Hello,

I received a call from someone saying they were from Allied Interstate, it sound like he was calling from was from a Indian call center because of his heavy accent. The person called when I was at work and called me on my company phone, he asked for me by my first name only and would only identify himself as Mohammad from Allied Interstate. I asked him who he was, why he was calling and who he was wanting to speak with. He said again he was looking for me (first name only), if I was living in a city in Washington State ( I am not, live in Alaska) and that he would explain more after I said I was so in so and living in Washington State. I told him no, explain to me now who you are and what you want, he said thank you and hung up.

I am sure they are calling for a debt from the mid 90's that use to be handled by Portfolio Recovery, I believe the debt was for around $400. Like I said, the debt is from the mid 90's and Portfolio Recovery use to send me stuff in the mail every once in the while about it.

The question I have is this: My credit scores are now in the low/mid 700's on all three reporting agency and I want to keep them that way. I have worked really hard to get my scores from the 500's to where they are now. Can this company do something on a debt that is over 15 years old to reflect negatively on my credit reports? Thanks for any help in advance...............
