Third Party Debt Collection

[lindy1823]

Hi. I've received a letter from Allied International Credit UK Ltd saying that eBay have passed on a debt to them for collection. I don't owe anyone anything and eBay confirmed that I don't have any outstanding debts. I think it's a scam and not sure what to do? I am now worried about it. Any suggestions welcome, thanks, Lindy

It isn't likely to be a scam. EBay regularly uses debt collectors to recover unpaid fees. Several other users have posted here to say that eBay must have given them the wrong user's details.

In your position I would just write back to let them know what you've told us. If you don't owe the money you don't have anything to worry about.
