Stop Call Harassment from Allied Interstate

Allied Interstate is a collection agency that collects overdue debts. As is the case with most third-party collectors, they buy the debts off entities that are owed money by the consumers and get paid some percentage of the debt once it is resolved.

Because their payment depends on it, third-party collectors can get aggressive in the pursuit of debts.

Important Points To Help You Identify Call Harassment

Apart from the behavior listed above that pinpoints to harassment by Allied Interstate, how do you determine that you are suffering harassment? Given below are some pointers to help you determine what call harassment in legal terms is:

• You get calls from debt collectors after 9 pm and before 8 am
• When making collection calls , the callers do not identify themselves nor the entity on whose behalf the call is being made
• The collectors inform your associates or friends and relatives about your debt; debt collection agencies are prohibited from informing associates of consumers about their debt
• You are being forcefully persuaded. This includes suggestions of selling assets to pay up the remaining debt, etc.
• You are threatened with legal action, even though it is not applicable to your case
• You have registered your number in the national Do Not Call registry but yet you are still receiving incessant calls
• Despite communicating in writing that you should not be contacted, or that you do not owe the debt, your communication is being ignored

This is what the law says:

If you are facing any of the above, you have the right to put a stop to this behavior. This constitutes harassment.

• The Telephone Consumers Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) regulates the use of telephones and cellphones for the purpose of marketing communication, including debt-related communication. Guidelines of the TCPA prohibit each of the behavior practices listed above.
• The TCPA also allows for monetary compensation in case of violations of the guidelines being proven. The compensation sum increases in cases of willful violation being proven.
