BokuAka fic recs
@lnsouke asked for some BokuAka recs, so here’s a list of some of my favorite BokuAka fics!
♥ = personal favorite
First of all, literally anything by norio, who’s like THE BokuAka author, but my favorites so far are:
if kisses were fishes, then i'd be an ocean (G | 4.600)
notice me kouhai (G | 4.400)
nine hundred lies (G | 8.400)
the volleyball is beautiful tonight (G | 2.400)
one in a hundred (G | 4.000)
apowlogize (G | 2.300)
Fight! The Exciting Adventures of a High School Girl! The Fire Will Never Die! (G | 1.900 | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun AU)
i put my hand out, unfolded, into the sunlight by carafin G | 3.700
In which Bokuto Kotarou is woefully inept at conveying his feelings, and Akaashi Keiji has a sort-of superpower. Sort of. Next to him, Komi is chewing his cupcake dutifully, albeit with obvious effort. Washio has assumed a completely neutral expression on his face, although Akaashi thinks that his eyes might be watering. Sarukui, having seemingly demolished the entire thing out of sheer willpower alone, looks like he deeply regrets every single choice that has led to this precise moment in his life. ‘It isn’t too bad, huh?’ Bokuto says, grinning. ‘I made them in our school colours, so they’re like, marbled black and white chocolate swirls! Do you guys want more?’ Sarukui looks like he might pass out at the thought alone. Komi pauses mid-chew to shake his head weakly. ‘I’ll have more,’ Akaashi says, to the general astonishment of everyone.
From the text logs of Bokuto Koutarou by koikawa T | 2.800
(To: Keiji) akaashi!!!!! I got a new phone!!! (From: Keiji) Who is this (To: Keiji) it’s your best friend in the whole world!!!! (From: Keiji) Konoha-san?
legs killed the owl by dalyeau T | 1.900
He's not smiling anymore an hour later, after he's fucked up four perfect spikes that Akaashi tossed carefully for him because he's too distracted by the lean, elegant line of Akaashi's legs, kneepads dark against the white of Fukurodani's gym.
third wheel by arsenicjay T | 4.500
"So you and Bokuto, huh?" Akaashi's attention snaps back to Kuroo and he gives the other boy a blank stare. "What about us?" Or, Kuroo figures out that Bokuto is interested in Akaashi long before Bokuto does himself and being the kind friend that he is, tries to help them along.
pink roses for the couple at the back by orphan_account T | 4.800
The first-year, who Kuroo assumed to be Akaashi, seemed to grow more dead inside as the two approached them, and Kuroo couldn’t help the smirk on his face as Fukurodani’s setter patted Akaashi’s shoulder and departed with a pitying, “Good luck, Akaashi-kun.” Akaashi barely looked at him as he dryly said, “Thank you, Uchido-san.” “AGHASHEE!” Kuroo briefly wondered if that was how Bokuto always pronounced his name, then snorted when he saw the first-year close his eyes and mutter a bitter, “Fuck you, Uchido-san.” alternatively: bokuaka is in love but in kuroo's point of view.
our destiny, in ourselves by drifloon G | 6.600
Akaashi was probably thinking about how stupid he was for having said yes to this, a day at the zoo when it wasn’t even that warm yet, March air keeping everyone on their toes. But the sun was out and shining, and for a first date, the weather was good. Not that this was a date, Koutarou quickly corrected himself. Just a last hurrah while they were still teammates. A last chance to see each other before it was all over.
5 tips to get your guy by Mizaaistom G | 5.900 | ♥
Second-year Bokuto gets fantastic dating advice from his sister’s magazines.
Something good can work by choir T | 3.700
“Do you want to date, Akaashi?” The serve that Keiji is about to hit curves and hits Konoha in the back of the head.
idyll by mutterandmumble T | 6.600
In which a risk is taken, a list is made, there’s a piano, and somehow Akaashi gets a boyfriend out of all of it.
Victory Will Be Mine by spadebrigade T | 4.000
"Bokuto-san," Akaashi found himself saying, sweat dripping down his forehead. "If we win this match, I’ll give you a kiss."
Sphoeroides maculatus by himbokuto (hibouu) G | 1.100
Akaashi's plan to boost Bokuto's confidence has unexpected results, but he's not complaining.
desire as your holy fire by blushytobio (blanketkicks) G | 4.900
The five times Bokuto calls Akaashi by his first name. (alternate description: Akaashi’s weaknesses are Bokuto, Bokuto, and Bokuto.)
Red Reed by yuuki T | 5.200
It's Aka-ashi, Keiji wants to say every time Bokuto says his name wrong, not Ah-kashi. He never corrects him. It's easier to study if you don't talk and actually study, Keiji wants to tell Bokuto every time he fails a test. He never tells him. Everything Bokuto does makes Keiji fall in love with him, and there's a lot that Keiji doesn't tell him.
Something to Look Forward To by mousapelli T | 500
Bokuto's a bit clingy, which makes Akaashi curious what he did the whole of his first year.
Right Outside Your Window by hokshi G | 2.100
Akaashi has a frequent visitor in his classroom.
Principles by timkons G | 2.800
Akaashi has a list of Bokuto's weaknesses. Bokuto has a list of Akaashi's principles.
Observing You Observing Me by undercovermartian G | 2.700
Bokuto realizes that he doesn't know Akaashi as much as Akaashi knows him. Bokuto comes to the conclusion that this will not do so he vows to learn everything about Akaashi that he can, using his powers of observation alone. Akaashi is a weirdo and a worrywart.
soft blue by groaninlynch G | 6.000
Koutarou finds a sketchbook that he's never seen before.
Owl Notes by orphan_account T | 8.800 | Bullying and implied self-harm
Bokuto has brought an owl plushie with him to school every day since junior high. One day, while running down the hall, he crashes into someone, and loses it. It makes its way back with a note under its wing, and prompts him to search for the owl's rescuer.
Flaws Upon Your Sleeve by downtownfishies G | 9.400
First Akaashi fell hard for volleyball, which was fine. Then he made the questionable decision of falling for his team's ace.
Lumos of my Life by DeathBelle T | 6.700 | Hogwarts AU
Bokuto knows who Akaashi Keiji is. Everyone knows who Akaashi Keiji is. Bokuto has never spoken to him, but that's by personal choice. He doesn't fancy making a fool of himself. When he and Kuroo get caught sneaking out past curfew by Akaashi himself, who is a fifth-year prefect, Bokuto has no choice but to speak to him. As expected, he kind of makes a fool of himself.
Thermodynamic by Telenovela G | 5.000 | ♥
Heat can be transferred from place to place in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation.
Noctua by Telenovela G | 2.200
Every night before official matches, Bokuto and Akaashi lie side by side on the roof of Akaashi's apartment building and watch the stars together.
Maybe We're Airborne, Baby by fathomfive T | 3.100
Realizing he's got it bad for his setter is the easy part. Getting his feelings across might be the hardest thing Bokuto's ever done, not counting his literature final or putting out the flames on that birthday cake he tried to bake for Akaashi last year, or—or a lot of things, actually. But the point still stands. Reaching out to Akaashi is a leap in the dark, and he wants it more than he's ever wanted anything. He's an expert at seizing his perfect moment, at bringing victory home against the odds. So he's got this, right? It's gonna go great, right? Right? (After all, it's what you attempt with your own two hands that matters.)
wonders that remain by shizuoh T | 2.900
The door swings right open, like Akaashi had been standing there, waiting for him. He hasn't even knocked yet. Oh, jeez. He's going to die. (or: bokuto goes on his first date with the one and only akaashi keiji.)
bitter by silvercistern G | 14.000 | ♥
He accepted his classmate's chocolates gracefully, then declared his lack of interest with as much dignity as he could muster. She deserved the courtesy. At least she'd acknowledged that Valentine's Day was all about her, and not about him in the slightest. Because if any of these girls had taken the time to actually get to know him, they’d quickly realize something even more important than his lack of interest in girls. And that was that Akaashi hated sweets.
Kissing Ace by Karasuno Volleygays (ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor) G | 2.400
It happens right after training camp. Akaashi Keiji has a secret he has guarded since he was a child. He won’t go so far as to call it a fear, but more of an aspect of himself of which he is horribly mortified. No one on the team knows about it, and Akaashi does his best to keep it that way. But years of dodging hugs and casual contact come to naught in the blink of an eye and the swipe of a hand.
A Lesson In Anatomy by Zillyhoo T | 830
Bokuto gets his hands on a label maker, and after filling the dorm with them, he decides to get a little creative with where he starts to place them.
Notes: Bokuto Koutarou by dgalerab T | 8.700 | ♥
Bokuto knows he's a hassle, but he likes to think that Akaashi likes him. Sometimes, he even shows it. Or: 5 times Akaashi showed that he thought highly of Bokuto and 1 time that Bokuto proved he thought just as highly of Akaashi.
Karma by dgalerab T | 9.000
Akaashi pulls a muscle and Bokuto offers to help him with yoga. Akaashi knows a bad idea when he sees it, and he really only agrees because he's suddenly acquired a deeply rooted desire to see Bokuto do yoga. For multiple reasons.

Somewhere between Heaven and Hell
Title: Somewhere between Heaven and Hell
Author: @spn-imagines-nation ; Gwen
Pairing & characters: Archangel!reader, Lucifer, Gabriel, Raphael, Michael, Chuck/God
Word Count: 830
Warnings: none
A/N: Requested by Anonymous (a lot of anonymous), @wholita, @moonyxo
“you said request anything so could i have something like the reader being an archangel and chuck protecting her and the other four please? sorry for bothering you, i imagine you are busy. i love your blog!”
As you all know the request really reminded me of my SPN archangel OC. So I took inspiration in some of her back story to write something about Y/N. Enjoy :)
Summary: Chuck and Lucifer talking about their lost Y/N, an archangel that fell with Lucifer and got lost in her way.
Feedback is always appreciated! ❤ English isn’t our first language, sorry for all the mistakes, be indulgent!
Tumblr media
«She was the bringer of light, said Lucifer facing his father, his eyes full of pain. You said that I was your favorite, that I was the purest, but did you ever looked at her? She was the most magnificent of us all. - You loved her - We all loved her, maybe even more than you.»
A silence grew between the father of all and the fallen. Y/N was a taboo since Lucifer and her collapsed. She was probably the brightest archangel the Lord could ever make, so bright that God himself struggled to see her light. She was the peace bringer of Heaven, a real fighter too. She always defended the abode of God as if she had nothing to lose, and that strength has been a great help during the war against the Darkness. 
«She should have been the one taking the Mark of Cain, she would have resisted it. But you wanted to protect her, every one wanted to protect her. I accepted it. You protected her. And so did I. - I - - I don’t even know what happened to her once she fell. That’s why you left, seeing two of your child falling was too much for you, but it’s all your fault. - I couldn’t face my mistakes.»
Lucifer’s bitter laugh echoed in the room, he was mad, mad at his father. He was also mad at Heaven and all those angels who did nothing but watch while their peace was falling with him into the pit. Her disappearance was a stagnant pain in his heart. He remembered this day too well, the pain was still the same. And he remembered how she stood for him asking Heaven for forgiveness, helping him to escape the death sentence. Instead, he was condemned to banishment which was still too much for Y/N. «- He’s not the problem, the Mark is! We can’t banish him. It’s not his fault! Come on, do something, say something !» He remembered her desperate voice. When God pronounced his banishment, she grabbed him with all her strength hoping he wouldn’t fall but he did, and so did she. They both were frightened and they were grabbing each other to find some kind of comfort. Until he lost her and in a scream he could see her brilliance fading as he got closer to his prison.
«She would have fight for you. - She would have fight for me and for all of us. »
They both knew that she would have fight to keep her brother in the light of God and they both knew that Michael and Raphael would have never agreed with that. Even now Y/N was still missing and Heaven never searched for her. Only one did, Gabriel. In the confusion he escaped to find earth and searched for the lost archangel. 
«You’re a failure as a father and as a God. - I know.»
Chuck knew his only mistake, and he knew Y/N was still alive, that she was one of the rare angels that never forgot her mission and was bringing peace to whom who needed it, in a cruel world where peace was missing. Her wings were still healing from the hard fall, she never really took the time to heal herself, she had no plan of returning to her home either. Her pain was her own, the one of loneliness and peace and she was the best at handling it. Loving and strong she was a treasure to earth and to humankind. She was beautiful, the brightest angel of the universe, and her light was so strong that she blinded all heaven so no one could ever see her again. But he was unable to tell it, to fill in the hole she left, nor to pronounce her name. The secret must be kept, just like Gabriel did when he found her, alive, after hundreds of years of research. A few of her words convinced him, this never have to be spoken. 
«How can you even smile? She is- - Happy… - What? - Nothing.»
Chuck had a vision the day of the fall, one of blood and feathers. If She had fought for him the way she fought the Darkness, no Heaven would have remained. She loved her brothers so much that she could have killed them to protect them, even from themselves. But he couldn’t allow that. And the only way to stop them from killing each other was to separate them. He may have failed as a father and as a God, but like all father in the world he did what he had to do to protect his children. It seemed like the best choice to do, and even if the results were not what he hoped for. The Kingdom of the Lord remained and he knew that one day Y/N will rise again to make Heaven a better place, one that he never could have done alone.

Locals depend on pvt tankers as water scarcity hits Tamil Nadu; E Palaniswami performs down disaster whilst Madras HC slams govt

Rising mercury In its forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday (18-19 June), the India Meterological Division stated warmth wave situation is more likely to prevail at remoted pockets over Tamil Nadu — together with Chennai, Tiruvallur, Vellore, Madurai, Tiruvannamalai, Kanchipuram, Cuddalore, Villupuram, Nagapattinam, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Karu and Tiruchirapalli districts — and Puducherry. The hovering temperature within the area is providing no respite for the perturbed locals. Individuals and industrial institutions have been compelled to depend upon water equipped by way of tankers from villages in neighbouring districts. With Chennai Metrowater being unable to satisfy all calls for, the residents are actually relying on personal water tanker operators. “We’ve to face in a queue for hours underneath this scorching warmth to fetch some water as borewells within the space have gone dry. That is for the third time in a row that Chennai is going through a extreme water disaster,” an area informed ANI. “More often than not, the water we get from these hand pumps cannot be used for consuming because it stinks. For consuming and cooking, now we have to purchase water from the outlets.” Madras HC pulls up state govt Whereas listening to a plea on Tuesday, the Madras Excessive Courtroom pulled up the Tamil Nadu authorities for the intense mismanagement of the water sources. The News Minute reported that the bench lashed out on the AIADMK authorities for severe mismanagement of water sources and ready until the final minute to unfold consciousness about rainwater harvesting. The response got here after the Chennai Metrowater Provide and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) submitted an in depth report which stated that the water provide to Chennai had lowered from 830 MLD to 525 MLD from 1 June, 2017, because of much less rainfall that 12 months. The excessive court docket then ordered Public Works Division to gather details about the orders issued to districts on encroachments and desilting of water our bodies. The following listening to might be held on 27 June. IT firms, hospitality trade deal with scenario Data Know-how firms in state largely rely on personal water tankers to satisfy the calls for for his or her day-to-day operations.

PTI quoted trade sources as saying that fairly a couple of prime firms alongside Outdated Mahabalipuram Street, often known as the ‘IT hall’, and the Siruseri IT Park had verbally requested workers to work at home. “Whereas some groups that are required for taking on everyday operations have been requested to come back to workplace”, many others, together with software program professionals, have been assigned ‘work at home responsibility’, an worker of an IT main in suburban Sholinganallur stated. A report printed on 14 June by India Today additional claimed that almost 5,000 IT workers had been informed to work at home. Nonetheless, the federal government has rejected a direct hyperlink between the water concern and the staff working from residence. The hospitality trade can also be amongst these hit arduous by the disaster. A number of eating places and eateries are coping with the scenario by deciding to cease offering full South Indian lunch meals and urging prospects to preserve water, based on stories. Deccan Herald quoted Chennai Inns Affiliation president M Ravi as saying final week that about 20 % of the eating places had been downing their shutters for 3 to 4 days due to the disaster. “Extended ready time for water and exorbitant pricing are forcing homeowners to close their outlets for a couple of days leading to enormous loss. If the scenario is just not contained, greater than 50% eating places must down their shutters by subsequent week,” he had stated. What is the govt doing? The state authorities has accused the Opposition and the media of blowing up the problem. Chief Minister EK Palaniswami on Tuesday claimed the problem was not as massive as was being made out, particularly within the media.

The extreme drought and poor monsoon (within the earlier years) has led to depletion in groundwater ranges.” “However consuming water is being equipped by way of tankers. Persons are utilizing this water to even wash garments,” he stated. Palaniswami had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday to in search of monetary help for water conservation. In the meantime, DMK chief MK Stalin has demanded Velumani’s resignation for the state’s incapability to unravel the approaching water disaster within the state. Velumani’s failure is behind the consuming water disaster confronted by the individuals in Chennai and different elements of Tamil Nadu…. If he fails to resign, I urge the chief minister to dismiss him from his publish. The individuals of Tamil Nadu too count on solely that,” he had stated final week.

Indonesia rushes aid to Sulawesi as death toll from quake, tsunami passes 830
PALU, Indonesia (Reuters) – Indonesian authorities scrambled on Monday to get aid and rescue equipment into quake-hit Sulawesi island, and prepared to bury some of the more than 800 dead, while shaken survivors streamed out of the area in search of food and shelter.
The confirmed death toll of 832 looked certain to rise as rescuers slowly reached devastated outlying communities hit on Friday by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami waves as high as six meters (20 feet).
Dozens of people were reported to be trapped in the rubble of several hotels and a mall in the small city of Palu, 1,500 km (930 miles) northeast of Jakarta, with hundreds more feared buried in landslides that engulfed villages.
President Joko Widodo told reporters in Jakarta getting those people out was a priority.
“The evacuation is not finished yet, there are many places where the evacuation couldn’t be done because of the absence of heavy equipment, but last night equipment started to arrive in Palu,” Widodo said.
“We’ll send as much food supplies as possible today with Hercules planes, directly from Jakarta, there are several,” he said, referring to C-130 military transport aircraft.
The national search and rescue agency said one woman was rescued overnight in the Palu neighborhood of Balaroa, where houses were swallowed up when the earthquake caused soil liquefaction.
Most of the confirmed deaths were in Palu, a city of about 380,000 people, where authorities were preparing a mass grave to bury some of the dead as soon as they were identified.
However, nearly three days after the quake, the extent of the disaster has yet to be made clear with authorities bracing for the death toll to climb sharply – perhaps into the thousands – as connections with remote areas up and down the coast are restored.
Of particular concern is Donggala, a region of 300,000 people north of Palu and close to the epicenter of the quake, and two other districts, which have been cut off from communications since Friday.
Along with Palu, these districts have a combined population of about 1.4 million.
Five foreigners – three French, one South Korean and one Malaysian – were among the missing.
Sulawesi is one of the earthquake-prone archipelago nation’s five main islands and sits astride fault lines. Numerous aftershocks have rattled the region.

FUEL AND RICE
Footage of the ruined city of Palu showed a crumpled mess of houses, cars and trees mashed together, with rooftops and roads split asunder.
Officials say rescuers need heavy equipment to shift slabs of broken concrete but access to many areas has been hampered by damaged roads, landslides and collapsed bridges.
A Reuters witness said queues at petrol stations on the approaches to Palu stretched for kilometers. Convoys carrying food, water and fuel headed towards the city while a stream of residents headed out.
The state energy company said it was airlifting in 4,000 liters of fuel, while Indonesia’s logistics agency said it would send hundreds of tonnes of rice.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said the government had allocated 560 billion rupiah ($37.58 million) for disaster recovery, media reported.
Military aircraft were sent to bring people out of Palu, where crowds were waiting at the airport, military official Bambang Sudewo told Metro TV.
“All military planes are deployed to support this,” he said. It was hoped up to 1,500 people could be taken out every day, with children, women and the injured the priority, he said.
Indonesia, which sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, is all too familiar with earthquakes and tsunamis. A quake off Sumatra island in 2004 triggered a tsunami across the Indian Ocean that killed 226,000 people in 13 countries, including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.
Questions are sure to be asked why warning systems set up after that disaster appear to have failed on Friday, and why more people in coastal areas had not moved to higher ground after a big quake, even in the absence of an official warning.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, told reporters on Sunday none of Indonesia’s tsunami buoys, one type of instrument used to detect the waves, had been operating since 2012. He blamed a fall-off in funding.
The meteorological and geophysics agency BMKG issued a tsunami warning after the quake but lifted it 34 minutes later, drawing criticism it had been too hasty.
However, officials estimated the waves had hit while the warning was in force.
The head of Indonesia’s investment board said on Twitter Widodo had agreed to accept international help and he would coordinate private sector help from around the world.
Neighbors including Australia, Thailand and China have offered help, while the European Union announced 1.5 million euros ($1.74 million) in immediate aid.

If you want to know just how unhappy consumers are with Allied Interstate take a look at the number of lawsuits filed against Allied Interstate on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”).  PACER is the federal docket throughout the country that lists federal complaints filed against Allied Interstate When you do a search for Allied Interstate there are over 1000 lawsuits filed against Allied Interstate.  Most of these lawsuits involve consumer rights’ violations.
Allied Interstate Harassment
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) is a federal law that applies to everyone in the United States.  In other words, everyone is protected under the FDCPA.  The FDCPA is a laundry list of what Allied Interstate can and cannot do while collecting a debt, as well as things debt collectors must do while collecting a debt.  If Allied Interstate is harassing you over a debt, you have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (“EFTA”) protects electronic payments that are deducted from bank accounts.  If Allied Interstate took unauthorized deductions from your bank account, you may have an EFTA claim.  Allied Interstate like most collection agencies, wants to set up reoccurring payments from consumers.  Imagine how much money Allied Interstate gets if hundreds, if not thousands, of consumers electronically pay them $50-$100, or more, per month.  If you agreed to this type of reoccurring payment, Allied Interstate must follow certain steps to comply with the EFTA.  Did Allied Interstate continue to take electronic payments after you said stop?  Did Allied Interstate take more money from your checking account than you agreed to?  If so, let’s talk about your rights under the EFTA.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) works to ensure that no information reported to your credit report is false.  In essence, it gives you the right to dispute those inaccuracies that you find on your credit report.  We handled a lot of cases recently where Allied Interstate reported debt on a consumer’s credit report.  Allied Interstate likely reports on credit reports to obtain greater leverage over the consumer.  If Allied Interstate is on your credit report, they may tell you if you pay the debt, they’ll remove it from your credit report.  This is commonly known as pay for delete.  You pay Allied Interstate and they delete the debt from your credit report.  Even if Allied Interstate not on your credit report, maybe the original creditor is.  If you pay off the debt to Allied Interstate then the original creditor, and Allied Interstate should accurately report this on your credit report.
Several states also have laws that provide its citizens an additional layer of protection.  For example, if you live in California, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, or Pennsylvania you may be able to tack on a state-law claim with your federal law claim above.  North Carolina, for example, has one of the most consumer-friendly statutes in the country.  If you live in NC, and you’re harassed over a debt, you may get $500.00 – $4,000.00 in damages per violation.  We work with a local counsel in NC.  Our NC clients have received some great results in debt collection harassment cases.  If you live in NC, and Allied Interstate is harassing you, you have tons of leverage to get a great settlement.
HOW CAN WE USE THE LAW TO HELP YOU?
We will use state and federal laws to immediately stop Allied Interstate debt collection.  We will send a cease and desist letter to get the harassment to stop the same day.  If Allied Interstate violates the FDCPA, EFTA, FCRA, or any state laws, you may be entitled to money damages.  For example, under the FDCPA, you can get up $1,000.00 in damages plus actual damages.  The FDCPA has a fee-shift provision.  This means, Allied Interstate pays our attorney’s fees and costs.
THAT’S NOT ALL…
We have helped hundreds of consumers stop phone calls from Allied Interstate We know how to stop the harassment and get you money damages.  ONCE AGAIN, you will not pay us a penny for our time.  We will help you based on a fee-shift provision and/or based on a contingency fee. That means, Allied Interstate pays our attorney’s fees and costs.
What If Allied Interstate Is On My Credit Report?
Based on our experience, Allied Interstate does credit report.  That means, Allied Interstate will mark your credit report with the debt they are trying to collect on.  In addition to ALLIED INTERSTATE the original creditor may be on your credit report.  For example, if you owe Republic Bank and Trust on an elastic line of credit, and Allied Interstate is collecting on it, both Republic Bank and Trust and Allied Interstate may have separate entries on your credit report.  This is important because you will want both parties to update your credit report if you pay off the debt.
THE GOOD NEWS IS…
If Allied Interstate is on your credit report, we can help you dispute it.  Mistakes on your credit report can be very costly.  Along with causing you to pay higher interest rates, you may be denied credit, insurance, a rental home, a loan, or even a job because of these mistakes.  Some mistakes may include someone else’s information on your credit report, inaccurate public records, stale collection accounts, or maybe you were a victim of identity theft. If you have a mistake on your credit report, there is a process to dispute them.  My office will help you pull your credit report and dispute any inaccurate information.
REMEMBER…
If a credit reporting agency violates its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), you may be entitled to statutory damages up to $1,000.00, plus the credit reporting agency will be required to fix the error.  The FCRA also has a fee-shift provision.  This means, the credit reporting agency pays your attorney’s fees and costs.  Therefore, you will not pay me a penny for my time.  We have helped dozens of consumers fix inaccurate information on their credit reports.
Complaints against Allied Interstate

Here are some of the many BBB complaints regarding Allied Interstate
“I’ve been receiving several calls a day every day for several weeks from this business. They’ve attempted to collect a non-existent debt from me (a debt I disputed and had removed from my credit). I’ve told them to stop calling me “
“[Allied Interstate] calls with incorrect information. They will not tell you there information, what they do, and keep calling the wrong person with my number. They are completely rude, have no credibility, and I don’t understand how they are in business.”
“This company calls me repeatedly. I own no money and they clearly have a wrong number, but they persist.”
Reviews and complaints on ConsumerAffairs.Com do not get any better for Allied Interstate. Allied Interstate has a one star average on Consumer Affairs  Here’s what people on Consumer Affairs have to say about Allied Interstate “
“I keep getting robocalls on my answering machine, while I’m at work, from Allied Interstate LLC regarding a delinquent bill. I have no delinquent bills. They leave a number that cuts off before the last digit. I found the last digit online. This is pure harassment.”
“Keep getting robocalls from these people from 830 AM up to 6 PM most days. We have no Delinquent obligations and perfect credit. Tried to call the number and only get a busy signal. Want it to stop, but can’t seem to get them to.
I don’t know how Allied Interstate LLC got my phone number. They have called me asking for somebody else. I told them I don’t know who that person is, but they kept calling.
Every day, at precisely 8:30 am, I get a robocall from Allied Interstate LLC regarding a delinquent bill. I have no delinquent bills. They leave a number that cuts off before the last digit. I looked them up online and found a site where I could leave them a message that I am the wrong person and to stop calling. So far, it hasn’t worked.”
Although there are only eleven reviews on Google, they are just as bad. Allied Interstate has a mere 1.4 star average on Google. Here’s a snippet of the reviews on Google:
“Horrible company! Extremely rude and harassing.”
“[Allied Interstate added] a false report to my credit report without even contacting me… no letters, no calls, so how are they collecting debt i don’t have?”
“Initially they would call and just hang up when I answered. When I called them back, they said they were calling for someone who has never lived here. When I asked the nature of their business they would only give their name and say it was a personal call.”
Cases We Have Handled Against Allied Interstate
I THINK YOU’LL AGREE WITH ME WHEN I SAY…
Threats and harassment by collection agencies can be pretty intimidating.  Well, it turns out we can stop the harassment, attempt to get you money damages under the law, and the collection agency will have to pay us our fees and costs.  Here are some of the cases we’ve handled against Allied Interstate
Mark L. v. Allied Interstate. In this case, Allied Interstate called our client on his cell phone. Allied Interstate was attempting to collect on an alleged debt originating from a federal student loan. In or around January 2015, Allied Interstate began placing collection calls to our client’s work telephone. Allied Interstate called from 763-400-3498, which is one of their numbers. During one call with Allied Interstate, our client was told he needed to set up a payment plan or pay the balance in full or his wages would be garnished. Allied Interstate did not inform our client that he had a right to dispute the debt. Since our client lives in Texas, we alleged that Allied Interstate violated both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Texas Debt Collection Practices Act.
Betty H. v. Allied Interstate. In this case our client began receiving collection calls around September 2016. The calls were from 716-515-0088, among other numbers. On October 3, 2016, our client answered a call from Allied Interstate and told the representative to stop calling. Despite our client’s requests, Allied Interstate continued to call and harass her. In this instance we alleged that Allied Interstate violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Natalie L. v. Allied Interstate. In this case, Allied Interstate was collecting on a debt arising from a Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan serviced by Educational Credit Management Corporation (“ECMC”).  In September, 2014, ECMC sent Plaintiff a Notice that her wages were going to be garnished beginning October 18, 2014. Allied Interstate was aware that our client’s wages were being garnished but despite their awareness, began collection attempts on the same debt. Allied Interstate called our client, her brother, and her boss. Allied Interstate told our client that if she did not make additional payments to them that they would ruin her credit, force her to lose her vehicle, file a lawsuit against her and issue a warrant for her arrest. Our client told Allied Interstate to stop calling on numerous occasions but despite her requests they continued to place collection calls unabated. In this case we alleged that Allied Interstate violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Here’s What Our Clients Say about Us
Agruss Law Firm, LLC, has over 630 outstanding client reviews through Yotpo, an A+ BBB rating, and over 100 five-star reviews on Google. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about us.
“Agruss Law Firm did a great job for me. They stopped the unwarranted calls to my cell, made sure the collection agency understood the debt had already been paid and then made them pay for harassing me. I was kept informed and now better understand Agruss Law Firm is someone I can trust. Thank you and I appreciate the great job and service.”
I had the best help from all the people at Agruss Law Firm LLC. They were all so kind and answered all my question and stopped the harassment calls i was getting.”
“Hiring this company was the best decision I have ever made. Not only am I pleased with the outcome. I am also pleased with the customer service.”
Can Allied Interstate Sue You?
Although anyone can sue anyone for any reason, we have never seen Allied Interstate sue consumers.  It’s likely Allied Interstate does not sue because they do not always own the debt they are collecting on.  Also, Allied Interstate would have to hire a lawyer, or use in-house counsel, to file a lawsuit.  It’s likely Allied Interstate collects debts through the entire country.  Therefore, it would be very difficult to have lawyers, or a law firm, licensed in every state.  There are collection agencies that do sue consumers.  For example, Midland Credit Management is one of the largest junk-debt buyers.  Midland Credit Management collects on debt and also sues on debt.  The opposite is true with Allied Interstate Therefore, it would be very unusual if Allied Interstate sued you.  The original creditor, on the other hand, may hire a collection firm, or lawyer, to sue you.  If Allied Interstate has threatened to sue you, call us.  We can help.
Can Allied Interstate Garnish Your Wages?
No, not unless they have a judgment.  If Allied Interstate has not sued you, then Allied Interstate cannot get a judgment.  If Allied Interstate does not have a judgment, then Allied Interstate cannot garnish your wages.  Minus limited situations (usually dealing with debts owed to the government for student loans, taxes, etc.), in order to garnish someone’s wages, you need a judgment first.  In short, we have not seen Allied Interstate file a lawsuit against a consumer.  So, Allied Interstate cannot garnish your wages, minus the exceptions listed above.  If Allied Interstate has threatened to garnish your wages, contact our office right away.
Allied Interstate Settlement
If you want to settle a debt with Allied Interstate, ask yourself these questions first:
Do I really owe this debt?
Is this debt within the statute of limitations?
Is this debt on my credit report?
If I pay this debt, will Allied Interstate remove it from my credit report?
If I pay this debt, will the original creditor remove it from my credit report?
If I pay this debt, will I get something in writing from Allied Interstate confirming the payment and settlement terms?
These are not the only things to consider when dealing with debt collectors.  We are here to help you answer the questions above, and much more.  Whether its harassment, settlement, pay for delete, or any other legal issue with ALLIED INTERSTATE Management, the folks at Agruss Law Firm are here to help you.

SKINNY GUT shake QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS
The company never actually says that Skinny Gut Shake for weight loss would be reliable; they only say it is low calories and has a host of different nutrients. They call it Skinny Gut but they fail to give much more insights other than that claim of weight loss.
While this shake does have an assortment of organic ingredient and a high amount of protein, it would have been best if they added whey protein, and if they skimped out on the unnecessary enzymes which the body either already produces, or which can possibly lead to side effects.
THE PRICE AND QUALITY OF SKINNY GUT shake
Prices can vary for example if you search for Skinny Gut Shake Walmart it sells for cheap than the official website at $26.24 per 14.5 oz. container.  They offer only 10 servings per container, so if taken at just one ca day this lasts 10 days only.
There is 0 grams of sugar which is good, and the calories are about equal to other shakes. There is 40% of the daily value of fiber which for some may be too much, as this is a high amount that can lead to an increase of bowel movements. When taking this much fiber in one sitting it is important to maintain steady fluid intake to help the digestive process, otherwise it may lead to stomach related side effects.
A concern also lies in the protein used as they add plant based forms of protein. This is often made with many kinds of different forms as by themselves these plant based protein would not provide the necessary amino acids that the body needs.

REVIEWS OF SKINNY GUT shake
Here are reviews which were found online:
“This just tastes awful…  The container is also way too huge for what is offered; they make it seem big but there are so little provided”
“If somehow you can bare the taste then you’ll have no problem losing weight since you can do anything”
“Very grainy and the flavor is not good at all. I didn’t experience any appetite suppression nor did it provide me with any energy”
“This is gritty but it is easy to digest”
Some users were disappointed there were no Skinny Gut Shake recipes online. There were also issues with Skinny Gut Shake results, as some mentioned they felt there were no benefits from it.
