Allied Credit Debt Collection Agents and
the Truth About Your Debt

Allied Credit Debt
Collection Agents is a debt collecting company
which has bought the delinquent account from the original creditor,
usually a bank (or in some cases another debt purchaser) for pennies
on the pound and is attempting to recover the full value from you.
Allied Credit Debt
Collection Agents will use all sorts of nasty methods to extort money
out of you in order to make money from you. You may already have experienced
bad dealings with them on the phone. They may call you when they know
it is inconvenient or even embarrassing for you and do so several times
every day. They may write official appearing nastily worded letters
or cards threatening to send people round to collect the amount in full
or take you to court if you cannot pay. Other strategies may involve
attempting a charging order on your home or in some way bring about
your homelessness or destitution.
So ask Allied Credit Debt Collection Agents
for a copy of the original contract when you took out your loan or credit
card.
Even better, start
an unenforceable
credit agreement application here. If you want to check, in addition,
missold PPI and recover all the credit card charges you've paid over
the last 6 years (plus 8% interest) it costs an upfront fee of only
£99 for a full audit to see what you're entitled to. Click

Data On Allied Credit Debt Collection Agents
My
thanks to the excellent Consumer Action Group forums for these extracts
on Allied Credit:
Another instance
where a recorded telephone call would have been really helpful.
If someone
had said "I'm going to get you" like that to me on the phone,
I would bypass Trading Standards and go straight to the Police. Even
if you didn't do that TS would almost certainly be interested. Do
you know if this company [Allied Credit Debt Collection Agents] routinely
records telephone conversations? If they do it might be worth sending
them a SARN [Subject Access Request] and asking for a recording/ transcript
of that conversation.
Our Response:
I thinking just asking for that would not do any good. They'd just
lie. That's what they do.
If
you have any information that you would like honest people to know
about Allied Credit Debt Collection Agents then send us an email in
complete confidence and we will try to corroborate it with the clowns
involved.
