I was contacted by this idiots on a debt for Sears that was not only paid off a year ago, but it was paid off through Allied Interstate! When I told this guy (Mr. Fred Taylor) that it was paid off and it was through their firm that handled the debt he had the balls to ask me for proof. I gave this clown the original Allied account# and the date it was settled.
That wasn't proof enough for him, he wanted the letter faxed! I asked him if they were in the practice of collecting debts without verifying them first? No response from him on that one. I told him that they should be able to verify this through their own records, but he still insisted I send him the proof the debt was settled and wanted to know if I could fax the information to him. I asked him for the fax number and sent him a "cease & desist" letter with the same information that I already gave him on the phone.
I figure the letter was from them and I shouldn't make their job any easier. This place must not keep records very well to go as far to collect on the same debt that they already collected on!
