What is Allied Recovery Solutions?

If you owe money to an insurance carrier based on a previous claim (for example, from an automotive accident or a medical procedure), you may be contacted by Allied Recovery Solutions.

Allied Recovery Solutions collects debts on behalf of various insurers, including:
- Property & casualty carriers

- Reinsurance companies
- Self-insured entities
- State municipalities
- Commercial accounts 1
Is Allied Recovery Solutions a legitimate company?
Yes, Allied Recovery Solutions is a legitimate company. They have been incorporated in New York since 2007. Although they are a legitimate business, Allied Recovery Solutions may still use unethical tactics to collect debts. Allied Recovery Solutions claims their collectors are “experienced, aggressive and determined to recover every dollar possible.” 2
As Allied Recovery Solutions only receives payment after your debts have been successfully collected, you may be contacted aggressively until your debts are settled. Furthermore, a class action lawsuit was brought against Allied Recovery Solutions in 2019 for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by not providing sufficient information in their debt verification letters. 2
Be careful when answering phone calls from Allied Recovery Solutions, understand your right to not be harassed, and don’t send any payments until you’ve received a legitimate debt validation letter.
