Smith, Dean & Associates, AKA Dean & Associates
Vincent dean at smith, dean and associates is a liar and will stop at nothing to get what he wants

After filing complaints with both the Florida State Attorney's Office and the Bureau of Financial Responsibility (which has jurisdiction over collection agencies) against United Processing, less than a month later I received a message on my answering machine from THESE cretins telling me I was being prosecuted for felony fraud, a 2nd-degree felony, and I would be in jail before nightfall if I did not send $300.50 via WalMart within 2 hours. He also stated that he had done a background check on me, and found a lot of shady things.

My husband picked up the phone during the tail end of this message. Bearing in mind my husband is actually a 3rd party, which made this whole episode illegal, a man who said he was Vincent Davis claimed he plays golf with the judge, they were going to make an example out of me, and E-Z Payday had secured Federal funds to prosecute me.

I called the State Attorney's Office and was told the following: when E-Z Payday accepted my check, agreeing to hold it, my check then became a Promissory Note. It is not a felony, I cannot be prosecuted for it, and if they want to pursue the matter in Civil Court, they certainly may.

I then did a reverse phone lookup and found Smith, Dean and Associates has the same address as United Processing. Somehow this did not surprise me.

I called Mr. Davis and advised him exactly which office I spoke to and which attorney; he said, "Great." When I read the statute to him, he said, "Oh, you're a deadbeat, you don't want to pay your bills." When I stated this was not the case, he said it again and hung up.

DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! Call your local State Attorney's Office if you get a phone call like this!!! These sharks must be stopped!
