debt consolidators for Allied Interstate

right now i'm doing credit counceling but my main focus is allied interstate they claim that they don't accept credit counceling and they went on and saying that american express is going to sue me. but i talked to a rep from american express and he was saying that allied should take the payment if they don't he said sue them. and the people that does my credit counceling said that they mainly say that i have to pay in ful cause they get paid off commission so the more money they get the more they get paid so what should i do..

Have you verified that allied interstate is authorized for the collection? It seems from the words of American Express that they have hired AI for collections. First confirm whether your account has been sold off to this CA or they have just been hired for collections. If they have been hired, you can still send your payments to Amex. You don't have to deal with AI if Amex is accepting payments from you.

One more thing comes in my mind is to check the date of last activity on this account. You must make sure whether the SOL is still active. If the statutes have expired, it will remain in your file but you won't be forced legal collections on it. Get the debt validated by AI and check whether all information put in it is correct. Confirm everything before you make any payments to them

i talked to AMEX and they said they forward my file to AI but i got a letter from AMEX saying if i pay them i will be able to get a new optimun credit card from them. i was thinking after all of this i want ever get a credit card again. which my credit counceling is coming from freedompoint. do most CA accept credit counceling even if they say they don't accept..

Consolidation companies can work with collection agencies. This is normal for them. Good counselors know how to make the deal with the CAs. And you will be surprised to find that the CAs who never wanted to work with you will accept payments from the consolidation companies. Actually, most of the times, they find the customer to be an easier catch for them and they don't want to talk with some professionals. But they want to recover the money too.

Amex is making a deal to you. Should I think that they still hold your file and have not sold it off to outside CA. If you can push more, you can actually deal with Amex directly and won't have to work with Allied.
