Allstate Financial Services dba Allstate Adjustment Bureau

employees at this company are total crooks, theifs, whom are steeling from clients banking accounts, dont ever deal or give any personal information over the phone

They called and stated they were collecting for an old credit card account and if I did not make arrangements that night they were going to file with my county courthouse the next dday. They were suppose to take $$ out of my bank account one day and did it 5 days prior. I called and they either kept hanging up on me or they say the person I need to talk to is not there. I ask them to fax or mail me a copy of the paid in full letter and they stated they could not do this.

I made an arrangement with Allstate Financial Services to take $100 a month out of my account for an Applied Bank card that I wanted to pay off. They took $100 in February, $100 the 3rd of March and $685.34 the 16th of March. Their Director who identified himself as Ray Green told me when I called that I agreed to that when I gave them permission to take the $100 a month. They are not reputable. I think they practice dispicable business and make it hard for the reputable agencies who try to work with people who have financial problems. I have no trust now for this kind of transaction.

This company called and threatened me that I would have a bench warrent for my arrest for check fraud if I did not make a payment to them on 3/30/09. They took out 638.00 and then tried to take out another 692.00, they said I agreed to this and I never gave them permission to do so. I'm disabled and all I get is 642.00 a month to live on so why would I let them take all the money I have. They feel that they can threaten you and get by but if you know the law they can not do this, it was on the news how credit card company's are doing this to consumers. My bank gave me back the money and went after them and they gave it back to the bank which makes them admit they were in the wrong for doing so. they all so told me I needed a criminal attorney, but check fraud is when you knowingly sign someone else name on a document with out there consent not stopping a check from going through your bank.

Not only is this company taking money out of my account without permission- they have now started to take out various amounts and doing twice a month.


I have told them to stop taking money out and Brian said that he would, however now I am up to three payments this month. Over an above what my debt was.

My bank says the only recourse I have is to close my account and reopen a new one.

This company is calling saying I have a bounced check from a checking account that was closed a year ago. Fine, I called the company to whom I wrote the check and they said since it's been turned over to this Allstate Financial Services, that I can't pay them directly. The ironic thing is I have the money to pay the amount due. However, the caller, some character calling himself Greg Anthony, is SO unprofessional, trying to threaten with a bunch of legal terms that he's misusing, I honestly don't feel they will mark the debt as paid even if I pay it in full. I wish this company seemed more legitimate so I could pay them and not feel like I was throwing the money off a cliff....

They also told me I was committing fraud because I put a stop payment on a check.They told me they would take it out of my account on the l8th and took it out on the lst. He told me I was getting emotion and sounded like his ex-wife!!!!!

They did this to me. I agreed to 50 dollars a month they took 66. I called them up and asked them to stop, they put thru a check for 666.00 dollars that bounced. I closed the account the called me today and threatened to sue me but said if i paid they would take 100 dollars off the amount i owed. I am going to do everything in my power to stop them from doing this to other people.

Dealt with a Very mean unprofessional man named Tom Adams...admittingly so I had a debt from a doctor. The account was accidently reported to these jerks. I was the one who called them..When I spoke with him he gave me a balance that was not correct...seems the payments I had previously made were not credited. He told me that I had to prove I paid. I did so....But not before he called me a liar. I got the copies of the checks and finally he credited me. I called the company who was handling the bill before this jerk got it. They called him and reported that the previous payments had been made. They call me back and I tell them about all the online things I have seen about allstate financial and they agreed and said they were really nasty to them on the phone as well. They pulled my account back and I now have negotiated again the payment plan and what not...I am thankful to be done (I hope) with this allstate financial. Based on what I have read here.....But cant something be done???I know the owner of the company has political people in his pocket....so what recourse is there?

I filed bankruptcy and included this debt as part of my creditors. They had the paperwork for 6 weeks and the Friday before my hearing date, GREG ANTHONY, called my place of employment IMPERSONATING a Police Lt. and told the receptionist that there was a warrant out for my arrest. Then he called my old neighbors who have moved and told them that I was wanted for EMBEZZLEMENT. He left a message on my answering machine and stated that he was the Assistant to the District Atty in my state and I have committed a Federal Offense. My atty called him and he didn't believe her and he continues to call my place of employment. I could lose my job over this nutcase. This experience of having to go through a bankruptcy is hard enough. It's not my fault that I had a business fall apart because of this economic state we are in and now I have a lunatic slandering my good name. This is shameful of him.

I paid these gangsters what I owed on a Credit One card, and they are still taking money from me, they claim they have initiated a reversal of the amount they took without authorization... it has not happened. Whenever I call, the person I need to talk to is busy, in a meeting, off for the day or something. Now when I call it just rings and rings... I will need to slow my account before my next payday, but am waiting for the reversal, I don't know how to GET anywhere with these jokers!

Allstate Financial Ripoff
They called me and said that
Credit one wanted a settlement
and that they wanted 2 payments
of 177.73. I agreed and my first
payment bounced and I fixed it
and I made the 2 payment. They
went to my checking account and took out a 3 payment without telling me. I called and told them I wanted my money back and they told me I owed that payment plus more. I
am going to see if I can get the attorney General after them and maybe we can catch them. They don't give you any documents showing the payments
that you are paying and the person I made the arrangement with was never there. His name
is Doug Diamond. Don't deal with these crooks if you can avoid them.

This company is harrassing me currently & calling family members...after researching them prior to return call, I will absolutely not answer their calls.

This company has made physical threats to my husband whose has been disabled by a work injury.They are harrasing and do not deserve to have their next breath. I have made several calls to the medical companies that we do owe, to let them know we will make payments when his payments kick in. Evidently that was not fast enough. They turned us over to this horrible collection agency. I know that if you take their calls or call them, you open yourself up to more harrassment. State law allows this type of harrassment. Do not answer your phone if you don't know the number. State law should force them to stop calling you after one year of no contact.Good Luck if you can hold out.

I have a similar experience and have filed a complaint against them with the FTC. I recommend that you all do the same for their unfair practices and scare tactics. I would recommend that you send them a letter that references the Fair Debt Collection act 809(b).

OMG!!!! i have exactly the same story as everyone!! they withdrew money out of my account without permission..coused major overdraft fees with my bank ! Thankfully , my bank has agreed to give the money back and deal with them . I still have to close all my accounts!!!I am not giving up and will sue them . This cannot be happening!!!

I had them call me and threaten to take me to the DA. Then my husband who is active duty called them with his chain of command they threatened him. I wrote them and the company that I owe $84.00 and stated for them to only contact me by snail mail. Well they called me again and I stated that I would sue them for harrassment and they should read their mail better. I have filed with the BB and with the AG in both states. I stated that I am willing to pay the money but the needed to show the 3 letters that they stated they mailed me - they lied. They have to be STOPPED.

This company is horrible! First I set up two payments for June and July of 2009. I then informed the representative that I was not able to make any more payment until November; however, they took a $160 something dollars out of my account in August. When I was trying to get my money reimbursed I was given the run around. I got that issue resolves (they did not reimbursed me) after being hung up on several times.
Then in November I started my payments again and they were doing fine until May I guess that's when my account was resolved. Then I called because they took out more then I approved (authorized). I was informed that they would return the amount back to the amount that was authorized. Then in June they deducted a higher amount again. I called and the representative informed me that my account was cleared and that that amount should not have been deducted. I was asked to send my banking information showing that they had deducted the amount for June. I called to get the fax number and was given the run around once again!! I was told that their systems was down so I was unable to give them any information; however, the representative called me by my First name and I called him on it!! I have decided to dissolve any further transaction with them. Enough is enough!
