Allen Lewis and Associates 904-265-8138, Deceptive and Abusive Collections Practices (class action needed) Jacksonville, Florida

I have been harassed by these guys at Allen Lewis and Associates for the last two weeks. This is the first time I have heard of this issue that they say is well over a year old. They have been calling me on my work number, I didn't know this was a no no. So I am going to tell them to call another number. They were extremely threatening, demeaning and abusive verbally, especially by a guy by the name of Mark Davis. I was physically shaking by the end of the call.

They have made  at least two false statements to me:

1. By saying that they cannot hold this any longer or it will go back to the client. This is not true because I called the client and they said it specifically cannot go back to them, it's against the law. Somebody is lying and I don't think it is the very nice and polite lady at the store whom I offered to pay dirrectly.

2.They are insinuating that I have committed a crime because I am in possession of "missing property" (the same as saying it's stolen property). How can you be held liable for the financial value of an item plus interest and also have it charged as stolen or "missing" property at the same time??

I want to pay this off because it is just a big misunderstanding, and a very long story. But they insist that I give them my checking account info or a credit card, NOW "or else". I don't trust them, and according to this forum and their "F" rating on the Better Business Bureau webstie I'm better off not cooperating.

There seem to be ample grounds for a class action suit. If any attorney wants to pursue I am willing to help out. These guys are extremely unprofessional.
