If it is past the SOL I don't believe they can. This company is good for doing that, they also are good for violating fair collecting laws. I would file a complaint against them, but first I would request a debt validation letter from them, and then file a complaint don't waste time by waiting for them to respond to your letter, chances are they will blow it off.. Cornell if I were you I would send them a cease and desist letter telling them to stop calling you and also file a complaint. They should be getting to the complaints by now, it seems they violate enough laws.
Hello. I see I am not alone in being harrassed by Allied Interstate. I receive 2-3 phone calls a day for a Michael. I am not this person, I have stated each time to Allied that I have no knowledge of them. They rudely hang up. I happened to find this while looking up the company. Everytime I call them back, they are rude and hang up on me. I cant get them to give me an address or anything. I did a reverse lookup on the phone number on my caller id- 775-319-1501. I am so annoyed and am tired of putting up with this. I just want it to stop!!
Allied keeps calling to collect a debt from my son jr. The debt is owed by my ex husband sr. My sons ssn does not appear on the debt but they keep calling and asking " if he wants to help his father out" When I tried to call for my son, a college student, the Allied rep. Clint was very rude, screamed at me and hung up when I tried to explain that he can't collect a fathers debt from his son. I have called their Consumer Advocacy Group. What should my next move be?

DW, send a dispute letter in writing mentioning that this is not your son's debt. In case, they pursue some actions you will have proof of your records. Send the letter through certified mail and return receipt requested.

Chris, why are you posting the parent company of Allied Interstate? Is that so others can contact you for the numerous violations Allied Interstate is committing?
Received a letter form Allied Interstate stating that I owe a balance from a phone company that is almost 6 years old. I don't believe I owe this amount but I don't have any records from that far back. Does anyone know what the SOL is or where I can find out?

You should dispute the entry because you are not sure about it. The responsibility falls on Allied Interstate to give you the specifics. Refer them to the FDCAP laws on debt validation. Catch this link for more information

I need an address for the above company so I can write them a 'cease and desist' letter. Thanks.

Wow, am I suprised at all the negative feedback for a company I worked for, I just came online to find out their address for a resume and did a yahoo search. But, it doesn't suprise me. I was not one of the employees who used to use illegal tactics to collect but I had witnessed it in person. Yes, I worked for them but if any "debtor" disputed and could provide me proof that they did not owe the debt, I went out of my way to have their names removed from the list. I was one of the companies top collectors and always used tact, negotiation and debt consolidation techniques to resolve my accounts. I wish all those of you who have had bad dealings with them the best of luck. Either they are no longer in business or working under a different name because I couldn't find the address for them.
