Allied Interstate

Michael of Palisades Park, NJ November 21, 2009

This company is harassing me on my home line and cellular phone. They say I owe Capital One money, and I need to validate my personal information. I stated that I believe this is a scam, and they hang up on me. I called all my credit card companies, and every one of them has a zero balance, and all in good standing. The call me early in the morning, and late at night. The calls are nasty and relentless. They either have the wrong person, or this is a phishing scam. I clearly told them they have the wrong person, but they will not listen.

This is a collection agency that has continually harassed my mother by calling her telephone number several mornings in a row. My mother is a senior citizen who has been suffering from stenosis and she has trouble sleeping. Therefore, phone calls at 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. in the morning have awakened and startled her when she is trying to catch up on her rest.

I called them and told them that this phone number is no longer valid and that I currently have no phone number because I am traveling overseas. In addition, the cell phone number 787- is not my phone number. Please contact them and make sure they do not call these numbers. Thank you so much for your assistance.

With letter of 5/26/09 AlliedInterstate notified me that on behalf of DirecTV they were to collect a disputed amount of 304.14. I informed them in detail that I do not owe any moneys to DirecTV. Instead of replying to my letter, AlliedInterstate sent me a second note dated 6/26/09 threatening to report me to the credit bureaus (TRW/Experian, Equifax and Transunion) if I dont pay within 10 days.

This company was hired to collect a debt which my husband and I incurred. Allied Interstate was hired by Embarq a telephone company located in Cape Coral, Fl. We failed to pay a debt in the amount of 149.00 which I was unaware of. Instead of contacting me directly, they somehow acquired the phone number of my Mother-in-law, who lives in NJ. My Mother-in-law's phone number was never given to this company for any purposes. Allied Interstate subsequently began to harass my Mother-in-law by making repeated phone calls to her.

They would not give her any information as to why they were calling her, and what the purpose of the debt collection was. My Mother-in-law is 78 years old, and should not have been subjected to such harassment, especially when the debt did not pertain to her. I want to know how this company obtained my Mother-in-law's phone number, and why they would take it upon themselves to harass an old lady for a 149.00 debt.

This debt has been paid, and a request was made to Allied Interstate to remove my Mother-in-law as a contact person. Harassment to a person of no connection to a debt request.

Allied Interstate is the collection agency for BMG Music. They have called my daughter several times, she is a minor, about a shipment of CD's that she ordered. The cd's were a free offer with a magazine subscription , all she had to pay was the shipping and handling. We paid that. Now we are tood that we owe over 50 for cd's that were never ordered.

I have asked for a statement and /pr a copy of the letter that they (the collection agency) supposedly sent us but have been told they cannot generate a hard copy for me. If they want my money, they have to provide me with something in return. I was able to speak with a manager, but he was of no help whatsoever. Idid ask them to refrain from calling my daughter on her phone. He did tell me that they would stop.

So far, the collection agency has stopped calling, but I had to discuss this issue with them for over 30 minutes. I can think of better ways to spend my time. It has made both my daughter and myself leary of any free offers anymore.

Company had been calling up to 10X a day for months without saying who/what they were looking for. 'Cease communication' order the FDCPA was sent and received by the company in June 6. 2008 at 9:36 am. I still recieived calls on June 6 in the afternoon and evening and am already geeting calls today, June 7. Under the statue the order is considered in effect irregardless of the person/people making the calls knows or has been forwared the order.

Being disturbed. They have once violated a strict liability statue and I could easily sue for the 1000. I am willing to take 150 as a good will settlement, and am giving the oppurtunity to resolve this before it becomes a legal matter.
