I've dealt with Alliance One twice in the last 7 years, thanks to my husbands retarded driving skills. We've always been the one to call them, set up payment plans. 1st time he owed 6k (before we met, thank you) in court fines. Paid it in 6 months, with NO issues. This second time, 2k, set up on $125 a month payments with a total interest charge of $65 or some silly amount.
If you own up and take responsibility for your actions or inactions they seem to treat people pretty well.
If you are getting things in the mail, or they are calling make sure that you have them mail you something. If they state that they have already mailed you something, make sure you "thank" them and tell them to do it again. Most collectors are pretty jerky about having to mail something for some reason.

Have a great day!

This company is just horrible. The ill-trained agents are rude and dishonest. Does the
amount of money they collect have anything to do with how much they are paid? I
think so. I promised to pay a large amount on the account when the money was available. What did they do? Took a huge amount of money from my checking acct.
Falsified a tape that said I authorized it. I suggest that you pay these thieves through the mail. They are thieves and will definately pay for their actions. There
are all kinds of jobs and regardless to how unpleasant they are, someone has to do
them. With that in mind, you should not oppress anyone and don't let your avarice
for money get in the way of how you treat people. With the state of the economy,I
unfortunately have had to deal with others in this same business. But never have I
encountered such blatant lawlessness and disregard for basic respect for another
human being. This is the poorest example of free enterprise that I have ever experienced.

how's about this.you demand details in writing first.then get any agreement in writing.you do not admit to anything or set up anything over the phone.make them document everything.if they won't then you send a DV letter certified mail return receipt.that sound good?that's how i deal with not only this bottomfeeder,but all others like them.
