Please be aware of Allied Interstate calls- we received many for 2 weeks straight. (their phone number is 888-720-1467)

Finally picked up and they said we owed AOL charges for 6 months (money didn't come out of our checking account)- we haven't used AOL for internet service for over 9 years..... bet they were waiting to see if we gave them our bank info!!

We challenged their fraud and they hung up! Man was rude - sounded like he was from India. Tried calling their number back only to hear recording and no way to leave message! Unbelievable !

I too received a call from them claiming I owed money from 2005 for a wind stream bill and when I told them I've never used wind stream they replied you owe 186 but if you pay 78 today we will take you off the list so I replied why would I pay for something I've never used he told me he would put me down as I disputed this bill and they will send it back to the agency I'm thinking hello it's 2013 and your just now getting around to claiming I owe this said amount of money

i received a letter also, they did not give me whom the credit account i owed 2,000. i called number and told them i did not owe any outstanding debts. and to stop sending me mail. do not give them any info over the phone just your name and account number off their letter. i told them that if this showed up on my credit report, that im contacting all 3 agencies, that it is fraudulent, and hung UP on them. I contacted the BBB submitted and online complaint, and asked them to tell them to CEASE AND DESIST. The BBB took care of it for me. Know your state laws. It takes 2 years from day of last payment for any creditor to sue you for the debt. it then can be sold to any credit collection agency, but do not settle your debt with any agency. Either wait out another 5 years and pull your credit report, it must be voided off your report after 7 years of your last payment. it may show up on your report as different accounts being sold to different collection agencies, but dispute them as one account, and in time it will be voided off your credit report. If you cant settle your account with the creditor directly with a payment arrangement, they cannot continue to add interest and other charges to your account if you are no longer using the credit card etc... to stop the vicious cycle of re aging/or re establishing old debt. follow this.. contact the BBB and file a complaint, if the company(allied) is found guilty of fraud they can shut them down...

So today I received a call from Allied International, claiming that I owed $400 for a Capital One Master Card, they gave me a credit card number phony address then they hung up. I called Capital One and told me they didn't have any records with said card number. I called back Allied and asked them to give more info on the card, date it was open and closed, last place used and were was the $400 charged. They would not give any information on the matter, after several minutes of back and forth, Mr. Koomar said he would remove my number and they would stop all calls. Will see what the future holds.

I got phone call from this number 1 888 3166088 everyday but just got a chance to speak and he says my husband owe internet service since 1982 and the amount is 1,244.17 $ and he wants us make arrangement or make payment. My husband was born in 1978 and this would be impossible to owe since 1982.What kind of business they do???

First, paying daeogrtory items will not improve your score. The damage is already done.You can try to negotiate pay for delete but this really only works with single entry items like cell phone or medical bills. Regularly reported items like credit cards will still show the charge off by the original creditor collection agencies can only remove what they report.Second, be very careful about form letters you find on the net. Many contain really bad information and are often extremely confrontational. They are often amateur legalese' and will really do more harm than good. You will always get better response if you use your own words.Did you make a settlement offer in those letters? I'm not sure where you came up with the '15 business day grace period'. If you made an offer and gave them 15 days to respond, it kinda sounds confrontational to me. Lastly, you should report your father for ID theft. This is a criminal act. It didn't bother him to ***** up your credit while you were fighting in Iraq, why should you worry about him going to jail for his crimes. If you file a police report and notify those creditors of the ID theft, your credit file would be clean.

I was receiving calls on my work phone and cell phone 10 times a day. I was threatened to have checks garnished about 200.00 AND iwas still going to have to pay the 80.00 a month towards my student loans. The girl, Kemi from india is rude and arrogant and had the balls to tell me if I quit they would find me. What can I do in a situation like that???

Don't contact or pay these crooks. I receiver a letter about a debt I do not owe. I will ignore them. I have an unpublished phone number, so they cannot call. If they do manage to get my number, I have number block.

Received a letter from this company today claiming I owe a bill of over $500.00, but that they can settle it for just over $300.00. First, I do not owe this bill, nor will I respond to these crooks regardless of the language in this letter. I have an unpublished phone number; however, if they somehow manage to get my number, it will be to no avail as I have all anonymous numbers blocked on my phone.

Received a call from Allied, asking all the same quesions, my daughter also got a phone call asking for me, I have never used my daughter's telephone numbers on anything.
person I spoke to was Tanya ph. 615 690-1852 (on caller ID, also came up as Business Service)..left a message with my daughter for me to call 1 800 715-0395. Since I would not verify any of her questions, i guess i will be getting more calls.

Have received two calls from this number today alone, probably 6 this week. I don't owe any money to anyone, so I finally wised up and bought a call blocker, best bucks I've ever spent. Was getting 5-10 calls a week from these bottom *** feeders, telemarketers, dead air, robo calls, etc. Now I smile when I look on caller ID, see all the scam numbers and realize I haven't been bugged this week.

We keep receiving on average 2-3 calls per day from Allied Interstate targeting my 93 yr old dad. Told them he has alzheimers and to stop calling. We will not give them any money for a bogus debt! Well, that didn't work. So, who's the 'real' sick-os here?

Another new number 8663103882 - ignorant, arrogant, persistent little buggers. Next time they call, I will use the tactic of being employed as an investigative reporter as someone mentioned previously. And that I will be contacting the legal people to continue the investigation

Just received a call from them today. There new new is 866-425-4574. Guy refused to send me another statement showing that I owed on a account that I closed back in 2009. Saying that it's going to cost them money to send me a letter. I told them I'm not going to give any random person my CC info so they could scam me because they wouldn't send me a official letter stating what they claimed. The guy then said that they sent a letter yesterday and that I should get it any day now. Funny how he didn't say that to being with. BTW he told me that the call center that he is calling from is in New Deli, India. Don't TRUST these people. They will make anything up to get your CC info.

It's a complete scam. I believe an "online pharmacy" company (that I once stupidly used to save a little money)sells them phone numbers. Allied State was harassing me for months. I have excellent credit and have never defaulted on a debt or let bills go unpaid. I began ignoring the calls b/c I knew they were making up the info. I finally answered one day, got a live person, and was prepared to be more aggressive with him than he could possibly be with me - i.e. "You've reached an investigative reporter, I'm aware of your scam, I've reported you to both the New York and California state Attorney General's offices, and I've joined a class action lawsuit." He sarcastically said "Fantastic" and tried to claim it was just a matter of a wrong number. I said "No. You're making up debts. A fantastic day to you," ten times more sarcastically, and I hung up. I haven't received a call since.

They sent a letter trying to collect on a debt i never owed. They send erroneous letters in hopes that people blindly pay.
