ASAP -Certified Mail - Return Receipt Legaly there is nothing they can do to collect the debt, but you do need to make sure that you cover yourself if they try. They cannot demand payment without validation of debt and will not be able to prove it. Its also past Statute of limitations and they know it. They got nasty with you, because they know they have no legal way to collect. 2 excellent resources for you www.ftc.gov- Fair Debt Collection Practice Act www.budhibbs.com - A consumer advocate website dealing with debt collectors This bottom feeder is on their list of agencies to avoid - You can find your states statute of limitations and laws about recording calls. Recording calls with CA's can assist when YOU SUE THEM for violating FDCPA. Collection Agencies do not want you to know about this site! If you receive a collection notice from Allied DISPUTE IT! Even though you will never receive a reply, it is important that you use the law to your advantage. Allied aptly fits the saying; "the right hand hasn't a clue what the left hand is doing" Brain-Dead! Idiots! Untrained!

Sloppy record keeping, failure to validate at every level, under-trained, uneducated collectors SEVERELY lacking in Fair Debt Collection Practices Act training. Intellirisk must be making BIG bucks in collecting because they sure don't spend it to insure they comply with the laws. Student loans with these idiots is a nightmare. Most Allied collector's don't have a clue in handling even the most basic of consumer complaints. Loans that have been paid, in the wrong names and outdated credit bureau reporting are fast targets for lawsuits because Allied is unable or unwilling to respond. If you receive a collection notice from Allied DISPUTE IT! Even though you will never receive a reply, it is important that you use the law to your advantage. Allied aptly fits the saying; "the right hand hasn't a clue what the left hand is doing" Brain-Dead! Idiots! Untrained! May I state again....THANK GOD FOR THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT!! Someone in Washington must have had a dream about companies like Allied to enact the law. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! WATCH YOUR WALLET, YOUR CHECKBOOK AND YOUR CREDIT CARDS WHEN DEALING WITH THESE SLIPPERY CONS OF THE COLLECTION WORLD, THEY WILL EMPTY YOU OUT! CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email the details w/your location. Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available. Email for Assistance

I have just filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about Allied Interstate. They are, to say the least, worthless. They have broken the law many times in my case, and I have solid proof against them. Document EVERYTHING with this company! I have a cease and desist order to prevent them from calling my landline, (I have a signed, registered letter), and they still call my home, asking for people I have never heard of. They think they are above the law. Let us show them that they are certainly NOT!!! I implore you to file a complaint as I have. Here's the link: http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/cmplanding.shtm Good Luck.
