Allied Interstate Reviews

They have written me twice saying they are collecting for an overdue account on eBay. I pay for things as I buy them through Paypal. The username on the account does not match mine. The home address is incorrect. The site is in French. I called eBay and they have no record of the charges. Total scam. If they bug me again, I'll report them to the FBI (http://ic3.gov).

Allied Interstate presents themselves as nice people who want to help you resolve your debt. That's because they get money for resolving your debt. The people you will speak to are uneducated, don't do their jobs well, and are paid too much. I spoke to someone, a manager, who spoke like a teenage hooligan. There was a dispute over my account. I was lead to believe my account was in good standing. Little did I know, my account was no longer in good standing. When I discussed negotiations with someone on how to get my account on the right path, they made it seem like it was okay that my account payments were stopped (it's usually a 6-month payment plan).

Due to a predatory student loan I was forced to let it default to make manageable payment arrangements. After months of non stop phone calls to friends, family, and my employer we entered discussions to make payment arrangements for a settlement of the debt. After speaking to one consultant and not getting anywhere a company manager ** who is no longer employed with the company began calling me. And after a few months we came to terms on a settlement that would be tough financially, but would be manageable monthly. We verbally agreed upon a $1,000 "good faith" payment with 48 equal payments of $334 to be made to settle the debt.

I have been getting robocalls from this collection agency for months, increasing in frequency in the past weeks. Today, I received a bill from them for $891.63 for an alleged charge to eBay. I have shopped on eBay exactly once in my life - for a purchase that cost around $40, which was automatically charged to the credit card registered with my eBay account.

You know I've been getting calls from this company for over a year now. I had a so called subscription to a "readers service" and it got to the point where I couldn't afford to continue to pay it, so I tried to call them and cancel the account. Well the numbers that I called were disconnected or didn't answer. Never got a call back from leaving a message, and no email to get a hold of. I never had enough money in the bank to continue the subscription and you would think they would quit trying to take money, well they didn't. Instead of calling me about the unpayable balance and asking if I wanted to continue, they just added it up to a $1400+ debt. But this never showed up on my credit reports and they keep saying that is cause they've been holding it back. I called BS when they wouldn't let me pay it by money order or cash. They tell me they can only take my credit/debit card number or check number over the phone. That was a big red flag for me.

For several years my household has been receiving phone calls, apparently from collection agencies, in search of some **. No such person resides or resided at the phone number associated with my address. For the past year or so, we started receiving calls from Allied Interstate, LLC, but disregarded them. Infuriated by their incessant calls, on 16 April 2015 I decided to answer. I repeated that no such person lived at this household and that in the past I offered to send a copy of my lease agreement testifying to the fact. I then requested to speak with the supervisor. A person I was transferred to, Mr. **, refused to tell me what the nature of their company was, although by law they're required to inform callers that they're a collection agency. Unsatisfied, I requested to speak with the manager of the Allied Interstate, LLC. His name is Mr. ** and his direct telephone number is **.

After talking to several reps who used poor English and became agitated when I would ask questions about the debt in question. I found out not only did they try to harass me about and collect a debt past the statute of limitations they could not prove that I owed it. Another red flag was when I asked if I could check to make sure I owed the debt then call them back. They told me they don't have a call back number. So I asked "what about the number on my caller id?" I was informed that that's not their number. If you pick up, don't verify any info other than your name. No birthday or last four of social. Remember THEY CALLED YOU. You have the power. If they don't want to talk to you tell them to mail it. There is really no point in trying to block the number. I have blocked 20 of their number and they still call me.

I am disabled and have been receiving disability since about 1996. My income is 850 a month. I had a medical deferment signed by then Doctor. I went on to apply to take online classes. Then out of nowhere comes Allied Interstate. Who has not so much as sent one written piece of correspondence to me before they began garnishing my little Social Security - didn't know what I was talking about. My bank kept giving me the wrong deposit amount. Allied said i had signed a consolidation which I had not. I told them of my illness and of the medical deferment. Have been asking for months for medical papers to them resigned. Haven't received so much a leaflet to this day. They will not give you an address. Had to beg again to even tell me who they are.

I have been receiving calls concerning a debt incurred by a non-relative. I have 4 times gone over the litany of connection with this young man - which seems to have little impact on the agency. Debtor was stepson of husband I divorced 25+ years ago. Ex-husband has been divorced from debtor's mother for over 5 years. I have not seen debtor since he was in elementary school and he is now nearing 40 years old!

I just got a new landline yesterday! I guess whoever had this number before owed something to AIC. I got a call this morning. They can call it all they want. All they are going to get is my fax! I've been reading all of the complaints. Wow! I can't believe they are still in business! I pray all of you people get relief from this ruthless company.

I've been getting calls from this company for a few days. They don't leave a message. When I called back they didn't state the name of the company or give any other information. I spoke with two different representatives and could barely get any information from them. As it turns out, they were calling to collect on student loans for my husband. He had been making payments through another company, who dropped the account and it ended up with this company for whatever reason and we were totally unaware, were not informed by either company.

I received a letter from allied interstate attempting to collect on a delinquent student loan through Sallie Mae. I did in fact have a defaulted student loan through Sallie Mae, mostly due to Sallie Mae's unfair business practices. Allied interstate offered a settlement of a little less than half, so I called and arranged to make a payment. I set it up on a Tuesday to be withdrawn from my checking account the following Monday. I told Joe ** from allied that I would need to visit the bank and transfer funds from my savings to my checking during the interim to make the payment on Monday, and he noted he understood. He called me back on Thursday, 2 days later, stating Sallie Mae was going to withdraw the settlement offer on Friday, and I should pay now or miss the opportunity. I openly informed him that was a ** ploy, however, for the sake of paying off the loan and getting it past me, I set it up and got to the bank to ensure funds would be available. I requested, as before when I originally set this up that I be sent a letter certifying that this payment settled my loan and that I was paid in full. The payment went through on Friday. This was on the 13th of October. I never received such a letter.

I don't know who you are, what you want, what you claim we owe. You wouldn't tell me when asked. You deflected, dodged, bobbed and weaved when put on the spot, instead you asked for information. You wouldn't even tell me what your company does ... I had to Google you ... and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. Go away. I've never had a debt.

Offered a settlement on a loan I consigned for. Asked for terms to be put in writing. When I got the terms, the terms did not reflect a settlement at 40% as offered. The amount being paid was only to cure the default not a settlement. False rep by carter.

I have been paying $600/month for 7 years! Just like clock work, regardless. I own that I defaulted and there should be some type of penalty for my actions. However, after 7 years and $50,400 on an original debt of $17,000, I'm pretty sure we're square. When I call, they want me to pay an additional $150/mo for 9 months. Well by then I should be done, but I know I won't be because my balance always seems to be the same. I'm now on the phone with the Dept of Ed and they've been no help. Jeez, I think I've paid my debt.

On two Occasions, this company's personnel called asking for Kimberly **. I told them there was no one here by that name. After talking to Representative Adi ** and his manager, Ahmad **, they said they would correct their records and not call back. Note: it was very difficult understanding these two people. I told them I was recording the conversation both calls. A week later, they called again asking for Kimberly **. This time a Amet ** called. I spoke to him and his manager, Naavneet **. Again I had a hard time understanding them. I explained this was harassment. They said it was their job. Again they say they won't call back.

I called to try and square my debt up. Carter ** is who I talked to. He is completely unprofessional. The point is to try and get me to start making payments correct? Not judge me on why I haven't been making payments. There are many reasons as to why. What college grad can make an $800 payment right out of college? Rent, etc. Well I did for the first two years and then lost my job when all hell broke loose in the economy. Started working at Starbucks until I could get a job in my field. He of course has judged me on being a low rate ** who is ripping on the private loan institution. Right dude, that's what I was doing.

I got a report to my credit negative after I pay them.

Allied Interstate has been calling us for months. We told them many times that we are not the person they are trying to contact and don't know that person but they keep calling every day. Just want them to stop calling.

I keep getting robocalls on my answering machine, while I'm at work, from Allied Interstate LLC regarding a delinquent bill. I have no delinquent bills. They leave a number that cuts off before the last digit. I found the last digit online. This is pure harassment. I will attempt to contact governing agencies that will help me stop these calls. Perhaps BBB, FTC, others? The text of the message: "Hello, I am calling from Allied Interstate LLC, a collection agency that is attempting to collect a debt and any information that we obtain will be used for that purpose. Please call us at 1-800-258-8074."

This guy calls me Dec. 2, 20013 about an unpaid Sprint bill from 1997. This bill was written off 12 year ago. In most states, once a consumer bill had gone uncollected or challenged for a set number of years, it can be forcibly collected on in court. After 7, it must to be taken off your credit report if you submit written request. This bill was taken off my credit 12 years ago and they think they have a right to even ask me about this... What idiots.

I don't understand why they cannot take e-checks??? There is a limit on my debt card set by Visa and we couldn't get the payment they wanted to go through. They increased our settlement bc our limit prevented us from paying them. And they couldn't take a check over the phone... then to overnight them a check is not guaranteed and it’s complicated. Big HUGE pain in the **. The guy that we talked to was nice, but I don't know what to do when our bank only gives us a 30 minute window to pay a large amount like that and they can't take the damn money right away. They suggested to get the bank to take off the limit. We should threaten to leave. I'm not going to do that!!!! If they want their damn money, they should make it easier to pay... like ONLINE!!!!!

Each day mostly between 10:00 a.m. & 11:00 a.m. EDT, I receive a call from this company. I've tried blocking them via my telephone company and they still get through. I have no reason for them to call me and I am on the FTC Do Not Call list.

Keep getting Robo calls from these people from 830 AM up to 6 PM most days. We have no Delinquent obligations and perfect credit. Tried to call the number and only get a busy signal. Want it to stop, but can't seem to get them to.

They called at 8:17 AM. I answered and they hung up on me without saying a word. I called them back. I demanded to know who they were and what they wanted. They asked for my husband I told them, "I am his wife," and reiterated my demand to know what they wanted. They wanted me to confirm our address, I responded with, "Talk to our lawyer and do not call here again." We had gone through bankruptcy early last month. Their calls stopped shortly following the court date, and now have started up again. Do the laws no longer apply to these bill collectors? Will they be satisfied when they have put my husband or me in the ground?

They call random numbers at a federal government agency asking for "employment verification." It's elusive and unprofessional sounding. It turns out they're a collection agency. We asked them not to call again.

Every day, at precisely 8:30 am, I get a robocall from Allied Interstate LLC regarding a delinquent bill. I have no delinquent bills. They leave a number that cuts off before the last digit. I looked them up online and found a site where I could leave them a message that I am the wrong person and to stop calling. So far, it hasn't worked.

I don't know how Allied Interstate LLC got my phone number. They have called me asking for somebody else. I told them I don't know who that person is, but they kept calling.

This company sent my elderly parents a letter indicating that they had outstanding debt which they were asked to collect on. They offered them a "deal" to reduce the alleged amount owed by 50% if they paid within 30 days. They had no idea what this was for but were afraid not to pay it, so they sent a check for $237.78 which was the reduced amount requested. I monitor their bank accounts and noticed this check had cleared and when I investigated, I found out that this is a scam! Why is this company still allowed to continue these fraudulent business practices, when there have been so many complaints filed against them? When is the FTC or Consumer Affairs going to do something about this???? My parents are elderly and live on a low fixed income. They cannot afford to be victims of these scams. What can I do to help them recover this money, if anything and if nothing else at least try to stop these companies from continuing to do business?

We receive calls from this company from 4 to 5 times a day, even on weekends. They don't leave a message, but just constantly call. I've complained to the FTC about them along with Asset Acceptance. There should be limit to how many times you can call a residence. People have the right to not answer their phone when you call. That's why they have caller ID. I'm considering sending both companies a registered letter informing them not to call our residence any more.
