D, I sent all of the information to Bud Hibbs, and have had numerous conversations, emails and faxes with him and his staff on this issue. At this time they are only gathering information and complaints. Ameristar is a small operation and is fairly new, so there are not many public complaints yet on them. As of today, they are not listed on budhibbs.com.

I believe you'll find that these clowns are listed prominently on Bud Hibbs' site, Bud Hibbs dot com. They are truly a bunch of idiots, and I hope your take them to the cleaners!

This is really rich! I get a letter from this "Wiliam H. Dunn" character. He tells me that they DO NOT have any file data on the alleged debt, and it has been "sold back" to Westridge Financial. My position is, WHY and HOW can you send someone threatening and harassing collection letters and even threaten a lawsuit on a "debt" that you have absolutely NO DETAILS on? William claims it was an "error", and the letter should not have been sent! This is a classic, EVERY time you nail these jerks to the wall, they claim it is an "error" thinking that will get them off the hook. Not with me it won't! They just incriminated themselves of engaging in illegal collections activity. Also, I verified with the State of IL. They ARE NOT licensed as debt collectors. FL tells me the same thing. They do NOT even have a business license in IL! How do you spell scam?

Chalie knows he is operating illegally, as I sent both Charlie Wonderlic, and William Dunn an invitation by FAX to visit us here on Rip Off Report. They are both a no show. Today's progress: I filed a complaint with the IL AG online, and printed and mailed the complaint form with supporting documentation to the FL. AG's office. I did an online complaint for mail fraud to the USPS Postal Inspector. I filed additional FTC complaints online. I consulted my attorney on filing suit. He says I have an iron clad case as the violations are black and white and documented. I needed some extra summer vacation money!

BREAKING NEWS![Not Beaking news]. Can't type. I was up way too late and was way too excited with what I found out on these bottomfeeders. It is common amongst bottom feeder debt buyers to feel that they do not need to be licensed as debt collectors. However, this assumption is totally false. They are operating illegally. Period. Charles F. Wonderlic is, by definition, a criminal. He owns Ameristar and is totally unlicensed. Not even a business license! I am going after a RICO case here. I have filed complaints with the States of IL and FL already, and am filing with the Postal Inspector for mail fraud today. Then I go to the Justice Dept with my RICO case. Charlie F**ked with the wrong debtor this time.

I checked with the State of Illinois and the State of Florida. Ameristar Financial Sercvicing Company, LLC IS NOT licensed as a debt collector. I checked all versions of the name and wildcard searches. NOTHING. In Illinois, that is a $5000 fine on the first offense! I love it. They are not registered in FL either as required to collect here. In FL this can get you jailtime. I really love this!
