Allied interstate have stopped asking for various people and now they just leave the name of their company on my phone or when I pick up the phone. I supposed their people got tired of me telling them off. Anyway, I appreciate the information.

It is a sad day when we are held captive in our own homes.

I have received a few calls from these people and each time I said hello, they hung up. I just called the number back. They are looking for a distance relative that I believe is dead. It is a collection. I told them nothing, let them hunt him to his grave

I just got a new unlisted phone number two weeks ago. The very next day I began to get calls from Allied. I owe no one, have never done business with these people and am plagued by their calls constantly. I called the 800 number they gave me and told them to stop with these calls or I would report them since I am on the Do Not Call Registry.

What a pain in the A** they are.

The Do Not Call list does not apply to collection agencies.

They started calling my number asking for someone I never even heard of. After several days of asking them to stop calling I told them they would receive 100 calls for every time they continued to call me. I did that for a couple of days. Calling and hanging up or waiting for them to hang up 100 times for every time they called me after I asked them to stop. Within a couple days I didn't get any more calls. If everyone did this it might really get them to reconsider their tactics as their costs would rise.

i am from Canada.....and for some reason they started calling my cell#. I have no reason for them to do so. I even checked my credit report to make sure i'm in good standing. But I get only recordings from Allied....and today they are already up to calling me 4 times and its only the middle of the day!!!

Since they have been calling my cellphone looking for someone I do not know, I am reluctant to write a cease and desist letter because I would have to include my own personal details that I do not want to divulge to an unscrupulous company like allied. Each time they call, I tell them to take my number off since they obviously have the wrong number. They assure me every time that they noted the account and the number will be removed. But lo and behold, the next time they call, I inform them the steps I've taken to get this number removed and the caller tells me that no one from his company has ever called me before, or no one by that name has ever worked there before when I furnish a name of the caller.
If they are recording calls, they don't state that at the beginning of the call. Isn't that against the law?

To the person above: I had the same situation. I sent a "cease communication with phone number "***-***-****". I did not give my name out--post office said that confirmation mail needed a return address only (which I put on the envelope) but I guess you could put the collector's address on it. They never called again & no letters at all (which I could have returned since they'd be for someone else).

Regrettably, these collection firms will eventually sell the debt to another collection firm and the harrassing will begin anew. Only a written letter sent certified mail, return receipt requested, has any possibility of stopping the phone calls. I have a standard letter I send every time and it is the only solution. In every case they ceased contacting me.
I am glad Allied was just find 1.75 million by the FTC.

This company has been calling me non-stop. 2 days ago, I received 12 calls from them and that did it. I called them back, got someone from India and asked why she is calling me non-stop. She proceeded to tell me that she was looking for so and so. Well, that person is not me and I don't know who it is. I explained that to her and she again asked for so and so. By this time, I was ticked off. I told her that she is to remove my number from the list NOW and that this was a C&D order. She proceeded to babble. I cut her off and told her that if I got one more harrassing phone call from them, that I was reporting them to the FTC.
She hung up on me and I haven't heard from them since. Ah...silence is golden.

That information does not slow them down a stroke. "Allied Interstate Collections call here as many as seven times a day (that's the current record). Sometimes the calls are taped messages asking me to call a certain number. Sometimes they are another taped voice saying, "Please hold". And sometimes it is actually a human. I never give them anything anymore, and I bombard them with demands to know who I'm speaking to and the city and state from which they are calling. The last caller, one Vanessa Quinn, said she could not give me address information "because {the person sought} has not given permission". If anyone happens to have the various address of Allied Interstate, I surely would like to have them. Then and only then, can I send registered mail and have it count for something.
Kimmel&Silverman are on the web go on their site and believe me they will settle Allied Insterstate Down..We also were granted $ 500.00 in damages they caused us for harrasement that is; plus they had to pay attorneys. You never pay the attorney`s the Allied Interstate does..They will help you with any collection that are bothering you...I know because they did it for us..Look them up on the web. Fill out form and they will call you.....

ALLIED INTERSTATE has been calling 10 to 15 times for about a month now. I need to now 2 things, how long is statute of limitations, and if nothing is reporting on my credit report does that mean the SOL has expired. I've been afraid to contact and start the harassment process in fear of some SOL loophole. Debt came of my report in Sept. use to get a call once in awhile from another collector (Asset Acceptance) then it came off my credit report and I now get harassed constantly....... I have to make it stop!

The statute of limitations (SOL) will vary from state to state. You will have to check out your state laws and get to know whether or not the SOL expired. If the SOL period has expired, then the collection agency won't be able to take any legal actions against you. As per the FDCPA laws, your collection agency will not be able to harass you for your debts. If they are doing so, then you can sue them. Contact an attorney and he will be able to help you in this matter.

Just because the SOL has expired does NOT mean that the CA's cannot call. You still owe the debt.....however legal action cannot be taken or if it is taken, you have a defense. Unless you send them a FOAD letter telling them to bug off and not to call you again, they can continue to call.

If you've received calls on your cellular/mobile device from Allied Interstate for debts/bills you do not owe, please call The Mathews Law Group at 626.683.8291. You're entitled to compensation under federal law and there is no cost to you.

don't bother with the BBB. That organization doesn't do anything. file a formal complaint on the FTC website.
