PROBLEM SOLVED.
Caller: Allied Interstate.
Call Type: Debt Collector

Allied Interstate has been discussed with my Attorney.  We are gathering evidence of violations of the FDCPA and hopefully will be able to take legal action!!!

Debt Collectors ? Collection Agency's - Allied Interstate do NOT fall under Do NOT Call registry, as they are not telemarketers.  However, they do constantly violate other Federal Laws, because us American's don't know the laws to protect us.  They are counting on that.  

- Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that.   This includes Attorney's in state's other than your state of residence.  The only Attorney's that can sue you, have to be licensed in your resident state.

A word of caution:  Some Law Firms do have Firms in other states, and Lawyers licensed in other states, so you have to do a little research before sending a Cease & Desist (Do Not Call & Go Away letter) to make sure they aren't in your resident state or you're likely to get sued by these #%#&*@!#%&@$^*.  

Once a debt collector makes contact with you, they also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt.  You are not required to ask for it.   They never do this!!!!

This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act.  You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.

Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar.  Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!!  You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency.  Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.

Do NOT agree to any payment arrangements, or you'll be creating an agreement/contract, where upon initial contact by the Debt Collector, one didn't exist.  The collection agencies are counting on you not knowing this little bit of information.  

The best advice I can give you is, do NOT talk to these idiots - they will leave you in a frustrated heap on the floor.  They lie, and will tell you whatever they need, in order to get you to commit to paying them.

The lies are illegal, but they honestly don't care, they're probably on commission for how much they collect from you and others like you.  

If you do answer the phone, do NOT give out your employer, social security #, DL #, Credit Card and/or Bank information, or any personal information.  Tell them to send you a written statement & you'll respond. Then hang up.  When you get that statement, google, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you'll probably find a letter you can send them   Or:  send the letter I?ve enclosed that I use.  Sign and mail that letter Certified Mail, so you have a signature and confirmation of delivery!!!

Dear  :

I am in receipt of your demand for payment.  However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted again by you, and that you are hereby put on Notice to Cease Communication pursuant to 15 USC Section 1692c(c).  Failure to comply with said Notice shall result in a complaint filed and submitted to, the Federal Trade Commission, and possible legal remedies in an appropriate United States District Court.

Your representatives have been trying to contact me,   I am requesting again that you cease and desist from contacting me.  Please remove the phone numbers XXX-XXX-XXXX .  The calls constitute harassment at this point, which is causing a major disruption in both my business and personal life as well as being an invasion of my privacy, which I will not tolerate.

If you continue to contact me, I will file a complaint with the Attorney General.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, which branched from United States Code Title 47 sect 227, implemented a do-not-call list from solicitors, which mandates a solicitor to abate phone calls to customers who have requested in writing to cease all phone communication.  Please comply with federal law or a complaint will be filed.

In addition, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, I am not waiving my right to dispute the alleged debt asserted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation to respond.  

Sincerely,



Your Name

In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties.  Google Law of Novation and read up!!!

No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer.  I have spent the past 2 years studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  

I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away.  I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law;  I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.

Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining/highlighting them.  Not to mention the knowledge I have gained on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.

I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations.  Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.

I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence.  I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time.  And our Judge's let them get away with it.

And for those of you who say pay up and quit being a deadbeat; it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4.  

And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job.  And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by.  And when that happens, then what?  

Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad.  Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.

What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with?  We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do.  I hope someday, something throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.

Oh, we've struggled.  And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced.  We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations.  I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least.  My husband started his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.

People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.  Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!  

Again I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences.  There are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your circumstances.  I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am again just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help.  If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.

Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.

Thanks to this service, I was able to identify the caller, Allied Interstate.  When the next call came, I told the caller that the person whom they were trying to reach had not had this number for over 15 months,that this phone number was on the "Do not call" federal registry,  that I was keeping a log of the number of times they called, and that I planned to report them. That got an apology and a response to take MY telephone number off of their automated service. I did report them- with the Better Business Bureau, thanks again to a posting on this website.  The primary location for Allied Interstate is actually cov ered by the following BBB:

Called my home 3 times looking for my dead beat father in law.  When I told them to stop calling and harrassing my kids or I would call the police the guy got defensive and rude.  Who are these people????

I get numerous calls from these people on a daily basis.  I do not have any outstanding debt.  I do have an ex husband who does.  I do not answer any of these clls and am on the National DO NOT CALL List, however, I continue to be harrassed about debt that does not belong to me.  It is very annoying.

Didn't leave a message.

they never leave a name of who the debt is for and they say thier office hours are m-sat.

they call us every 5 minutes and it pisses me off

Just received a call on my cell number from someone named "Jack" who asked for my husband by his legal name saying it was important.  When I identified myself as the wife and asked what this call was about, it got very suspicious.  These people called my personal non-shared private cell number, then suddenly a woman took over the call and said, "It was a private business matter, and she need the last 4 digits of his social security number."  When I demanded to know who Allied Interstate is and what is this call about, they became aggressive and cited verbally our old street address, City, State and Zip Code.  However, I handed my husband my cell and they tried to be pushy with him wanting his social and saying he was interfering with a federal agency, he hung up on them.  However, I immediately Google the phone number that populated on my cell  and this website  appeared.  By the sound of it, this is some type of scam; don't answer any of their questions.  Report them on this website and to the police.

This company is bother me for the last 3 week please help.

I received a call from this # and the woman was extremely rude.  She asked to speak to someone who I have never heard of.  when I asked her who was calling and told her she had the wrong number she wanted to know "why did I ask her all those questions instead of just saying she had the wrong number."
Wow, what a miserable wretch!!!!!!

This number calls multiple times a day even in the middle of the night.  They are calling my pay as you go phone so its costing me.  I tried answereing but they told me they were looking for someone of a different name.  I told them to stop calling no one here by that name....but they keep calling.

This phone # has been calling me for the past month & a half
and lately every day for the past 2 weeks between 8am-9am pacific standard time
what the hell???

leaves no message

how do I block this #?
and how do I file a complaint against these losers?

Happens multiple times a day. No one speak speak at all.

I keep getting calls on my cell phone from them at early hours of the day. I want them to stop calling my cell phone now! They dont leave a message

get message saying to call 1-800-806-3342. why they calling me? I don't have any debts!!

They keep calling my FAX MACHINE, WHAT A BUNCH OF MAROONS!!!!!!!

They keep calling me and leave no message , when you call the number back you dont even receive name of company and are placed on hold til a representative is available.

Calls almost every day and all times of the day and night.  No message, but I have it blocked now.  I have never answered it.

They used to bother me at 7:30 AM everyweek for 3 months until one day I got an actual person looking for some one that didn't live at the residence. Lucky me they haven't called me back since but it helps I threatened to take legal action.

They called and ask for a relative of my husbands.  I said they are not at this number and asked what it was about.  They said a personal, business matter and to let them know they had called.  They said the person they called for knew their number and to just tell them to call Allied Interstate.

This was from the 775-319-1506 number.

Rec'd call and no answer when ask who is this.Hang up

yea same deal - i have no debt but the calls and no messages keep coming.  I answer and no one is on the line.  i am trying to block the # thru verizon

i have missed a call from this number 2 times this week and i just answered the 3rd call.  all i got was some kind of weird quick recording that said "i love you i love you,"  it was VERY weird.

I started receiving calls from this number almost every day and often more that once a day for the past 3 months.  They NEVER leave a message. I would return their call if they would leave a message with some information as to what it's in regards to.  But apparently they don't know how to leave a message.

They Call @ least 10 times a week! i think I will file a complaint as well

I really don't know who it is, but they wont stop calling mr. They have called me nine time's in the last week. I don't know what too do. All I know is I really want it too stop now. They keep calling my cell, and I texted the number one time and they didn't text me ever back. I answerd one time and then they hung up on me. At first I thought one of my friends maby got a new number, and then I relized it wasn't one of them at all..

This # 775 319 1506 is calling at 7 am and not leaving a msg...They have been calling for months...I have turned them in several times...Good idea to turn them in to the BBB. I am on the DNC and they are harassing me like crazy...

Unbelievable.  After almost a year I rec'd yet another call from these people asking for the same roommate they asked for last year.  They actually tried to explain to me that the roommate recently gave them this number which is impossible because I haven't lived with this person for over 7 years and I don't think he eve has our new number.

I spoke to a supervisor who once again told me that she will be removing my number from the account and that this will take place within 72 hours.  She has asked that I do not post her name or direct line and I will respect that but I did tell her that I was not the only one who was getting harrassing phone calls from them and that she should take a look at 800 notes when she gets home this evening.
