Allied Interstate THESE PEOPLE ARE EVIL AND ILLEGAL! Columbus Ohio
Ok, I get a call on my cell phone about a $23.30 bill from PNC! I asked the lady (Carol) to not call me on my cellphone and that if she gave me a #, I would call her back! SHE WAS SUCH A B**CH! She refused to let me dispute this and when I asked for her supervisor (NATHANAIEL) he was just as rude and gnorant.
I am trying to purchase a house and i was threatened with negative credit update on my file so I just paid them! Again the bill was for 23.30 and they charged 5.95 for the check by phone fee. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET THEM BACK AND GET MY MONEY BACK!

In essence you gave in to their form of extortion....paying a bogus debt to protect your credit file...You should have fought back...starting with a debt validation letter to affirm the debt, per federal law. If you caved in that easily, they (or an affiliate) just might come back with another bogus debt...this time much larger...telling you again that they'll ruin your credit if you don't pay. This extortion has got to be stopped.

I too was harrased by allied interstate when purchasing my first house. These people called me out of the blue one day and told me I owed $1000 for a phone bill in a state i have never lived. I told the guy this and he went off and told me how I was a debtor, I would always be a debtor and how I should be ashamed of myself for not paying my bills. I asked him what I needed to do to dispute this and he told me there was no disputing it I owed the money and he would collect. So I hung up the phone and called back a few hours later after I cooled off a bit and talked to the supervisor. She also was worst than the first person. I asked when I made this alleged debt and she said 1995. I told her the statute of limitations expired on this debt anyhow. After much more arguing I made a complaint with the state attourney general and notified the three credit reporting agencies (equifax, transunion, experian) It never got put on my credit as of yet and they havent called back since. I hope it is resolved but I am sure it will show up again like a bad rash when a new company buys this junk debt.
