Who is Allied International Credit?
Allied International Credit (UK) Ltd. is one of the UK’s leading contact centre solutions providers and offers a variety of outsourcing and accounts receivable management services. In simpler terms, they are specialists employed to collect debts by a lender that you may still owe money to.
Debt collectors are allowed to contact you by letter, phone or a personal visit to discuss the outstanding account and arrange a suitable repayment solution.
If Allied International sent you a letter, it should detail the information of your debt and their reason for their contact.
They are fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and are a member of the Credit Services Association (CSA).
Why would they contact you?
Allied International Credit is employed to collect outstanding debt on behalf of their clients. If you have failed to make your scheduled payments to a lender that you still owe money to, then they may have passed on the responsibility of collecting what you owe to Allied International.
Other reasons for your creditor to have handed over a debt to a collection agent include:
- If you move house or change banks and forget to update your repayment details
- You’re responsible for the debt of a family member or friend
- You are the point of contact for a debtor who has recently deceased
- You have been contacted about a debt associated with your address but not necessarily to anyone who currently lives there
Do you owe Allied International Credit money?
If you are confident that the debt is no longer active, Allied International Credit isn’t allowed to use undue pressure or expect you to pay it.
To stop their efforts, you will need to provide proof that the debt was paid in full or it wasn’t your responsibility in the first place.
If you do owe them money, but are struggling with your payments, then they should work with you to provide a different and more manageable payment plan. You should never be pressured to make repayments that you cannot afford.
How old is the debt they are collecting?
One of the most common reasons for a debt to be disputed is if it has reached a particular age or has been inactive for over a certain length of time.
These debts are what is known as statute barred. If you think this might apply to your case, then it’s important to flag this to the company in question. Should the debt fall into this category, then you do not have to make any payments and can take your dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Is Allied International Credit treating you unfairly?
The law clearly states the responsible behaviour expected from debt collection agencies. Designed to protect both company and customer, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the industry to ensure everyone is treated fairly and all matters are carried out correctly.
The best way to know if you’ve been mistreated is to check the points below. Have you been:
- Harassed?
- Presented with false information?
- Put under unnecessary pressure to pay money you can’t afford?
- Refused information regarding the debt?
- Pressured into borrowing more money to pay off the existing amount?
These are just a few examples of the sort of action that is thought of as unacceptable behaviour. If you think you have been mistreated make a complaint to both the agency and the FCA; in many cases, you could receive compensation for illegal treatment.
