Quick Answer: To find Alliance Recovery Services’ mailing address, debtors should ask the company directly during their next call since multiple companies share this generic name across different states. However, sending a cease and desist letter may stop calls but could accelerate legal action if the debt is valid.
Question:
Dear Steve,
I have been harassed by Alliance Recovery for over two months. I need to send them a Cease & Desist letter.
Each weekday I send one short email: one money story that caught my attention, why it might matter to you, and one manageable thing you can do with it. A couple of minutes, and a dad joke.

Answer:
Dear Robert,
I hate to state the obvious but you should ask them. The name is generic enough and there is more than one company named Alliance Recovery Services in different states that it would be impossible to figure out which one is calling you unless you ask.
The next time a collector calls, answer the phone and don’t volunteer any information but politely ask for their mailing address. Then hang up.
Keep in mind that a cease and desist letter may stop calls but it also might accelerate moving your account on for other activities, including legal action.
If the debt is not valid then that can be dealt with. But if the debt is valid and you just want to make them stop contacting you, a cease and desist letter might not be the better thing to do. Annoying calls are a lot better than forcing their hand.
But that’s just my opinion.
Dealing With Debt? Understanding your options is the first step. See how all your debt relief options compare — including ones most sites won’t tell you about. The Find Your Path quiz gives a recommendation based on your actual numbers, and the Scam-O-Meter checks any company’s complaint history before you sign. Federal Reserve research shows bankruptcy filers recover faster than those who don’t file.
