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 remain on your credit report for up to seven years regardless of whether you pay it or not. Unfortunately, paying the collection could even lower your credit score.

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

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

Professional credit repair services work with people who want to get their credit back on track.

In addition to collections, they can help you to challenge other inaccurate, unfair, or unsubstantiated information on your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, bankruptcies, and more.

Should I contact or pay Allied Interstate?

Nothing good can come from speaking to a third-party debt collector on the phone. And making payments on the debt will reset the clock. As a result, it could harm your credit rather than improve it. However, sometimes it’s better just to pay the collection account, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.

The most effective way to deal with Allied Interstate is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Allied Interstate on behalf of their clients.

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.
