try a google search for your state for all those addresses.

OK first I have been in debt settlement industry for over 15 years, so this info is reliable and "I" use it daily. send Allied Interstate a certified letter, return receipt, demanding that they VALIDATE the debt with something that HAS YOUR SIGNATURE on it. You see they CANT. They buy the debt from a wholesale providor, and its against the FDCPA for them to transfer any of the Original Documents. However without the Original Docs, or certified copies of such, they can not legally collect that debt. When you write them the letter, give them 30 days from signed receipt of the letter to provide to you in writing validation of the "ORIGINAL" debt. Now here is where they will get tricky... they will send you paperwork for sure, but I can guarrantee that is will NOT be original paperwork but likely something they "cooked" up in house to send to you. Once you have NOT received your Original validation, Contact ALL of your credit bureaus, send them a copy of the certified letter, and copies of the return receipt. Demand that they validate the debt or remove it from your credit report. ALSO let them know that if this debt is lsited again You will sue them for falsifying your credit report. According to the FDCPA, you can get $1000.00 per occurance, per account, per reporting agency for each time a falsely listed account is put on YOUR credit report. DONT BACK DOWN, Allied interstate is one of the WORST Bottom feeders. Here is a little tidbit of Info for you... for every $1000.00 in debt that Allied interstate buys, they spend $8.37. Then they add on fees, and charges and want to "settle" with you for a whopping 50-80% of the ballance... Keep in mind they ONLY spent $8.37 per thousand. Kinda makes you go.... Yuuuuuuck......

Allied also does a lot of third party collections...they are a federal contractor for the USDOE and several state agencies.

That's incorrect. It would be under the FCRA @ $2500 (soon to be $3500) per violation, per CRA reported too. FDCPA violations are $1000 per action.

i actually work for allied and there mailing address is 3000 corporate exchange dr , columbus oh 43236

These clowns call my phone everyday for a mythical "Janet".. no last name ever given. I don't know any Janet. They, of course, refuse to take my number off their list. But instead of getting angry, I just find a new way to irritate their staff... try it out.. .it's fun! Ask them on dates! Call them a tough guy! Break out your Jerky Boys tapes and play different characters. I now look forward to their calls.

Life is too short not to have a laugh at the expense of these circus folk.

Send them a letter stating that any further calls to your cell phone will result in their being sued under the TCPA for $500 per call.

These people call me all day long. If I don't answer, there is no message left. If I answer, they call is a hang up.
What can I do? It's driving me crazy.
They're not collecting from me --- I don't owe anyone anything. Besides, since they won't talk and don't leave a message, how would I know why they were calling in the first place?

I had a call from them and had a human guy I spoke with. My cell phone said the number was out of Kentucky. The number on my phone is502-565-1198. I hope this helps any.

i dnt get it, i js turned 19 wat do they want from me?

A human guy? Are you sure?

Send them a Debt Validation letter, Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested (costs about $3). The address will be on your dunning letter. They have to send you that letter within 5 days after 1st contact. If you don't have the letter, don't talk to them, except to say "I'll call you after I receive the legally required letter" and hang up. No letter? Assume it's a scam and file a complaint with the FCC.

I have gotten a call every day for the past 2 weeks on my answering machine. I only get part of the message so I never bothered calling the toll free number. Today I decided to google AI that appears on my caller ID. I have no outstanding debt so why are they bothering me? So if I call this toll free number, it will do me no good since it can't be me and the only way to get rid of them is to pay thru the nose and get a lawyer? There is something really wrong with this...

Get their address and send a cease and desist.

allied interstate has called me four times today... all with in an hour of each other I was at work at couldnt answer, they never left me a voice mail I only knew who it was by looking up the number on google...
