After SEVERAL times advising Allied that they are calling a business number, that the person they are asking for does not work at this address, and REQUESTING TO CEASE AND DECIST calling this number:

Once again, Joseph Westerfield, who claims he never spoke to me before, who claims they never were asked to stop calling, once again asked for this individual. At first he personally stated that he was not going to stop calling this number until the person he is trying to contact speaks with him. (HARASSMENT violation #1) I advised him that according to FCC regulations that his statement is a threat of harassment, and he replied that it is not. Joseph Westerfield REFUSED to state his job title, and repeatedly stated that there is nobody in authority over him in which I could speak to. (Violation #2)

So once again, I stated that the individual whom he's trying to contact does not work at this location. I asked him the specific question: "Will I be receiving any more phone calls from Allied International". -The first time I asked, he remained silent, so I repeated the question. The second time he said "I don't have to answer that question" (Violation #3) I asked him this question at least 7-8 times in which he refused to answer with a specific "Yes" or "No" answer.

Joseph Westerfield did give me personal information of the contact he used to obtain this phone number (Violation #4). When I called the 1-800 number that he gave me to obtain further address information of the corporation, the first individual stated that they did not have that information. (Violation #5) and would not speak to me for about 30 seconds as I was trying to get them to speak to me. Eventually I was transferred without notice back to Joseph Westerfield whom gave me the corporate information requested.

As a final note: On one occasion, I decide to see what information they would give me if I got them to think I was the person they were calling. So when they asked if I was ... I responded with: "Yeah, why not", and "Sounds Good" "O.K.", but never a full 'yes'. -This seems to aggravate them, as it seems they enjoy giving us a hard time, but they don't seem to think it is right for us to be as rude to them as they are to the people they are calling. I would never fully admit that I was someone I am not, but its interesting how tempted they are to give out personal information to anyone for the possibility of getting a commission.

P.S. there are some great tips on Youtube of collection agencies, your rights, and some fun videos turning the tables on them.
