WHo is this who is calling me a few times?

These guys always s**** with repeated and non stop phone calls. This will go on for 4-6 weeks. I just read where they have several offices throughout the US, Dallas, Ne***ska, New York, Washington DC, Chicago etc. They do have a website, Allied International Collection Agencylinksnotallowed. I don't think they're the same as Allied Interstate Collection Agency, but until I receive their bill, I won't know. In my letter sample below, I used the Ne***ska address. Your demand letter/statement will probably come from the Dallas, Ne***ska or Chicago office. I don't know, they just s****ed calling me today. Please continue reading for a sample letter you can type and send them!!! Debt Collectors – Collection Agency's 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 **** 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!!! Allied International Collection Agency 440 RegencyParkway, Suite 134 • Omaha, Ne***ska 68114 Phone: 402.393.3477 • 800.456.5770 Fax: 402.393.3541 • 800-489-4892 E-mail: info@andclinksnotallowed Date: RE Account # Amount in Dispute: $ Account # Dear : I am in receipt of your demand for payment. However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted a***n 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 a***n that you cease and desist from contacting me. Please remove the phone numbers *******-**** . The calls cons***ute 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 ***nched from United States Code ***le 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****erted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation to respond. Sincerely, Your Name Address City, state Zip Certified Mail#: 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 ***ned 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, so****ing 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 s****ed 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!!! A***n 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 cir***stances. 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 a***n 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. © rcmeek copyright 2009 All rights reserved

Allied interstate student loan collectionthis number use to haunt me.... THose guys are NASTY! REAL NASTY!I use to get calls from them (They Collect on Federal Student Loans)"This is an attempt to collect a debt" Blah blah blahThey threatened to garnishment my wagesThey Told me that I needed to make a HUGE down payment... (800 BUCKS! ***)OH YEAH I DID MY RESEARCH ALRIGHT!I fixed my credit, stopped the garnishment process, got my collection fees waived,and went back to school :)))))I LOVE THE INTERNET...I bought some book called "The Student Loan Blue print"Guess what my minimum monthly payments ended up being??? 55 bucks pshhhhhhhhThey told me i had to pay 200 bucks a month... LIARS!!If you have a Fed. Student Loan in default I Would Urge you to check out this website...This is not some spam ****... They saved my tail !!!!!

I also got a call from this same #2532183451! Normaly i dont pick up a ph.# i dont know, i have a distant relative near that area so i took a chance? Duh! Same Alied Interstate, & a recording ripped off a Ph.# to call, she must` be a s***d talker. or taker, as i`d have loved to retrieved that #! I`ll try blocking them but they may have more lines than, i have blocks? lol These ppl are a sad lot, i`d rather starve than do that for a "living"!

call constant do not leave message search number look internet looks like debt collector had similar problem while back always asked for names not know to me sent registered lettered demanding stop contact and to contact who ever gave them information or legal remedy will be sought! you can sue after they receive this certified letter!

Asked for boyfriend's ex-wife, which remarried, has different last name & doesn't live here, hasn't lived here in over 7 years, I guess his ex-wife, remarried is running up some bad debt, can't get off of the list, they don't conply.

Caller continues to call me looking for someone else. I have spoken with the caller three times and asked them to cease calling my number but they continue to call my cell phone number 3-5 times a day.

Caller asked for my ex-wife who has never used this number or lived my state (divorced for 25 years). They keep calling over and over a***n and never identify themselves. Presumably it's a bill collector.

Have received 5 phone calls from 253-218-3451.  These calls are becoming annoying.  I am supposed to be on the do not call list but I guess that doesn't work.  Anyone know how to stop these people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CONTINUE TO GET CALLS FROM THIS AUTO DIALER, DEBT COLLECTOR. THEY CONTINUE TO CALL EVEN AFTER I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT THE PERSON OR PERSON'S THEY'RE TRYING TO REACH DON'T HAVE MY NUMBER.

This number displays on my phone, when I try to call it back it goes to a generic voice automated staement saying the number id disconnected or no longer in service.

These calls are really becoming annoying, tried to call them back and it says were sorry your number cannot be completed as dialed please check the number you have dialed.

Keeps calling the house at all times of the day. NO one on the line when I answer.

Called at 7 AM ***g up before I could answer. Am on do not call list for telemarketers

Keeps calling early! No message, can't call back.

calling ****ing up

http://www.studentloanfundamentals.com

I keep getting calls from this number too. Unknown Caller from this number. Never leaves a message on my answering ma****e. When my answering ma****e comes on and says to leave a message, it/they **** up. It's probably a computer. On another site, one person said they called the police about this, and the police said it was a known scam to get your social security card number by claiming you owned money to a company and they where a debut collection agency. I never pick up, for any calls that I don't recognize and if they won't leave a message, I pretty much figure there is so****ing wrong with the caller. If they continue calling, I just use *60 to block them from ever calling a***n. Any legitimate caller would leave a message, but scam artist don't want to leave much of a record of what they are doing. A recorded message from them, can be used a***nst them in a court of law.

Allied International/Allied Interstate calls my home asking for nine (count them, 9) different people. We just happen to have a common last name as MANY people in this area, so they are making cold calls hoping to get a bite. "Oh yea, that's my cousin, let me give you his number"...yea right! I know NONE of the people they are looking for. You think that's bad enough? They call EVERY day, all day long. And if even THAT is not bad enough, there is a cease and desist order in their file a***nst them calling my number. Do you think they care. They break the law ALL the time. They actually think they are above the law! Anyway, here's their attorney's information, and I encourage ALL here to call him, as I have done: Kurt Tullar, Esq. Vice President, Legal iQor, Inc. (owns Allied Interstate) 335 Madison Ave. 27th Floor New York, N.Y. 10017 Ph: 646-375-6187

Got a call from this number. Spoke too fast to get the toll free number. They said they were a debt collection group (Allied), but I have no outstanding debts-I pay my bills every month on time and in full. I tried to call the number back to get the toll free number and call could not be completed---I believe it is a scam, they are probably trying to get people to call the 800 # to rip them off somehow. Don't trust these people!!

Female recording wants to talk about a debt and to call a 800 number. Says number so fast can't get it. May not be a good idea to call back from your own phone as not knowing where it may connect you to for outrageous billing. If really wanting to call perhaps from public phone.

called..aske dof rmy husband, asked if i was his wife-then refused to say who she was representing..wanted all my info but was refusing to give nay of her own..then told me i ahd been RECORDED!!! and ***g up on me! aren't you supposed to tell the party you are recording first before recording!

These people are calling my family but never calling me directly! never leaving a message just asking for me and thats it - I called back once and it was a Baptist church! Scam artists - I owe no one anything - pay everything monthly!

this freakin number calls me every couple of months; will go for a long time without calls and then ****s up my phone for two or three days. Who are they? I'm not answering a number I don't recognize and I'm sure it's a scam.

Someone called my house and I asked whom was calling, they wouldn't say. They wanted to talk to Pat (my deceased aunt) about a personal matter. I kept asking whom is calling, they said they would call back later and ***g up.

How can these peope be stopped there must be a way.MAYBE IF EVERYONE GOT TOGETHER and called the local police in Burien, WA they can trace it and find the ****s. The police will do so****ing if anough people complain.

This number calls all the time and tells me to call a 800 # about a debt of mine. I know that I have NO debt. Can't these people be stopped.

SOmeone keeps calling from 253-218-3451 They do not leave a message and when I call back I get a recording that the number isnt in service. Go figure !

Tired of these IDIOTS calling and being a scam! I need to get a boat horn and when they call **** it into the phone receiver. I owe ***ody nothing!

received automated phone call last night about an outstanding debt. the recording went very fast without me being able to write down the toll free call back number

Calling for a woman who lived at this address over 8 years ago. Two families have lived here in between. We have had our phone number more than 15 years.

These calls are rediculous. It's time to fire all our Government idiots & *****s and put some honest people in the whitehouse that will do so****ing about them!D2M8

Of course the interesting part of this is the only debt we have is a mortgage that is current nor have we co-signed for any debt.

calls several times per day - nights and weekends and when I attemp to return the call the msg says call cannot be completed as dialed

calls several times per day - nights and weekends and when I attemp to return the call the msg says call cannot be completed as dialed

keep calling my parents house i'm been married for 13 years havn't lived at home since 1991 i try calling number won't go throuh

These people just call because last names are the same when the party they call does not even live at the phone number

would not reveal who caller was representing....said only after conversation that the conversation had been recoreded!!!!!!!!!!!! Still dont know why the call!

DOESN`T SAY WHO IS CALLING...NO ANSWER..IT`S GETTING TO SCRAE ME..STOP THIS NUMBER FROM HARASSING ME...NO MORE CCALL`S FROM THIS NUMBER,YHANK YOU

Seems like another scam to get people to reveal their social security number. These iden***y thieves belong in jail.

these guys are scammers trying to get cash and ssn's. don't give them any info at all!!!!

they keep calling my # and the party they are looking for doesnot live here or have

calls constantly..no message for answering ma****e.....not message when i answer personally. how can i stop it

THEY CALL LIKE 3 TIMES A WEEK, GET A DISCONNECTED NUMBER MESSAGE WHEN I CALL BACK

Leaves half a mess*** and no way to return call. Coming in around 9am every day

calls every day. caller id says unknown caller. leaves no voice mail.

WILL NOT LEAVE MESSAGE OR FOR WHOM CALL IS FOR OR ABOUT

253-218-3458 is calling my number on the Do Not Call List

will not leave name,for whom calling,or what call is about

They call multiple times a day and just **** up

keeps calling and ****ing up on me... what the*****

rude, asking for someone else in my house

several calls about a debt that i owe

calls frequently no message ever left on phone

called me 5 times in 1 day

keeps calling and calling and calling

keep all day and **** up.

Calling my cell phone, bad news.

WILL NOT LEAVE MESSAGE

****s up on you

Unsolicited call

****up

They called 6 times, just today. When I answer, no one answers. When the answering ma****e gets it, they don't leave a message. We don't have any debt so I have no idea what's going on or why they call us today, out of the blue, 6 times. When I call the number back, it says my call cannot be completed as dialed. VERY strange.

I was called today, but didn't recognize the number and did a google search on it. Looks like a lot of folks are getting harassed by these idiots - that's how I ended up here. I have no debt so I'm****uming it is some sort of phishing scam to obtain personal info. I'm looking forward to the day this type of harassment stops!

calls come in 2 or 3 times a day, no one is ever on the line. we are on the do not call list. I dont answer any one i dont know, and they leave no message. Ive resorted to turning off the ringer. any one important calls the cell anyway.

I received a incoming call from 253-218-3451 I answered and it said it was a collection agency calling. so I was trying to figure out why it would be calling the call said to call them back. so we did and it does not go through.

Calling everyone I know and asking for my name. Called my job call my husbands xwife and asked for me where are they coming up with phone numbers of the people I know. This just doesn't seem legal and they need to stop

Yet another bogus collection cal from a company I've never heard of -- if they call back I will s**** playing the same game with them of repeatedly calling.

Had a missed call, called back and you get the service message saying it can't be completed as dialed

Called about collecting debt which I don't have. Suspcious since it was on Black Friday at 7pm.

A call placed @ 1043 on Sept 25 to my cell number---I want off their calling list

They call multiple times a day,sometimes every 3 minutes (auto dialing?).

Keep getting calls from this number, caller just ****s up.

leaves a messge that says only this exactly: "4297611"

continues to call and **** up when I answer

allied interstate reguarding debt..but I have no debt..SCAM
