Success Stories

  • Allied Interstate often sues consumers over debts they don't owe.
  • Allied Interstate Inc. calls and harasses the relatives and family of the debtors.
  • Not disclosing their identity while calling.
  • Being rude and aggressive over the phone.

  • Violating FDCPA on several counts.

What to do when you're harassed by Allied Interstate

  • Ask for identification: If you have been contacted by Allied Interstate, you may respond to their call and ask the caller to identify himself/herself. If it is a call related to debt collection, ask for their physical address.
  • Debt validation: Send a validation letter via certified mail with return receipt requested and preserve the receipt for future references.
  • Check credit report: Pull your credit report to check if they have it reported to the bureaus. If they have wrongly reported to the credit bureaus, you may dispute the same with them.
  • Do not settle over phone: Don't authorize payment over the phone even if you receive proper validation.
  • Send C&D letter: If you've been contacted over a debt you don't owe or where the SOL has expired, you may send them a Cease and Desist letter. Once the SOL has expired, you still owe the money but you can't be sued for it.

Hi
We know that the business of FDCPA laws by a CA results legal action and the consumers can file a class action lawsuit against them.
So what happens when there are shady collection agencies like Allied Interstate Inc still in business? They call people endlessly without any details of the debts and show rudeness. They go against the Mini Miranda disclosure as mentioned in Section 807(11) of the fdcpa. The company is also famous for false representation of the accounts. You can be forced to pay some unknown account because of their wrong contact. Remember, "Allied Interstate" can be sued up to the $1000 depending upon the extent of damages.
I read many of you being victimized by this collection agency. Use the federal laws as a protection against such shady collection activities. Report them to the FTC, BBB as well as the State Attorney General office.
How many of you want Allied Interstate Inc to undergo legal actions. I am thinking of consulting an attorney and put a legal fight against them. I will like all of you to post your experiences here so that it can be documented. After browsing through this forum thoroughly, I picked some threads of their illegitimate business.


  • The illegal activities of Allied Interstate. The poster in this thread said that the company wanted to settle the matter without any documentation. This is illegal.
  • Allied Interstate making threatening calls to the family members. It is illegal as per the FDCPA laws.
  • Here is an example of Allied Interstate not identifying them and making regular calls at work.
  • This collection agency uses profane language and gets in contact with the wrong person.
  • Allied Interstate will try to force you and make a payment on the debt that is past the SOL period. You are under no legal obligation to pay the debt if it is past the SOL period.
  • One more thread about the misdeeds of Allied Interstate Inc.
  • This company does not identify properly while leaving messages on the phone. They keep calling endlessly.
  • Allied Interstate never stops. They contact persons who do not owe any money.
  • Allied Interstate reviews the credit reports without permission.
  • A thread on bombarding phone calls done by this collection agency.
  • Threatening calls starting from early morning and ending just before 9.
  • Allied Interstate harassing whole year
  • Here is the contact address and phone number details of Allied Interstate Inc.
  • Calls get disturbing for someone not related to the accounts.
  • People are getting fed up with allied interstate and their calls. No phone numbers, no e-mails just mailing address but not sure whether it is proper or not. Contacting them is really tough.
  • Confusion is still there on LVNV Funding and Allied Interstate.
  • Allied Interstate Inc not following up with the cease and desist letter.
  • Getting empowered on how to deal with Allied Interstate.
  • Harassment with "person to person"

A new thread on Allied Interstate contacting a wrong person.

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!!

Sub: #23 trying to collect from a sonWed, 10/11/2006 - 11:37


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.

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

Sub: #30 Former Allied Interstate EmployeeTue, 10/24/2006 - 11:43


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.
