AIC Debt Collectors and the Truth About Your Debt

AIC Debt Collectors is a debt purchasing agent which has purchased a delinquent account from the original lender (or in some cases another debt collector) for about 10 percent or less of the original value and is brazenly attempting to recover the full value from you.

AIC Debt Collectors will use all sorts of nasty methods to get you to set up a standing order or direct debit so that they can profit from your misery. You may have already experienced bad and terrifying experiences of them. They may phone you when they know it is inconvenient or even embarrassing for you and do this lots of times. They may write official appearing sternly drafted letters threatening to come round to collect the amount in full or that they will take you to court if you cannot pay. Other tactics may include attempting to make a charging order on your property or in some way cause you great personal suffering.

So ask AIC Debt Collectors 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.

More Data On AIC Debt Collectors

These people are scumbags. Looking through the various consumer forums I find many references to AIC Debt Collectors by people who are sometimes suicidal. They seem to be specialists in sending speculative threatening letters to people who do not owe anything at all to anyone.

From the excellent Consumer Action Group forums:

Hi, thought I would post this incase any of you are having dealings with this Glasgow based DCA.

Allied International Credit (UK) Ltd, or AIC Debt Collectors , are not very competent. Which we all know is a pre-requisite for being a DCA.

Yesterday [my partner] rec'd a card stating that AIC Debt Collectors client (in this case LLoyds), has informed them that full payment must be made immediately.

Then, on the same day as receiving the card, I receive a phone call asking [my partner] to call them urgently on a "personal business matter".
I advised AIC Debt Collectors that [my partner] was made BR by their client in May 07.
They say "I know, but we still need to speak to him"
Well actually AIC, you are unable to speak with [my partner] , as [my partner] has no debts, and does not owe you or your client any money, and is not allowed to discuss this or any other matter with you: MUPPETS.

Would have loved this one to go to court....sadly, don't think it will get to court as [my partner] phoned them back, and was a tad sarcastic, and they hung up on him.

So if any of you receive anything from AIC Debt Collectors- dont panic. Think they need to learn how to do their job properly!!!

Another about AIC Debt Collectors from a contributor to CAG forums:

I had a tesco credit card was out of work and subsequently got into a mess with the payments.. the debt was passed to [AIC Debt Collectors]. who having made all the usual threats.. they said they could force me to sell my home to pay off the debt.. £900?! take me to court.. send the bailiffs round..etc...all this time I was offering them what I could afford and not refusing to pay!! they finally agreed to payments of £20 per month.. I have made regular payments each month but they have started ringing me at work. I have asked them not to, (my boss is my partner and doesn't know about this debt) but they persist.. are they allowed to do this?

Well, no they're not. But you must tell them so in writing. And if they continue to bother you then they are in breach of the law (Administration of Justice Act 1970 as well as others).

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