Cases Against Allied Interstate, Inc.

Cash v. Allied Interstate, Inc., 2005 WL 1186189 (S.D. Tex.

May 18, 2005). Collection notice stating that the debt collector may send the debt to an attorney, recommend a law suit, or send the debt back to the original creditor was not found to be misleading, deceptive, or a violation of the FDCPA. These actions were legal possibilities. A debt collection notice sent to the consumer stating that the consumer only had 10 days to pay was considered to be threatening. After ten days, no actual action was taken, so this notice was false and misleading.

Stebbins v. Allied Account Servs., 1991 U.S. Dist. LEXIS

21778 (D. Conn. Sept. 9, 1991). Collector violated the FDCPA by sending a notice to the consumer stating that the consumer should call the debt collector. This contradicts the fact that the consumer is required to dispute and request validation in writing.

Acheampongtieku v. Allied Interstate, Inc., 2005 WL

2036153 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 24, 2005). Debt collector did not violate the FDCPA because they gave the consumer an opportunity to dispute the debt before they reported it to the credit bureaus.

Plain Old Joe

This company targets the lower class consumer with poor credit ratings. They constantly have the non English speaking illegals immigrants to call and harass you every day over-the-phone. These people do not take NO as an answer and do not understand the words "take me off your list!"

I received a recorded call from AI's number asking me to call them. I do not intend to do so. If they call again I will not pick up the phone. I will then check whether they have entered false information on my credit report. I so I will take action in writing since I have NO debts to anyone!

Just want to pay my bill!

Allied has been trying to collect a debt from me for over a year now, but can't seem to understand plain English in order to do so! The first time they attempted to collect a debt from me years ago, they overcharged me (illegally, I might add, since I only authorized a certain amount, and they verified the amount verbally) and my bank was overdrawn as a result of their actions. I was bounced around from office to office around the country, but no one wanted to do anything about it or even talk to me about it, so I had to take it in the rear. Now they are trying to collect a different debt. I informed them in January that I didn't have a bank account, and would gladly pay the bill via money order if they would send it to me. They claim they sent a bill; one I never got. I asked them to try sending it again, because now I have a bank account, but they refuse, trying to cite some bs about Fair Debt Collection laws. Where was their concern for those laws when they illegally overcharged me? A manager actually had the nerve to say he would only send me a bill if I could prove that they overcharged me on the other account! I have to prove they're engaging in illegal activities in order to get a bill from them to pay them more money?! When I informed them that I would NEVER pay them over the phone again but would be HAPPY to pay the bill if they sent it in writing, they flat out refused, and said that they would report me as refusing to pay. I made sure to say it loud and clear on their recording that I DO want to pay my bill, but I will not pay it over the phone. What kind of idiot refuses to send you a bill but expects you to pay them money? All they would have to do is send me a bill, and they'd have their money in less than a month, given the time it takes mail to come and go. You'd think if they were serious about collecting my debt, they'd do whatever it takes to do so, including simply sending me a bill!

Allied some how got my mother's phone number and called there several times. They called when I was there. I answered and asked how he got the number. He would not tell me. At first he wouldn't even tell me who he was or worked for. I told him not to call this number again and hung up. He called right back yelling that it was illegal for me not to pay my bills. I asked his name and who he worked for. He kept yelling so I hung up again. He immediately called back again. He finally said that his name was Kevin and he worked for Allied. I asked for their address. He talked over me and acted like he didn't hear me. I asked for his address again and he hung up.

These people call me everyday sometimes 4 or 5 times a day. They call my boyfriends business phone then they call my cell phone. I have told them NOT to call my boyfriend's business phone they presist. When they call there is no one on the other end. When they answer the phone they don't have the right name I don't go by my first name I go by two names. I told them that the more they call me like everyday the longer they have to wait for the money. The next time they call the business phone I
will have my lawyer get involved

These people are calliing me all kinds of hours. They do not take no for an answer. I have asked them many times not to call me but they still call me. I asked them to remove my number from their list because if they call, I will not talk to them at all.

Wrong number

Allied just recently started calling me. I have a blocker on my phone that automatically picks up and hangs up on 800/877/866 numbers but not out of area numbers. So i called back gave them the number told them i wasnt who they wanted (i am though) and asked what it was reguarding and he became verbally abusive asking why i want to know someone elses business and blah blah so i gave it right back to him full force and he got quiet. I was nice, just very firm. He said he was removing my number... We'll see.

I am being called a minimum of 3 times a day and as much as 8 times a day by allied interstate claiming I owe a $60 debt to a national department store chain. when this harassment began 3 months ago I requested a bill detailing when and where the purchase was made as well as what was purchased. they have yet to send that information. they have asked for my social security number. they tell me they have me at an address in california although I have not lived there for 6 years. I have called the credit department of the store in question and am told I have no outstanding balance owed. this makes no difference to allied and the calls continue. I have resorted to blowing a whistle in the phone when they call and figuring that they are billed for each call completed to their 800 number so am now currently calling that number every time I get a call from them and hanging up. I would think their phone bill far outweighs what they claim they need to collect but the calls continue. this is the most underhanded unethical company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. how anyone can work for a company like this and face themselves in the mirror in the morning defies comprehension. they are scum!

secretary

I work for a church. We get phone calls daily from AI, but they are always a recording. THey leave a phone number which, when I call, asks for an access code. When I called the number on this site, I got a man who couldn't find our phone number in the system. He transferred me to someone else and when she couldn't find our number in the system, she hung up on me!

#11 - Elizabeth - 10/16/2009 - 11:06

UPDATE: 1-866-525-7795 is disconnected. The website is no longer up either. I called again and got someone who couldn't find our number in their system. When I asked why the phone number that the recording leaves doesn't work she said "I don't know" and when I asked how I can stop the phone calls she again said "I don't know". I asked if there was someone there that might know and she put me on hold, then told me she was transferring me to her supervisor, but then hung up! We are a church and have NO DEBT at all!

I have been getting calls from 877-225-1118 up to 8 times a day every day of the week. No message is left. I recently called the number and was told that she couldnt give me any information until I answered some questions. I asked if this was a solicitation call...I was told that it wasn't. I told her I need to know why I am being called. Wouldn't tell me this. I asked to take my number off the list and don't call if you can't disclose who you are and why you are calling. Less than 2 hours passed and another from the same number came to my phone. I called and talked to someone, Ann, and was told the same thing. This person told me she needed to know she was talking to the right person and had to know my last four SSN and address. I told her with all the I.D. theft did she think I was going to give her this information. I told her to give me her SSN, address, etc. Naturally, she refused. I told her I was calling the BBB b/c I am being harassed. I have a right to know why I am being hounded down without disclosing any information about myself.

Phone calls every day sometimes 2-3 times from someone with a terrible accent...says I owe him $24,000....from a debt in 1999....I have never owed that much and have never had a credit limit that high. I dont know what he is talking about and if someone does owe a bill from 1999 I think the statue of limitations has run out. I have asked them not to call and my numbers are on the do not call list but they call anyway. My wife is a doctor and she gets calls on her cell phone at work and her number is for patients who have emergencys and hospital staff only...I have told this idiot to stop and have made threats but nothing works. They should be put out of business.

I am a 83 year old lady with limited income only SS. My debts are hospital related and I am paying the hospitals a small amount each month and these people are harrassing me. I am paying but not enough to suit them. They have called me after 9pm and before 8am. I have had it. I plan to contact the Attorney General in my state of Fl. My daughter is also being called to collect my debt, this is unacceptable. Please do something!!
