They’re legit. Alliance Group & Associates has been in the collections business for 9 years. The company was originally started on February 2nd, 2012 and was accredited by the Better Business Bureau on February 9th, 2015. On top of its accreditation by the Better Business Bureau, Alliance Group & Associates has also received an “B” rating from the BBB. Due to the company’s years of experience, its accreditation by the BBB, and its average rating, it is easy to see that Alliance Group & Associates is not a scam. Therefore, the debt which you may have been contacted about is real, and needs to be dealt with. However, Alliance Group & Associates still may be in violation of the FDCPA. Therefore, while it is important that you do not ignore the need to resolve your alleged debt with Alliance Group & Associates, as this could potentially harm your credit and ability to take out future loans, be wary of any suspicious activity where the company could potentially be violating the FDCPA.
Alliance Group & Associates currently has no active website. However, in regard to the collection company’s size, the company has an employee base of 175 people and sales of $1 million (according to ZoomInfo.com).
Because there is currently no active website for Alliance Group & Associates, there is no information available on what type of collections Alliance Group & Associates works within or what businesses they specifically collect for. Due to this lack of information, it is important that as a consumer you confirm with the collections company about what debt is specifically owed and to whom. Inquiring as soon as possible is the smartest move to make, and if you feel as though this company has breached their FDCPA rights be sure to contact an attorney to help you file a lawsuit.

It is illegal for collections companies to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. In the case that the company cannot verify your debt or you may not owe said debt, the collections company would most likely choose not to sue. However, Alliance Group & Associates can still summon debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. If you find yourself in this situation, it is important that you choose to sue and hire legal aid. The wisest option in this case would be to contact an attorney preemptively to ensure the safety of your assets and rights.

Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a sample complaint:
A complainant claims that Alliance Group & Associates has been harassing them. The complainant has received 3 calls in one day and the complainant’s family members are also allegedly being contacted regarding an overdue credit card. The complainant attempted to talk with an employee by the name of “Matt” and claims that he was incredibly rude to the complainant. The complainant asked for information regarding where the charge for this credit card came from, and was only met with insults and passive aggressiveness by the employee. In addition to this, the employee also had access to the complainant’s social security number and read the number aloud to the complainant on the phone without verifying that they were actually in contact with the complainant.
