the wrong number, then I called back and gave the ext. and he wanted to put me on hold.  I then called the sheriffs office in duval county to ask for a dect. Sharon Jackson and there was noone by that name.  I filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission and I am continuosly calling this number and harrassing them to see how they like it.

correction on my first post :



the name of the company is smith dean associates in or near jacksonville, fl.  i will post if i find more info, there seem to be alot of people being harrassed by this crummy outfit.

here is the best info yet:
quoted from the above mentioned site (these quotes are all from posters at this site about this company, not the views of debtconsolidationcare.com)

'You dont need to file a class action just call STEVEN COHEN W THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 202 326 3222 to file a complaint, BELIEVE ME THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR W THIS COMPANY '

I received a call from "Jason James" with this company after my mother received the same call. He used foul language and threatened that I should have already been arrested, but if I would send him $500.00 in an hour he would "see what he could do". I told him the debt had been paid. He called me a liar and cursed again. After I returned the language and then some he said good luck in jail. My uncle is an assistant attorney general in my state. Good luck to you "Mr. James"!! It was so nice to find I was not the only one this band of outlaws have harrassed like that!

This number called my wife, and myself and disclosed information about my sister.  A woman identifying herself as Angie Smith told me they had two felony charges of check fraud against my sister they were pursuing and they needed her phone number right away.  She said if they could talk to her they may be able to stop it from going to court.  I gave them the information because they identified the business as Smith and Dean Associates (thought they were a law office).  Then I googled the name and number only to end up here.  Interesting.  Thanks everyone.  Going to call that Steven Cohen.

I got three calls today from Angela Smith, David Lynch, and another David.  THey said if I did not pay for a check from a pay day loan that I received, I told them I already paid the check to the company that I wrote it to, he said I was lying and said the sheriff was on his way to my office. THen hung up on me.  He then called back and said I was a worthless piece of sh&t and said he was accompanying the police to my job. I said no problem. Angela called back a 3rd time and told my boss that I was wanted by the police for writing a bad check and the police was going to show up at my office to arrest me.

I got a call last night from a Angie Smth (Smith, Dean & Associates), I thougt it was a law firm, just to find out that they are a collection agency from Florida. Angie told me that I had two felony warrants on me for a bad check, and that if I didn't have almost $400.00 dollars paid by 9:00am the next morning that my name was the first on her list to prosecute and that the law would be out to pick me up and take me to jail. I was worried some, but the more I thought about it and some of the things she said just din't add up. I got on the computer and looked up the name of their company and low and behold...I found out alot that answered my suspensions about them. They are still calling me but I'm not answering the phone, I'm just letting my lawyer take care of the situation. I don't really know the law but some things she said to me just wasn't right, she got a little smart with me and I didn't like that. Then I googled the name and ended up here only to find out alot of interesting things about this so called company. Thanks everyone!

Ole Jason James ... what a piece of work.  You got to hand it to these folks, they are virtual pit bulls.  They stop at absolutely nothing, pretend to be anyone, and I must confess I find it amazing (and entertaining) to whaty incredible lengths they think they can get away with. Unfortunately, some people fall prey to their strong arm tactics, and it is very sad how they can destroy peo[ple who are down on their luck.  They prey on FEAR, and are quiote good at it.  When I got the call (I did not answer) and listened to Jason's message I immediately know something was stupid here, and within a couple of minuites knew all about them.  But what gets me is how they acquire info about family and relatives.  I have figured they DO have access to the original pay day loan applications, and the information contained therein, and they go from there.  They succeed in freaking out family members or even friends who have no clue as to what is going on.  I was GOING to pay back the pay day loan when I could (lost my job a week before it came due, and had done it three times before with no problem) but now that this outfit is involved I'll just watch and let them, waste their time.  I even might answer and act all afraid, just to see how much Jason James enjoys dominating fearful people.  
 Do not let these a-holes bother you in the slightest.  They are not cops, lawyers, or anything but some very sleazy people in a sleazy business who have taken sleazy practices to new heights.  It really bugs the hell out of them when they can't get to you, and I really liked Jason James attempt, last night, he called my ex-sister in law (I am mystified how her got her number or even associated her with me -- perhaps I used her on an application, can't remember) and she absolutely freaked out.  That's what they do -- freak people out.  My heart breaks about the post of the people, just a month ago, who gave away their thanksgiving dinner to pay that scumbag because they bought into his threats.  
 You have to wonder how they live with themselves.  I also liked the post about the owner of the company -- and the post obviously comes from someone who knows them intimately -- just as people.  I can't wait for their next call -- just to mess with their heads somehow.

this people at smith dean and assoc has to be stopped for what they are doing it is only a scare tactic there is no such place as debt prison  if they tell your information they breaking the law if they threaten to have you arrested for not paying a bill they are breaking the law you can sue this people for what they have done to you and if a enough people would sue it could just put them out of business try calling 32329882400 law office that knows about this people

Got a call from them at 5:30 AM PST, don’t owe anything so I Google the number and got you guys. Thank you for the info. I called him back Jason James that is.
Got someone else answer the line and said you guys called me for something, the guy said no , not sure what your saying, did not even answer the call like a business. I then said ext. 203 and he did, now it’s a business, Jason got on the line and said fraud dept. I said you guys are a bunch of collectors and he said go slap your mother for me and hung up.
I called back and said I have you on recording (which I did not) but some how he got all scared and said whatever and hung up. This slim ball does not even know there jobs, I owe no one or did anything wrong. I think I will call them back a few more times and bother them all day today since I have the day off and see how they like it, I will be a cop also investigating them

OH MY GOSH!  I just got the same phone call that seems everyone else is getting.  Knew it!  They shouldn't think that everyone on this planet is stupid.  I had him pegged from the beginning.  The owner of this company ought to know how "Investigator" Jason James talks to people.  Very unprofessional!  He is probably running off business instead of collecting.  
Have to admit, at first, I was about to throw up.  Said they had me on camera writing a bad check.  He said so much BS, I don't have time to type it all.  What a JACK*** to do that to people!  Obviously we have done something for a collection agency to contact us, but some things just can't be helped.  I will be calling whoever I can including Steve Cohen to turn these people in.

Jason James contacted me at work yesterday claiming to be an investigator. He thought he was calling a medical facility when in reality he was contacting a law firm. I knew from the get go that this was some sort of a scam. He claimed to be an investigator and said if I did not pay him $450.00 within the hour he was going to be in court, signing an affidavit and having me arrested for 2 felony charges. I played along with him, but I knew he was full of crap because I collected debts as a paralegal for several years! I knew that he could not file criminal charges against me. So after I hung up I searched the web and found all these blogs about this company and that IL has a restraining order against them. I called them 5 times last night and just played stupid each time. They would hang up and I would call back. I laughed so hard when they started getting flustered. This company is nothing but an illegal business trying to scam people. Some of these debts are not real debts. Reports have been made that they keep the money and do not pay the original PDL company. Reports have been made that they owe taxes. Obviously the State of IL does not like them! Do you know that you can sue them and get $1,000.00 from them for what they are doing to you. Even if you do owe the debt they are talking about dont pay them. Call the original lender and pay them direct!
