We can't help but wonder why the FTC did not ban Allied's use of autodialers as it is common knowledge Allied uses autodialers in direct violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  Had they done so it may have put this company out of business once and for all!

FTC Rule goes into effect October 27, 2010 Prohibiting Debt Relief Companies From Collecting Advance Fees

We can't help but wonder why the FTC did not include a provision that requires debt settlement companies to advise consumers that any debts they settle may result in a substantial tax liability for the consumer if a creditor files a 1099 against them for the difference between the original debt & the amount of the settlement.

October 2010.  What's up with Bank of America?    Customers who request their debit/credit cards or important documents be mailed to their local branch are being told NO due to BoA's new security procedures.  It appears as though someone at BoA holds the belief that a mailbox that sets by the roadside where anyone can grab your new debit/credit card in the blink of an eye  is more secure than their own bank vaults.
