Does anyone out there have any information on the above number. The name of the company is Allen, Lewis, & Assoc. I checked out BBB and they have an unsatisfactory record. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

I can't say anything about DIRECT contact with them, but I will be more than happy to share my sarcastic "wisdom":
a) nice website (www.allenlewis.com) I think it was designed by a 10 year old child
b) their contact info on the website is an AOL account. Oh yeah - that SCREAMS quality
c) If you WHOIS their website, you get a completely different address than what is on their high-tech website.
d) plus, the admin contact for the website is a music collector it appears, by the simple fact he also uses a personal email address (Juno this time).
e) and lastly, Bud Hibbs says some none to kind things about them: budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/allen_lewis_associates.htm

Hmmm....that doesn't make them sound too good. I called them back and they are telling me that I have an outstanding account, which I do, but that I can only make a payment with a checking account, which I don't have because that's what got me into this mess!! I tried to send them money, wire them money, even credit card, but they are telling me the checking account is the only way. Plus now I only have until the end of the day to figure something out or my file gets forwarded? Does any of this sound right?

What is the outstanding acct., a payday loan, or what? Don't fall for the checking acct. line...they all want that, or tell you to give them a family member's bank details, etc. DON'T!!
So where are they supposedly "forwarding" your file?

It sounds totally like a scam. Read that Bud Hibbs link about them.
Do you know the original creditor? Contact them directly and work out a deal. I think the ALA company is trying to pull one over on you. Remember - they just want your money, and will lie all they can to get it. Until you have received WRITTEN proof via USPS (not email) of the debt, they cannot touch you in a legal sense.

He told me he has been trying contact me forever, but that's the first that I had heard. And they gave me the whole speal about forwarding my case to the credit bureaus, my employer, etc. The original debt is through Aero Advance, but I can't find any contact info on them?

"Contact forever". Like we all haven't heard that one. If he has your file, I should have your address. It's amazing how many just can't send a single letter. Well - how many of the shady companies.
Aero Advance? You mean them: (www.aeroadvance.com/)

He just got me really scared.

So I should blow this Mr. McVicar off until I get something from the original loan company?

If it was me - I would contact Aero and if ALA calls, let them know I am dealing directly with the original creditor.
