:mad:Allied Interstate Collection collects debts illegally. Apparently, they recently purchased a debt from LVNV Funding that was already paid off over 5 years ago. They tacked on about $400 worth of their own fees to a debt that was already paid. I am now going to write and submit a complaint the BBB, the District Attorney and the FTC for violations against the FDCPA. Then I am sending them a debt validation request and warning them that I have documentation (because I do) and if they try to pursue collection I will sue them and LVNV Funding for illegal debt collection practices. They are in violation of the following items A) they purchased and are trying to collect a debt that is already paid; B) the amount they are trying to collect is incorrect; C) The debt is way over SOL and I could go on, but those are the violations I can think of right off the top of my head! Allied Interstate and LVNV Funding better get their acts together, because if they don't stop their illegal practices on attempting to collect this debt that was already paid I am going to sue for as many violations as possible!!!!!!! And I hope one of their idiot collectors reads this post and comments. I can't wait to tangle with them!!!!! I will take them down!!!!
Allied Interstate Collections also attempts to collect debts that were already paid off years ago. Additionally, they obviously like to attempt to collect debts that are way out of SOL.
Anyone receiving calls from debt collectors for debts not owed by you need to first read this article and then file your complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Why are they allowed to call on Sundays.
Don't know who this company or person is. Comes up unknown on caller id. I have read all the complaints against this so called company and can't understand why they are still allowed to annoy and harass people. To me it seems like a fake company. Why isn't something done about this. If anyone has any suggestions on how to close them down please reply. thank you.
Allied Interstate calls everyday with a recording. You can't call back. when you answer they recording leaves a number before you can even get a pen. [I don't know about you, but how many people answer the phone with a pen in their hand.] We don't ven know what itis abiout or if it is even for us. I'm getting really frustrated with this, that is why I'm trying to find out their number on the commuter. Thanks for this site! Would you know a number to call?

If they call everyday, keep a pen and paper by the phone to write down the number.
You would have to call the number they are calling from...there are too many Allied offices across the US to just give you a number.
