Oh, thanks so much for that bit of information. That really helps alot. I believe Jacobi & Mayors is in Jacksonville, Florida, the same company I made payments to via Money Gram. I will be going to the post office tomorrow to send my letter via certified and next day delivery to get them to provide additional information on said account. Again, thanks for the information.

anyone happen to have a Money Gram code for Jacobi & Mayors? Just thought I'd ask out of curiosity?

Well, although I was not able to locate the Money Gram receipts, I was able to locate my notes dated April 19, 2005, stating I made the first payment to Ellis Crosby & Associates on April 22, 2005 via Money Gram. I spoke to BMG and was told to deal with them directly, and anything I sent them, they would inform the financial institution in question that they received documentation proving payment on that account in full. They said to deal with them directly, and to not even speak to anyone further from Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau. She said she was going to contact the owner and let them know that I contacted BMG and that I will be sending them fax information stating I paid them. BMG indicated that I could take as much time as I needed to get them the information. So that's a huge load off of my mind.

The same group of collection people is again here with new names. You should be aware enough. So did you pay the loan in full in past or balance is still due?

I recently applied for an apartment and they told me i needed a deposit because i am in collections with allied i called the number 1-888-446-7069 and they told me it was from like 5 years agao a bus violation or something. I never had recieved anything in the mail about this and at that time i was maybe like 16 or 17. I dont have any idea what they are talking about and i didnt know it was legal to send a minor to collections? I did call trans union and dispute it but i don't know what i should do.

Jeramiah, dispute the item with the credit bureau. Also, allied interstate must have sent you the details of the account after hitting your file. If they have done a legitimate reporting, you must receive it in writing. Send a debt validation letter asking for the debt account. I don't think they will be able to give you any accurate information about this account. Even if they give, check the SOL period of your state. Dispute the item with the bureau if it is incorrectly reported in your file.

Is this the same company? They contacted me late on Friday and claimed I owed money for ordering "National Enquirer!" What a laugh. The woman would NOT promise to mail a bill, claiming that three had been sent and that I deserved no further paperwork. I felt very funny about this. She did give me an order number, but no date for the order - except that it was "last year." Do they pull any scams about supposed Publishers' Clearinghouse orders? Thanks!

Lfn, collection agencies try to scam people and make false money. Do not get intimidated by allied interstate. You have the legal rights to ask for a debt validation from them. If the debt appears legitimate, make your payment arrangements. Keep everything documented for proof.

What do you call someone who walks out of a store with merchandise and doesnt pay for it. A thief. You people have all this merchandise for free because you are all dead beats trying to get out of your obligations. Pay your bills and you wont have us calling you. If you answer the phone and id yourself as the wrong party your number will be removed. Stop cryin people and pay your debts. We wouldnt have a job if it wasnt for non paying people like you. Stop trying to weasel your way out of thievery.

Nobody is trying to weasel their way out of anything, pal! In case you didn't pay attention, this website is about money management and debt consolidation which have nothing to do with thievery and being a deadbeat. This particular forum however, is about consumer's rights when it comes to collectors like you who can't even spell fdcpa and don't have the decency to approach every account with an open mind. Didn't ever cross your mind that the reason some people go into debt is because they lose jobs, get sick or injured, or experience any other financial crisis. You have no right to judge anyone here, you do not know anyone here. Go back to your crappy mimimum wage script reading job and stay out of this forum.
