"Interstate Collections" is located somewhere in Jacksonville, Flordia.
Also, the same switchboard operator who use to work for Ted, at Ellis Crosby & Associates, is now working at Interstate.
Weird ain't it?
Phone number: 866-225-4872
Hopefully no one has to deal with them, as many are starting to get threatening calls from them.
It's also possible that they are called something else, but I was told by another forum member that they are "Interstate". Whoever they are, the switchboard operator is definitely the same person who answered "how can I dircect your call" for Ted Crosby.

Contacted my attorney and he clearned up a few things for me on the correct procedure in dealing with any collection agency from any state. He also told me NOT to send them money and when and if the call give he his name and number and have them contact him. Also call the company that I got the payday loan from and told them to remove my account from ISWCB, that they were being investigated and they are a dummy company and that what they told me is not true and that I would be filing complaints with the necessary agencies. So far have not hear from this loan company.

Sounds like you're on the right path. Keep us updated on what is going on. The AG office of FL is working wonders for a lot of people, in hopes of getting these companies shut down for good!

Interstate is one company in WY, and Crosby must be using Galloway? Funny how they're in different states, but using the same techniques.

Not going to happen. I came home and found all of this information...SURPRISE!! I am now on the phone again...Mrs Atler at 866-759-4158...said I found this site and wanted documentation sent to me because I don't believe them....she immediately put me on hold (I think) to speak with someone else. All she did was disconnect me and in a real hurry!!! I called back and asked for the person in charge...the person who answered said it was them...RIGHT! I then told them my name and that if they have a claim against me I want documentation MAILED to me immediately and that until this was done....they were NOT to harrass me. I will let you know if I get something...BUT I DON'T THINK SO. How come I never received anything prior to these calls! They never tell you who is calling (company wise) either. DON'T SEND THEM ANY MONEY....After reading all of these posts...I do believe they are a FAKE!

Welcome to the forums! Luckily you found this forum before making a decision and send them money. Chances are you credit is suffering from this, so you're going to need to make a complaint with the FTC and the AG office of FL. You might want to consider contact the original lender and tell them of the situation and see if you can make payment to them.
Ted Crosby owned the company Ellis Crosby & Associates. Him and his employees would call and threaten arrest if money wasn't sent. This is illegal and SEVERAL people made complaints. During this time he was notified to stop collection and cease contact with anyone while the investigation went on. He failed to do so, and therefore was being taken to court.
He quickly hid his money, and filed bankruptcy, however he still managed to open up at another office with a new name.
Take charge....
