Transfering Am Ex Delinq Amt to SEARS?

First of all, allied interstate is a collection agency. If you put the name in the search box at the left corner of the site, you'll come across many discussions involving this agency. You can read through few of them to learn more about the people you are dealing with.

However, don't agree for any such scheme before you receive the proper debt validation form them. Send them the DV letter and wait for their response.

When I request the letter should I also request that the acct be shown up to date? Or will the acct still show that it is sent to collections even though I have come up with an agreement.

Also - do I have a choice in collection agencies? In other words - I see all of the negative comments about Allied but what choice do I have? Doesn't AmEx direct who collects their accts?

Thank you in advance for your reply

thats a new one to me.first someone should be along to give an address for allied,they have several addresses.second,contact the original creditor.chances are allied just phished your info,i wouldn't trust them if my life depended on it.
what state are you in?

I am in Michigan....Just to clarify - Unfortunately I DO have an AMEX that is in default - and has gone to collections...so I believe that AmcnEx did send this to Allied

i would still inform the OC.allied acts illegaly no matter if the debt is legit or not.

When I call AMEX they tell me that they cannot discuss this account since it has been sent to a collection agency.

Can somone tell me please, if it is possible to switch collection agencies?

sorry,but if allied can't properly validate,they should cease collections.then they would sell the debt to someone else,that's the only way.

Ok, so call me really confused...but is it really a Validation Letter that I should be sending to this company?

I already received a letter from them stating that Amex has turned my acct to them.

Shouldn't I be sending them a letter asking them to clarify an agreement, if any, that Allied & I come up with?

send it to allied interstate.they have several addresses.PM cannr or goudah,they should have the closest to you.sometimes allied will bump up an amount owed.as i said i don't trust them at all.
