Allied Interstate - LVNV FUNDING RIPOFF False Collection from ATT accounts that never existed Columbus Ohio
I have been getting letter that I owe money from them through my ATT account. I asked them if they can provide me with further information about the bill or money I owe from ATT. They said they only have the amount I owe since they only bought the account from ATT. If you tell them that you would contact ATT, they would say that ATT won't be able to help you and give any further details since it was closed already and transferred to their collection agency. After all of the questions about the history of the account, I finally told them I never had an ATT account and from that point they started getting rude and threatening me that how much they would mess up my credit report. I get this letter about 1-2 times per year and every time I call they have the same story and wouldn't be able to verify the validity of the account. I want to know how can we stop this people which is very irritating and annoying trying to scam to people who is trying to earn an honest living. Oh by the way, if you listen to the background around the person you're talking to, it doesnt look like they're on an office setting and it seems like they are at home so somehow this toll free number is more like a forwarding number to this very nasty and rude people. How can we stop this ALLIED INTERSTATE, this is not funny anymore

I too have gotten calls from this company. I had an outstanding payment do to my phone company for a service that I had canceled. I had not idea about the money owed until Allied Interstate called. Since this is an account you have never had, you can write a Cease Communitation letter to Allied Interstate. You can a copy of one on www.budhibbs.com The letter is free all you do is copy and send. This is also a GREAT site for consumers, full of very useful info. If the cease communication letter does not work, there is always the Attorney General of the state Allied Interstate is located. Keep us posted....

All you need to do is send them a DEBT VALIDATION request as per the provisions of the FDCPA. Send this letter by certified mail, return reciept requested. Be sure to put the certified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records. This is VERY important to do it this way. In this letter clerly deny the debt and DEMAND to see the original signed contract that created the debt, as well as a full account history and itemization of all charges. Also demand proof that they are legally entitled to collect on this debt. DEMAND to see the entire "chain of title" on the alleged debt as well as a purchase contract and proof of payment, including amount paid. With this done exactly this way, you will most likely never hear from them again. Go to ftc.gov and file complaints against them online.
