Call your local phone provider and ask for their procedure on threatinging/harrassing phone calls. On many digital phone networks, hitting a "*57" immediately after receiving such a call will initiate a log back at the phone company's central switching office. After two or three such loggings, you can have a formal case investigation done by the phone company. They will contact whomever is calling you (they of course can find out who is doing this even with blocked or 800- number callers). At the very least, Allied will have to produce a letter to the phone company showing why they have a legitimate reason to call you so frequently. My hunch is that they will probably stop calling you because this documentation requires too much effort on their part. Good luck.
