Debt collection companies like Allied Interstate is aware that consumers continue again and again, even if you tell them to call. This type of harassment is a violation of federal law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Allied Interstate has been sued by the Minnesota attorney general for repeatedly calling innocent consumers despite requests to stop. Allied Interstate finally agreed on a solution to them from contacting such consumers after they bannedsaid that they do not owe the debt in question. Will this be enough to stop the harassment? It is highly doubtful.
There are more complaints with the Federal Trade Commission about debt collectors than about any other industry. But despite the many complaints and civil law, debt collectors harass still managing to consumers at regular intervals. In many cases, consumers do not even owe the money. Just play from the collector to stop the harassment.
Underthe FDCPA, collectors are intended to consumers that they have a right to discuss the debt dispute, but that if consumers do not immediately and in writing to the collector can assume after 30 days that the debt is valid. The right of consumers as debt validation, and should always be practiced. The consumer should never pay on a debt, if it is proved.
Once collectors are notified that they have contacted the wrong party or that the consumer because of the debt dispute, the companiesintended to demonstrate the validity of the debt offering ". If they do not provide the proof, collections required by law to no more. They are also required to remove the debt from your credit report.
The best way to stop this wretched collector, is to know your rights and let them know that you know your rights. Otherwise they will take advantage, as they have so many other innocent people who do not deserve.
