Allied Interstate Inc: Do they harass consumers quite often?

Hi, I need some advice as to what to do when Allied Insterstae calls (caller ID) but when you answer, there is noone there? Music plays and noone comes to the phone. This is annoying to say the least, and has been going on with two phonecalls a day for the past three weeks.

I purchased a part to repair a pc from Allied Interstate website for $60 because i seen they had the lowest price on it and had great reviews on their website. We needed that part to fix our pc. I did not check the company out. My card was charged for the item. One week later I get the phone calls from Allied Interstate claiming they had some info for me. I gave them my ss number as they requested and they informed me they if I dont pay up right now for a past due account that I will receive a subpoena from the Justice Department by the end of the month. Im very afraid of what is going to happen so Ill probably contact an attorney to see about bankruptcy because we are already in financial crisis anyway.

Mark....you didnt purchase any part from Allied...they are a collection agency

I have been getting calls from Allied Interstate (words on caller id) We are within a few months of paying off debt with debt counseling service, so I don't know if they are calling with a legit debt. Either way, after reading many websites about how bad AI is, I've had NO plans to answer their calls! I can go as long as they can. They call, I don't answer. Please advise for ways to handle this.
Thank you!

We are awakened EVERY morning at 8A looking for a person we've never heard of. They always say they'll remove our number but the call comes in the following morning.
Is a harrassment suit out there?????

I have been woken up twice this weekend by this company trying to collect an unknown debt. They start the calls before 9:00 and when you answer there is no one on the other end of the line. I called the number back several times leaving them not so nice messages about their illegal practice and harassing tactics. What gives these people the right to call at the time they do on weekends? I am not taking this lightly any longer and have left several messages demanding an explanation. Please let me know how I can join in the class action law suit against them as I will surely be willing to add some fuel to the fire. This form of telemarketing is not right and I want it stopped. Thank You

The FDCPA allows calls b/w 0800 and 2100 in your time zone 365 days a year

Allied Interstae keeps calling my house looking for someone who has never lived here. We have had the same number for over 30 years. How do I get rid of them

Allied Interstate has been calling my number for over a year. I don't know the person that they are asking me about. I have asked them to take me off of their calling list, but they continue to call!
I would ask them to send a validation of debt, but I'd rather not give them my address or any other information. What can I do?

They have been calling for about a week for someone that has not had this number (I have owed it for 4 years). It comes up on my caller ID as "Telemarketing". I receive about 5-6 calls day starting at 9am. Every time I get the persons name and what company They claim Capital one, I do have an account with them but it has a zero balance so i know they are not looking for me. They claim it is in the system to remove my number but it will take 24-48 hrs to remove. I have been hearing that from different collection agencies for over 4 years for this same person.

Over a year ago me and my Grandmother moved into our new home, and got a new phone number. Right away Allied Interstate began calling while we were away leaving messages with no name, call back number, or any contact info. A few months ago we finally managed to get a legit callback number off of caller ID and my grandmother, called them. They told her they were looking for some man we had never heard of, and she told them her name and said that she had never heard of the man, knew nothing of him, anything. The phone calls stoped for a few weeks, then started back. This time they are using her name (mispronounced), undoubtedly because they make sure to tell you they "monitor their calls" and were able to get her name and use it to call her. We owe nothing to anyone who would use Allied Interstate. Any outstanding debts she has are either in the process of being payed or have been payed.

I have asked the call from 18772251118 to please stop calling since I have no debt nor do I know the person they inquire about I have registered with "DO NOT CALL" and filed a Complaint with the FTC lets see what happens.

This is the first time they called me and that at 9am on a Sunday morning. When I answered the phone no one seemed to be there, so I hung up and reported them to the "Do not call Registry" where I am registered and a place called "Who called me". Most collection Agencies I've talked to are nice and remove you from their call list when they found out you are not the person they are looking for.

Just an additional warning. Allied Interstates, Inc seemed to be fishing for information from me. When I got on the phone, I was immediately asked if I was so and so. When I said yes, I was immediately accused of having a debt with Columbia House (purposely named because it should be noted which companies hire Allied Interstate) and asked how I was going to take care of the debt. He said this several times and then I asked how do they know I am the correct person - my name is very common. Then the person on the phone kept asking my address. I refused to answer and responded by asking what address do you have on file. After back and forth and a yelling match - he finally gave me the address. Yes, of course it was the wrong person. I could be wrong, but I almost think that had I given my address - he would have said - oh yep that's you....

This is pathetic both the way Allied Interstate handled the issue and Columbia House's hiring of the company. Especially in today's age of a high instance of identify theft. Columbia House should also be ashamed for using this agency - making all so and so's in a georgraphic area miserable for $140.

To Columbia House, by you using this organization - you are stooping to their level. I for one, will never make a purchase from your organization because of this.

i don't understand why this is on my credit report, i call the agencey that had the bill and set up a payment plan with them the money was taken, so why is this bill here? directtv $44
