DVD movies!!?? Unpaid!!??
DEFINITELY, we NEVER ordered DVD MOVIES from COLUMBIA. We received a letter with a letterhead, "AlliedInterstate", contact number is 888-297-****, dated 03/02/11, referencing OPS 10, Account No. 900478****, Amount Owed: $48.88. Somehow, this co-called collection company got a hold of my cell phone number, and claimed that I owed $48.88 for DVD movies NEVER I ordered through COLUMBIA company. My wife contacted the number above, and she was told that, "maybe your husband forgot that he ordered." "WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TRYING TO PULL!!!???." My wife contacted them, and inquired. My wife told the person (middle east accent) that we NEVER ORDERED ANY DVD MOVIES. However, my wife was willing to pay in full the amount claimed. The person inquired into my wife's bank account, as he said that it is best to pay by credit card. My wife was felt like in her mind that this may be a scandal, in which she spontaneously thought and advised the person that she will pay by check, and not by credit card account information over the phone. The person insisted that to pay by credit card will save approximately $18.00 off of the $48.88." At this point, my wife believed that such a collection agency is BOGUS!!

Allied Interstate 800-410-****
I keep getting calls from the above number. When I called back, they won't tell me who they are kept presurring me for my personal info.
I finally talked to a manager who again pressured me for my personal info. I finally got her to pull up the file attached to the number gave her my first name. Once she confirmed that the first name doesn't match her file, she said she will put a request in to remove my number.
However, if another call comes through, I should answer it and tell the person on the other end that I'm not the person they are looking for. I hope this works.

This company has called three times now, anytime they call they will not leave a message. I looked the number up online and it came back as this real estate company in Atlanta Georgia. I answered the phone when they called today and waited to see what they said and there was only silence. I decided to call them back and an Indian man answered the phone. I asked who he was and why he was calling me 3 times. He refused to identify himself or the company he worked for at first but finally he revealed that he worked for "allied interstate". He still would not revile why he was calling or what his company did so when he asked if i was the person they were looking for i said no and hung up. I then looked up the company name and found out it was a collection agency. Had he told me this right off the bat i would have found out why they were calling and cleared the whole situation up. This company is using deceitful tactics that may or may not be illegal, but i am NOT going to give out any information to anyone who calls and wont tell me who they are and why the are calling. if anyone knows if anything they are doing here is illegal please let me know.

I too received a call from this company asking "who I am" and when I told them I wanted to know who was asking since they called me, a very rude woman hung up on me. They are trying to collect an alleged verizon debt with an account number which is not mine. They then tried to get me to give them my verizon account number to verify my account. I think this company is a scam as I did speak to Verizon/Frontier who verified my account is paid in full and I do not owe Verizon any money.

Allied Scam
I have just gotten a call from these guys. I have perfect credit and I have no intention of giving them any information. When you call all you get it some classical music and you are on hold and no one ever answers. If anyone does answer I am going to harras them like they do all of us. Don't ever giv out any personal information over the phone. Be in charge andthere is no law that says you have to give collection agancies aninformation at all. Allied your days are numbered. For all of you reading this be aware of these jerks.

Allied Interstate = harassing ***
We keep getting calls from their number 866-578-**** (caller ID: Unavailable), even though we are on the Do Not Call Registry, and have asked repeatedly that they stop harassing us. Internet search shows they're Allied Interstate, a collection agency. We are not in business with them, have zero debt and clean credit records = no reason for collection. We got a call again from them tonight, and found out from their agent that they were looking for someone else (who happens to be our neighbor) and wanted to know whether we knew her. We denied to confirm any information. Not only are their repeated, harassing calls unacceptable, but harassing neighbors of people they are trying to reach, and who have no business with them nor with such neighbors, is plain *** tactics. We are taking all the steps necessary to have such practice penalized, including but not limited to complaints to the FCC and the Do Not Call Registry. We will keep doing so until these parasites are definitely neutralized.

Rude message on my machine
Left very rude message on my answering machine stating "I have made several attempts to get in contact with you in regards to some very important documentation that has been placed on my desk that requires your immediate attention." The person they are looking for does not live at my address (although I've had my home number for only a few months, perhaps it is their old number?). Miss Jackson (I'm sure that was her real name lol) left a detailed message which I'm sure borders on violating the privacy of the person in question. I called back & left a message stating that no one by that name resides in this home & to remove my number from their call list immediately. I will be contacting Lisa Madigan's office tomorrow to report this & forward the message. Ms. Madigan, the Attorney General for the State of Illinois, has no problem suing these less than credible collection agencies (and she wins)! Caller ID stated: IQOR, telephone number 561-671-**** but Miss Jackson left the 866-438-**** as her direct line. These lowlifes use intimidation & threats to bully people - scumbags!!

Calls constantly
This place is crazy. A minimal of 10 times daily I call back and they don't have a record of me, they don't have my number on file. Then the ask me to give my full social security number to see if they have a file for me. Asked then to speak to a manager and was told the manager was right beside of the man I was taking to and said nothing else to do. Asked them to never call me again and was told since my number was not in file they couldn't take it out. Totally obnoxious rude harassing people and for no reason what so ever. Please have them stop, I mean these people are being paid to harass the legal citizens of this country...wtf??? They must be stopped at all costs

Calling Agents Outside USA
I receive a call from Allied Interstate. They refused to identify the reason for calling and misstated that they were in Columbus, Ohio when in fact they are in New Delhi, India. I receive a call from Allied Interstate. They refused to identify the reason for calling and misstated that they were in Columbus, Ohio when in fact they are in New Delhi, India. They did not have the correct account information nor did they have my correct date of birth. I told the customer service rep that I was in the process of filing Chaper 7. I have given them the information in the past yet they stated they had no such information on hand. Bikram Merkei did admit to being in India. But, Rahul Singh swore that he was located in Columbus, Ohio. This is another instance where American jobs are being sent overseas and the customer service reps are not qualified to handle and/or attend to the needs of the individual they are talking to. Always refuse to talk to a rep on foreign soil. Insist on speaking to someone in the United States.

Allied Interstate violating Fair Debt Collections Practices Act
Allied Interstate is harassing people alleging they have clients (the "client" is just a number, no name or identifying info given) that has bought a debt, and they try to scare the consumer in hopes they will pay the alleged debt with a credit card. But these debts are long out of statute, if they ever existed at all. It is illegal to do this. Find an attorney online. There are many who will sue these creeps for you. The law requires they pay you $1,000 plus all legal fees and costs when they violate the FDCPA. Sue them!

Allied Interstate, Inc is harassing me
For the past two years I have been getting calls from debt collectors trying to collect from a deadbeat who, they say, gave them my phone number. *** When I tell them he doesn't live here and I don't know who he is, they simply pass the information on the the next collection company. As and aside, I looked up the deadbeat's name on Intellius and his address is available ON LINE. I got two calls this week. The first call was from Hunt & Henriques of San Jose, CA. After I gave them my "spiel" I asked them to NOT forward my phone number to another collection agency. They forwarded it anyway. Got a call the very next day from Allied Interstate, Inc. I knew it would be useless to be "nice" so I played along with their "game." They asked me if I was "so-and-so." I said I might be. They asked if I was aware of a "certain address." I said I know where it is. They asked if the last four of my SS were "nnnn." I said NO and that I was NOT the person they were looking for, and PLEASE don't forward my phone number to another agency. They said, "If you had told me that in the beginning, we wouldn't be having this conversation." And I thought..."caca de toro!!" It turns out that the "certain address" is a Postal Annex store, which I called and learned that the "deadbeat" has a mail box located there. And guess what? Allied Interstate broke the law by divulging personal information about the deadbeat and the deadbeat could sue them. In addition, if Allied Interstate forwards MY phone number to another collection agency, I'm going to sue Hunt & Henriques, Allied Interstate, and the next collection agency that calls my phone number.

Harrasment phone calls and a rude.
My complaint is with caller Danna, she and your company continue to call my house number 904-374-**** looking for a Jakelin Cook. NO JACKELIN COOK lives at this number. After telling Danna and other callers from your office that Mrs. Cook does NOT LIVE AT THE PHONE NUMBER, I ask them to please remove that number from your database.... But nooooo... they keep calling me almost every day. Let me be clear, I am a mental patient on heavy medications. Your Danna has me shaking in anger. Apparently Danna loves calling me but then I started to call her (a few times) and she was mean and rude. I have recorded my conversation with her. If I get one more call from your office I will pursue legal action. r/

Allied Collection is a Scam!!!
I just got a call from the guy saying he is from a collection company called Allied for Columbia House DVD's. I ordered in 2006. I never ever signed up for that stuff. Total Scam. I just got approved for a Home Loan and I have Perfect Credit. Beware of this *** Artist. He could be fishing for more info. DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOU.
