They keep calling our main # and asking for people we have never heard of.
When I asked for senior manager they would NOT switch me.
When I asked for their physical address, they would not cooperate and hung up.

Fist call I answered and it was a hang up. Further calls not accepted or calls ome in when this phone is not on me (it's a cell).

Googeld the number and it comes up as Allied-Inerstate. Do not know them or care who they are. Do not have any unpaid debts. I called one number to complain but was given a different number, which I did not call. I do not have the time to mess with these losers.

Debt Collector Will Pay $1.75 Million to Settle FTC Charges
Ignored Consumers’ Disputes Without Checking Its Information for Accuracy

To resolve Federal Trade Commission charges, one of the nation’s largest debt collectors will pay $1.75 million for allegedly making repeated telephone calls to collect from the wrong person, to collect the wrong amount, or both. The settlement is the second largest civil penalty obtained by the FTC in a debt collection case.

“Debt collectors had better make sure their information is accurate, or they could end up paying a big penalty,” said David Vladeck, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “There is no excuse for trying to collect debt from someone if you can’t confirm that they actually owe it.”

According to the FTC’s complaint, between 2006 and at least 2008, Allied Interstate, Inc. continued collection efforts even after consumers told the company they did not owe the debt, without verifying the accuracy of the disputed information. Allied is a Minnesota corporation that works out of offices in the United States, Canada, India, and the Philippines. The company also allegedly made improper harassing phone calls to consumers, using abusive language or calling many times a day for weeks or months, sometimes hanging up when the calls were answered. In addition, the complaint charges that Allied made repeat calls to third parties seeking to locate a consumer, revealed alleged debts to third parties without the consumers’ consent or court permission, and threatened legal action against consumers it did not intend to take. The complaint alleges that these practices violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

In addition to the monetary penalty, the proposed consent decree requires Allied to take specific steps whenever (1) a consumer disputes that he or she owes the debt or the amount of the debt, or (2) a reasonable person would consider the information on which Allied is relying to collect the debt to be implausible, facially unreliable, or missing essential information. In either circumstance, Allied must either close the account and end collection efforts or suspend collection until it has conducted a reasonable investigation and verified that its information about the debt is accurate and complete. If Allied cannot substantiate that the consumer owes the debt, the company cannot sell the debt or provide it to any business other than the client from which it obtained the debt.

The consent decree also bars Allied from:

   * Making false statements to collect a debt or obtain information about a consumer;
   * Making claims that a debt is owed or about the amount without a reasonable basis;
   * Asking a third party for a consumer’s location information more than once without that third party’s consent or a reasonable belief that the person’s earlier response was wrong or incomplete and that the person now has correct location information;
   * Communicating with third parties about a consumer’s debt without the consumer’s consent or court permission;
   * Using obscene or profane language or harassing consumers with repeated phone calls;
   * Making any other false or misleading statement in collecting a debt, including threatening action it does not intend to take; and
   * Violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

The Commission vote to authorize staff to refer the complaint and the consent decree to the Department of Justice for filing was 5-0. The documents were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

This is IQOR or CBCL collection agency. People that don't have a great track
record on the internet. They are the most rude people you will ever have to
deal with in your life. They actually enjoy harassing you very much so. It can be 5-10 years after a debit has been paid and they'll still drive you crazy and give your number to other agencies to continue the harassment
forever. the only way to get them to stop is to get an unlisted phone number. Here are a whole bunch of toll free numbers so you can drive them nuts using a phone booth. Don't use your home or work numbers because the *67 feature (to block your #) does not work for these people. They can still see the number you are calling from. They pay for this blocking to be
overridden. Here are some numbers; 1-877-503-2115, 1-866-294-1752,
1-866-205-3071, 1-800-834-5467, 1-866-277-5467, 1-866-227-5467,
1-866-205-3061, 1-800-811-4214, 1-888-804-8198, 1-800-657-2057.
Did you know that by law they are only aloud to call you every 6 days. They
call sometimes 6 time a day. Not enough people are fighting these pests,
that's why they keep getting away with this crap. Help us all, by giving them a hard time as well!
