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"

Sub: #281 Allied Interstate Collection uses illegal collection tacticsTue, 12/22/2009 - 08:03


: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.

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.
