In late I sold a number of items on E-Bay and used U.P.S. To ship them. U.P.S. Billed me promptly. I paid the $93.14 to U.P.S., however U.P.S. Did not promptly credit my account. They did promptly turn it over to Allied Interstate for collection. The account was paid in full, to U.P.S.in February and turned over to Allied in March. I have since received a letter from Allied each month since then, demanding payment. Each month I contact U.P.S. Who tells me they will notify Allied that an error was made and the account is actually paid. Allied continues to report this account as delinquent and has now began sending tougher letters. U.P.S. Continues to inform me that all they can do is notify Allied that the account is P.I.F.
Calling Allied is a useless venture since you wait on hold forever. If your lucky enough to get a live person, they will tell you that the company who reported you has to make the correction, or you have to send them the cancelled check.
First of all I would never send them a cancelled check with my account number on it. Number 2, I don't get cancelled checks, I use carbons. I would have to pay the bank for a copy of the cancelled check, use my office supplies and apply my 37 cent stamp. While this doesn't sound all that difficult, why should I have to pay upwards of $7.00 to correct an error between U.P.S. And Allied Interstate. I have grown tired of incompetency among our corporations and they're clerical staffs. No-one knows how to correct this problem from U.P.S., no-one wants to correct it at Allied Interstate and We The People have to keep on taking this crap. I own my own business and occasionally need to use a collection agency to recover payments. I've never had a problem getting someone proper credit on an account.
