Joseph,Steven & Associates I was the debtor, trying to do the right thing. Ripoff Ventura California
I received a fax from a Sharon Payne saying that her company was collecting a debt that we owed a vender. We called and agreed to a settlement offer and even sent a copy(big mistake) of a check as a good faith offer. We were supposed to send the original check to the office in a few days when we had funds in the account. We agreed to monthly payments after that. Several days later my account went negative because JSA had run the check through our account.
About two weeks later she began calling again, wanting to know when the next payment would be sent. We asked her for something in writing that outlined the agreement that we had and she responded that the fax she sent us was all we needed.
I was not comfortable sending anymore payments without something in writing, so I wrote up a settlement agreement and faxed it to her. Needless to say she was very upset and proceeded to threaten filing suit and seizing our assets etc.
That is when I found this site and read stories about these people and their unsavory practices. If anyone has advice for me, I would welcome it.

Since my report on this company, we have been making payments to the vender each month. I got a few threatening letters, turn us into the IRS, this was our final notice, etc. Yesterday a man called, and asked for our fax #. He sent another "final" notice, then called and asked how we liked the fax. I said " I dont care", and hung up. He repeatedly called after that, 6 or 7 times we ignored the calls, then my son answered and was cursed at by this man who got dirtier and dirtier with all kinds of filth. If I could go to these pigs office and spit in their face I would. Who do I report them to? Do Not Use These Crooks!!!
