Allied Interstate

Who is Allied Interstate?

Allied Interstate, LLC is a debt collection agency headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They play the role of a third-party agency, stepping in to collect outstanding debts on behalf of original creditors or purchasing debts for a fraction of their original value.

If you see Allied Interstate listed on your credit report as a collections account, it usually indicates that you have an unpaid debt they are trying to collect.

Who does Allied Interstate collect for?

Allied Interstate provides debt collection services for a broad range of companies from various industries. They collect for retail companies such as J.C. Penney and eBay, catalog retailer Fingerhut, and satellite service provider DirecTV, among others. In addition, they are known to purchase debt from student loan providers such as Sallie Mae, as well as credit card companies like Providian and Capital One.

These companies contract with Allied Interstate when they have been unable to collect outstanding debts from their customers. Through their collection efforts, Allied Interstate aims to recover as much of this debt as possible.

Is Allied Interstate legit or a scam?

Allied Interstate is a legitimate debt collection company. However, their aggressive collection practices, such as repeated spam calls, texts, or emails, can often cause consumers to question their legitimacy.

How can I remove Allied Interstate from my credit report?

Collections can hurt your credit score and stay on your credit report for up to seven years, even if you pay them. Paying the collection might even lower your credit score.

However, it is possible to remove a collection account from your credit history before seven years.

(Though debt collectors may not want this widely known, it’s your right to be informed.)

Should I contact or pay Allied Interstate?

Before contacting a third-party debt collector, verify that the debt is legitimate and accurately reported. Credit reports can contain errors or list debts that are no longer valid. Also, be aware that making payments on a debt can reset the clock and potentially harm your credit.

Will Allied Interstate sue me or garnish my wages?

Allied Interstate is legally entitled to file a lawsuit against you for an unpaid debt. If they win the lawsuit and a judgment is granted, they could potentially garnish your wages or levy your bank account, depending on your state’s laws.

However, before a debt collector like Allied Interstate can garnish your wages, they typically need to sue you, win the case, and obtain a court order. Wage garnishment is generally considered a last resort after all other collection attempts have been exhausted.
