I called the state of Missouri after this company sent my wife a 9K collection letter for taxes from a state we have never lived in. It turns out that Missouri did have a hold not a debt and that AI made up the amounts to try and collect. Missouri wanted to confirm that my wife had a Nursing license from that state but had not practiced there. AI is Dirty...DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO.

This collection company like many others fails to do a simple check of who they are actually calling. Over the last several years I have received many hundreds of calls for others' debts not my own. Their people locating software must be really lame. It seems to search for all phone numbers associated with the address of a debtor. This provides a lot of false hits on apartments like mine. My name/number starts with an "A" and must sort to the top of the list. lame

I have had my phone # for years & I keep getting harassed by these people too. I have 3 young children in school & they call before 8am and after 9pm!!! I know this is agains FCC regulations, plus I am not even close to who they are looking for. I have told them numerous times they have wrong person, but still get threatening, harassing, demanding phone calls! I am SO PISSED!! They wake us up all the time & they have recevied C& D & DO NOT CALL from me. What else can I do? PLEASE HELP!!!

Babycutie, did you send the C&D letter by CMRRR? If so, keep a record of all the calls and contact an attorney and sue them for each violation.

I get collection calls for everyone who has lived in my large apartment complex who DOES have collectors after them. But many (over 10)collection agencies call me wanting to speak with over 100 different people. I tell the collectors calling me to take me off the list & I don't know all these people but Since we all have the same address BUT different apt.numbers, the collection agencies call me again & again asking for different names. I have reported them to the FTC,BBB,Attny.General,Consumer Servives,AND had an attorney write a letter BUT this agency-ALLIED INTERSTATE (877)642-1263 & 866-753-3671 is ONE of the worst & Won't stop calling asking for different people.

Send them a "cease and desist" letter.

Send them a "cease and desist" letter. This should stop the calls.

We just received a call from a man from AI and he was looking for a man with the same name with a student loan, my husband told him he was 69 yrs old and did not have a student loan and the man said sorry to bother you! So I guess they are getting better.

Yep, it happened to me also, they call for my ex husband who hasnt lived here for 3 years, and when i answer they hang up on me! I called back to tell them to quit it and the girl was very rude, telling me, "why would we call if its not the right number?" As if i am a liar! why would they call? BECAUSE THEY ARE IDIOTS who prank call innocent people like adolescents!

ore any money tho he aint living in us anymore just wisiting once in a while but this company harresing his brother all the time and they hardly even has any contact what can we do???

Getting the same calls as many others it sounds like. Calling me and demanding I pay a debt for somebody I have never heard of.

I currently have them on my call rejection list. My next step will be the FTC.

What are we paying this government for. It seems that there is not a prevailing legal authority to stop this criminal harrasment, which is what it is when you get 5 - 10 of these calls a day.

Haven't called be back since initially blocking their number. On a side note, just a few days ago my husband and I received a letter from Equifax dated May 5th stating a fraud alert was placed under both of our names.

I've had a credit report account for a while now and never seen anything wrong or nothing that shouldnt be there. But recently i took a look at my credit report and it said that i had a derogatory account through AI. But i have no idea and what i owe this money too? I know I DONT OWE this money! any ideas to help me with this?...taking a look at what everyone has been saying, i dont want to call them and start having them bugg me and my family.

Ervin, you should send them a DV letter by CMRRR and make them prove the debt is yours and they have a right to collect it. Send it to the address on your credit report. If you're sure the debt isn't yours, you can a include a "cease and desist" statement as well.

About a couple of months back i ordered some books from a very promising book club because it seemed to have good offers. I recieved my books a few weeks later and in a couple of days i made my payments via money order. I was so upset to find out that now AI is charging me via mail for something i already paid for and i still have the stub if i am not mistaken. What should i do?
