ai payments

Do you mean AIP? It is illegal to make a person pay by giving out account info. They have to, and most likely will, accept payment by money order or cashiers check. If it's AIP, do a search and you will find their address posted.

it is allied interstate

Welcome to the Forums :D Here is just one thread on allied interstate at http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/about2486.html read through the posts to get more info on them. Never give your bank account info to any collector, they can clean you out. Also, don't send them a personal check,for the same reason-money order or cashiers check. If you have any questions, feel free to ask..KAren

they told me i could not pay by mail. and i would like to know if that is true.

i posted the message above but it did not put my name so it is on the same topic

Send your payment to the collection agency's mailing address. They will have to post it to your account after receiving money. If they don't update, let your attorney general know about this thing. They will do the investigations on them.

Isn't it illegal to make someone pay that is going to cost them money? I.E. by western union or other money order?
