Allied interstate is in violation of the federal laws by being extremely rude in debt collection practices. Besides, they have been reported to the BBB and FTC for many other conduct violations. You must also file your complaints at the local AG's office.
Know if the company is having your account info in legitimate terms. You must ask them to validate the debt and give you a clear picture about the creditor for which they are collecting. They must also clearly specify the principal amount along with the interest charges.
Check the SOL in your state. Unsecured debts go out of the SOL period after 4-5 years based on the date of last payment. If you have not done any payment within this period, you might legally refuse to pay a legitimate account.
Allied tells lies and nothing else! They're not going file jack
Allied tells lies and nothing else! They're not going file jack squat against you because they are a rinky-dink collection agency, not some big government spire, and they don't have the authority. Just tell them to go pound sand and get in touch with the original creditor.
