Allied International Credit Debt Collecting and the Truth About Your Debt

Allied International Credit Debt Collecting is a debt collecting agency which has purchased the debtor account from the original creditor, often a bank for pennies on the pound and is brazenly attempting to get the full sum of the original debt from you.

Allied International Credit Debt Collecting will use all sorts of nasty methods to extort money out of you in order to profit from your ignorance of the law. You may already have had bad dealings with them. They may phone you at strange times when they know it is inconvenient for you and do this many times every day. They may send you official-looking sternly worded letters or cards threatening to send someone round and collect the full amount or take you to court for the full amount. Their other tactics may include saying that they will make a charging order on your property or in some way bring about your destitution.

So ask Allied International Credit Debt Collecting for a copy of the original contract when you took out your loan or credit card.

Even better, start an unenforceable credit agreement application enquiry. It costs nothing to do this and you are protected by the consumer credit laws. Click here for the unenforceable contract application form.

To find out if you qualify for an IVA or can benefit from a debt management programme, try the IVA Test. It's free to apply, and again you are protected by the consumer laws regarding debt management at all stages. Click here to go to the application form.

More Data On Allied International Credit Debt Collecting

My thanks to the excellent Consumer Action Group forums for these extracts:

Just to say I have had several (ignored) robot computer calls from Allied International Credit Debt Collecting in the last few days, they are ignoring my CCA letter from about a month ago, whats the next step, I am a bit worried about doing nothing, 'head in sand' theory, do we have a reply to failing the CCA?

If it's gone 12 working days then they have breached CCA and the debt is now in dispute so they can't pursue until CCA produced. After the 12 working days if they don't produce CCA within 30 extra days ( not working days just normal ) then they have committed a criminal offence.

It sounds as if your 12 days is well past but poss not the extra 30. If you sent your original request recorded delivery & kept a copy you have no need to remind them of their obligations under CCA regs. Sit tight!

If they then start pursuing you again you can approach your local trading stds. I would also recommend a complaint to the OFT.

Response: They also seem keen on using that auto-dialling software that is a plague to most people in this position. I recommend blocking their phone number by using BT's Choose To Refuse service, or the equivalent from your own telecoms provider if it is not BT.

If you have any information that you would like honest people to know about Allied International Credit Debt Collecting then send us an email in complete confidence and we will try to corroborate it with the clowns involved.
