Keep getting a phone call from a Bryan.  WE DO NOT OWE this company or whatever it is anything on an apartment from 5 years ago.

Called here looking for some one with my name. Returned call to see if it was the same clowns that sent me a collection notice. Sent a drop dead letter for that. It was the same bunch. When I told him that I had sent them a drop dead letter, he said that didnt matter and he got hot. Then I read him the Letter and he popped a cork threatening my credit and such. These people rank up there with child molesters and animal abusers.

I got a message from this number, someone at ext 760 who was looking for a Keith Shannon. I called back, told them I had no idea who Keith Shannon was and that they have the wrong phone number to call.  She very politely told me that she took my phone number out of their system for Keith Shannon and I would not get any more phone calls.  She did not ask for my name or any further information.

Yeah, it's a collection/harassment agency. The best advice I can give is to not have a personal greeting on your voicemail, never answer calls from unknown or blocked numbers - let them leave a message. Change your number periodically and only give it to loved ones. Tell them not to call you from strange or blocked numbers.

Mr. Jones called my brother looking for me... I called back and he asked for my social security number to pull up some file.  When I asked what the call was about, he practically cursed me out!

Dennis at ext. 754 called looking for a family member that does not live here wanting to leave a message.
Why bother. just another parasite in life.  Remember to SUPPORT ABORTION and maybe even make it mandatory, if you can't feed them clothe them and educate them without public assistance don't make them. They will only end up calling you and bothering you.

Thank you for the information...I just want to tell you do not let them have power over you & steal your Joy..Because God has a Blessing with your name on it..I also got a call from them he left a message his name was Bryan at Ext.755..he also gave me a reference number...Are they really lying to pple..Take Care!!

From Federal Trade Commission Website ? FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
    they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans? Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members? Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

received a phone cal from this number.. a mr.brown left a message stating they were calling about a job reference. company is called Allied company.. They are saying I owe money when I dont..

Wanda called my job and my cell! She said I owed almost $5K in unpaid rent which was BS since I recently moved here from another country and never had an appartment under my name.
She then asked that I verified my SSN and DOB; I was like "NO!".
She was like "we must have gotten the wrong..." I hung up before she could finish.

Wow they called My Old Boss Saying they wanted to hire me for a Job........
In this economy that is SICK...
My Boss emailed me with their number....
I lived at an apartment complex...... long story short The apartment complex let me break my lease.have copies and emails of it.........The manager got fired because I reported her..in retaliation..even though i have documents..........This complex still turned over to collections to these jokers,
I told the allied company this and they did not care, they intend to sue........
they messed with the wrong person!!
I have retained an Attorney and we are waiting for them to file...Soon as they do We are counter suing The Allied Company and AEC REALTY.
AEC Realty will be a Class Action Lawsuit.

I have video taped evidence, pictures voice recordings etc.

Collection/Harassment agency. Block them. Don't talk to them. They lie about anything/say anything to get in contact with people. Don't answer blocked calls. Let people leave a message. Don't put a personal greeting on your voicemail. Let friends and family know not to call you from blocked or strange numbers, and to always leave a message and follow up with a text if they need to get ahold of you, and to call 911 for emergencies. Change your phone number periodically and only give it to those you want to have it.

definately a scam call

Chris called from a local Dallas/FW number.  Left a message, I called back and it seems that the amount I disputed with the complex didn't matter and they sent it to this collection company.  Chris is a DICK!  Called from 972-404-0808 and asked that I return the call to 1-800-491-2580 Ext 758

Recieved a call from Ben,

Saying the same as above. Research on this company proves no results. Probably a sales or scam call.

I received a call from "Allied Company" from a woman named Tracy.  All the message on my phone said was that it was extremely important that I call back immediately.  Absolutely no information was given as to the purpose of the call.

called my daughter's home asking to speak to me. left a name of Mr. Jones, caller id came up Allied Resident. No clue who or what this is. Does anyone know?

Something called ResidentCheck.
