Hi, welcome to the forums.
To start with, send them a debt validation letter. This will aske them to provide proof of the claim.

I ask them for verifcatiion of the bill he said he didnt have to send me one and that i owed the bill and i needed to pay ..
And you tell him that HE has to send you a DV letter. It is your
And you tell him that HE has to send you a DV letter. It is your right, by law to get it. If he gets nasty (as he will), just tell him that he has just lost his client some $$$ because of his a***ole attitude. Hang up on him. If he wants to collect, he gives you the info.

Send 2 seperate letters, reciept return, demanding debt validation, and that all further communication be done by mail. There is a difference between asking/telling them over the phone and sending a letter.

If it is a legitimate debt, they can attempt to collect it forever. The SOL means they cannot sue you for it. You stated it is not on your credit report, so I assume that it is over seven years old. If that is the case, you can send a cease and desist letter (no further communications). Only do this if you are absolutely sure the SOL is expired (CND letters on unexpired debts get the debtor sued very quickly). What state are you in?

You can file a complaint with the state agency that regulates collectors, the BBB, and perhaps look for an attorney that would take the CA to court for this.

I agree with everything that everyone else has said, and I would also add that you should definitely continue with what you're doing about learning the laws. allied interstate will break the law in dealing with you -- in fact, they already have, by refusing to validate -- so you need to know your rights.
I would disagree with Morningstar about the frequency of lawsuits in response to CNDs. In my experience and from everything I've seen, that's actually a pretty rare response to a CND. That's a separate issue, though.
I only meant a full CND, not a cease verbal communications. A CA
I only meant a full CND, not a cease verbal communications. A CA can and often does, interpret a full CND as a refusal to pay. Then, the only way they can collect is through litigation.
Edit: dp is right-kudos to you for really brushing up on the appropriate laws. If only more people would do so.
