Allied Collection Service, Inc. - This is a collection agency located in Columbus, Indiana, specializing in the recovery of medical debt, higher education, municipalities, retail, and commercial debt. I have received a few calls from them, and they never leave a voicemail. I also received a notification from them in the mail, prior to when these calls started, informing me that they are attempting to collect on unpaid college tuition. This is a legitimate debt, so they are not telemarketers or scammers.

Looking for someone else
A guy called asking for my 14-year-old son by name saying he was with a collection agency and we owed $76 for a doctor my son hasn't seen in years. The whole thing sounded very suspicious to me. I was completely unaware for any unpaid bills, especially from that long ago. He was insistent that they had called me in 2013 and I said I had already sent the check. I asked why they would wait 4 years to contact me again? I asked if they could send me an invoice to show what this was for. He refused. I said there was no way I was giving a credit card over the phone as I had no idea who this guy was. He kept repeating -- very rudely -- his name and idea number and the name of the company (I wrote none of this down, but should have.) He wouldn't let me get in a word edgewise, so I started getting very angry and starting shouting over him that if I didn't get invoice in the mail, I would do nothing. He continued to refuse. He told me our address and clearer had my phone number. I told him flat out that I thought he was a scammer and I'd contact the doctors office directly to find out if we had any outstanding bills. He said I was being rude and ended the call. I called the doctors office, which unfortunately moved to a new practice after 2013, so they had no records on file for us at the new location. I *did* find out, though, that around 2012/13 their system *did* get hacked, so I suspect this "Allied Collections" (or whoever they really are) recently came into possession of this hacked list and is trying to scam people. Don't answer calls from this number, and if you do, don't give them any personal information or credit card info!!
very rude and robo dialed my cell phone and work cell phone. I also requested that he send a validation letter and he refused.
Calls everyday!
