Allied Interstate’s size and capacity is certainly impressive, large companies don’t come out ahead. The Federal Trade Commission recently investigated Allied Interstate and the result was that Allied Interstate was fined $1.75 million. Results of the investigation found Allied Interstateaggressively harassing people who owed debts and for trying to collect money from people who didn’t owe Allied Interstate anything, and repeated phone calls to wrong numbers were among the investigated complaints.

Official government reports revealAllied Interstate has frequently fired employees for using extreme profanity and threats without reporting the prevalence of these consumers’ rights abuses.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) does not accredit Allied Interstate, LLC and iQor.Allied Interstate shows over 454 complaints filed in the past three years and within the past 12 months there have been 68 complaints filed. A majority of these complaints are in the areas of billing and collection issues along with problems with what they offer as a business. The parent agency, iQor, seems to stay behind the more public Allied Interstate name when it comes to direct interaction with consumers.
Payment “solutions” at this company are taken extremely seriously, but compliance with regulations set by the Federal Government are not even taken into consideration. On Allied Interstate’s website, the reader finds a small text area in their website about regulatory compliance that states, “Nobody’s perfect, but we strive to be.” Yes, this casual statement in the area of consumer protection comes from such a serious financial solutions company that prides itself on serving high-quality blue chip companies.
On the other hand, their parent company iQor states on their First Party Collections page that their agents receive training in both recovery and customer care “to ensure an experience that will delight the customer.” A simple search on Google leads the average consumer to disagree.
Do not let a company like Allied Interstate, with its public reputation of questionable honesty and mistreatment of their customers, get the best of you. You have rights and there are better solutions than dealing with a company where the primary objective is collecting money, regardless of fair, truthful terms.
