Be careful.  Alliance One Financial Management has a long history of abusive and illegal practices.  They will call from numerous locations and phone numbers.  Check the laws in your state.  Most states have statutes limiting the number of times per week or per day a collection agency can call you; then complain to your State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission, and whichever state department governs the conduct of collection agencies.

If, as in the previous note, they represented a legal claim had been taken, which has not - or they are not licensed to practice law in your state, they may be in violation of unfair business practices - or the unlicensed practice of law in your state, which may be a felony in some states.  Report them to your State Bar Association without delay.

We had Alliance One call us (although we didn't know who they were), and left a message and said to please call the office of Curtis Hunt (I think was the name), because their had been a summons of a legal complaint that had been forwarded to his office.  Then he gave a complaint # and said that he would like my husband's input about the complaint before he took action of legal filing. Then said if he didn't return the call that he would have no choice but to pursue the filing of the complaint.  We were confused because we didn't have any legal issues, so my husband called. We found out that it was a collection agency, but then the guy tried another scare tactic.  He asked if the sheriff had been to our home yet to deliver a letter.  When my husband said, "No,"  he said well, he was supposed to be there yesterday.  He did this to try to secure our bank account numbers which thankfully, my husband didn't have at the time.  I now just ignore the calls.  This number also shows up on caller ID from them...866-365-3228.

Alliance one called me today. it's 12:27 pst and I have recieved 5 calls. (Might I mention I have a 17 month old baby !) They are asking for a Kevin (I will not give last name) who doesn't not live here. I have had Chase call me in the past via automatic voice mail stating that this "kevin" guy owes almost 1200 bucks in past due Credit Card Payments. Every time Alliance One calls I try to explain that he must have been the previous owner of the house, or previous owner of the telephone number and that there is no Kevin here. Agressive woman states that "I am covering for him and I could be sued for that". It's all BS. I can tell. They want this Kevin guy but ask me for my Social Security number. Tell me I can be held accountable too. What they don't know is that my husband is a Police Officer and we know the law pretty well on harassment. If calls continue through the week we'll be filling a claim with the FTC or Local agecny for harassment.

Someone called early on a Saturday morning for my son.  My home number is not his number.  I'd guess this person is a collection representative or solicitor.
