877-608-7675

I have received calls from this number for the pass four days,always between the times of 7:00pm & 7:30pm..I never answer the phone and they don't leave a message...

this toll free number(1877 608 7675) calls 2-3x a day. i answered it once but nobody responds from the other line. how can i block this number? i work nights and these calls come when you most wanted to get a good rest. they have been so irritating and disturbing whoever and whatever this is.

For several days in a row I have gotten the same recorded phone call...BEFORE 8am, including on Sunday morning. There is no opportunity to speak with anyone, no number left to call. Basically no way to make it stop. The message says it is Allied (or Ally?) Interstate, a debt collection company calling to collect a debt and that the call may be monitored. It repeats that message several times. Any assistance in stopping this harrassment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A constant call that is annoying from the above number. They do not leave a message.

They are calling me at work and at home.  When I answer the phone at work, nothing but air.

Will not stop calling!   Please help.

HERE IS THE HELP YOU ARE REQUESTING

From Federal Trade Commission Website – FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
    they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans’ Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members’ Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

They keep calling my house, and they left a message once for my husband's ex-wife.  They just called, and I called right back, and a lady answered "hello".  She said she was looking for two names of people that don't live here, so hopefully they have removed us from the list!

They've called several times before in the past, asking for someone that we don't know. Told them this, but they get nasty. Today when they called, I answered, put it on speakerphone, then gave the phone to my two-year-old granddaughter and let her babble to them for a few minutes. :-D

Cust recvd a call at 808am from this mother.  The caller asked for my mother which her and i have both moved several times and have lost contact over the years, i have married, changed my last name and moved between 3 states in the past 3 years so it really concerns me how they were able to link my name to hers....i just said theres no one here by that name and they lady told me they would remove my number from their database......i guess we'll see if they do

I've been seeing this number on caller ID several times a week.  finally I was home when the call came in so I answered.  she asked to speak to Tennesse Ray, When I told her wrong number she said she would remove my name from the list and that my call had been recorded for quality control.  A few hours later they called again and asked for Michigan Sam.  What the heck, is this just somebody prank calling?  And what would be the point of that?

They call me 1-2 times a day, usually while I'm working. I happened to catch them on my break today and when I answered, no one responded on the other end.

I got a call that said it was about a debt collection. The call was a recording. I have gotten these calls before. Evidently they want you to call them back. I normally ignore these calls but they were getting numerous so I called them back at 877-608-7675. They said that the collection had to do with an important business matter regarding my late husband's brother's wife's son by her first marriage. I have never had anything to do with that side of the family. They are not even blood related to my husband and have long been out of our lives. When I called what Allied Interstate they and explained that their debt has nothing to do with me the girl politely told me that she would take my name off that list but when I asked to know why I was even on there to begin with she said, "That's irrelevant." I angrily said, "Yes it is!" and she hung up on me. How can I get them to take my name off of any list that has nothing to do with any debt unless it is my own? First my brother-in-law, and now my other brother-in-law's son! When they hell are they going to leave me along???????????

Keep getting the calls on my cell phone.

I received numerous calls from this number.  When I was finally able to talk to a person, they indicated I had a debt, but refused to tell me from whom.  Upon further inquiry, I discovered that I did not have the debt but someone else by the name of Walker.  I demanded that they remove my name from the list and the receptionist told me not to use that tone of voice with her and hung up.  I called again and demanded that my name and number be removed from their list.  I also asked for an adddress, so I could voice my concerns.  The person was very hesitant to give me the information, but I did get an address.  This is ridiculous!

this person calls me EVERY morning at 8am, she knows that I work late and sleep mornings .. she calls me and puts me on hold so most times when I answer I'm on hold, then she finally gets on, I've quit answering the calls.. this morning at 8:10 she called and I heard it ring four times, she hung up, it immeditately rang again two times, quit ringing and then rang only once and quit ringing .. I picked the phone up and got the number off caller ID, I called HER, she answered the phone and I just sat there and said nothing. She said "this is Eileen".  After she said "Hello' about four times (which is what I usually say when she calls and wakes me up early in the morning because I think it might be my 87 year old Dad who needs my help), anyhow... when she continued to say "HELLO< HELLO< HELLO", I hung up. it is this allied interstate collection idiots place. these people must live in caves and just come out to harass decent people who are down on their luck, wonder if they've heard about the bad ECONOMY?? the next time they call, don't answer, just wait a few minutes and call them back and sit there and say nothing, then asked to speak to BARACK OBAMA!! when they ask who is calling, say "I need to know if Barack Obama is there!"  when they say that he's not there, call them liars and tell them that you KNOW that he's there and that you want to talk to HIM and ask them why HE hasn't paid .. yada yada yada, you get the idea .. LOL

would you please give me their address? I couldn't get it from anyone, thx

this caller call 3 times a day

I get about one call a day from this number.  Sometimes when I don't pay attention and answer it they start to tell me they are a collection agency and I have bad debt.  I don't owe and my credit score is excellent.  I'm just tired of getting these calls, even when I don't answer them.
