Complaint Review: Allied Interstate

We thought we had paid a bill from SBC, later allied interstate sent us a letter saying that we owed money. We called them and they offered a settlement with 40% less if we paid over the phone NOW. We offered to send checks in but still they said that they would only accept a lesser amount if we did our transaction over the phone.

We authorized two withdrawels from our checking account. One for 137.50 and the next check for 137.50. Later our account was off a little, we discovered that allied had taken out a third transaction on their own without our approval for 146.98. They used a check number that we had already used (for our church no less).
