Subject: how can I block allied interstate from calling my telephone

for about 3 or 4 months now my telephone rings from a company callled, Allied Interstate. They call early morning, afternoon, evening. They have called as early as 8:30am and as late as 9:30pm. They even call on weekends. They call any where from 3-5 times per day. With all of this calling, no one has ever left a message, so I have no idea what they are searching for. How can I block allied interstate from calling my telephone?

This is a collection agency. They are perhaps trying to get hold of an unpaid debt. If you do not want them to call please send a certified mails stating that you do not want any further communication with them.

Well if they call again ask them their purpose. If they ask you to repay some loan you can go ahead and send them a debt validation letter.

If they call after 9:00pm, then you have grounds to sue...that is a violation of the FDCPA.

Contacting consumers by telephone outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time is violation of FDCPA.

Yes you can sue them in that case.

Shawn, every courthouse is different, but if you keep a log of every call made by AI to you, you might be able to prove harassment under the FDCPA as well.

I recieve a call from them today. As soon as I heard them ask me for someone else I went on the attact. I demanded to know how they got my phone number. These people know only lies and deceit so when you know they are lieing jump on them like a cat on a mouse. Also tell them nothing.

It does sound like the atty generals office needs to be contacted on this company. The sooner the better. The more people the better. Maybe it will put them back in line.
