Complaint What Happened |
I received a letter from Allied International Credit Corp. dated XX/XX/2020, stating that they are " a debt collector '' attempting to " collect a debt. '' They list the creditor as XXXX and cite an Account Number XXXX******, Reference Number XXXX. The amount they claim owed is {$780.00}.
I have accessed my XXXX account and have ascertained that my account balance is XXXX ( {$000.00} ). I can find nothing suggesting that I am indebted to XXXX at this time, and in fact have not purchased anything through XXXX for several weeks.
The company lists its address as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA. XXXX. Telephone # XXXX. ( They furthermore provide an address at Department # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX PA. XXXX. I am not sure why the Pennsylvania address is pertinent, for they indicate that I should send my check to the former address. ) In addition, the letter states that I should contact " XXXX XXXX '' to discuss payment options. Phone # is as above.
A XXXX search indicates that many people have received similar letters from this company. The letters seek payment in varied amounts.

Complaint What Happened |
Allied International Credit Corp sent a letter claiming I owed {$50.00} on an XXXX account and asking for payment. They claim previous attempts to resolve the issue, but it 's the first I 've heard of it.. They provide no details of the alleged transaction, and in fact I 've never used XXXX. It seems like a scam.

Complaint What Happened |
I had an XXXX account that was semi-dormant, items listed ( they remain listed until sold ) but nothing sold and no reason to login. This was also in 2021 when XXXX changed it's payment policies that any NEW listings required a bank account but I opted not to do that and keep XXXX on the existing listings as I did not want my banking information on their site.
My XXXX account was hacked and without my knowledge the hacker listed 2 watches for sale. They also attached their own bank account to the account and sold both watches. Then got the payout by XXXX. I only noticed when I received an email communication from XXXX about an upset buyer not receiving their watch. I discovered the fraudulent listings and using XXXX messaging system replied to the buyer telling them it was a fraudulent listing and to dispute the transaction. I also noticed that there was a foreign bank account attached to my account which I could not remove from the account as it required me to replace it with another to do so, which I wasn't about to do.
I contacted XXXX via live chat twice, finally directed to a different account via phone. I called at least twice, maybe three times being bounced around. Eventually, they said they would take care of it so I left it go. However, at no point in time did they remove this bank account from the account. I told them repeatedly it was not mine and they should get the money back. They said they would take care of it so there was nothing more for me to do at this point and it was in their hands.
Here 's an excerpt from one of the webchats, " Here 's what I did, I have successfully submitted a request for fee credit adjustment. Please wait 24-48 hrs for processing, after this, you'll receive an email notification for the credit adjustment. '' Then later, not sure how many months later, I started receiving emails from XXXX the transaction fees which are a % of the sold products which was in the thousands of dollars. I was upset because they were supposed to take care of this. Then they suspended the account, no biggy as nothing was really selling/being sold. Then after 2 years since the event they sent it to a collections company.
Upset, I have once again live chat with XXXX which they couldn't help but was directed again to phone to their Account Services who could. Well after calling them, they couldn't and said they would escalate the issue to a different team. Interestingly enough when talking to them they asked about the STILL attached hackers bank account. The next day I received an email that the problem for which I was contacting was not addressed by them and I needed to talk to Account Services who I had just talked to. Ugh! XXXX has had ample warnings and notifications to take care of this yet contacting them only leads in a circle of emails, live chat, and phone calls with absolutely no ownership. They could have easily canceled the transaction when this was reported and given those folks their money back since XXXX should hold those funds in escrow. Unfortunately XXXX probably also hurt those buyers out of tens of thousands of dollars while letting this hacker get away with it.

Complaint What Happened |
On XX/XX/2020, I received a letter of intent to collect a debt from Allied International Credit Corp. ( US ). Their address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX VA XXXX. They state that I have acquired a debt with XXXX in the amount of {$95.00}, but I do not have and have never had an XXXX account. I looked at my credit information via XXXX XXXX and found no negative information there as I have no established credit. Additionally, there are no negative inquiries to my credit and no record of this debt on it.
Further research into this company led me to a thread on the XXXX community forum where it was recommended that I file a complaint with this institution.
I have not contacted this company and refuse to do so as I have not accrued this debt nor have I had any accounts to my knowledge with XXXX. Further, the XXXX forum thread stated not to contact them directly.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Date ] To : Allied International Credit Corp. ( XXXX ) Headquarters : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Registered Agent in NY : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX in NY : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX Headquarters XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Registered Agent in NY : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX New York XXXX NY XXXX XXXX Headquarters : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX Agent in NY : XXXX XXXX System, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX New York XXXX NY XXXX XXXX Headquarters XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX Registered Agent in NY : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX : Request for Restitution for Violations and Misconduct in Credit Reporting and Collection Practices Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to formally address the ongoing issue related to CFPB Complaint XXXX, filed on XX/XX/2023. The core of this complaint involves attempts by Allied International Credit Corp. ( XXXX ), on behalf of XXXX XXXX, to collect a debt that I do not owe. Despite several attempts to resolve this matter directly with the company, the issue remains unresolved.
Nature of the Complaint On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) received an account under the name XXXX XXXX from their client XXXX. A notification letter was sent to the address on file. On XX/XX/2023, I lodged a complaint with the CFPB, prompting the company to cease collection efforts while the account was reviewed by XXXX.
Key Findings and Violations Allied International Credit Corp. ( XXXX ) : XXXX. Attempts to Collect Debt Not Owed : Despite notifying Allied International Credit Corp. ( XXXX ) that I do not owe this debt and requesting verification, they continued to pursue collection. This violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which mandates that debt collectors must cease collection activities until they provide verification of the debt.
Violation : FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) 2. Inadequate Verification : Allied International Credit CorpXXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX provided invoices and a user agreement but failed to substantiate the legitimacy of the debt adequately, failing to meet the verification standards required under FDCPA.
Violation : FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) XXXX XXXX : XXXX. Failure to Provide Sufficient Evidence : XXXX confirmed that there was insufficient evidence of an Account Takeover or Identity Theft, but did not adequately verify the legitimacy of the debt, leading to ongoing collection attempts.
Violation : FDCPA, for failure to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the debt being collected.
XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX : XXXX. Failure to Conduct Reasonable Investigation : Upon notification of a dispute, these agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation. The persistence of the erroneous debt information on my credit report indicates a failure to adhere to this requirement.
Violation : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i 2. Lack of Timely Correction : The agencies are obligated to correct or delete inaccurate information within 30 days of receiving notice of the dispute. The failure to do so within this timeframe represents a breach of FCRA regulations.
Violation : FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i Request for Restitution Given the violations outlined above, I am requesting the following : XXXX. Immediate Cessation of Collection Activities : Allied International Credit Corp. ( XXXX ) must cease all collection activities related to this account.
XXXX. Correction of Credit Reports : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX must remove any reference to this erroneous debt from my credit reports.
XXXX. Monetary Compensation : I seek compensation for damages incurred due to these violations, including but not limited to : Emotional distress and inconvenience caused by the predatory collection practices : {$5000.00}.
Potential impact on my credit score and the resultant financial consequences : {$10000.00}.
Legal costs and fees : {$2000.00}.
Total Compensation Requested : {$17000.00}.
Supporting Documentation Attached to this letter are the following documents for your review : Financial statements from XXXX detailing the transactions and fees associated with the disputed account.
Correspondence and response letters from Allied International Credit Corp. ( US ).
The user agreement from XXXX outlining the terms of account creation and usage.
Case Law and Precedents This situation is supported by various case laws where debt collectors and credit reporting agencies were held liable for failing to verify debts and correct inaccurate credit information : Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) - This statute requires debt collectors to cease collection efforts until they provide verification of the debt.
Fair Credit Reporting Act : 15 U.S.C. 1681i - This statute mandates that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation and correct inaccurate information within 30 days.
Conclusion I trust that this letter provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the issues at hand. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email provided above.
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) New York State Attorney Generals XXXX Federal Trade Commission ( FTC XXXX Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( FINRA )
