I have had phone calls from them everyday while I am at work. I seen where several people have said they leave a generic message. They have never left me a message. They call several times a day and its always when I am at work. I have an answering machine. It works just fine but they have never left me a message. Should I call them back or should I just keep ignoring them?

do you owe them money, are they showing on any of your 3 credit reports, and have you received any mail from them?

call your attorney general and teh ftc, they alll know them and they will get what is coming to them

They have been calling me for about six months regarding all different types of debts for people that i dont know. It seems like its always a different name that they inquire about, but it's always on my home phone. I have called them back and repeatedly tell them that i am tired of this harassment and always get the same results. They tell me they will take my number of the list, and then w/in a week or two, I get a call for some other name. Is there any way I can stop this. I have threatned them with authorities, without any results. Problem is, they always call from a number that is not in service, so i dont know how to report this. Please give me any help you my have as to resolve this. thanks Mary

if their number is not in service, how are you calling them back?

I owe money, who doesn't, I was contacted at work and told that I was about to be in wage garnishmnet. She told me that they were going to garnish 25% of every one of my paychecks. She told me I was "one of those people that don't pay their bills." I asked her what I needed to do to keep them from garnishing my wages, and she told me to pay the debt in full. When I told her I didn't have that kind of money. She said, "Well I suggest you find it." She gave me untill 3 days later to call her back with some money. She also told me that the repayment options I had previously negotiated were no longer available to me, and that if I made a payment of $50 that only $1 would go to principle and that I, "would never pay it off." She was deturmined to get money. She contacted my cousin, my mother, my grandparents, and my work. So many Violations. The last time that I talked to them I told them that I no longer wanted to communicate by phone, and would gladly send them a letter requesting written communications only, and they sure changed their tune. This one didn't threaten me, but appologized for the previous case worker. She tried to make it all better, and I gave her a reloadable visa number, to be drafted off of, but quite frankly after this company made angry by bringing me to tears, I am contimplating my legal options. So I guess the big question is "Are They Just Another SCAM?

These people keep calling me and I am getting fed up with this. They dont ask for anyone by name and asked about Nosh Concepcion Sauce, which I have no idea what that is.

I'm only 18, I don't even have debt-much less any CREDIT. This number has yet to actually speak with me, they just call and breathe heavily before hanging up! I thought I was being stalked at first before finding out that the company performs a lot of illegal credit changes! As someone currently working to go to college, I can't afford that kind of harassment! Especially when I have done nothing wrong! I ignore the phone calls now, but I'm still very worried! They call everyday in the morning- it always wakes me up, and this has been going on for over a week now! Please help!

If you have not already done so, pull your free annual credit reports at www.annualcreditreport.com You may not have a file as of yet since you're only 18 but nowadays 18 year olds are finding out that their ID has been stolen years before their 18th b-day. More often than not it's a close relative but there are people that also pay places like Mcdonalds and Taco Bell to look at employment apps and steal SS#'s from them.

I received a letter in the mail from Allied Interstate this afternoon stating that I owed $53.01 for some type of account with UPS (NCO)- LOW VALUE PROJECT. I have no clue what this could be for. I pay all my bills on time and have never missed a payment. I called them and stayed on hold for an hour and was disconnected before I got to speak with anyone. Any suggestions for how to handle this?

It won't help to ignore their calls. I continued to receive calls from them for months. Finally I found their number and called them.
At that time I was trying to clean up my credit report. I owed a small bill to the bank, I sent the bank $20 and when I told AI that, they went nuts and said I needed to pay THEM.
Of course they were rude and nasty with me so I told them I was sending the entire payment to the bank. They told me that I would have to pay a ton of interest if I paid the bank and I told them that I would rather pay interest to the bank than send them one penny.
I did send the full payment to the bank, they did not charge me interest and I have not received another called from AI.

Guest...as with all third part collection, the CA still gets paid even if you send the payment to the OC. They are sent the payments anyway as a pay direct. So you did send them the money...indirectly.

I keep getting letters and calls from them I have called and confirmed I have no accounts with them they said they will remove my name never do they what can i do?

AI does not have my phone #, but somehow they have my family members. they have continued to call them asking for my phone # and no one will give it to them, and have told them on occasion to stop calling and asking. how do i stop them from calling my family members (AND THEY ALL LIVE IN A DIFFERENT STATE THAN ME!!!) :evil:

I also get phone calls for someone that does not live here. How they got my phone number, I have no idea. I have told them repeatedly to remove my number and not call again. I have received 16 calls from them since June 5. Most of the time, they do not leave messages. They called again this morning, asking for the same person. I told them that I was contacting the AG office here in Ohio and they immediately hung up.

I too have been receiving calls from these people for months now. I had told them that i am not the person that they are looking for. They said they would remove my phone number from their list but the calls keep coming. Yesterday I received 4 calls from them between 9:16am and 8:49pm. They left no message and when I called the number (866-526-7795) on my Caller ID it said that this number was not in service. What can I do to stop these annoying calls.
