strange reponse to debt validation request

It is certainly a strange activity. I will not give out my personal information to these collection agencies because they should already have it in their system. If they are doing this collection in legitimate terms, the US Dept. of Education must have sent the info. Do you sense something abnormal while dealing with this CA? Try to get the matter resolved with the Dept. of Education if that helps.

I called the US Dept of Education upon being contacted by allied interstate. I was told by the US dept of Education that my defaulted account is in the hands of Allied Intersate.

But Allied's persistance in wanting my personal banking info without sending me basic loan information sent up red flags.

I was wondering if another stern letter or other course of action would make Allied stop playing games. I am growing increasingly frustated. Good advice from the community is welcomed.

Call AI and ask them to verify your last 4 digits of the SSN. If they have your address to send you the letter, other details might also be available in their system. You need to have a talk with them and see how they are planning their next moves. I will be suspicious right from the beginning.

Admittedly, I'm not so keen on calling AI. I know with good reason they don't have my best interests in mind.

I contacted my State's Attorney General's office and the rep on the phone said that I was entitled to a debt verification and that the information must be provided to AI from the original creditor.

If AI continues to play dumb and doesn't send me the debt verification info I requested within 30 days, then AI should clear my credit.

I think I'll hold out and see what course of action AI takes. The burden of proof is on AI. If any one has any differing opinions, please reply.

When you send the DV letter,send it certified,return receipt.If you do not hear from them in about 30 days,send a follow up letter,same way.I may be wrong,but I don't think there is a time limit on when they have to validate. Be sure and keep copies,records of phone calls,names and dates for your records.Good Luck :D ...Karen

AI is not fit to handle government debts. Mush them.

i hae requestthe lender to send me a copy of the master check or the electric transfer note for which they are trying to collect on no finacial records can be foud except for a promissary note that i did not sign can the leander collect on this loan without finacial proof .

Is your question regarding a student loan, a private loan or credit card probelem? I think your question would be better served in the "dealing with collection agencies section". Click the link below. I think you'll find some good answers there.

Despite a previous complaint to the Attorney General in which Allied Interstate responded that they had no record of me in their database and that calls would stop, they have recently begun calling me non-stop again. They call at least 10 times a day, about once an hour starting at 8am. Sometimes they call every 45 minutes. This company and those who work for it are frauds and should be ashamed of themselves. They continually attempt to gain personal credit card information, if they are a legitimate debt collector, they should have all the pertinent info and not be attempting to gain this information from individuals who they apparently cannot even locate in their records. What kind of company cannot search by a name or address and can only look up a credit card-this is bull. I will be reporting them again to the Attorney General and this time, not only in my home state but also in Minnesota where they have already had one lawsuit brought against them by the Attorney General.
