Country: United States
I work for a california county child support office and I have been receiving phone calls from this collection agency and previous ones for approximately 4 years. This is over a phone bill that is for someone I do not know and gave my office number as their contact number. I have explained several times and I guess they think I am lying. I am not the person they are trying to reach and am very upset as I have perfect credit and do not deserve the harassing phone calls. I have requested that they stop yet they do not. The number they leave to call back is 1-866-221-3230.

    I just called them back directly and someone answered right away. They asked to speak to a "Victor S" and I told them there is no one by that name at my phone number. They then asked if I knew anyone by that name which I don't. He thanked me and told me I'd be removed from the call list. Hopefully this is the case but I suppose I'll find out in a few hours since they usually call twice in the evening...

    I called them back and spoke to a person looking for a "Claudia."  I told them this is a new number that was issued from Comcast about 2 months ago.  They said they would take me off the list.  We'll see.

      They were sued by FTC and settled, paying a $1.75 million fine.

      They are subject to a consent agreement prohibiting violations of FDCPA and requiring specific actions be taken to ensure they do not engage in collection of unowed debt.

      Your caller attempted to intimidate you into paying an unowed debt despite your telling him you did not owe it, rather than notifying you that you could dipsute the alleged debt and that by law they would then have to obtain and send you proof or cease collection.  

      His intimidation was an attempt to con you, in violation of Allied's agreement with FTC.

      Contact FTC to report violations of FDCPA by Allied Interstate.
