About a week ago we started receiving phone calls from out of state with personal names like Kevin Stark and Jennifer Smith. As my son is a United States Marine and deployed god knows where I wondered if maybe he was back in the states and trying to get hold of me. I used my cell phone as I have free long distance. The person answered Allied Interstate. I asked what kind of business they run and he asked for the telephone number that they called. I responded again well that depends on what kind of business you run. I am on the national do not call registry yet sometimes the telemarketers get through. He hung up after a few rude comments from him. Then they called back leaving an urgent please call message on my answering machine. My boyfriend whom I recently moved in with returned the call from the home phone. They then asked for his son by name that has not lived in this house for 5 years. My boyfriend gave them the name of the person his son was living with as my boyfriend does not like his son being a dead beat and was trying to help the collection agency collect his debt. I caught the last end of the conversation and stopped my boyfriend from giving them any more information saying they were rude to me last time. The collector asked to speak with me and I thought hey someone that cares about how the coworkers treat people. I told him what happened thinking he was being empathetic instead he basically said I got what I deserved and that they were going to continue to call this number even though we had already told them the person they are looking for does not live here. Sure enough they have. I *57 each call, at a $4.50 charge to me, as to have proof of the harassment yet I have not clue as to the physical address. This is what a reverse search gave: Auburn, WA and the registered carrier is Integra Telecom Of Washington, Inc. - Wa.
When I looked up licensing for the State of Washington Collection agencies this is all I received for Allied Interstate: Profession: Collection Agency UBI: 601371638 Business ID: 001 Company / Legal Entity Name: ALLIED INTERSTATE, INC. Status: Active Doing Business As: ALLIED INTERSTATE, INC. Line 1: attn: kimberly brisson line 2: corporate licensing coord.

I have sent a Cease Communications letter. Now they are calling my cell phone under unknown caller. Are there any attorneys out there interested in filing a class action suit? It looks to me by all these posting you would have plenty of people willing to jump onboard. Feel free to contact me.
